Carter added that, while he himself
may not have time to circulate

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

Ward No. 2, who was reported to
be Interested In Ihe move for an
election, waa out of the city yes

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

he has remained silent as to wheth

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
