Mayor Sure Unity Within Reach of City

Springfield's new mayor elect, David Scofield, said Wednesday he is more sure than ever that a unified Springfield is not out of reach.

Scofield, 41, who roundly trounced his two opponents, B.J. Rogers and Floyd Emerson, pointed out that in what campaigning he did, he attempted to draw the factions within the city together.

Currently president and in his sixth year on the city council, Scofield collected 4,279 votes to Rogers 2,331 and Emerson's 1,073. He captured the most votes in every one of the city's 31 precincts.

Scofield, the father of seven, lives at 665 City View. A registered pharmacist, he owns Dave's Pharmacy and Centennial Pharmacy. He was reared in Tillamook and studied at ORegon State University. He has been in Springfield since 1952.

Joining Scofield in the victory corner were one incumbent, L.H. Wojcik, ward 5, and two newcomers to city government, John McCulley in ward 4 and Darwin Courtright, Ward 6.

The mayor elect said he apprreciated the confidence shown by the voters in the overwhelming victory. He interprreted the balloting as a reaffirmation that his acts on the council in the last six years had been in the public interest.

Wojcik received 4,534 votes to 2,531 for his opponent, Bill Henderson. McCulley had the narrowest margin of vitory, beating John Pryor 3,594 to 3,282, while Courtright garnered the most votes, 5,128 to 2,093.
