Mayor-elect John Giesy has
tendered to Walter Blrtchett, the
high man in the rada for chief of
police, the offer of appointment aq
chief under the new admlnistra-j
tion. The enthusiastic ,endorsifi4
ment that the peonle have eivenl
to Officer Birtchett makes this of
Cer seem -logical as well as grace
ful. This amendment could not
go into effect until the expiratloff
of the term of office to . which
Chief Verden L. Moffitt was elect
ed. Had the aDDointlve measnrW
not carried, Birtchett would have1
tteen police chief through his elec4
tion. i f

t(Vfneadayr 4Thersa seemsfl(
be'no room for two forma of ex
ecutive heads over the same func4
tion of goverhment for the city
any. more than for the state or the
nation. With the hearty cooper!
ation of the whole city authority
in enforcing the laws, there wili
be a unity and a team-work effeci
that ought to work well. It wilt
be up to the appointed chief to
make good on the selection by the
mayor ana toe. council,:, and to-i
gether tMey ought" to get result
that -never could come through a
divided authority.'. j
Mayor-elect John B. Giesv last
night corroborated the report thaf
he intended to aDDOint Office
Birtchett, saying that he decided
to do this as goon as k was as-j
sured that.heshad been elected
and that the appointive measure
had passed.. He said that h
wishes the .people to understand
that, their cboioe is good with him
and that the only thing he will
ask Is tin effective cooperation be.
t ween the mayer and council m
orta hand, and the chief of polity
en tha other. , .. It is understood
thai, the council will unanimously
agree with the choice, so it's Chief
Birtchett -for certain.
: Responsible for Results
Mt.HsGiesy indicated that he
would. hold the new appointivd
chief responsible" for results,; but
allow a; wide liberty in the select
tion of a: working force, subject al-
ways to the approval of mayor and
council,- and the production of re
sults; jvi'--
Two years ago the people of
Salem said by considarable ma
jorities that ; they didn't see the
Rood of the consolidation of execu
tive power by making the mar
shalship appointive, or of getting
new fire equipment.
This ytear.they repented, and
carried both measures by declsiv-i
votes. . The fire-eauinment mea-
sur3 that requires
a two-thirds
majority because it carries with
it an issue of property bonds,
came through with 394 votes more
than necessary to put it across.
The figurtea are 3352 votes for the
bonding, bill, and 1478 against it.
Council Unanimous
In an interview Wednesday
Mayor George Halvorsen said that
while there' Is no tiove fixed "for
the action of the council in actin?
on this matter he expected it to
act at once. It Is understood that
the council .was unanimous in fa
voring the measnre. The coun
cil could prepare to issue the
bonds on very short notice, and
the equipment, if it Is available
tor early delivery, might be 'vn
hand and putting out fires within
the axt very few days. . ,
Fire Chief Hutton is plepwd at
the prospect xtt really adequate
fire equipment. He says there is
rufficient hose for all uses, with
what Is already on hand or pro
vided for in the regular budget.

Governor Jokes Over Phone
Son Asks Who Whipped;
Daddy Tells Him
Governor Olcott was in merry
mood yesieruay notwithstanding
his decisive defeat in the election
Tuesday by Walter M. Pierce.
Calling up c. E. Ingalis at Repub
lican headquarters in Portland,
ike governor's end of the conver
ts tion was about as follows,
laughing heartily at tho apparent
disgruntled response that came
iroin the other end of the wire:
"Heilo. Is this Mr. C. E. In
galis. late of Corvallis?" V
Oh, very late, you say. About
how late?
About 3;30 this morning."
"This is Ben Olcott, erstwhile
governor of Oregon, speaking."
"We're feeling fine here. No
regrets and everybody happy."
About the time Governor Ol
cott arose yesterday morning at
bis home he was accosted by one
of his young sons.
Who whipped. Daddy? " asked
the son.
. "Mr. Pierce whipped, son," re
sponded the governor.
"He's the man that is going to
cut down taxes, Isn't he?" in
quired son.
, "He's the man," answered the
governor.

of King county that a rte-check f
unofficial returns from the county
would probably show a gain of

man Charles Hebberd would not
concede Dill's election, he told the

that Senator Poindexter "will bs
able to overcome Dill's lead, which
is apparently about 3,000 votes."

a lead of 5126 votes. The" count

every instance, were small and in
namote districts of the state.

gave Dill 116.37 and Poindexter
112,810. James Duncan, Farmer.

third and fourth congressional dis
tricts showed the re-election of

at this time, the election of C,
C. Dill to the United States sen
ate over Senator Miles Polndez
ter." Republican state Chairman
Charles Hebbard said tonight in
a statement to the Associated
Press.
"In view, however, of the fact
that Mr. Dill has constantly main
tained a lead of nearly 5,000 votes
on the basis of late returns re
ceived during the afternoon and
evening;' Mr. Hebbard said, "it
does not appear that Senator
Poindexter will be able to over
come Dill's lead, which apparently
Is about 3.000 votes, of the result
of the re-check- In Pierce and
King counties tarns out as ex
pected. This re-check, however,
may very possibly result favor
ably to Senator Poindexter."
Dill Sore of Election

beat me now," said Clarence C.
Dill. Democratic nominee for
tTnited States senator, tonight as
returns from yesterday's voting
coninued to give him a lead over
Miles Poindexter, Republican in
cumbent. "I believe that I shall not only
hold my present lead, but prob
ably Increase it as the final f!g
ures come !n- I have carried
every county in my old congres
sional district except Chelan and
will lead Po'ndexter by more than
