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.

mother and other guests, and that
dancing and parties were held above
the cistern where Mrs. Young lay
entombed under several feet ot ce
ment. Girl Was Tricked
Facing her trying ordeal wltb a
grim, determined smile, the young
woman told how she was tricked by
Dr. Young so thoroughly that she
refuaed to believe he waa respon
sible for Mrs. Young's death, even
I after he had been arrested and
jaHcd
"He explained bis wife's long ab
sence so convincingly," ahe said,
that even after he had been Indict
ed I championed him."
