Turn Scores Want Recognition!. In City Council; Many Possible Candidates Ready To Come Out , Not for long Is the iiccond ward to be unrepreaented In the Klamath Falla city council- Residents of the district, aroused following the council's retuaal to hold, voluntarily, a special ejection at which to select an alderman, yesterday declared that they will go before the city fathers and de mand that their district hare a voice ln the city's affairs. Mystery surrounds the Identity of the Individual who will step up and declare himself a candidate. Sev eral persona have been mentioned by those interested In the politics ot the second ward, but no name has been put forth publicly. Action Underway "There are no petty politics gov erning my actions, oui i ieei mai our aistrict snouia nave a voice in back any move to see that we get representation," declared Pr, J. H.I Carter, dentist, whose home is in tho second ward. "I believe that every public-spirited cltlien of the!youn8 "on""- ' he made by the district ln which I live will be aelense ln " "emPl lo VT ane willing to go down the line to ee,, incompetent to testify against the that we have a councilman." Dr.J" aiayer. Carter added that, while he himself may not have time to circulate a' petition demanding special elec-1 lion-, he will be behind any such , move. Many Behind Move C. H. Daggett, another prominent resident ot the second ward, ex pressed himself along similar Unea. Although he pointed out that, with hia many other duties, he will not have time to circulate a petition demanding an election, at the samo time he will be actively interested in any move which will have for Its purpose the securing of representa- tion in the council from the ward . of which he is a realdent. II. N. Moe. another resident oi Ward No. 2, who was reported toj be Interested In tho ' move for an election, was out of the city yes terday. Many Possible Candidates O. L. Carter, of the second ward, said that it was possible he may be a candidate for councilman from his district, but added that ho would be unable to do any active work towatd securing a ballot on the question. A. J. Lyle, manager ot the Klamath General hospital has been frequently mentioned aa a possible candidate. Aa yet he has not thrown his hat In the ring, however. Roland Wright Is another possi ble candidate. To date,, however, he has remained silent as to wheth er would announce hla candidacy. Slid Ward Wants It The problem regarding the rep resentation of the second ward pre sented Itself to the council last Monday evening. Several weoka ago Merle . west, councilman from the second ward, tendered hia .resignation with no comment. At the last meeting of the aldermen. H waa suggested that a special elec tion, as provided by the city char ter, be held, but a motion to that effect received- no second and died a natural death. At the present time It appears that, It the second ward wishes to have a voire among the aldermen, It muat formally present a petition demanding a special election, the cost ot which will be approximately J500. The general attitude of the coun ell, at Its last session, seemed to be to the effect that, if1 tbe sec ond ward wlahea to be represented It will take enough Interest to petition the council for a special ballot.

A grilling cross-examination of the Step-Son Againat Dad A boy who once lovingly stroked the hair of Dr. Young, .-will be used by the state Tuesday to weave to- gether the strands ot the gallows rope, when young Charles Patrick Grogan takes the stand againat hla step-father.
