The Gazette-Times PUBLISHED WEEKLY AND DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF MORROW COUNTY Volume 41, Number 32. HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOV. 6, 1924. Subscription 52.00 Per Year G.O.P.TicketWins State and Nation Coolidge and Dawes Carry Twenty-Nine States With Others Doubtful; Davis Second and LaFollette Third. McNARY, KAY, SINNOTT, HOLDING LEAD Incomplete Returns Give to Coolidge 327 Electoral Votes, Davis 139, LaFollette 13, Doubtful, 52; On . County Ticket Benge, McDuffee, Anderson, Walk er, Davidson, Bleakman and Case Win. What appears at this time to be a land slide for the republican na tional ticket, is indicated from all the returns available as this paper goes to press. Coolideg and Dawes have received the endorsement of the solid north, and a number of border states are in the balance with indications that they will also fall in line and add their electoral votes to the assured 320 that the G. 0. P. ticket now has. States that were considered by the political dopsters to be doubtful beforfc the battle of ballots on Tuesday have gone to President Coolidge and his running mate strong, and the final count may show that they have received even as large vote as that cast for Harding and Coolidge in 1920, the most notable landslide in the history of American elections. It ) gratifying to republicns to have Oregon line up for the national, itate and district tickets eo strongly. While we have no late figures on the situation in the state that are def inite, the present indications point to a plurality of between 90,000 and 100,000 for Coolidge. Republican congressmen and senator are elected and the rest of the state ticket goes over strong, including Thos. Kay for state treasurer, who is reported to have defeated Jefferson Myers by a two-to-one vote. This was exactly the vote in favor of Kay in Morrow county, Pacific coast states have gone to Coolidge, though the vote in Wash ington was counted for LaFollette for a time, and the election there was close. California is leading for the republican national ticket strong, probably 150,000 or better, and Idaho also lined up, electing the republican candidates and returning Senator ' Borah, as well as choosing a repub lican governor. Washington also elected a republican governor. Mr LaFollette has apparently car ried two states only, his home state Is 11 1 ' . .: COMING CARLOAD OF POTATOES will arrive this week. $1 .65 per 100 in 5-sack lots $ 1 .75 per 1 00 in less than 5-sack lots These prices are f. o. b. car at Heppner RUSH YOUR ORDER AS THEY ARE GOING FAST. Cash & Carry Grocery of Wisconsin by a small plurality, and North Dakota, though there seems to be some doubt yet about the latter state. Mr. Davis has the solid south, with a few of the border states still in doubt. He was a poor third in both Oregon and California. As doped out now, Mr. Coolidge will have around 320 votes in the electoral college, Mr. Davis 139, Mr. LaFoilette 18, doubtful, Kentucky, Minnesota. Missouri, and Montana, a total of -7 votes, and it is figured that three of these states will give their electoral vote to Coolidge. In the atate, the fight for office seemed to have centered largely around state treasurer. Governor Pierce was determined, if possible, to put across the election of his ap pointee, Jefferson Myers, and the en tire machinery of his office was used to that end in a bitter fight against Thos, Kay, the republican nominee. The result of the election would ap pear to be a strong rebuke to the governor and the tactics that he used rather than the mere defeat of Mr. Myers, who was acknowledged to be broadcasting to all the World this season Come!

' " Patron-Teacher Meeting Wednesday, Nov. 12th Owing to the fact that the next regular meeting of the Patron-Teachers association falls on Armistice Day, the organization will meet on the day following, Wednesday, Nov. 12, at the regular hour, 8:00 o'clock p. m., at the auditorium In the high school building. At this meeting Mrs. Carl Glllilan has a wonderful message to give ev ery parent in the town and the asso ciation urges that everyone who pos sibly can, be present to hear her. The program to be offered is -an follows: , . Piano solo Virginia Dfx Fifth grade number Mrs. Finch's room Vocal solo ..Mrs. Ray Taylor Educational discourse Mrs. Carl Gillilan Parents are invited in all these meetings to see the educational dis plays of the children in all the rooms. STOP, LOOK, LISTEN ! The Willing Workers of Christian church wlil hold bazaar, cooked food and candy sale, Wednesday, December 10th, from two till nine, in church basement.

The get-together meeting- of the Masonic lodges of Arlington, lone and Heppner will be held at the Masonic hall in Heppner, Monday, November 10th, at 8:00 o'clock. The Arlington lodge will confer the M.M. degree. All members of the organization are invited to attend. a competent man for the place. Mr. Kay was strong in the state, however, and there is no doubt but that he would have wn easily in any event. In the Becond district the re-election of Nick Sinnott to congress was never in doubt, and while we have no fig ures at this time on the result, word received from The Dalles is to the effect that he has won by a larger vote than ever against his only op ponent James Harvey Graham of Ba ker county To the people of Morrow county the re-election of Senator Mc- Nary is also gratifying. Both Mc Nary and Sinnott rn strong here. While President Coolidge has car ried New York state strong, the re-; election of Governor Al Smith aeems assured, though for a time it ap peared that XeoMy Roosevelt would be carried through by the Coolidge landslide. . In the local state campaign, much interest centered about several meas ures on the ballot. Chief of these was the repeal of the present income tax law. Advice from Portland to day indicate that the vote is very close and may require the official count to decide. The measure carried in Morrow county and it is stated that it went over in Multnomah coun ty by something like 26,000, but the up-state vote has apparently cut this down. We are not advised as to the other measures. County Clerk Anderson states that the returns from the various pre cincts of the county reached his of fice more promptly this election than heretofore, and they were all in by noon on Wednesday. While the of ficial canvas has not yet been made, the figures in total for each office and measure follow.

The big Legion Merchandise Carni val which will be held at the fair pavilion next Tuesday evening, No vember 11th, will be one of the big events of the fall season in Hepp ner. Plans' for the big Armistice night celebration are now about com pleted and the boys promise a fine time for the large crowd which will be in attendance. The prizes for the many games and articles to be raffled off are now on display at Phelps Grocery company, and include a great variety of useful merchandise It was not possible to put all the merchandise in the dis play but enough is show to give an idea of the quality of prizes of fered. A number of names have been entered in the cake baking contest and there is yet room for more. One lady, a cook of renown in her part of the county, has promised to enter cake weighing eleven pounds. From present indications the cake auction will be one of the most interesting features on the program. The $10 cash prize is proving attractive to the cooks and it is expected there will be at least fifteen cakes to be dis posed of in the auction. For the dance following the carni val, the legion boys have secured the best of music, bringing a four-piece orchestra from Portland, and - this part of the evening'B entertainment ill be popular. Those having the carnival in charge stress the fact that there will be amusement for all, men and women, boys and girls, young and old, and that the entertainment will be ab solutely clean and free from any ob jectionable features .

All the bankers of this city and Mr. Miller, secretary of the State Bankers' Association, visited the high school last Thursday. Mr. Mil ler gave a talk on "An Introduction to Money and Banking. This was a very interesting talk which told a great deal about money, the different kinds, and how it came into existence. The process thru yrhich some of it goes would never be thought of by the people handling it. Mr. Miller said that he might be able to be back again.

A race horse called Chilhowee has broken the world's galloping record, covering a mile and one-eighth in one minute 48 4-5 seconds. That would have been of importance once now it's a mere incident in a gambling sport. Paul Revere to-day would ride in a small automobile, blowing his horn as he went with the cut-out wide open. Or he would fly close to the ground in his little monoplane, or would stay at home and wake the country side through the "loud speaker" in ever? house. The running speed of a horse is as unimportant today as the flying speed of a falcon that also was im portant once.

Great Britain takes woman suf rage more seriously than it is taken hre, where we allow them to vote, but apparently, don't think much of them in public office. Forty-one women are candidates for Parliament in this election. They include "noble women," with assorted titles, one lady formerly a domestic servant, and one stenographer. What ever you think about the British, you must admit that they possess a gen uine brand of democracy. The "Full Dinner Pail" is oldfash- ioned. The "Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks," etc., say they don't care so much about whiLe col lars for themselves, but they must have silk stockings for their wives. President E. R. Fitzgerald says that women feel inferior when not well dressed, and every workman's wife should have, three pairs of silk stockings a year. So she should, and the railroads will probably arrange it rather than have a strike. You can get very good silk stock ings for 42 a pair, so that would only amount to an incrtfle of 2 cents a day in wagos. The interesting thing is thnt the workmen ore now worrying about their wives' happiness, rather than about themselves. TKat'i spiritual progress.
