1010 LEAD SO EAR
Election passed off in Oregon on
Tuesday without any particularly
startling events. The results were
what had been predicted, as a whole,
by the majority of the voters. About
80 per cent of the registered voters
appeared at the polls.
Among the more important candi
dates, Booth seems to have lost to
Chamberlain for United States Sena
tor, but the margin will be narrow
when the final vote is counted. Haw
ley, McArthur and Sinnott were easy
winners for Congress. All are Repub
licans. In this district, Cleaver, Pro
hibitionist ran second.
the surprise ot the election was
the immense majority by which Hon
Jas. Withycombe was elected Governor
over his democratic opponent, C. J
Smith, the Portland physician. Withy
combe was given probably the largest
majority any candidate for Governor
of Oregon ever received.
Thos. Kay was an easy winner for
State Treasurer. Geo. M. Brown of
Douglas County appeared to have been
elected Attorney General. J. A.
Churchill of Baker County had an im
mense majority for Superintendent of
Public Instruction. O. P. Hoff will
continue to be State Factory Inspector.
Frank J. Miller is again elected Rail
road Commissioner. All of these can
didates are Republicans.
For Justices of the Supreme Court,
it appears that all four nominees of
the Republican party, Henry J. Bean,
Henry L. Benson, Thomas A. Mc
Bride, and Lawrence T. Harris were
winners.
Some of the figures given the above
candidates in 11 precincts in Morrow
County are: Cleaver 517, Evans 296,
Sinnott 736, Booth 728, Chamberlain
550, Hanley 161, C. J. Smith 518,
Withycombe 912, Kay 869.
From the reports we have been able
to receive up to the the time we go
to press it appears that all but two
of the initiative measures have been
snowed under by an avalanche of
"Nos." The two that appear to have
been carried are the amentment re
quiring voters to be citizens of the
United States and the Prohibition
Amendment. The latter appears to
have been carried by at least 10,000
and further returns from up state may
raise these figures. The vote in
Morrow County on these two bills
are: for the first named; yes 955, no
331; for prohibition, yes 1018, no 579.
East St. Louis Sets Pace For Go to Church
Movement Great Enthusiasm Shown
EAST ST. LOUIS had a banner GO TO CHURCH Sunday.
Eighty-two per cent of the population went to divine service,
"llow did you do it?" was the question asked by hundreds of
other cities throughout the country. The answer came:
ALL CITY OFFICIALS ASKED THEIR EMPLOYEES TO GO TO
CHURCH. THE CHIEF OF POLICE ASSEMBLED ALL THE PO
LICEMEN AT ROLL CALL AND ASKED THEM TO GO TO SOME
CHUfCH. JUST BEFORE GOING HOME SATURDAY NIGHT HE
REVISED THE PATROL SCHEDULE OF ALL THE PATROLMEN
AND DETECTIVES SO THAT THEY COULD GET AWAY TO SOME
CHURCH SERVICE SUNDAY. IN THE PRESENCE OF MEMBERS
OF THE BOARD OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS HE HANDED THE
SCHEDULE TO THE SERGEANT IN CHARGE.
The chief of iho fire department just after returning from a
fire run Saturday afternoon assembled the entire lire department
and told the men the schedule would be arranged so thev could
GO TO CIIUECII. The superintendent of public instruction as
sembled all the teachers and asked them to GO TO SOMK
CHURCH. He also instructed them to tell their pupils to GO TO
CHURCH.
THE RETAIL MERCHANTS ENTERED THE SPIRIT OF THE
THING. THEY INVITED THEiR PATRONS TO ATTEND SERV.
ICES. WHEN A WOMAN WENT TO A STORE TO MAKE A PUR
CHASE THE GROCER WOULD ASK HER IF SHE WOULD BE IN
CHURCH NEXT DAY, OR HE WOULD 8AY PLEASANTLY, "WILL
I SEE YOU IN CHURCH TOMORROW?" THE DELIVERY BOYS
ALSO EXTENDED CHURCH INVITATIONS. "SEE YOU IN
CHURCH TOMORROW I" WAS HEARD IN MORE HOMES IN EAST
ST. LOUIS THAN EVER BEFORE. THE STREET CAR COMPANIES
CARRIED SIGNS GRATIS ADVERTISING THE MOVEMENT.
That's how East St. Louis did it. Other cities and towns are
planning the same kind of a campaign.

city were on hand in large numbers

For State Senator from this district
C. A. Barratt of Athena had a sub

formed the Herald of their intentions
to be present at the convention are:
Wm. liarratt, Geo. Currin, John Kil
kenny, llynd Brothers, Mike Kenny,

to be contemplating the trip, leaving
here this morning. The first session
opens at 10:00 a. m.

Lexington.
A party of workmen are now en
gaged, under Mr. Davis, putting

The rest of the game saw both teams

A large number of lone and Lex

Society held their annual bazaar in
the Artisan Hall on Saturday night.
Ice cream and cake were served and
all enjoyed themselves.
Mr. Snyder residing two miles
southeast of Lexington held a public
sale on Friday afternoon of all of his
dairy cows and one separator. Only
a few attended, however, and bidding

and the sale called off.

Dr. and Mrs. Chick were up from
the Egg City Wednesday.
Mr. A. Matteson, one of the well
known ranchers of the south end
wheat belt, was in the county seat on
election day and dropped into the
Herald office to buy a dollar and one-
half's worth of stock in the syndicate.
He is thus assured of the presence of
the semi-weekly on his family table
for the next 52 weeks.
The lone football warriors were
victorious over the home guard High
School pigskin booters and won the
election day struggle by the narrow
margin of three points. These three
points were also the only ones of the
game.
The score of three to nothing tells
a clear story of how evenly matched
the two teams were. On offensive
work they were about a Btandoff. On
defensive work the Heppner boys with
their heavier line were stronger than
their opponents in breaking up
straight line bucks but in open field
defense the visitors showed themselves
much faster of the two.
"Fat" Blake, the lone captain, again
proved himself a star. As quarter
back on the offensive his generalship
proved a most valuable asset to his
team. He carried the ball often him
self and generally made heavy yard
age. The balance of the lone back-
field seemed unable to pierce the Hepp
ner defense for any substantial gains.
On the defense, Blake stationed him
self at left tackle and here again his
great work was much in evidence.
Harry Morgan, left tackle, and Deb
Wright at left halfback, were undoubt
edly the stars for Heppner High. Mor
gan showed up strong on the defensive
work and was the cause of Ione's back
field being downed for losses at sev
eral different times. He broke through
the lighter lone line almost at will.
Wright showed an abundance of nerve
in carrying the ball and hit the line
low and hard for substantial yardage.
The three points to the credit of the
visitors came as the result of a rather
flukey play. Ray Blake, lone fullback,
