When a football rally is on

boys to be angels. Let them
have all the innocent fun possi

bounds of reason and propriety,

timonious to exercise his lungs

Active publicity work has re

of the Pacific Northwest that

The registration of the voters
closed on Thursday and 2085
names appear on the books,
showing 1172 republicans, 683
democrats, 48 socialists, 73 pro
hibitionists and 109 independ
ents.' This would give the re
publicans a majority of 260 votes
over all opposition, including
the independents, or 489 major
ity over the democrats. Many
blank A's will be voted by college
students anil others,;? which will
materially increase the! 'republi
can majority and to this, may
reasonably bem added a majority
of the independent voters. Ben
ton county will give Taft over
500 majority.
While we would be pleased to
see every democrat, every social
ist and every prohibitionist walk
up to the polls on election day
and vote,, we confess we are more
