The ilate for filing for any of the state or county offices has past and the mad scramble for votes will be on from now until after the primaries the middle of May. There are several candidates for most of the offices, and no voter should have any great difficulty in finding a candidate to suit his fancy. Whoever is elected, things in general will probably move along about the same, and there will be about the usual amount of criticism. There is little possibility of anyone being elected who advocates any great changes in our system of government and taxation. Reform move ments are ail right, because they start people thinking, and while many of the ideas put forth are found to be impracticable, they never do a great deal of ham in any v ay. It takes a long time to get over a new idea to the American public, and the public is slowly in discarding an old one. The candidate who stays with the gang and the old system usually stands a far better chance of being elected. The complete list of candidates is now available and every good citizen should study the list and make up his mind as to who he believes he should support. Take your choice; and VOTE on May 18. ----------- oOo----------- MORE INTEREST IN NEWS WRITING Seventy men and women of Clackamas county were sufficiently interested in news writing to attend the one- day conference held in Oregon City Saturday. Those who attended were there for the purpose of learning more about writing news that it may appear more interesting to the reader. All ready one can note improvements in the corre spondence being sent in from some of the country dis tricts, and there is going to be more improvements. The newspapers of Clackamas county will be made more in teresting than ever before. And this means that they will be of a greater service to the country they serve, and pos sibly more profitable to the publishers. Every business enterprise, in order that it may suc ceed. must keep up to the times. The newspaper business is no exception. Every newspaper in the county was rep resented at Oregon City Saturday. Everyone of them are awake; they are progressive, and entitled to the support of the people of Clackamas county. CURRINSVILLE ----------- oOo----------- R. A.
