THE CITY ELECTION
Reedsport, which has recently
been incorporated and will from
now on be known as a town under
municipal government, heldits first
city election on Monday, July 21st,
1919, electing a mayor, six council-
men, a recorder, a treasurer and a
marshal.
Considerable interest was taken
by the citizens of the place in the
election of councilmen and marshal,
two tickets being in the field. The
regular ticket, which carried by a
vote of about two to one, was placed
before the public at a mass meeting
held a week before the day of elec-
tion, at which a mayor, 11 councilmen,
three for recorder, three for
treasurer and two for marshal were
nominated, to be chosen from by
the voters on the day of election.
This, apparently, did not satisfy Ui
ffjw wluj secretly met and made uiii
a complete ticket for each office,
calling themselves a "citizens'-com-'
mittce" for ihc avowed purpose as
stated in posters quietly and secret
ly dintri'jiifefl during the night be
fore election or early in the morn
ing of that day, in which the "citizens'
committee*' stated that they
were considering the "moral" and
,the "financial" welfare of Reeds'-
port. The result was that the
hathcrs oi" this ticket were beaten atj
the election over two to one, which;
jM-oves that "star chamber" proceed-!
Ings of would-be politicians, even in
the government of as small a town
as Reedsport, is not popular, and
the great majority of the citizens
last Monday at the polls declared by
their ballots that those chosen to
administer the affairs of the town
in its infancy are the ones to trust
to take care of the town's financial
iilfair.'?, its morals, and c.stabli.«?Ii n
good, .s'tnblo government. Now that!
tho election is over all good- citizens!
should put their shoulders to the
wheel and assist the newly elected
officers in the duties which liiny
have assumed.
