yet the ardor of the voter was not
dampened. About 90 per cent of
the voters cast their bailota in the
North Scio precinct and about the
same ratio in South Scio. Shelburn,
Lyons. Jordan and other nearby pre­
cincts alio registered heavy ballot*
ing.
The republicans swept the country
with Coolidgs and Dawes, carrying
doubtful senators and congressmen
through with them
In Oregon, the
entire state republican ticket was
elected by large majorities. The
Tribune supported Jefferson Myer»
f r stite treasurer an I we frankly ad­
mit we feel his defeat is a great loss
to the state, while on the other of­
ficers elected we are satialied.
