List of Nominees
Long after the state and national
officers are nominated and their
abilities and disabilities broadcast to
the anxiously awating voters, the
cities add their bit to the general
political scene witn another crop of
candidates for municipal affices.
* In cities the size of those of Sher
man county the nominations are us
ually made at a mass meeting called
. by the mayor or recorded and inter
ested citizens make their own ticket
or tickets. 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

of the city mass
assured of their
not;
Coleman as chairman and L. H. Na-
house as secretary. * Nominees for
city office were: G- L. French, for
mayor; O- A. Ramsey. Max Bull and
Harry Kunsman for the 4 year terms
and Frank Burnet and E. E. 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. *
