SATURDAY, may 1911. f ' 8 . W WEHLEIN VIGOROUS If DENUNCIATION Municipal Association Is De clared Oppo'secJ to All Vice Except Usury. ATTACK MADE ON LOMBARD Candidate Promise Speedj Com pletion of Broadway Bridge, and Points to Own Record as Justifying Course. Farther and vigorous denunciation of the Municipal Association, members of which were mentioned by name, char acterised tha closing addresses of J. E. Werleln in his candidacy 'or Mayor last night. Mr. Werleln addressed an audience of enthusiastic voters at Malr-a Hall. Albpa. at S o'clock and at the conclusion of this meeting went to Kern Park, where he spoke to an other crowd. He recetTed urgent in vitations during the day to appearand peak in other sections of the city, but It was Impossible for him to cover more than tha two meetings he at tended. Introducing h! remarks at Mail's Ma!!. Mr. Werleln said that he had made an Investigation of the Municipal Association, particularly la its mem bership, -which had assailed his repu tation and standing as a business man. and declared he was unfit Mayoralty timber. Men Called Traducers. -I desire at this time to treat fur ther the matter of the Municipal Asso ciation, thla self-constituted committee which claims for Itself the title of the sola guardians of the moral and politi cal welfare of thla beautiful city." he Mld. "Who are they? Let ma state, be fore names are mentioned, that thla Mm municipal Association Is the or ganization which secured at tha hands of the errand Jury tha Indictment of George' H. Williams, tha grand old man of Oregon.' who was at that tima Mayor of the city. This Indictment was so manifestly unjust that John Manning. Democratic District Attor ney, had It dismissed, for which I say all honor to John Manning. Through the bounding of this same Municipal Association It was made Impossible for Mayor Williams to solve great ques tions Involving the public welfare. The men whose names I shall men tion do not represent the people who stand for either law. order or good mor als, their personal records disproving such an attitude. With all people who stand for honor, decency and a practi cal, sane administration of the affairs of the city I Join hands. They are In the main opposed to all forms of vice except usury. They wax fat and thrive on the unfortunatea who happen, through forca of circumstances, to get Into their clutches by having mort gages plastered on their homes, and to whom they show no mercy. The excep tions to this rale I shall note. Names Are Given. "I stand with all good men who de sire a cieaner. better, more progres siva city along safe, sane and conserva. tlve lines. Who are the people who have attempted to besmirch my record for honesty and business capacity by Innuendo? Here they are and their rec ords: John Fain, who la not a resi dent of the city, recently admitted to citizenship and a money-lender by oc cupation. It was he who attempted to get on the grand 'Jury to indict Mayor Williams, but was dismissed because he was not a citizen. J. T. Wilson, an auctioneer, candidate for Chief of Po lice under George H. Williams. Not securing this appointment, ha maligned and abused Williams. "H. M. Ksterly. Democratic politician, anxious for the nomination of Lombard, that he might be defeated by an Inde pendent. I "O. p. M. Jamison, defender and ex-i-uscr of lilchers of the public domain, attorney of land-frand fame. "John Patterson spends a great deal of his time In China. "David A. Pattullo. manager Balfour, Uuthrte A Co, a foreign partnership with money-lending department. "Walter F. Kdwards. an American, lives In Vancouver, Wash, but -has re cently taken no part In the nauseating work of this self-constituted organiza tion. "And this self-appointed Municipal Association, whose indorsement I at no time sought, has the brazenness. when It can dig up no spot or blemish on either my public or private life to at tempt to belittle my capacity as a busi ness man. and place a man of the cali ber of a Lombard before the people as the essence of good citizenship. Lombard Declared Guilt;. "With these men. money Is king; with me an honorable name la king. They worship at the shrine of money and are not able to see beyond. They dare hold up ray life to ridicule and place a Lom bard above It. Lombard, who Is as guilty of wrongdoing In the Council as the guiltiest: Lombard, the father cf his newly-dtscovered paving trust; Lom bard, who, while he claims to represent the people, yet hetraya them by furnish ing bonds for contractors on public Im provements: Lombard, who secured 15000 for stock that could not have been secured except through his posi tion as Councilman. No, tha people of Portland do not want such a character for their Mayor." Mr. Werleln then'took up the build ing of tha Broadway bridge, promising tlie speedy completion of that structure. He rehearsed In brief the public ad dresses delivered during the campaign, showing the powers of the Mayor and that he la the responsible head of the municipal government. Mr. Werleln . closed his address by defying any mnn t point to a single suspicious act In .avtuuc bis public or private lite. LOMBARD IiETTINti FAVORITE Sum or $1000 Posted at'lO to 8 In Ills Favor Is Not Taken. Betting on today's election has cen tered almost entirely on the Republican Mayoralty contest. -Late last night 11000 posted on Lombard at 10 to 8 re mained uncovered at a Washington street cigar store. Several bets of $100 at even money have been made on Lom bard and Rushlight. A few small bets have been placed that rone of the present members of the Council will be , renominated. These wagers as to Councilmen, however, have been confined largely to the respective chances of those Councilmen whom Lombard haa styled as "undesirables." Treasurer Content Is Lively. With four candidates for the nomina tion, a lively contest will be decided to day when tha Republican voters select i their nominee for City Treasurer. f Friends of Harry C. Allen, one of the quartet, have been especially active In Ms behalf since tha campaign opened. Mr. Allen was for many years connected with the wholesale drug firm of Snell. lieltshu A Woodard and la a long-time resident of thla city. That he Is not only deserving but is in every way qual ified for tha office ha seeks are among 4 the reasons advanced by his supporters why he should be nominated In today's election. LABOR. PICKS PALY TO WIX Efforts Are Concentrated on Candl- -. date for Council. Officers of the Workingmen's Politi cal Club last night announced that they expected that three of tha five candi dates indorsed by that organlaation would be nominated in today'a pri maries. The three are -William H. Daly and Ralph C Clyde for Council-men-at-Large and Edward D. Williams for Municipal Judge. Tfce club also gave 4ts Indorsement early in the cam paign to A. O. Rushlight for Mayor and K. B. White, candidate for Councilman from the Seventh Ward. x Representatives of organized labor have been particularly active In sup port of the candidacy of Daly as a member of the Council. The tradea unionists have centered their fight, ao far as the Council Is concerned, on Daly, on tha theory that organized la bor la entitled to one of the IS mem bers of the City Council and for the further reason they regard Daly tha proper man to represent them. Mr. Daly Is president of tha Oregon State Federation of Labor. CIVIL- SERVICE RILES BROKEN" Marked - Sample Ballots Given to Firemen Favor Kusliliglit. In violation of the civil service rules In the city charter, supporters of A. O. Rushlight yesterday continued their dis tribution of marked sample ballots. The violation of the civil service regulations consisted in scattering these ballots, with an "X" marked prominent before Rush light's name, among tha members of the city fire department. While many of the members of the fire department feel friendly towards Rushlight, who labored to secure for them and other employes of the city in creased salaries, thla action haa pro voked a feeling of resentment among those firemen who read and think for themselves. LOMBARD SEEMS TO LEAD (Continued From First Page.) himself during the last few days of the campaign by submitting to the press sigired statements In which he sought to criticise Lombard's record as a Councilman without' advocating anything In support of his own can didacy. He has been Indorsed by tha Workingmen s Political Club, repre senting organised labor, and haa the zealous support of certain of the city employes, whose salaries ha assisted to Increase during the last year. For the first time in years, the voters of the city are thoroughly aroused In tha election of Councilmen. Of the five members Lombard has designate! "undesirables" Baker, Belding, Con- cannon. Drlscoll and Kubll Baker may be nominated. If he Is It will be due alone to his personal popularity. Beld ing does not have a Republican oppon ent in his ward, but those Republicans who are opposing htm will register their protest In today's election by crossing out Beldlng's name and writ ing the name of John Montag, a Demo crat, on the ballot. City Auditor Barbur and City Attor ney Grant probably will be nominated to succeed themselves, their opponents, K. M. Lance and H. C. King, respective ly, apparently not having a chance. Tha race for City Treasurer is a close one. with William Adams believed to be slightly In the lead, although Harry C Allen has been making substantial gains the past week. J. H. Richmond and Oscar P. Miller, the other two can didates, have been particularly active and will surrender first place in the contest to no other aspirant. live Runnlns for Judge. Rqually keen and even more uncer tain Is tha contest for Municipal Judge. There are five candidates for this nom ination and each feels confident of re ceiving the desired plurality of votes. With the Democrats, today's election will be a tame affair save for three contests In the nomination of Council man from three wards First, Seventh and Eighth. While George H. Thomas Is the only Democratic candidate for Mayor, it waa learned yesterday that the fmlends of Dr. Harry Lane by writ ing his name In the ballot will seek to force the party nomination on him. Thomas' friends have suspected this move and will be on the alert this aft ernoon to frustrate such an attempt. Thev will see to It that all supporters of Thomas get to the polls and vote for him. . - State Balks at Street' Assessment. SALEM. Or., May 5. (Special.) The possibility of losing the proposed ar mory site at Ferry and Liberty streets developed today when Adjutant-General Flnzer was informed by owners of the property that tt would be necessary for the state to pay $ for street im provement assessment. The Adjutant General said that tha atate will refuse to pay. CANDIDATES GIVE REASONS Lombard, Werlcin and Rushlight Summarize Claims Upon Electors in Primaries to Be Held This Afternoon. GAT LOMBARD Because I stand for honest, clean government- Because I oppose tha present City Council. Because I have corns out openly and frankly and ahown up the present Coun cil. Because the vicious and corrupt element of the city Is fighting me. Be cause I stand for a fair deal to alL Be cause I have made an aggressive fight, against strong odds, for a change In the men who misrepresent us. Because I stand for a commission form of govern ment. Because of the fact that if you do not encourage decent men to run for office, then you turn this city over to graft, greed and personal gain. Because I have made an open fight and answered every question that was asked me and because my opponents have not. Because the hour Is here when decency must assert Itself and deliver this city from corporate Influences. A. G. Rushlight As Councilman for these six years 1 have consistently op posed the taking of public property for private use. not before campaigns for campaign purposes, but at all times. Typical Instances of this course are to be found in my opposition to the va cation of the streets for the beeflt of the Inman-Poulscn corporation: for the vacation of streets In favor of the Ter minal Company: on the claim of the Southern Pacific in its perpetual fran chise on tth street, and on the recent attempted steal of the East Side streets for the railroad company. I have always been In favor of the commission form of government and will take active steps to bring about an Immediate submis sion of this form of government to the decision of the voters. I have been against extravagance and private ap propriations. I opposed the last blanket franchise which the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company cannonaded through the Council over my protest, on the ground that. In my Judgment, the city as not adequately or fairly com WER5 OPPOSE, AVERS Violation of Corrupt Practices itct With Marked Bal lots Charged.- '. CAMPAIGN COMES TO END Names of Candidates Classed as "Undesirable" 'Are Repeated In Speech at Piedmont Wood lawn Hears Address. "Violating the provisions of the cor rupt practices act. Paul Wesslnger, representing the breweries and liquor Interests, has sent out marked ballots with the name of Rushlight for Mayor at the head of the list," charged Gay Lombard In his address at Piedmont last night. "On the same ballot were also marked the names of tha members of the City Council, whom I have destg nated as 'undesirable,' and who are seeking re-election. "These marked ballots have been dis tributed throughout tiie city for the purpose of Influencing votes for those candidates who, if elected, will not be antagonistic to the interests that are responsible for circulating these bal lots. This Is only another evidence of the extent to which the breweries, paving combination and corporate in terests are going In this campaign to protect their interests by electing pub lic servants they can control. Three Picked for Council. "Baker. Brady and Drlscoll, for Coun-rllmen-at-Large, and Rushlight for Mayor.' That is Mr. Wessinger's ticket sent out at the 11th hour to the dives and brothels of the North End and this Is government and this. Mr. Citizen. Is what you are up against. And yet you remain apathetic and indifferent. If there ever was a time when you should rise In your might and assert yourself now la the time. v "And then there Is the Portland Rail way. Light & Power Company and Its corrupting influence on public life, also Mr. Josselyn's indirect bribery of me in the presence of his lobbyist. Oskar Ho lier hla efforta to drag me Into tha meshea of this corruption and cause me to represent In the City Council not the people who elect me but his com pany. 'Gentlemen, what do you think of that? Is that government or misgov ernmentT No man can serve two mas ters, and I am either your representa tive In public life or the representative of Interests opposed to you. 'Choose wisely and well." Meeting Is Enthusiastic. Nearly 200 persons attended this meeting, which was the most enthusi astic Mr. Lombard has held. The speaker continued his advocacy of a commission form of government for the city and discussed in detail that plan of municipal administration. Voters were urged to exercise the greatest care in selecting nominees for the Council if an Improvement In the con ditions complained of under the present system were to be remedied. . "Who shall we support for Council men?" inquired a voter in the audience. "It Is not for me to assume to dic tate to you who you should support for Councilmen." replied Mr. Lombard, "but I do think It is entirely proper for me to tell you whom. In my opinion, you should not vote for. Tho nve 'unde sirable' members of that body who are seeking re-election Baker, Belding. Concannon, Drlscoll and Kubll should not be returned to the Council. They are not the right kind of men to rep resent you. They do not stand for the best Interests of the city." Scores of questions relating to the present Council and the commission plan were asked by the audience. This gave Mr. Lombard an opportunity to present more clearly his Ideas on various phases of municipal affairs that lack of time prevented him from taking up In his direct address. Following tjie adjournment of the meeting Mr. Lombard hurried to Wood lawn, where.. for 20 minutes, he talked to another gathering of voters. BALLOT STORY CALLED CANARD Rushlight Says It Is In Keeping With Lombard's Methods. ' "The charge Mr. Lombard makes against Mr. Wesslnger is only another of tho last-hour-last-minute canards that was to be expected from him in view of the character of campaicn he has been conducting. " ald Mr. Rush light, last night, when shown Lom bard's accusation. "For this reason. It pensated. I am heartily in favor of a municipal paving repair plant, if elected Mayor I shall Insist upon providing an adequate water supply to outlying pop ulated districts. I have consistently op posed tha street paving companies for wholesale laying of Inferior pavements, and if elected Mayor I shnll consistently enforce the ordinances of the City of Portland without fear or favor to any class. J. E. Werleln Because of my thorough knowledge of the needs of the city. Be cause I shall assume all responsibility as Mayor for the wrong-doing of any appointee I might be responsible for. Be cause I shall mete out Justice where Jus tice Is due. regardless of the class or condition of the person demanding Jus tice at my hands. Bocaufe I have de clared that through competent engineers I shall ascertain the cost of every pub lic improvement and shall not approve the letting of any contract at other than reasonable rates. Because! have demonstrated to the public that I have the ability, backed up by the charter, to bring order out of the complained of chaotic condition now existing In tho City Council. Because at the first evi dence of wrong-doing upon the part of any city official, other than Councilman. I have the power and will remove said official. Because I shall be the Mayor of all the people. Because I recognize the charter as the creation of the people and my rule and guide and. until another Is adopted. I shall without fear or favor demand strict compliance with -its pro visions. Because I have promised 4he people that I will appoint a eommittee of 15 to draw a commission form of gov ernment charter, will have the same placed In the haq'ls of all . registered voters and will caW a special election for the adoption of the earner These promises I make and shall fulfill to the best bf my ability with the same cour age and fidelity that 1 have filled every public trust committed to my care. LOMBARD really is not necessary for ma to deny It as a positive. If not a manufactured falsehood. Its only purpose Is to In jure me and my candidacy. "If Mr. Lombard has In his posses sion any marked ballots gathered from the source where he claims to have found them, he no doubt had them placed where they could be reached easily. This eleventh-hour 'sensation' Is only In line with other numerous and- unproved statements he has made during his campaign." Marked" liullots Found. Sample ballots with crosses marked In front of the names of A. G. Rush light, for Mayor; George L. Baker. Fred J. Brady and M. J. Drlscoll, for Councllman-at-LSrge. appeared In the North End late yesterday afternoon. The ballots were very generally dis tributed among the saloons In- the North End. Montag's Name to Be Written In. Republican voters in the Sixth Ward, who are opposed to the re-election of Henry A. Belding as Councilman, from that Ward. In today's election will write the name of John Montag, Demo crat, on the nominating ballot after crossing out Beldlng's name. This course was decided upon by the adop tion of a resolution at a meeting of the Sixth Ward Campaign Club last night. This organization, which has a mem bership of about 200, 85 per cent of whom are Republicans, was organized for the purpose of defeating Belding.

I TAX REBATE AGGRAVATES Pendleton Council May Refuse . Grant to Woolen Mills. PENDLETON1. Or., May 5. (Special.) Whether the city of Pendleton shall rebate the taxes on the Pendleton Woolen Mills plant is the question with which the local City Council is now wrestling. The problem will be solved next Wednesday evening or before. When the mills were erected, the Council agreed to exempt the plant from taxation for a period of 10 years. It was found this was illegal. A system of rebating the taxes each year was therefore evolved. This year the City Council is composed largely of new men. who do not feel they are under any obligation to be bound by the promises of former members. Good Things in Markets BY LILIAN TINGLE.

BAILEY ATTACKS lilCTWi State Food Commissioner Says Ficts Alleged Do Not Constitute Crime. HEARING TO BE WEDNESDAY Attorney Declares That Cane Has Resolved Itseir Into Persecu-, tion and That It Should Be Dropped. Technical weakness of the Indictment charging mm with failure to publisti bulletins, as required Dy law, m m chemical tests performed In his office, is to be made the defense for a second time of J. W". Bailey, State Dairy and Food Commissioner, who, instead of pleading yesterday afternoon to the charge against him, filed a demurrer to the validity of his Indictment. Samuel White, one of Bailey's at torneys, appeared for him before Judge Gantenbein and offered the demurrer in lieu of a plea on the part of his client. The'court set 9:30 o'clock next Wednesday morning as the time for arguments on the demurrer. If the demurrer is overruled at that time. Bailey will be required to make a plea. His case will then be set for trial. First Indictment Dismissed. ' Bailey was first, indicted last Winter. After the case went to trial. Bailey's attorneys asked the jj court t dismiss the case on the grounds that the in dictment failed to say that the chem ical analyses, which would make tha publication of the monthly bulletins necessary, had been made. Judge Mor row found that for that reason the in dictment was not valid, and the case was dismissed. Following this. Deputy District At torney Fitzgerald applied to the court for an order referring the casa back to the grand jury. A delay was had in the issuing of the order, and the day It was signed tha grand Jury re turned another indictment against Bailey for tha same offense for a later month. The demurrer filed yesterday In Bailey's behalf charges that the indict ment is invalid for three reasons: First, it is alleged that it does not substan tially conform to chapter VII. title 18, of Lord's. Code of Oregon, which pro vides how an indictment must be drawn. Second, it Is alleged t'aat the Indict ment charges Bailey with committing more than one crime, though it falls to specify what the crimes are. Third. It is contended that the facts stated In the indictment do not constitute a crime Indictment Is Specific. The new indictment was prepared with much care and gives in detail the chemical analyses that b,ad been made in Bailey's office and of which it was asserted that a. report should have been made in the monthly bulle tin for March that Bailey should have issued. When asked yestdrday afternoon what two crimes he Interpreted the Indictment as charging Bailey with having committed. Attorney White re tilied that he was not prepared to Ljnako that feature known until the case should come up for argument. He refused also to indicate in what specific manner the indictment fails to conform with the section of the code providing how it must be drawn. . Mr. White said that the case against Bailey had resolved Itself into a per secution Instead of a prosecution. It was his opinion, he said, that the ac tion of the , Legislature in freeing Bailey of any blame in regard to his alleged failure to perform his official duties should be sufficient, and that it was not right for him to be forced to defend himself for the same thing in a court of justice. BONDING COMPANY UNDER- BAN County Court Refuses Approval , ITntil Claim Is Settled.. Falling In every other attempt to get the American Bonding Company to re imburse the County for the failure of George W. Oliver to complete his. con tract for bulling a cottage and barn on the County poor farm, for whom the company furnished bonds. Judge Clee ton. and Commissioners Lightner and Hart yesterday announced a boycott against the company until the claim is settled. The County took a similar action re cently with another bonding firm which refused to pay claims against It for the failure of contractors to complete work on the east wing of the new Courthouse. The announcement that the County would refuse to accept the company's bond in future caused a settlement of the claim almost Imme diately. To Wlbur & Spencer, the Portland representatives of the American Bond ing Company, the County Court sent the following letter yesterday: "In regard to the George W. Oliver matter, which we have been endeavor ing in every way to adjust, we wish to notify you that henceforward no bond by your company will be approved by the County Court until this matter, for which your bonding company is surety, is adjusted. We are forced to take this position for the reason that tho men who have performed tha labor and furnished the material for the build ings should have their money and are importuning us dally for the same. We are placed in the position that we cannot satisfy their demands without probably waiving some of our rights under the bond. "You promised to send us a letter assuring- us of the good faith of your company, but you have failed to send It. and we feel that it is our duty to protect these claims, and shall use 'every endeavor to do so." f WIFE HIDES AFTER DECREE Court Enjoins Barber Fwnn Ful filling Threats to Kill.
