of the Big Liquor
Interests.
HIS RECORD LAID BARE
Attitude on Measures Before City
Council Shows How He Has
Befriended Brewers and Sa
loons On "Red Ticket."
Fearful lest revelations of Mr. Rush
light's close connection with liquor in
terests may damage his candidary for
the Republican nomination for Mayor
In today's primaries, his friends are
trying- to pacify anti-saloon voters by
denying that he is allied with saloon
men. All the while, however, they neg
lected to explain why his election as
Councilman was opposea by reform
forces In 1905; why he steadfastly re
sisted ordinances that would diminish
the box evil in saloons and restaurants:
why he opposed the ordinance enacted
last September which forbids women in
saloons; why he tried to secure the
passage of an amending ordinance ad
mitting women into "eating places," a
trick to open saloons again to women;
why in private business he is a saloon
landlord and a brewer plumber, and
why in his candidacy for Assessor last
year most of his support came from
North Knd and Alblna saloon'preclncts.
Brewers Have Made Him.
Mr. Rushlight was lifted from ob
scurity In 3 905 by the association of
brewers and wholesale liquor dealers
that then was taking active part in pol
itics. Liquor men wanted a candidate
to oppose Dan Sherrett, who was then
running for re-election in the Seventh
Ward. Mr. Rushlight's primary peti
tions were boosted along by liquor
men, but their interest in him they
tried to keep secret. In the June elec
tion, the reform forces knew Rush
light's political alliance with liquor men
and indorsed Sam Morrow, Prohibition
candidate, and printed his name on
their election cards. Mr. Rushlight was
a member of the notorious "red ticket"
in that election, which was supported
by saloons and fought by the reform
element. In the primaries his name
had not been printed on the red ticket,
because liquor men feared Sherrett
might be nominated. But they sent
out the secret word to their friends
that Rushlight was their candidate.
After the election, on the day that
Rushlight, together with 11 other mem
bers of the Council, passed over the
Mayor's veto the notorious anti-reform
box ordinance, the Portland Journal
printed the "red ticket" in red ink on
its first page. Rushlight's name Included,
declaring that by their vote on the box
ordinance the 12 "liquor" Councilmen
were carrying out their pre-election
pledges to the liquor Interests. That
was August 17, 1905.
Supports Saloon Measures.
Most recent of Mr. Rushlight's stands
for his liquor friends was his opposition
to the Cellars ordinance, passed last Sep
tember, barring women from saloons.
Immediately afterward Mr. Rushlight
came forward with an ordinance to amend
the Cellars law so as to admit women
into saloon eating places and into whole
sale liquor establishments. This measure
failed to pass over the Mayor's veto.
Mr. Rushlight's favors In the Council
toward the Weinhard brewery are recip
rocated by the brewery, whose plumbing
Is done by him. Mr. Rushlight was in
strumental in securing for Weinhards,
three years ago. a franchise for an over
head bridge across Twelfth street, and
for a street tunnel connecting separate
buildings of the plant. "When J. Whyte
Evans was inlhe zenith of hU career in
Portland as the head of the United Rail
ways, Mr. Rushlight secured a large
amount of plumbing business in the
i'haniber of Commerce building, which
the United Railways then controlled.
This business followed Mr. Rushlight's
support In the Council of the franchise
of the United Railways.
Kr lends of Mr. Rushlight know that re
cital of his dealings with liquor interests
Is damaging to his candidacy for Mayor.

Suffered Terribly from Eczema

USED CUTICURA AND
WAS QUICKLY CURED
" I suffered from eczema on ray hands,
arms and feet for about twelve years,
my hands and feet would swell, sweat
and itch, then would become callous
and get very dry, then peel off and
get raw. I tried most every kind of
salve and ointment without success,
only got temporary relief. As soon as I
would leave off using them I would be
as bad as ever. I tried several doctors,
took arsenic for two years and at last
gave up thinking there was a cure for
eczema. A friend of mine insisted on
my trying the Cuticura Remedies but,
supposing they were the same as other
'cures' I had tried, I did not give them
a trial until I got so bad that I had to
do something. I secured a cake of Cu
ticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint
ment and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent
and by the time they were used I could
see a vast improvement and my hands
and feet were healed up in no time. I
used several bottles of Cuticura Re
solvent. This was over a year ago and
have had no trouble since. I think I
am entirely cured. Charles T. Bauer,

support of a host of friends, and I
shall repay them, if nominated and
elected, by giving to the people of the
City of Portland the best that is in me.
I would urge every man that is in
favor of a clean and honest administra
tion of municipal affairs to express that
sentiment at the polls tomorrow.
A. G. Rushlight I think I shall re
ceive the Republican nomination for
Mayor. From the reports I have re
ceived from all sections of the city, the
outlook appears very favorable to my
nomination. I expect to carry every
ward on the East Side, and believe I
shall break even on the West Side. I
stand for the preservation of the direct
primary law against those who are as
sailing it. and would advise that all of
my friends go to the polls tomorrow in
the defense of popular legislation, as
well as in the support of my candidacy
for Mayor,

Joseph Simon I became a candidate

ESTIMATES OF PARTY CHAIRMEN'.
A. B. Manley, chairman Republi
can city central committee Of a to
tal registration of probably 28,000
Republican voters In the city, I do
not expect that the. total vote in to
morrow's primary election will ex
- ceed 12,000. Two years ago when the
rival candidates for this nomination
conducted a much more aggressive
campaign than has been witnessed In
the campaign which is about to close,
only 8500 votes were cast. In view
of the listless campaign which has
been conducted I do not believe the
total Republican vote will exceed
12,000.
Georre H. Thomas, chairman Xem
ocatlc city central committee It
would be altogether Idle for me to
make an estimate of the probable
Democratic vote which will be cast
In tomorrow's primary election. While
probably 5000 Democrats are reg
istered In this city, the vote that will
be cast by the minority party will be
purely a voluntary one, which Is dif
ficult to estimate. This is particu
larly true from the fact that mem
bers of the party. have not qualified
as candidates under- the direct pri
mary law. Democrats will nominate
tfrolr candidates by writing the names
on the ballot, and in the absence of
contests a large vote cannot be ex
pected. campaign, but, from Information I have
received from my friends, I am satis
fied I shall receive the party's nomina
tion in . tomorrow's contest. So san
guine am I of the nomination and elec
tton that I . already have ordered my
desk removed to the City Hall.
It was impossible yesterday to reach
State Senator Bailey, the fourth candi

ticket. For that reason, a preliminary
statement from him is lacking.

"William M. Iverson at the Swift Packing

6:40 o'clock yesterday morning. Within

coming to Portland and alighting at
Third and Burnside streets. This clew
was followed up by Deputy Sheriff Harry

Iverson was taken to the Good Samari

about 100 men are working. Both the
men are teamsters, it being Iverson's
special duty to haul provisions from
town. Night before last trouble is said
to have arisen over two horse collars
which were in Iverson's possession, but
which Enwright claimed. The contro
versy was renewed at the mess table
between 6 and 6 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, it is said, but the men were pacified
and Iverson went out.
After hitching up his team he mounted
the wagon. In the meantime Enwright
had followed him out and demanded the
horse collars.
"Well, do you think you can take
them?" Iverson is said to have retorted.
"Come down here and I'll show you
about that," and with that Iverson started
to climb off his wagon. He is a large
man, and as he started to alight he saw
a revolver flash in Enwrlghfs hand. At
that he turned and started to climb back
on the wagon, when there was a flash,
a report, and he staggered to the ground.
Enwr&ht is said to have walked away
after a few minutes, with the revolver
still in his hand. Many men saw the
shooting.
Affair Is a Mystery.
Iverson is about 35 years old, while En
wright is about 23. His mother and sis
ter live at 288 Sacramento street. The
mother told Deputy Sheriff Bulger, with
whom she is well acquainted, that she
could not understand how fhe shooting
came to occur, as she said Iverson and
"Con" were on the best of terms. Iver
son, she said, was in the habit of calling
for "Con's" laundry when he passed
the Enwright home, and she said she
did not know bad blood existed between

on the steamer Hassalo, while his father

the "man hunt" within a half hour after
the shooting occurred, with the exception
of one or two men left to answer tele
