The Marshfield municipal election
yesterday resulted In a sweeping vic
tory for the Marshfield Citizens Lea
gue, all of their candidates being
elected and the propositions to in
crease the limit of indebtedness, and
to Issue $42,000 In bonds to refund
the warranted indebtedness being de
feated. The election was very quiet, not
nearly the full vote being cast. The
total vote polled yesterday was 5G1,
nearly 200 less than were cast at the
municipal election a year ago. The
voting was. steady all day. During
the voting, there was little Indication
on the street of an eletclon being in
progress. Last evening, however, a
large number eagerly awaited the
returns. While the result on the
candidates for office was anticipated,
there was some doubt about the re
sult on the charter aniqndment the
Increasing of the limit of Indebted
ness and the issuance of bonds. The
early returns showed the vote to' ba
pretty evenly divided, only three or
four votes difference. The early
vote, which being in the bottom ot
the box and consequently counted
last, was strong against the amend
ments. Only three votes were challenged
during the day and In each case, the
challenge was made to stick. Two
defective ballots were thrown out.
Many madp mistakes In voting on the
bond Issue and the proposition to in
crease tho city's limit of indebtedness
and about five per cent of the votes
on these questions could not be
counted.
Last evening, the election board
issued bulletins every twenty min
utes showing how the count was pro
gressing and the action was greatly
appreciated by the. , large , , number
awaiting tho returns, It was nearly
10 o'clock before the count was com
pleted. The election board consisted
of John C. Merchant , J. R. Lightner
and John Bear as judges and C. H.
Marsh, F. M. Friedberg, and F. M.
Itummell as clerks.
During the day, Peter Scott acted
as challenger fflr the .Cjtlzens League

Jack Flanagan Finds Means of
Securing Charter For Coos
Bay.
Coos Bay members of the B. P. O.
E. will probably have a special cen
sus of Marshfield taken In order to
show that this city has a population
of 5,000, the number required to
secure a charter for an Elk's lodge.
This Is the result of the conference
.that Jack Flanagan held with tho
order's grand lodge officers. In Port
land a few days ago. Mr. Flanagan
hae just returned from Portland and
will report to a special meeting of the
local Elks at tho Alliance office Fri
day evening, December 4, at 8
o'e'ock, Every Elk who possibly can
la, urged to be present at the meet
ing. Mr. Flanagan Is pleased with the
project for securing the lodge. Ho
and others who are interested in or
giuiizing an .Elks' lodge here are
confident .that Marshfield has the
population required Jby ,the grand
lodge to secure a charter. The Grand
Lodfie officers were pleased with Mr.
Flanagan's report of the prospects
foi a lodge here, but they said that
the rules of the Order require an
official statement sho.wlng that tho
jcity has tho required population of
5,000.
This can be done by having a spe
cial census taken now under tho dl-'
reotion of the Elks, tho returns of
which can bo approved and attested
by Mayor Straw and the other city
officials. ,
. However, the whole' matter will be
dlficussed'and decided at Friday
