Office Phone 859 Resident Phone 4S0J Salem. Oregon Contest being republicans. After promising support to the respective men, with pressure being brought to bear from their respective home towns, the county court paused, took stock, and decided to mark tune and do noth ing that might Incur the loss of future votes and leave the matter slide until the spring election. The fact that there have been more than half a dozen violent deaths that needed official Investigation has not caused the court to swerve from Its lethargetle position. Sheriff T. B. Hooker, republican, who went Into office four years ago with the largest majority on rec ord, slightly less than 3000 ballots being cast in his favor, will also ask the voters to return him to office.

Hamilton, county treasurer, is another first term man and apparently has his eye on the Job for another four years with no adverse word to the contrary to date.
