CUT ELECTION 10
BE ED DEC.
Mayor, Recorder, Treasurer,
Marshall and Councilmen
to Be Chosen.
MANY CANDIDATES ARE
MENTIONED FOR MAYOR
The Registration Will Open To
morrow and Books Will
Close on November 22.
Continued from Tuesday, Sep. 30
December 1, the first Monday in
the month, is the date of the coming
city election.
At that time a mayor, recorder,
treasurer, marshall and a councilman
from each of the three wards are to
be chosen.
Meantime, the people of Albany will
be able to watch the trend of politics.
Tomorrow City Recorder Van Tas
sel will send out cards announcing
that a primary nominating election
will be held for the Democrats and
Republicans to choose their candi
dates. This formality has always been car
ried out here but not in tile history of
the city has a- nominating election
been held. Nor will one be held this
time, although, scheduled for Novem
ber 1, as the usual method will be em
ployed of nominating candidates by
petitions.
Tomorrow the city registration
books will be open and will close at
6 o'clock on November 22. The rec
order's office is the official registra
tion booth.
Councilmen who are to go out of
office are J. R. Hulbert, for the first
ward; M. J. Cameron, for the second
ward, and Henry Lyons for the third
ward.
Mayor Gilbert, Recorder Van Tas
sel, Treasurer Harry Cusick and Chief
of Police Austin, are the present in
cumbents of their respective offices.'
Councilmen Simpson, Blount, and
Johnson, the remaining members of
the municipal board, are to serve an
other year.
Councilmen Lyons, Cameron and
Hulbcrt and Chief of Police Austin
have been highly spoken of as capa
ble officials. Recorder Van Tassel
and Treasurer Cusick have unquestion
ably met witli favor according to the
general run of public sentiment.
Judges and Clerks for the coming
election have been named and polling
places designated as follows:
First ward: G. C. Turner, E.
Washburn, and Cora Hopkins, judges;
Harriet D. Van Tassel and Cassie
Thompson, clerks. Polling places,
county recorder's office. Second
ward: T. J. Stitcs, W. C. Tweedale,
and D. H. Leech, judges; Lelia Mit
chell and Vclma Davis clerks; polling
plac city recorder's ofiice. Third
ward: W. H. McElmurry, N. D.
Conn, and J. J. Livingston, judges;
E. L. Humphrey, H. Babb, clerks;
polling place, Hammond Lumber
Company's office.
While it is not definitely . known
whether or not Mayor Gilbert will be
a candidate for re-election it now
seems certain that he will meet with
opposition in the event that he con
cludes to enter the race. Tims far
the mayor has made no public an
nouncement of his position but some
of his friends assert that he will not
make the race this fall.
Among those who arc .mentioned
for this position are Dr. Davis. L. M.
Curl, Ed. D. Cusick, F. M. French,
Geo. Taylor. L. E. Hamilton, W. A.
Hulhert, Judge Palmer ' and others.
Some of those whose names are men
tioned have positively declined to ac
cept the position and as far as can be
ascertained none of them are courting
public favor.
None of the members of the city
council whose terms expire this fall
are at all anxious to give their time to
the city for another two years and
there is a serious question among
their friends as to whether or not
they arc willing to accept a renomina
tibn. The fight this fall will center
around the mayor's office and it prom
is to be one of the most interesting
political battles in the municipal his
tory of Albany.

statement made this morning by Mrs.
Truman Babb, a deputy in the office.

just recently have began to become in
terested. If the present registration
of women voters continues, their
votes in this section will be an impor

PEOPLE FROM ALL

Want Information From Com
mercial Clubs About Oregon
and Valley.
That there are hundred of Eastern
people interested in Oregon and are
seeking information about the country
the commercial clubs and chambers
of commerce of cities of the Willam
ette valley, is indicated by the num
ber of inquiries received daily by the
commercial organizations, real estate
dealers who are extensive advertisers
and by other sources.
Public officials are constanly receiv
ing similar letters and are turning
them over to the proper commercial
organizations.
It has been said that this strongly
indicates that there will be a great
immigration of Easterners to Oregon
prior to 1915.
Conditions have been so quiet for
some time that this is taken to be a
foregone conclusion. With the coun
try substantially fixed politically and
otherwise at present, it has been said
that there is nothing now to prevent
:in influx of newcomers.

club received through the mail from
the Portland Development league a
list of 100 names representing people
from all over the United States and
some from foreign countries. They
are seeking information upon the fol
lowing subjects which is the average
run of questions: "I am deeply in
terested in agriculture," "general in
formation," "Please send me informa
tiion about Oregon and the Willam

and cattle raising," "Information about
farming," "Land prices," etc., etc.
