a great gain of sympathy enlisted on
the side of tha north east stders in their
project of building a 12.000.000 bridge
across tha river below the steel bridge.

A rousing meeting was held In .the
Interests of annexation by the Mount
Scott Annexation club at Nash's hall in
Nashville Tuesday evening. The an
nexationists believe they are winning
because at this meeting, when the final
ballot was taken, as Is done each time
a meeting Is held, the vote stood 10
against and 81 fpr. annexation.
An address waa made In favor of an
nexation by Dr. William Deveny. who
told what annexation had done for Mon
tavllla, and under what adverse circum
stances the fight was waged In that
suburb. Dr. Deveny's address was a
strong one and well attended by the
audience.
Rev. Green C. Love also spoke in
favor -of annexation and was followed
by M. Krueder of Creston, who spoke
against annexation. Mr. Krueder de
clared that Mount Scot was wanted for
the mere purpose of the rich plunder it
would afford the grafters In the city
of Portland.
Music and clog dancing were some of
the attractions billed by the annexa
tionists to draw a crowd. Other meet
ings will be held at intervale at other
places in the district during the cam
paign. The Truth About La Follette" Is
