TWO TICKETS
IN THE FIELD
Great Rivalry Among the Can
didates. There are two full tickets in the
field to be voted on at the coming
city election next Monday. They
are designated as the Citizens' and
the People'B ticket. The Citizens'
ticket is as follows :
Mayor, C. E. Hawkins.
Recorder, Fern Hayden.
Treasurer, R. A. Arnold.
Marshal, Charles Bradeson.
Councilmen, George Iloeflein, W.
E. Peterson, R. S. Van Cleve.
Here is the People's ticket:
Mayor, M. N. Anderson.
Recorder, 0. 0. Krogstad.
Treasurer, G. A. Hall.
Marshal, Ferd Brown.
Councilmen, J. J. Gaither, Arthur
Nye, Melvin Gildersleeve.
They are both good, strong tick
ets, composed of our very best busi
ness men and we hope both sides
will win, although we feel almost
certain that half of them will be
defeated.
Gus Olson tried' for several days
to get the Democrats together and
nominate a straight Democratic
ticket, but on a census being taken !
it was found that there are not
enough of that political faith in
town to fill the offices. Gus con
cluded not to run alone.
It is hoped every voter will do
his duty next Monday and cast his
vote for the best man "-according to
the dictates of his conscience."
There is groat rivalry among the
candidates to get votes for his op
ponent. Some of the nominees
have refused to file their acceptance,
but that makes no difference, vote
for them anyway the people will
rule.

THANKSGIVING
F0OTBALL
Toledo Won in the Hardest
Game of the Season.
Toledo won the football game at
Newport over the team from that
place Thanksgiving Day by a score
of 10 to 5.
It was evident from the first that
Toledo would be the victors, as they
easily out-played their heavier op
ponents at every stage of the game.
On defensive, Toledo's line held
solidly and Newport was unable to
make yardage, either by bucking
the line or around the ends. To
ledo's interference was good. Time
after time Robbins and Hawkins,
aided by excellent interference,
made 20 and 30 yard runs around
Newport's left end. Goodell and
Ofstedahl also made substantial
gains when given the ball. Goodell
at full played an excellent game,
and to him is due the honor of
crossing Newport's goal line for
both touch-downs made during the
game. Newport's touchdown was
made by Aupporle intercepting a
forward pass of Toledo and run
ning 30 yards fur a touchdown. No
score was made in the last half by
either team, although all the play
ing was in Newport's territory.
Three place kicks were tried by
Toledo but were failures.
Toledo's team played excellent
ball, every player deserving credit
for the manner in which he played
his position- Robbins at quarter
played a star game and to him is
due much of the credit of the vic
tory. For Newport, Aupperle, Smith
and Hayden were easily the stars.
Prof. Weber of Toledo and Harry
Divelbiss of Yaquina were the offi
cials. The day was ideal and a large
crowd witnessed the game.
