No denial has been forthcoming, however, as to his being a candidate. Others are mentioned in political discussion, but no definite steps have been taken.
The council will designate the polling places and election officials before March 14, as required by law, and this means there are but two meeting nights for them to complete this detail.

E. Kate Rea, Earl Jackson, J. W. Millings, H. B. Pearson, Ray Van Wagoner, Earl E. Smith, E. O. Dubois, William P. Webb and Victor S. Lolly.

W. L. Bigham, H. B. Pearson, Lotus H. Louden, V. W. Koehler, Oscar Renner, H. S. Arnold, E. C. Kendrick, R. L. Roalty.

And Now Comes Just A Box Of Candy
Here's one of the good samarian stories of the week. There are two young men, shall we call them Jack and Charley, just to give them a name?
Last week Jack obtained considerable well comment for his pal and co-worker Charley and this week Charley is proving that he believes in returning good for evil so . . .
Jack has a lady friend who inadvertently had a birthday last week. . .
Charley, still disputing the fact that he is a benedict heard that Jack was in need of a birthday present so he expends 30 cents (borrowed form Jack) on a candy punch board and believe it or not . . .
Not having a sweet tooth, Charley passed the winnings on to his co-worker, who in turn made good on the birthday.
Now, wasn't that christian-like? Just pals, that's all.

Storm In East Keeps Visitor Here
J. J. Haas, of Grant City, Mo., is a visitor at the home of friends in Anaheim. He came to the office of the Gazette Tuesday and stated he had a perplexing problem.
Mr. Haas' home is in the center of the zero and sub-zero territory in the Mississippi valley as well as the center of the district which has, through the columns of the newspapers, been much in evidence due to the excessive snowstorms that have beset the residents with much suffering.
In a letter received from a nephew on Tuesday, the younger man stated there was a choice of shoveling snow, which during the month of January fell to the extent of 40 inches and the same ratio so far in February, with the worst blizzard in the country's history occurring on February 8, or

Following the musical program, Mel Gauer spoke briefly upon the theme of loose thinking by the average American citizen." Go back and read your history," he admonished the members of the club."Cloyd Hartranft, last week, told us that he believed Lincoln to be greater than Washington, I do not subscribe to that. I believe they are equally great. Remember, Washington planned this great country of ours; he brought upon the face of this continent this nation; he gave unstintingly of his time and money as well as effort. He was chairman of the Constitutional Congress and he was our first president. Read his life and then you'll find out what real Americans are. You'll find yourself a better American.
"We need, in this country, right now, a definite program of Americanism, and if Americans will read the Life of Washington they'll find themselves better Americans."
Rev. M. C. Schollenberger of the Church of Christ (Christian) was inducted into the club as a new member by Cloyd Hartranft.

Members of the Townsend Clubs who have registered or are planning on registering are warned not to register under the "Townsend Party" by the officers of the local clubs. The following warning was issued by the local club officials:
The officers of the Townsend clubs wish to correct a mistaken idea with reference to registrations of voters in California. It seems that some Townsendites are registering under a third or Townsend party preference.
Since no Townsend party will be formed before the primaries, Dr. Townsend requests that all persons register under their regular party affiliation as republicans or democrats, etc. Otherwise they will lose their votes at the primaries.
If anyone has registered under the Townsend party let him be sure to re-register before March 5 so that he will be qualified to vote at both primary and general elections.
