Dr. Carter added that, while he himself may not have time to circulate petition demanding a special elec tion, be will be behind any auch move. Many Behind Move C. H. Daggett, another prominent resident of the second ward, ex pressed himself along similar lines. Although he pointed out that, with his many other duties, he will not bave time to circulate a petition demanding an election, at tbe same time he will be actively Interested in any move which will bave tor Its purpose the securing of representa tion In the council from tbe ward of which h Is a resident. H. N. Moe, another resident of Ward No. 2, who was reported to be Interested In Ihe move for an election, waa 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 he would be unable to do any active work toward securing a ballot on the question. A. J. Lyle, manager of the Klamath General hospital has been frequently mentioned as a possible candidate. As yet be 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 his candidacy. Slid Ward Wants It The problem regarding the rep resentation of the second ward pre sented Itself to' the council lant Mnnri, ATpnlnr Several weeks ago Merle S. West, councilman was nnuer control except at one from the eecond ward, tendered his i small point. resignation with no comment.

At the present time It appears that. It the second ward wishes to have a voice among the aldermen, It must formally present a petition demanding a special election, the cost of which will be approximately 500. The general attitude of the coun cil.' at Its last session, seemed to be to the effect that. If the- sec ond ward wishes to be represented It will take enough Interest to petition the council for a special ballot.

Step-Son Against Dad A boy who once lovingly stroked tbe hair of Dr Young, will be used by tbe state Tuesday to weave to gether the strands of the gallows rope, when young Charles Patrick Grogan takes the stand against his step-father. This boy,' son of Mrs. Young by a previous marriage, and heir to a million dollar estate, left by tbe late "Ripe Olive" Orogan, was to have been the next victim, according to the state.

Young Orogan at a coroner's autopsy, said he was hurried to the Young cabin at Bev erly Glen and then asked to help in making a concrete base for the new ly built cistern. After he had poured a wheel barrow full in the hole, he said, his step-father laughed so that it fright ened him.
