REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE
HOLDS ITS FIRST MEETINO
' -ALL SEEMS WELL,
At 'a meeting yesterday afternoon
of the members of the Republican
coonty. committee who reside within
the city of Astoria and therefore com
prise the city committee the political j
situation was thoroughly canvassed, i
It was agreed that at in eomemnce-j
ment the campaign for the Republi
can ticket looks exceedingly bright
"I believe," said one of the mem
bers, "that we will elect the entire
ticket from the head down."
The meeting organized by electing
Asmus Brix chairman and Ole J.
Settem, secretary, Frank Patton was
designated as the treasurer. Five
members of the committee were
present yesterday, as follows; Ole J
Settem, E. Hauke, D. H- Welch,
Frank Dcveney, F. I. Dunbar.
It was decided to call a meeting,
for some day this week to be decided
upon later, when all of the candi
dates on the Republican ticket may
get together and discuss the situa
tion. There seems to be a feeling
in the air that the Republicans can't
lose the election if they simply take
proper measures to instil a little ac
tivity Into the campaign. Some are
free to say with confidence that if
the election were to be held tomor
row the Republicans would win two
to one, or even three to one, though
it is anticipated that the other side
will work ceaselessly to overcome
what now appears to be a very up
hill job.
It is interesting to note the char
acter of men who are now not only
allying themselves with the Republi
can ticket, but are openly working
for its success. Some of the best
men in the city are giving their ac
tive assistance.
A Common Occurrence
A well-attired woman 'with the
manner of one not nsed to business
affairs enquired at the office of the
city auditor yesterday about her as
sessments on two lots. The auditor
explained, telling of the installment
plan, She said she did not know just;
what to do. Perhaps she would have
to let both of them go, she said. Or
perhaps, by the installment plan, she
could make payments on one at
least. She evidently hoped she would
be able to make the payment on ons
of the lots at least The reporter
who chanced to hear made no en
auiries as to the amount of the as
sessments, or the financial standing
of the lady. It was simply another
occurrence that has become quite
common at the city hall. Perhaps,
too, the two lots that this lady was
asking about may have been about a'l
the orooertv she owns in the world,
and it may have seemed quite hard
to her to be "compelled to think that
she is about to lose one or both of
them bv "confiscation," or to be told
that the same men who have ruled
the city's aff;irs of late years are now
nromisina that the same "public-
spirited improvements" shall be kept
"P-
Not Many.Truantsr-
Police Officer , Wilson, who has
been detailed on the list of truancy
cases, reported to thewlepartment by
the board of education, has not been
able "to find many youngsters who
are keot out of school. Out of 300
rennrted he has only found
thus -far perhaps a dozen during a
week's investigation, and usually
they are either just about 16 years
of age or are over 14 and at work.
Manv who are reported as deiin
uent have moved out of the city, and
75 renorted as delinquent are attend
ing the Sisters' school. It is the duty
of the clerk of the school district to
take the school census this fall and
the new census may show some de
linquents of whom nothing is known
now. It would have seemed the best
way to have postponed the "round
ing in)" until after the annual census.
as the work . will now apparently
have to be gone over twice.

FILE ACCEPTANCE
DEMOCRAT NOMINEE DOESN'T
BETRAY MUCH EAGERNESS
TO GET INTO THE RACE
Mi'. Smith failed to file his accept
ance of the Democrat nomination for
the mayoralty in the office of the city
auduor yesterday afternoon.
Two other nominees, namely, Rob
ert Carruthers, for the police com
mission, and Otto Peterson, for the
water commission for the four-year
term in the Fourth ward, also failed
to file. The five days are now up.
The state law apparently provides
that nominees shall formally hie
their acceptances within five days
after the nominations are received.
Yet it may be quite doubtful if this
provision, even if it be mandatory and
not merely directory, applies to local
elections. Besides those who went
before the primary on petition al
ready stand pledged to accept the
nominations given them.
While there seems no reason1. why
Mr. Smith should not have accepted
the nomination within the five days,
as virtually all the other candidates
have, yet it is deemed probable that
his failure to do so will not militate
against him in any way.
Mr. Carruthers, it is understood,
has been out of the city.
With Mr. Peterson the case may
be different. While it is understood
that he is comfortably well-to-dq.
still he apparently does not hold
property in his own name, and last
year's tax list does not contain his
name, thoutrh it does contain his
wife's name. The charter provides
that a condition precedent for elec
tion to the water commission is that
the candidate must be a taxpayer.
Seeks Relief
'A communication from William
Bell was filed in the office of the city
auditor yesterday asking for relief
from what he deems excessive as
sessment ,' against his property at
Franklin avenue and 36th street. He
states that on account of this im
provement he , has paid the city
$468.21 and interest to the amount of
$72.94, and, there is still remaining a
balance of $279.78 and $32 interest.

Mr. Bell states that his property was
! not benefited by the improvement, 1
but actually injured on account f
the grade being cut down, contrary
to the petition of the adjoining
property owners. A slide ensued,
too, which tore up' the crossing and
sidewalk. Mr. Bell states that he
understands a reduction was made
fn the case of MyTt Reed, whose
property adjoins his, and in order to
settle the matter by way of com
promise, ne oners tne city, me sum
of $150 in full settlement of fhe
claims aaainst him. The council has
already in several cases gone behind
the assessments made by the proper
board of assessors and granted re
lief, and iir other cases has refused
the remiested relief. The whole
method appears .quite doubtful;
though the need of relief in some
cases appears to be plain.
Club Officers
At its annual meeting the Irving
Club of this city elected and install
ed the following named directors
and officers for the ensuing year:
Directors: A. L. Fox, H. L. Hender
son,. Asmus Brix, Chris Schmidt and

President, H. F. Prael; first vice
president, A. R, Finch; second. vice
president, John Fox; secretary, O. F
Heilborn, and treasurer, J. R. A.
Bennett.
Another New Home-
Contractor C G. Palmberg is to
build a new home for Manager Chas.
Humphrys of the Postal Telegraph
Co., of this city. It will be -a very
handsome and cozy establishment
and among the real "gem", houses
of the city; it is needless to say that
Mr. and Mrs. Humphrys will be
overjoyed to get into it finally.'
The "Bakeronian"
The new and handsome little thea
tre, for so long a time known here
as the "Star,1
but now doing busi
ness under the title of the "Bakeron
ian," was jammed tcK its threshold
last evening, when it opened to
the public under the management of
Mr. Bernard, assisted by Mr. Simon
ton. The theatre is very neat in its
new decorations and equipment, and
the bill was strongly attractive and
entertaining, and with the long
series of improvements promised,
the house must became a' popular
favorite in the amusement world of
Astoria.
