Next Tuesday is election day. Aa
the time draws near weathtr pros
pccts are bright in Morrow county,
and with greater interest manifest
than for many elections previous, th
closing of the polls should find the
largest vote ever cast. Good rains
the past week have gladdened th
hearts of the farmers, who, with fall
work well done, should be in the best
of humor for exercising their fran'
chise rights. Candidates and pro
ponents of measures have been busy
for several weeks, and the peak of
interest is expected on Tuesday,
Lending zest ot the United States
senatorial campaign, comes news of
tne investigation being conducted by
senator Charles L. McNary in Port
land of the charge that $35,000 was
contributed by Franklin T. Griffith
of the Portland Electric Power com
pany for support of the Steiwer pri-
mary campaign. Senator McNary is
conducting the investigation at the
behest of Senator Reed, chairman of
the senate committee on investiga
tions of campaign expenditures. The
stenographic reports in full of the in
stigation thus far, as printed in
th is morning's Oregonian, reveal
nothing but hearsay testimony, and
indicate that Senator Stanfield was
closely connected with all the slush
fund charges made agaisnt the Stei
wer campaign. What effect the out
come ot tne investigation, not ex
pected by Mr. Stanfield, according to
his testimony, to take place until af
ter election will have on the ballot

will have its effect on the race, how

but denials have been brought out so
far at the investigation of the charge

"bought" to support Steiwer. In this
race, besides Frederick Steiwer, re
publican nominee, and Senator Stan
field, independent candidate, are Bert
t,. Haney, democratic nominee, and
W. P. Adums, independent.
Other state and district office races
have been rather inconspicuous, due
to the senatorial scrap. Nominees
for representative in congress are N.
J. binnott, republican, and Jno. S
Hodgin, democrat.
For governor: I. L. Patterson, re
publican; Walter M. Fierce, democrat,
and H. 11. Stallard, independent.
For justices of the supreme court

republican and G. A. Van Schriltz,
democrat.
For commissioner of the public
service commission of Oregon: Louis

For senator 19th senatorial district:
Fred E. Kiddle, republican, and Hen

For representative, 22nd represent
ative district: Roy W. Ritner, re

ballot for county offices. G. A. Bleak

WORK PROGRESSING NICELY.

been greatly pleased with the fine
weather since the work was under

It has enabled him to move right

along and the building is now prac
will add much to the convenience and
utility of the church building, and
when comploted the Episcopals will

awarded to Albert L. Smith of Spo

road.
Commissioner G. A. Bleakman, who
attended the meeting at Portland,
states that the work of surfacing will
be started lust as Boon as possible
and will proceed aa rapidly as the
weather conditions will permit. The
bid of Mr. Smith was $68,207. His
confpany now has plenty of eauio

entire 18 miles from Lena to Vinson,

Improvements Added by
Star Theater This Week
As in all lines of business it
found necessary, in order to keep up
with progress, Manager Sigsbee of
the Star theater hag been - making
additions and betterments to his
movie house this week. He visited
Portland for the purpose of getting
new equipment during the past week
and this Having arrived is now
stalled. ,
The new equipment consists of two
Powers projectors, a new screen and
new electric sign that graces the front
of the building. The outlay for this
new equipment has been between
$2000 and $2500, but it was found
necessary if the theater was to be
kept up to date.
Mr. Sigsbee is looking forward to
making other improvements as time
goes on, as he is determined that the
atar will not be less attractive than
the theaters in many of the lareer
places.

State Republican Head
Forseei Success for
Ticket Tuesday.
ASKS ALLEGIANCE
Election of Democratic Senator Would
be Rebuff to Administration ; '
Battle Won Says Coolidge.
Portland, Ore Claims of a sweep
ing victory for the republican ticket
in the coming election were made
here today by Phil Metschan, chair
man of the republican state central
committee. He urged republicans of
the state to consolidate their forces
or.d support the administration. A
vote for the party nominees, he said,
was a vote cast in support of the
state's primary law.
The election of a democratic sen
ator from Oregon, he said, would not
only be a slap at the president and
the national administration but it
might give the democratic party the
sngnt majority needed to organize the
senate and thus deprive western re
publican senators of their dominant
positions in that body. He said:
The sovereign people of Oregon
will vote next Tuesday whether they
will uphold President Coolidge and
tne republican administration by giv
ing them a vote of confidence or thev
will turn their backs upon them and
tupport the party that has always
brought disaster to our national pros
perity and distress to our people
the -democratic party.
"They will vote to support the di-
lect primary law of the state or they
win, by their decision, regard it
merely as a scrap of paper. They will
iraintain it by voting for candidates
nominated in accord with the law, or
they will nullify it by following the
will o' the wisp of an independent
candidacy.
"Citizens of this state will vote to
maintain at the heads of the senate
committees those tried and true re
publicans of the west who know the
west and its problems, Smoot of Utah.

ballots they are willing for the west
to lose these influential friends and
to turn the senate over to control by
southern democrats.
"Voters of Oregon have an imDort-
ant decision before them next Tues
day. It is whether this strongly re
publican state shall be deluded bv
democratic propaganda and lose sub
stantial things while it grasps at
shadows.
"I have faith in the people of Ore-'
gon. i do not believe they will fail
a great president when he needs them

to split our representation in the

of the two seats to a democrat. I do
rot believe they will turn their
thumbs down on the primary law.

The matter of continuing work of

LOCALS DEFEATED
BY LEXINGTON IN
GRID CLASH, 6 TOO
Teams Meet Again Sunday at
Heppner, Strengthened by
New Material.
Heppner's town football huskies
went down to defeat in their initial
game' of the season with Lexington
last Sunday afternoon on the latter's
field, by a lone touchdown. The score
was 6-0.
The first half was scoreless though
botn sides threatened on occasions.
Lexington completed a pass, Gentry
to Lane, which took the ball to Heno
nre's goal line just as the gun scurri
ed. This pass netted the Wheat City
lads some 30 yards and was caueht
by Lane witn two Heppner men crowd
ing him. On catching the ball he
stumbled and fell, probably all that
prevented his scoring. i
Once in the first quarter through a
series of passes, bucks and end runs.
Heppner ran the ball to inside Lex
ington's five yard line for first down.
Allyn, Aiken and Adkms, backs, fea
turing. Four attempts were unsuc
cessfully made to budge the oppon-
?nt s line, however, and Lex took the
hall and punted out of danger. A
beautiful 40ard drop-kick by Allyn
toward the end of the first half, that
missed by inches, was probably the
closest Heppner came to scoring.
Lexington s touchdown came early
in the third quarter when Heppner
lost tne Dan in her own territory
after receiving the kick-off. Rush
Wright made the touchdown from the
one yard line to which point the ball
had been carried by a comDleted nass
and a series of bucks.
The game from then on was nin
and tuck, though Heppner showed a
burst of brilliance near the end of
the game which netted her more than
40 yards, before the ball was lost on
an intercepted pass. In this attack
Aiken, Allyn and Adkins carried the
ball for two first downs, and a com
pleted pass, Aiken tc Moore, netted
another.
Lexington's lineup: Gentry. Quar
ter, Wright full, Parker and White
nlfbacks, Miller and Lane ends. Mc
Millan, Helms, Carmichael, tackles,
liaui'.ian, Morey and Dinees zuards.
Slocum center.
Heppner's lineup: Cason Quarter.
Aiken full, Allyn and Adkins, half
backs, C. Moore, R. Moore. Doherty
and Bucknum ends, Hottman and
Howell tackles, Biiseick, Smith and
Baldwin guards, McDuffee and Doher
ty centers.
Next Sunday afternoon Heppner
and Lexington will clash again, this
time on Heppner's field. Both teams
are being augmented by additional
players, and the game promises to be
a "humdinger." New material report
ing to Manager Aiken of Heppner this
week includes LaDusire, H. Anderson,
Lieuallen, F. Hoskins, W. Hoskins,
irawtord, Becket and Stout.

City Election Occurs
Next Tuesday Also
The general public of Heppner, in
the excitement incident to the gen
eral state election, have perhaps
overlooked the fact that Heppner will
on Tuesday, November 2nd, choose a
mayor and councilmen. The retiring
mayor, E. G. Noble, was prevailed
upon to enter the race again when it
became apparent that no one else was
seeking the place, and the time for
filing had just about expired. Mr.
Noble felt that he had done his full
duty by the city, serving as mayor
for two terms and desired to be re
lieved of the responsibility. The full
ticket contains the names of E. G.
Noble for mayor, Claude Cox, Jeff
Jones and C. L. Sweek, councilmen,
E. R. Huston, recorder, and W. O. Dix,
treasurer.
The councilmen, like the mayor,
have also been serving the city for
the past four years, and Mr. Dix has
been the city treasurer during the I
past term. Mr. Huston was recently
appointed to the place of recorder
upon the resignation of Earl Gordon.
So far, no opposing candidates have
been mentioned.
Adds Another Ranch
To Present Holdings
Jerm O'Conner, sheepman of Skin
ner creek, has added to his land hold
ings by the purchase this week of the
Stanfield ranch of 5600 acres on Rhea
creek. This ranch formerly belonged
w Laie remand and for a number of
years past was in possession of the
Stanfield brothers and more recently
r, cnarge oi Billy remand.
By adding of this ranch tn bia
holdings, Mr. O'Conner will be able
to care for his two bands of sheep in
good shape, and should he desire can
add another band, also. There is con
siderable good hay land on the nlaee
which he will develop, and it is bo
situated that it will furnish both
spring and fall range for his sheep
when on the way to and returning
from his allotment in the forest. Mr.
O'Conner is one of the successful
young sheepmen of the county.
Carload Classy Fords
Arrives at Heppner
The new model Fords look mio-htv
foxy in their bright baked enamel
coatings of bright blue-, tan, gray and
oiacic, and the carload received by the
Latourell Auto company this week
brought a broad smile to Manager
nas. ri. atourell's face. Wide at
tention locally is being drawn to the
new rords which have other good im
provements besides the fine Daint inh
One very notable improvement, says
mr. Latourell, is the addition of the
Hot Spot Holley vaporizer, which
heats the gas as it goes from the car-
uureior 10 me cylinders giving
smootner acceleration, more pep and
more power. And the best part of it
is, the manager believes, prices re
main exactly the same as formerly,
the car with all improvements having
raised not a single cent.

SLACKERS!
The town is full of slackersl There
are plenty of the patriotic variety
ior tnat matter, for what else shall
we say of the citizen without enough
patriotism to vote for the betterment
of his community and state. But
there is another kind of slacker even
more prevalent and that is the re
ligious slacker. He is the one who
sends his children to the church some
one else built but who never rendu
his Bible or goes to church himself.
He is the one who knows his dutv to
God and his fellow men but lets his
selhsh notions stand between him and
his duty. Without further descrip
tion let's just say he is the religious
slacker. If you who read this are
one of these who shirk duty it is not
likely that you will be at the Church
of Christ Sunday evening to hear the
sermon entitled, "Eventually, Why
Not Now?" .
There will be a young folks choir

so hard to take. All other services as

a day, arid heaven knows how many

Earthquakes, winds, volcanos, hur

we raise our families, deal in real es

down whiskey and a worse drink, sake.
Soon he was unconscious and in a few
hours, dead.
Let us remember, for our good, that
what Mr. Kitazawa did in a few hours,
nine-tenths of us do in about half

colored cotton pickers in America will
not be able to compete with cotton
grown in Africa, picked by native
Africans.
The solution might be found in cot

be possible to harvest a field by pass
ing a "vacuum" cleaner above the crop
at certain intervals. One small air

And it is important for a great city

LEXINGTON HI NEWS,
The footall game with lone Satur
day resulted in a score of 7-6 in our
favor. The players were quite evenly
matched, making the game very excit

out to see the game and were well
pleased. We are hoping the game
next Saturday with Arlington will be
as successful.
The ladies of the town are organis
ing a basketball team. Several match
games will take place later on in the
season between the high school girls
and the women.
A special attraction was offered in
assembly Monday morning when Elmo
Nolan, James Leach and Buster Gen

whiskers and corncob pipes sang sev
