lllEISfll It
Not as aspirants for public office
Jut rather a bosters r the cotar
mon weal have the women of Hepp
ner taken upon themselves the
nomination of a city ticket for the
coming election. Not as critics of
the things that werebut as believers
in the things that may be have they
framed the platform upon which
they confidently predict on their
"Progress" posters that the men
they have chosen as their standard
bearers will ride triumphant to a
unanimous election.
ine women, God bless em, may
not know as much about the ins and
cuts of politics, straight and crooked
as some men that might be named in
any town in the Uuited Stntes, but
they do have a pretty u'.ear - idea
about the kind of a town they want
. v live in. They have, somewhere,
)tten a pretty straight tip that
-tveding through mudholes and dust
piles is mighty hard on white shoes
aid that wire entanglements and
scrr.r iron fortifications would be of
more service to the allies if install
ed in no man's land than on the side
walks of Heppner. They may not
know as Imuch about matins mon
ey as do bankers and merchants and
lawyers and sheepmen and country
editors, etc., but. they have a pretty
clear hunch how some of the money
might be profitably spent in civic
improvements and community bet
terments. The Herald is free to admit that
the women made a good hit when
they framed that platform. Being
a man and having mixed a little in
politics in the good old days when
we lords of creation enjoyed a mono
poly on running the country and
keeping the
poor houst,
platform with a somewhat critical
eye. We looked for flaws and Uto- (
plan dreams and, by Jig; we found:
incur uui, n iiuu wc u icu lu jock, u
flaw In the proposals about mud
holes and cross walks and good
roads and clearing creek channels
and boosting for a hotel and a com
fort station that a person can
reach without hiring a Jitney, we
had to quit. We thought we had
'em when we came to the two planks
al.out "spending the people's money)
foi the people's benefit" and "de
manding a dolkr's worth of service
for every oollar'B worth of salary,"
but after talking it over with Will
Mahoney and Mike Roberts and Phil
Colin and Bruce Kelley and a few
more of the boys who have had
considerable experience In politics
and business, we finally decided
that perheps wf might as well not
make any row even about that; the
fellows seomeI to think that, after
all. It was only what any of us would
inianl in private business and that
perhaps It Is well right.
There Is one thing about a wonwn
that most every married man has
noticed, and that is that she mighty
h always gets what she startB
r whether It Is a hat or a thea
... ticket or a pew well down the
middle aisle, or the loose change In
hubby's trousers, and It Is to be ex
pected that when a whole townful
of tho (l'-nr creatures go out after a
little thins like a city election they
wilt come lugging It hoini' In their
latulbags.
According to reports reaching the
i
Herald office there has not in years
been so much interest manifested; in
a municipal ticket in Heppner ! as
has been stirred up by the Women's
ticket which was announced by pos
ter Tuesday. Everybody is said to
be discussing the new departure in
city politics and the idea seems to
be meeting with favor. According
to our informant the following ex
pressions from prominent citizens
have been picked up around the
streets and loafing places:
Frank Gilliam is reported to have
said in discussing the matter: "I
really think they should have put
me on the ticket, but I'll support
it."
Will Spencer is quoted as saying
that while he is satisfied that he
would make a better councilman
than Beymer, he will vote for Bill
Eind do what he can to help him out.
Sam Van Vactor "My wife told
me to vote the tic'ket and I am
game."
W. W. Smead "I seem to be
running on the wrong ticket but I'll
vote right."
Dr. Winnard "I hurried home
from Eugene to help wlthi this cam
paign." W. S. Pruyne "I'll stay with the
women because they always stay
with me."
Dr. vaughan "I didn't want to
run but my wife "Mle me."
Mike Kenny ''falling to please
the ladies."
urea lash "I'm in the race to
win. Bet on me."

PLATFORM
A bigger and better Heppner.
Fill mudholes and lay crosswalks where needed
in Winter; eliminate dust so far as possible
in Summer.
Good roads to connect all parts of Morrow coun
ty and the interior with Heppner. Give the
people a chance to come here.
Clear the channel of Willow Creek. Make it
safe in flood time.
Heppner must have a hotel. Get busy and get
one.
Heppner needs a public comfort station within
reach of the business district. Provide one.
To make Heppner grow it must be made a"City
Beautiful." A city park, a swiming pool.
. clean streets, will help.
Always spend the people's money for the peo
ple's benefit.
Demand and require a dollar's worth of service
for every dollar's worth of salary.
Encourage flower planting and well kept lawns.
Make Heppner the "pahlia City" of Kaslern
Oregon.
Does Heppner want retired stockmen and farm
ers to make their homes and spend their
money in Heppner rather than in Portland
and the Willamette Valley?. .Then make
Heppner a desirable place to live. The
election of this ticket and the carrying out
of this platform will be the first step in that
direction.
Vote This Ticket. Vote 'er Straight

Rev. H. A. Noyes- and the directrs of

men who were taken sick In the Wil

Rev. Noyes is of the opinion that
no better use could be made of the
