Three suoh interesting polTdcal events occured in this coun ty during the past week and resulted in nominations for all offices to be vacant the first of the year.' In Was co and Moro there was a large num ber of councilmen nominated because of removals and resignations that necessitated election of almost a full council in the case of Moro and a full council at Wasco It is possible for those who desire city office to file a petition with the recorder of his or her city anytime within ten days of the date of the election asking that his or her name be placed on the ballot and it is also possible for any one to be nominated by any group of fifteen persons res idents of the city. In some cases candidates have their names written in on the ballot if dissatisfied with the candidates nominated at the mass Wheat League To Meet Moro Suffers First Dec. 1 and 3 At Condon Defeat Of Year of the city mass assured of their not; Coleman as chairman and L.

Barzee for the two year term. Joe Truitt and C. V. Belknap were nominated for treasurer, that being the- only office for which there is a contest up to date. Wasco nominated candidates Mon day night with a small body of voters present. M. G- Tuel was named for mayor; J. P- Yates, E. D, McKee, P. O’Meara, R. O- Scott, Harry Richelderfer and W. Nesbit for coun cilmen there being need of a full set- Mrs- B. E. Hailey was nominated for treasurer and E. F. Feldman for re corder, which position he now holds- Wasco is the only towrf in the county that elects a recorder, apparently. Election of city officials will be held at the time of the general elec tion, November 8th.' Coppock Changes Time In Moro R H. Coppock, liquidator of the Bank of Moro, is changing his days in Moro due to conditions at Hood River where he is still in charge of the Butler Bank. Hereafter he will be in Moro in the middle of each week instead of the latter half as has been his custom during the summer. * 4 trict No. 4 * CLAIMS FOR SEPTEMBER ! Co.
