The official returns from every county but Curry are now ia from the presidential elec tion. The total vote cast was 9020$; republican plurality 42, 800. This is the heaviest plur ality the republican ticket ever received in the state and the heaviest vote ever ca?t in a presidential election except in nud mayor be selected by the people of Independence one week from next Monday. No candidates have yet been cen tered on. A number of names, including present incumbents, have been proposed, but a dis inclination to accept has Wen expressed, generally. Some body must serve. If men of moral courage to make and exe cute laws along Hues of the moral and progressive interests of the town will not accept, men of indifference will be chosen Independence cannot afford mor al laxity nor indifference to the oroirress of the times in the K - c. administration of its affairs Tbis paper has no candidate uor set of candidates to present but trusts men of affairs may be m EVERYBODY'S COLUMN rr Sule.

The growth of socialism in the state is noteworthy. The socialist party increased from 1494 in 1900 to 5763 in 1902 and jump ed to 7615 in 1904, or almost half that of the democratic can didates vote. From 1900 to 1902 the democratic vote do- creased 2879 and from 1902 to 1904 it fell off 13,019 more With another such slump in the democratic vote and correspond ing increase in the socialist, the latter party will be far in the " lead in Oregon while democracy will be face to face with' disinte gration. ; Notwithstanding the tale told by cold and incontrovertible figures, the statement that a stampede of the democrats to the socialist party is on, is hard ly warranted. The fact is Park er and his gold telegram kept many democrats from the polls. Others, feeling they had no can didate through whom they could express their political senti ments, and having confidence in Roosevelt, voted the republi can ticket while others, as one of the three ways out of the di lemma, voted for Debs. If the socialists and democrats each have a ticket in the field, it is not likely that next election will show such a remarkable slump in the democratic vote or so great gain in the socialist vote. Boys should not be permitted to stand for hours at the slot machine or sit at gambling tables. The tin-horn and pro fessional gambler should be made to move on. Ordinances regulating the conduct of sa loons should be strictly enforc ed. Bawdy houses should not be allowed to encroach on the morals of the community. Streets and sidewalks of Inde pendence should be as, good or better than those of other towns in the valley. For the reason that 1905 is to be Oregon's big show year, more attention should be paid to beautifying and im proving the town than on pre vious years. This is a platform Thanksgiving on Thursday. No turkeys taken on subscrip tion after next Thursday at 9 A. M. Next year will be a red letter year in the history of Oregon. One more effort and Judge Parker can start a Commoner. Another game of football and co fatalities. Roosevelt and Fairbanks have not yet been elected president and vice president. It's only . t a i .La. V an electoral college mat nas been chosen. The prospects are brieht. however, for Roosevelt and Fairbanks to graduate from that college with high honors. Notice of Final Settlement.
