lO THE MOKJiIXG OKEGO.MAX, SATURDAY. JTJTOS 1, 1W7. DEVLIN ANSWERS MONTAGUE LETTER Republican Candidate Makes Replies to Queries of Dem ocratic Chairman. FINAL EAST SIDE RALLY Democrat's Campaign, Says Mr. Dev lin, One of Personal Abuse, of Criticism and of Assumed Self-Righteousness. Thomas C. Devlin, Republican candidate for Mayor, for the first time since he en tered the campaign for Mayor, dropped his campaigA of education last night just long enough to answer some of the at tacks which have been made upon him by K. W. Montague, chairman of Lane's cam paign committee, by Mayor Harry Lane and by a number of Democratic speakers who have taken part In the campaign. Devlin's answer was made at the last of the East Side Republican rallies, which was held at Ringler's Hall, East Morrison street and Grand avenue. Devlin first an swered the five questions that Chairman Montague had fired at him through the public press. Then he told the audience present of the 110 city ordinances that Mayor Lane had refused to sign or veto. J. EX. Werlein, candidate for City Treas urer, presided at the meeting, and he promised those present that they would hear something worth while. He told a story that had for Its climax something about "liars and he said that when Dev lin go through he was sure his audience would be convinced that those who had been vilifying Devlin were "liars." Mrs. Fred L. Olson was the soloist. Mr. Devlin apologized for descending to what he characterized the "lower political plane" followed by his Democratic breth ren, and said: I began this campaign with a view of making It educational. I believed that the Issues were Important enough to merit It. I hoped that the opposition would adopt a similar policy, and that Instead of dis cussing personalities, r criticising the pres ent or former administration, or by wilful endeavor, seeking to besmirch the character of opponents, they would take up the con structive policy of government and discuss the needs of this city, wherein and how improvements may be made in the public service, charter amendments, new laws, the Increase In the public debt and what It means In Increased taxation and if those measures as proposed are founded on well established economic principles. But the Te.mocracy has not seen fit to do so. They have preferred to work on the lower polit ical plane. Their campaign has been one of personal abuse, of criticism, of assumed self -righteousness and of a series of ques tions which have no bearing upon the gov ernment of this city. 1 have thought It best to ignore such a line of campaign work until some of my friends urged me to reply . I shall there fore take occasion at this time to answer the last series of questions from Mr. Mon tague, chairman of the Democratic cam palgn. His first question 1 as follows: "Do you believe that the public ought ever to per mit crime and vice to flourish under protec tion for the sake of a part of the plunder wrung by the criminals from their victims? If not, when did you become of that opin ion?" My answer is. No; I do not believe that the public should ever permit crime and vice to flourish for a part of the plunder wrung by the criminals from their victims. I have never believed that such was right. The gentleman doubtless refers to the tines collected from gambling in the city, a policy which I always opposed, and if Mr. Mon tague end his associates were to search as diligently for the light and truth as they do to And a busis for misrepresentation they would not read Into a statement that which it does not contain. Never Condoned Gambling "Wrong. He and his people have taken my state ment of the condition of city funds, state ments showing what could be done if certain money came to the city and what could not be done if it did not, and they have inter preted into euch statements what they de sired, when in fact there was never a word written or spoken by me that by any fair person could be taken as condoning or ap proving the gambling wrong. I not only op pose such a policy, but I want to go further and say that I oppose even more strenuously the policy of permitting men wearing; the badges of officers and clothed with the full authority of the law to collect regular weekly sums as the price of "protection" from the fallen women whose living is the price of their sin. This is done now. Neither Dr. Lane nor any apologist for him will deny that the special police north of Burnside street collect a part of their wages from the prostitutes within that dis trict. Is Portland now too poor to pay for the needful protection to those un - fcrtunates? Will Mr. Montague, in a spasm of rlRhteouanesH, answer, why is this per mitted? Do you. Mr. Montague, know the "Red Light district" to be as Senator Gearln described it: "That plague-spot on the current of life where hopeless beings float like black shapes on eddying tides of vice; that home of the vagrant, the big mitt man; that haunt of those nameless parasites who fatten off the wages of shame" and "where dives and dens are filled with drink-sodden wrecks of humanity"? These are the words of your own people. This Is a description of present conditions by your most eloquent Democrat, and, if it Is true, why is such permitted ? Do you remember the long list of heinous crimes committed In this city during the past year, and which have gone into our criminal history without arrest or punishment of offenders? Is It not probable that those criminals are within the district so graph ically described ? Will you explain why the Mayor. In full control of the police, has not remedied conditions in this city ? I want to say to you and to the people of Portland that. If the distinguished attorney for the corporate interests of Portland and ex-Democratic I'nlted Mates Senator, John M. Oearin, has accurately described the North End. that, if I am elected, there will be such a change there In 60 days that Mr. Gearln will not recognise the place, and be will have to revise his English In de scribing It. Who Abolished Boxes in. Saloons? Will Mr. Montague expend some of his time in explaining to the people of Port land when Mr. M. L. Pipes, that eloquent eulogist for the present administration, set his face against vice? The ordinance pro hibiting boxes in saloons and restaurants was passed under the administration of Judge Williams and was signed by him. Its validity was fought in the most aggres sive manner through all the courts, includ ing the Supreme Court. There was plenty of money raised by the restaurants and saloons, and Mr. M. L. Pipes was the lead ing attorney for them at .all times. His brief in the case is of record and would make interesting reading now. Mr. Montague's econd question was as follows: "Do you believe that the manner in which money is gathered and spent to secure the election of candidates for public office is any part of the publtc'a business? If o. are you willing to join with other candidates in publishing your account at the primaries and In the present campaign?' No money used in a campaign should come from improper sources, and none should be spent for illegitimate purposes. If there is such virtue in the publication of such ac counts; would It detract any from your self righteousne8 to publish your accounts if I did not publish mine? I have expected to see dally statements of receipts and disburse ments from you In the public press, but thus far I have not. I do not believe that you would receive any "tainted money,"' Mr. Montague, nor that you would spend your campaign fund to corrupt the voters of this city. Speaking for myself. I will my that I personally conducted my campaign in the pri maries and I have repeatedly stated that I received no part of my expenses from public service or other similar corporations, and In order that there may be no doubt about it, I am willing to submit a detailed statement thereof with any committee of good citizens or with the Circuit Judges of Multnomah County, with the request that they examine the same carefully and ma ire such report thereon as they may deem of interest to the public. With reference to the campaign since the primaries It is a matter I have nothing to do with. Judge W. M. Cake, chairman of the Republican central committee, is conducting the same as Mr. Montague is for the Demo crats. Each has hs organization or "ma chine" elected by the people, provided for by law, and I have every reason to believe that each party will g-et what money it can from legitimate sources, and expend it as judi ciously as they know how. This answers questions 2 and 3. Question No. 4 is as fol lows: "Do you believe that National politics are out of place In a purely municipal campaign and that bringing them In there tends to in jure the city's welfare? If not, why? And when did you come to that conclusion?" National and Local Politics. National politics have no pU.ce in munici pal politics, but It would seem that the Democracy is putting municipal politics Into National po lit lea pretty largely. An ex Unlted Stated Democratic Senator is exceed ingly active, A Democratic Governor Is active and on the stump. A Democratic Dis trict Attorney is on the stump for the Demo cratic candidate. The Democratic newspaper, the .organ of plutocracy and corporate wealth, is active. That great Democratic spider has reached out Its tentacles and grasped every Important office in state, county and city where there Is patronage to feed upon and strengthen the Democratic ranks. Dr. Lane has been decidedly a Democratic Mayor. Mr. Montague's fifth question was as fol lows: "Do you consider the removal of the old detective staff by Dr. Lane an unwise and Injurious act, and if so, do you propose to reinstate these men, or any of them. If, elected?" I am not prepared to say whether the old detective force was competent or Incompetent, but It must be clear to every citizen that the manner of their removal was unwise and In jurious, for the following reasons: After the removal of those men in a most Informal manner and contrary to the rules of the charter, Frank J. Snow, one of the discharged detectives, commenced suit against the Executive Board, asking for a writ of review of the action of the Board in discharg ing him without written charges such as the charter provides for. Detectives Will Get Judgment. The Court decided in favor of the plaintiff upon motion of the defendants to quash the writ. Snow's position was similar to all the other discharged detectives excepting Vaughn, who at the time applied to the Civil Service Commission. The Executive Board has not compiled in the matter of reinstating the de tectives unlawfully discharged and written charges have never been preferred or filed against any one of them. The matter has rested In this form without any action being taken and It Is admitted by the most capa ble attorneys in this city that the discharged detectives will obtain Judgment against the city for their pay from the time that they were dismissed until the present. I do claim that the procedure la contrary to law, as has been decided by the Court, and that Mayor Lane and his Executive Board In the manner of their dismissal of these men have acted unwisely and injuriously to the city, and that they should be either rein stated and made to earn their salaries if they are capable, and if they are not, written charges should be preferred against them, and they should be discharged in the regular way and the city should be relieved from all obligations for payment of salaries to those men when they render no jusht return to the city therefor. According to the decision of the Court and the advice of competent attorneys in this matter, those men are reinstated now and entitled to their pay, and they will either be removed or compelled to earn their salaries in the event of my election. I have made no promises for appointments to any positions in the public service during this campaign or prior to this time and I shall not do so until after I am elected and qualified for the office of Mayor of this city. The others who spoke were: G. C. Mo ser. George B. Cellars, M. J. Driscoll, P. S. Bennett and Waldemar Seaton. On the stage were: Whitney 1. Boise, Council men George L. Baker, A. N. Wills, A. G. Rushlight and a number of others. LANE'S RECORD IS STILL THE ISSUE John M. Gearin So Declares in Speech to East Side Voters. NO PLACE FOR PARTISAN Boilermakers Indorse King. The candidacy of Fred C. King, a mem ber of the Boilermakers Union, for Councilman from the Fourth Ward, was enthusiastically indorsed by organized labor at a meeting of the Federated Trades Council last night.

Kegardfnff an article In this morning's (Dra conian under the headline, "Parents . Are Angry' I wish to correct an erroneous im pression of Dr. C. H. Wheeler, Health Olti cer. The parents of the pupils of this school have a grievance in the presence of dtph theirla in their community, but in my opln Ion the Health Office is not to blame for it. The teachers have taken every precaution to prevent contagion. All pupils with symptoms of illness of any kind have been promptly sent home and instructed to bring a certificate of health on their return. The rumor of every case of meningitis and diph theria has been reported to Dr. Wheeler, and by him Investigated. He has never re fused a request to inspect or disinfect the school building. In short, during the 11 years of my prlnclpaUhip here, no health officer has been more prompt or efficient in the discharge of his duties. While I thank your reporter for the ac curacy with which he quoted me, it is but Just to remark also, that the School Board has full knowledge of the condition of the building, and that the plumbing will be made good as soon as possible. There is probably no safer place for the children of Sunnyslde than in the school. Those at home take more risks by visiting and running on errands. I regret the neces sity of the article mentioned, as an item of news Its effect thus far has heen to create a panic among the patrons of the school and break up several classes that need to Improve all the time that remains of the school year.

An audience of fully 600 persons greeted Mayor Lane and John M. Gearln last night at iBurkhard Hall on the East Side. The Mayor was given an ovation and cheered from the opening to the close of the meeting. Every mention of his name by the speakers called, forth applause from the audience. On the platform were Mayor Lane, Dr. C. H. Rafferty. Tom Word, George I. Smith. Robert Andrews, M. Li. Pipes. Mr. Gearin and O. Young, who acted as chairman. The Westminister quartet furnished selections and was heartily cheered. Chairman Young opened the meeting with an address In which he contended that the present battle was for good gov ernment and honest administration of mu nicipal affairs, not a partisan contest, and was a campaign in which Democrats and Republicans were meeting on the com mon ground of mutual interest. At the close of his remarks Mr. Gearln was introduced. ) After the audience had ceased cheering. Mr. Gearin remarked that there were some very unpleasant things about a campaign and also some very pleasant things, referring to a beautiful bouquet of roses that had fallen at his feet as he rose to speak. Ho thanked the many women present for their attendance and interest in what the Lane meetings stood for purity in poli tics and the protection of the Portland home. "You are interested in your homes and the training of your children," he re marked, "and although you may not cast a vote you can influence others who do vote, to cast ballots for the sanctity and for the security of your homes and little ones next Monday. The wives and mothers of Portland have given us much encour agement in this campaign for order and protection, and we thank them for com ing here tonight and to the other meet ings that have been held." Mayor's Record the Issue. Mr. Gearin reviewed the campaign that was opened at the Armory two weeks ago, and declared that the Issue still was Mayor Lane, not Dr. Lane, on trial. "I have known Dr. Lane for a great many years," said the speaker, "and I have never known him not to measure up to the standard of an honest and honor able citizen, and now it is up to the voters of Portland whether his adminis tration shall be ratified and whether his efforts to protect every citizen and ad minister municipal affairs honestly and economically shall be sustained." Mr. Gearin referred to his speech deliv ered at the Armory meeting at the open ing of the campaign, In which he said that it was Lane the Mayor who' was. on trial. The opposition, he said, had tried to side track the real issue, whether that which Mayor Lane has done for the people should be approved or disapproved whether his efforts to maintan a pure government should be approved or disap proved and had appealed solely to parti san prejudice. "What do they mean?" asked Mr. Gearin. "What distinctions are they draw ing between Democrats and Republicans? President Roosevelt is the most popular man in the United States because he has stood for the people. So has Mayor Lane. Roosevelt stood for the railroad rate bill and recognized that in the people Is the source of all power.- And so does Dr. Lane. Roosevelt got his platform from a certain Democratic platform that came from the people. "Why, this demand for partisanship in municipal governments is 23 years behind the times. The trend of the present day is toward moral and clvio honesty and good government all over this country, and It is to the growing principle that we appeal in this campaign. Refers to Campaign Contributions. "There is one more matter to which I desire to call your attention, and that is campaign expenses and contributions. We have asked that the managers of Mr. Dev lin's campaign publish a list of the con tributions they have received and the ex penses of the campaign, but they have not done so. When corporations make contri butions toward the expenses of a cam paign they always do so for a selfish pur pose. They expect something in return. They make contributions where they will do the most good. "There should be a law requiring pub licity. We cannot hope for the Legislature to pass such a law, but the people will take the matter in their own hands and enact a law that will require the full pub licity of campaign contributions and ex penses. Of course there are legitimate ex penses, and it is perfectly honest to con tribute to these expenses." Mr. Gearin then discussed the policy of Mayor Lane and set forth the things the Mayor had accomplished for the better ment of the people. He said the issue is whether the people approve or dis approve of the Mayor's acts. He pointed to Mayor Lane's suppression of gambl ing, his elimination of the slot machines and his honest attempts to regulate and suppress the haunts of vice. "The Mayor," said Mr. Gearin, "has done all these things in the interest of the people. Before these reforms nad been brought about in Portland condi tions were a stench in the nostrils of every good citizen, and were so bad they had lost hope of any improvement. Vice was flaunted in conspicuous places. Houses of ill-fame were in the residence and business sections of Portland where young girls were compelled to pass daily. But the consciousness of the city became aroused. Indecency had prevailed until good citizens were aghast. There were the boxes in restaurants where vice was rampant and were a disgrace to Port land. What Lane Has Done. "Lane drove the social evil into biding and stopped the box evil. Fathers, do you want these boxes in restaurants re stored? If so vote against Mayor Lane. The Mayor put the nickel-ln-slot machines out of business, and removed from the boys of this city the first temptation to become gamblers. If you want them back vote against Mayor Lane. Before Lane was Mayor the city was In partner ship with the gamblers and received money from them, but every dollar the Municipal Judge received was stained with the honor of some woman. Tom Word put the gamblers out of business and Lane has kept them out. Do you think he was right? "Mr. Devlin Is lighting Lane and what he represents the same now aa he did two years ago. Mr. Devlin says that if elected Mayor within 60 days he will change conditions in the North End so that I shall have to change my descrip tion. Let me say that if be changes the North End as the Northenders expect him to change it, I certainly shall not only have to change my vocabulary, but the people will have to change their residence as well. We know that the North End is supporting Devlin. You cannot find a saloon in that district that Is not working for his election. A canvass recently made there showed that prac tically every saloon in the North End is supporting Devlin for Mayor, and prac tically all are fighting Mayor Lane. This situation is the talk of the town. You will hear on the streetcars, and the ques tion Is, can it be true that the North End is lined up for Devlin? My friends, at the close of this meeting you can in vestigate for yourself and you will find that the saloons of the North End are for Devlin." People Will Rise Vp. The time will come when the people will rise up and crush this interference of the liquor business in politics. This element will have its answer. Society will protect itself. I am not a prohibitionist, but the time has come when the liquor traffic should keep its hands out of politics." Mr. Gearln closed his address with an eloquent appeal for an effort on the part of every good citizen to elect Mayor Lane next Monday, in the name of good gov ernment, in the name of the homes of the. people and for the protection of the boys and girls of Portland. Mayor Lane followed with a short ad dress in which he reviewed his labor as Mayor, and promised that he would con tinue that work if re-elected. Robert Andrews and G. I. Smith made brief talks. The meeting closed with music by the quartet. PERSONALJVIENTION. H. G. Everett, of Lebanon, is registered at the Imperial. Dr. J. H. Fell, of John Day, is reg istered at the Imperial. Dr. J. P.
