RuahliBht tor Mayor In the city lection. June 6. was begun ytrrday In earnest. The demand for a representative business man to run against Kushllght. who received a plu rality nomination, haa gained consider able Impetus. The movement to bring out auch a candidate waa atarted yes terday from no less than half a dozen sources. It Is said the only trouble will be to And a man on whom the dif ferent elements of disaffected Republi can otera can concentrate trength. Urgent demand for auch a rAniiltiat exists. Many Republicans yesterday called ton Oay Lombard and Insisted that he ronsent to run aralnst Kusullght as an Independent. Mr. Lombard refused sarins- that under no circumstances would he go Into the contest. To tn-se aniiritlnr his eandMary. however. Mr. Inbird reiterated that he did not con' aider KushllKht the proper man to be elected Mavur of Portland. Further he assured his callers that If they would brng out the right kind of man to run as an Independent, he would forego a eontemnlated trio to California and take the stump against Rushlight. will not bring out an independent can didate but. In accordance with, a pre prlmary understanding, will, concen trate their support on the Democratic nominee. John Montag. In this way the antl-Beldlng Republicans hope to effect his defeat. Holding waa classed by Lombard In the recent campaign as one of the "undesirable" members of the present Council. His opponents have formed an organization known as the Sixth Ward Political Club for the purpose of making an organised fight against Beldlng. There la heard no talk of bringing out independent candidates to oppose either of the Ave Republican nominees for Councllmen-at-large. Tlrd Candidates Will Draw Lots. Official count of the returns in Satur day's primary election probably will be made under the direction of City Auditor Barbur either today or tomorrow. The official count will not alter materially the figures published by The Orcgonlan yesterday. The tie between Jordan V Zan and T. 8. Mann for the Republican nomination for Councilman from the First Ward, unless changed by the offi cial count, will be decided by the two candidates drawing lots. According to the unofficial returns, each candidate re ceived ISO rotes. Zan did not vote, spending the afternoon at the golf links. Had he voted and cast a ballot for him self, he would have received the nomi nation by one lone vote. CLOSE JUNE 7 WAR DEP.UIT3IEXT TO BE ME MORIALIZED. Simon Asked to Itnn.

Hoyt. president of the Rose Festi val Society, to maintain a closed period for brltlxea during the parade on the afternoon of June 7. It Is believed that the War Department also can be pre vailed upon to suspend rules for the operation of draws on the Bumside and Morrison-street bridges on that date. A memorial will be SMbmlttted to the authorities at Washington asking that an order be made for the closing of the draws on these two bridges while the parade la In progress. County Judse Cleeton said yesterduy that the memorial would be prepared this week. It being the Intention to have It signed by state, county and city officials and forwarded to Washington as early an Independent antl-Rushlight candi date has not come to a head, it n consisted only In a general discussion and consideration of possible available candidatea and their respective quaun cations, as well as their ability to de feat Rushlight. In this connection. considerable comment is heard of Dr. Andrew C. Smith. By many, he Is sicked as the man who may defeat Rushlight easily. It Is known that Dr. Bmlth Is feared more by the Rushlight forcea than an Y other man who haa been suggested as an Independent can dldate. Among the additional names sug gested yesterday as desirable candi dates was that of John F. O Shea, a rep resentative business man and heavy taxpayer, who Is a member of Mayor Simon's Executive Board. Mr. O Shea, however. Is averse to political activity and prominence, and probably would re fuse to consider becoming an inaepen dent candidate. Burgard Is Mentioned. John II. Burgard is also being con sidered. In . Saturday's election. Mr. Burgard showed great strength in his candidacy for re-nomination as Coun- cllman-at-large. defeating his opponent by nearly three to one. This demon stration of strength, coupled with the satisfactory record he has made dur ing his short service In the Council. haa caused his friends to believe that he would prove a most formidable op ponent to Rushlight. Among Democrats. Tom Word ap pears to be the favorite as an inde pendent candidate. A delegation of Republicans waited on Mr. Word yes terday and with earnestness pleaded with him to assume the role of Moses. Word declined to make any statement or give the committee any aasuranre of what he would do until he had time to ascertain what sources of strength he can depend upon in an Independent candidacy. Unless he can be convinced that he has better than an even break In a contest with Rush light, he will not give his answer. Some Favor II. S. Rowe. There are others who pick H. S. Rowe as a strong candidate to go against Rushlight. Mr: Rowe formerly served the people of Portland as Mayor and his administration, aside from be ing free of scandal, gave uniformly good satisfaction. Upon retiring as Mayor. Mr. Rowe became general agent here for the Chicago. Milwaukee St. Paul Railroad. Less than a month ago he retired from that position, lie has not been active In politics and In many ways is regarded as a desirable Inde pendent candidate. Further conferences wRl be held to day and tomorrow by those Republi cans who will not uphold Rushlight In an effort to center on some man behind whom all can stand and elect- They admit that the only chance of defeat ing Rushlight Is to harmonize all ele ments of strength that are opposed to Rushlight and concentrate that strength on one candidate. The dis astrous consequences of contending with a divided Held In an effort to de feat one candidate, as was demon strated In the primaries. Is too fresh in the minds of the antl-Rushllght cam paigners tor them to undertake an other fight, hasdlcapifcd by the same odds. I ursulng the same policy he adopted in the primary campaign. Rushlight is saying nothing. His friends are more talkative and even more confident. They assert Rushltmt Is Invincible and cannot be beaten by an Indepen dent, regardless of who that candidate may be. Rushlight will maintain the same headquarters In the Worcester building for the campaign that he used during the primary campaign. INDEPENDENTS ARE GROOMED Republican Nominees for Council 3Iay Have Hard Fight. Independent candidatea probably will be brought out to oppose some of the regular Republican nominees for Ward Councllmen. There Is definite talk of such a movement In the Eighth Ward, la which K. K. Knbll, member of the present Council, received the Republi can nomination by a plurality of 47. Two candidate have been discussed al ready aa probable opponents of Kubll. It Is understood that either J. T. Wil son, an auctioneer, or J. E. Davis, an attorney. Is willing to make the race against Kubll as aa Independent. la tee Sixth Ward, thoae opposed to the ra-alaotloa of Henry A. Beldlng. who was nominated from that ward. one of the chief features of the pro gramme. We realize that It Is nec essary to have the draws closed on Burnslde and Morrison-street bridges while the parade Is being given. "To that end we will ask the au thorities at Washington for a special dispensation June 7 in the matter of keeping the draws closed. We expect to have attached to the memorial the signatures of Representatives in Con gress, Senator Bourne, members of the State Supreme Court, state officials. county and city officials and thousands of citizens. Judge Cleeton said that the memo rial would set forth the local condi tions generally. In reply to Mr. Hoyfs letter Judge Cleeton and County Commissioners Llghtner and Hart wrote: We have Initiated a movement look ing to the presentation to the President of the I'nited States of a memorial setting forth the local conditions, the practical necessity of regulations which will close the draws at statea Intervals so as to accommodate pub lie convenience and vesting in the local authorities some power and discretion with respect to general reg ulations of that kind, and also with respect to regulations for special oc c as ions, such as the Rose Festival. . The County Court also found yester day that It had no authority to expend money for Illuminating tne bridges across Willamette i;iver auring nose Carnival week. The Rose Festival committee petitioned the County Court some time ago to appropriate I16U0 for providing the bridges with special electrical displays. The matter was submittted to Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald, who decided yesterday that the court had no legal power to maKe such an appropriation. lie held that the brldgea were ownea ty tne city and that it remained for the city to Illuminate the bridges. No expenditures other than those required for the con venlence and safety of the traveling public are authorized by law, said Mr. Fitzgerald. VETERANS' WIVES PLEAD Sell wood G. A. R. Post Wants Share of Memorial Day Fund. Arnrarlng before the ways and means committee of the City Council vesterday. Mrs. Mary L'pdyke and Mrs. L. M. Claudia pleaded with the members to arrange some wsy for the A. J. Smith Post, O. A. to get at least a small portion of 2a0 which is anDronrlated annually by the Louncu to assist In defraying the expenses of the veterans of the various Grand Army posts on Memorial oay. iney declared that their post at Sellwood haa never received "a red cent" from the fund. "This money has always gone to the George Wright Post." said the women. who declared they were wives or "oia men. who fought in tne tivii war. We tried to get part of It to help dec orate the graves of the veterans in the cemetery at Sellwood last year, but our representative, an aged man, was laughed at by the officers of the right Post. Now, we take Just as much pride in keeping the graves of our veterans green as do the other posts, and we want enough or the city money to neip us iust a little, at least. The mem bers of our post are decrepit and can't attend the celebrations dowtown. any way, and we don t think It s right. The two women are gray-haired and bent with age. Mrs- Lpdyke said. when Chairman Cellars asked her name. -We are woman who let our husbands go to the war. and we think we have a right to be heard In behalf of them now. The committee directed Clerk Grutze to write a letter to the officers -of Wright Post, to whom the fund Is turned over because one of Its mem bers gets the check from the city. Mr. Grutze was Instructed to tell the of ficers of the post that It Is the wish of Mis members of the committee that a part of the money go to 'the Sellwood post. W'aralag fe Railroad Mem. K. S.
