Needless Defeat.
The official count in the May pri
mary nominating election completed
Wednesday by the County Clerk’s
office force leaves R. C. Todd, can
didate for county commissioner from
Hermiston, 26 votes behind his
leading opponent, W. A. Gilliam.
Four-hundred and eighty-six reg
istrations were recorded on the east
side alone in Hermiston and only
318 of those voters cast a ballot at
the polls Friday. It would have tak
en only 27 of those ballots cast in
favor of Mr. Todd to have insured
bis winning the
commissioner’s
race. It is too late now to say what |
should have been done, but voters
had been urged by this paper and
through other sources, to cast their
vote at the polls in the May pri- |
maries. We now have a candidate 1
for county commissioner in the fall
election from Pilot Rock district
and a candidate for county judge |
from Milton-Freewater, and the
west end of the county remains as
before, without a representative in
the county court. The situation has
simply been altered in positions.

more votes in Pendleton than he
did in the east end of the county.
The question is, will the race in the
fall general election be a certainty?
The defeat of Mr. Todd for coun
ty commissioner was so needless
when sufficient votes could have
been cast in Hermiston alone to
have put him over the top.

The Golden Text was, "Know ye

Among the citations which com

Tho Lesson-Sermon also included
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, “Sci

Scriptures”, by Mary Baker Eddy:
“The Science of being reveals man
as perfect, even us the Father is
perfect, because the Soul, or Mind,
of the spiritual man is God, the
