< in i y County Sends Six

Hay Russel. Brookings;

There were a few surprises in con
nection with the election Friday and
they wero not all agreeable, In the
first place Cooe county's favorite
ton, L. J. Simpson, didn't run as
strong as expected in other parts of
the state, although his home county
gave him a splendid boost. James
Withycombe,
present
incumbent,
took on an unusual burst of speed,
it is safe to say, exceeded his
expectations.
He was nomln-
by a big majority. Olcott, who
most feared by other candidates
proved to be a bugaboo; and Moser
was right along In a class with
Harley. In the senatorial race Mc
Nary won over Stanfield with a
good majority.

it and had made another payment,
and that representatives of the new
owners are enroute here to begin op
erations. The Coos Bay Times says
that Captain Snyder of the Sampson

men are enroute here to start work

Laird Nominated Sheriff
The most interesting contest
among county candidates was for the
office of sheriff. The four candi-
lates run neck and neck, and at the
finish Laird led the bunch, his near-
st competitor being Ellingson, who
was only nine votes behind.
Mc-
,'ulloch also had a close run with
Robison for surveyor, winning by 4 6
>otes. Tho biggest surprise was the
vote for commissioner, Mr. Arm
strong being defeated by a vote of
almost 6 to 1. The big combination
that went out after hla scalp was
too much for him. Eveu the Bandon
tectlon turned him down, although
they gave him almost a 50-60 vote.
There was probably some personal
satisfaction gratified in local quar
ters by seeing him defeated, but aft
er the Coos Bay man gets in It will
probably be interesting to watch the
doings of the county court from a
local standpoint.
