Cellars, Who Slay Kun for Mayor. that among them are lawyers, physicians and an number of well-known business men. "It Is true." said Mr. Cellars, "that I have been requested by several dl -cations to consent to run as a canoW-te for Mayor in the primaries. They have urged me to enter the race, as thev state, because they believe that 1 could win in the primaries and also at the election in June. However, I do not know whether I can afford to give up my business interests: 1 still have that matter under consideration. I feel that to be Mayor of Portland, a man must give his entire time to the work, and if I decide to enter the race. T will arrange to devote my full time and attention to the duties of the office, if nominated and elected. "It becomes a serious matter to be called upon to decide between business and public life, but if I go into it at all. I will not. if elected, retain a cent's worth of stock in any firm or corpora tion, and will give my entire time and attention to the city's affairs. I realise there Is great honor in the position of Mayor, and I feel that I can be elected. If I decide to run, but as to whether I can afford to leave my business, I cannot as yet say." Mr. Cellars lias become more generally known through his anti-woman-in-sa-loons ordinance tnan any other single measure, since his election to the Coun cil two years ago. He caused this to be drafted by the City Attorney, and con tinued a fight to put it through the Council until he succeeded, with the as sistance of other members who believed It to be a proper measure. It is believed that it is largely because of the attitude he has maintained in regard to the regu lation of saloons that some of his friends believe he could win the nomination at the primaries and also the election. These men point out that Mayor Lane has twice been elected by the vote of the so-called "moral element," and they say that it will require a man whose at titude Is similar to that of the Mayor re garding moral questions, more particu larly the liquor problem to defeat Mayor Lane, should the latter be the Demo cratic candidate. Mr. Cellars, however, is aware that Mayor Lane is very gen erally known, while he himself is not so widely known. Mr. Cellars realizes also the advantage of wide acquaintance. "I am not a politician," said Mr. Cel lars, "neither am I a 'glad hand' man nor a 'good mixer." I have never been identified with politics to any very great extent, and am not so widely known as some politicians are, which may make some difference in a campaign: but I have interests In Portland, which make me highly interested in the welfare of the city. My home is here, my children are in school here, and my business in terests are here, so that I naturally want to see progress along all lines, and. If I do enter the race for the office of Mayor, I will do so only that I may. If elected, devote my time to the advance ment of all its interests." English pumps at Rosenthal's. P.
