rdiiary press u r e is being
brought to bear on him j-tfrom
foth sides.' Besides being talked
for, reelection as councilman,
there are those willing to bet he
twill be Silverton 's next mayor.
In certain j quarters this Idea is
jbelng pushed strongly.
George Hubbs, republican, who
was appointed by Mayor Moffett
ko fill the Unexpired term of Ithe
late George! Cusiter, democrat,- is
ttill on the i fence and-ret upesi to
fcommit himself. Hubbs backers
are numerous, and these say that

mer Mayor W. Garver has
been approached by friends, but
sys under no circumstances will
he be a candidate for any city
orfice at this time.
!L. C. Eastman, also a former
mayor, Is being i strangely talked

will consider the candidacy he
said he had no comments to make
at i the present time. . It- Is gen
eral knowledge that considerable
pressure is being brought to bear
in an effort to get Eastman j to
enter the race. Ri B. Duncan and
Dr. I P. A. Loar.nave both been
urged to run for mayor, and both
report they are flattered but very
sure! nothing could induce. them
to run. George ManoLJs has been
mentioned by a number and some
say he would have strong Legion
backing, buihe only laughs and
says ("nothing doing." ,
Frank . Wray, . democrat, was
thought by his friends to be a
