Ona of the most gratifying features was tha snrprlstng ly large number of signatures secured for tba petition which la to be filed to bring Mr. Simon out aa aa Indspan dent candldata against A. O. Rushlight, th Republican nominee. While It waa believed by tbe citizens having charge of tbe circulation that time waa short. It being necessary to (lis the names by Saturday night, mora than the requisite number were obtained during tba after noon. While tba law require only the circulators obtained more than 1000 namea. Henry E. Reed, la charge of the clti sens' headquarters at 2e Stark street, waa highly pleased with the work accomplished. Ha will continue th circulation of the petitions until Saturday, and It is beliavad that a large number of namea will ba filed. Equally encouraging was tba an nouncemant by City Treasurer Werleln that he will unqualifiedly support Mayor Simon. In announcing his stand and declaring himself in favor of Mayor Simon, Mr. Werleln denounced A. Q. Rushlight. Republican nominee, aa un fit for the high position to which h aspires because Mr. Rushlight, he charges. Is tied np and could not. If elected, act freely In Important public matters. Pledging certain positions to certain classes and making pre-election agreements to such aa extent that be la unable to administer ths business of the city In a fair and Impartial man ner, waa also charged. Werleln Pledge Support. Mr. Werleln called on Mayor Simon early yesterday morning and offered him support. If ha would accept tha argent call of th citizens of tba city and make tha race against Rushlight. Feeling that the Interests of tha city would bast be conserved by tha con tinuing of Mayor Simon In tha office. Mr. Werleln nrged him to enter th race. I am going to support Mayor Simon for several reasons." said Mr. Werleln. "In tha first place, ba has been my per sonal friend for many yaara aad that goes a long way with me. although It Is not tha moat Important Item. I In vestigated the situation and found that Mr. Rushlight had tied himself up In so many ways that ha would not, were ha elected, ba able to administer th city's affairs In aa Impartial and bus! nesslike manner. Making pre-election proslsea aa to certain positions and In promising so many things In advance. In my opinion, makea him helpless to carry on the public business In the right way. City Should Progress. Tie. In g Interested here as a citizen and taxpayer and expecting to remain in Portland all of my days. It Is only natural that I abould wish to see the city adranoa steadily." continued Mr, Werleln. "Mr. Simon has made admirable Mayor. Under his guidance tbe city has made marked progress. He haa conducted the office in a dig- nlfled, businesslike way, and while eieatea .in tna primaries, I am not taking thla stand because of this. for I have no 111 feeling whatever over my defeat. I shall retire to private life gladly, but shall always claim the privilege of participating tn political campaigns for tha good of tha city at any time. Finding that Mr. Rushlight had vio lated not only the spirit, but also tha letter of tha law In making pra-eleo- tlon promises aad In pledging certain office to cts'tain claaaea or Individuals, cams to the conclusion that I could not support him. Under ordinary cir cumstances I should support tha party nominee, but these. I consider, are not ordinary circumstances. Conditions have evolved themselves Into a grave emergency, calling for prompt action by the citizens to save the city from ths hands of those who, I believe, ars not qualified to administer Its business. naturally turn to Mr. Simon as ths man wbo is acta to direct the cltys a flairs in a manner which seams to m to ba proper. Citizens' Doty Plain. f "I feel that every citizen should taka a part In publlo affairs aad that all should act according to ths dictates of their own consciences. That la why I refuse to support Mr. Rushlight and why I shall aupport Mr. Simon In this campaign. I feel very grateful to the publlo for all tha favors extend ed to ma during my career aa a public official and wish to say that I shall nsver forget the kindness shown ma many tlmea by the people." Mr. Werleln referred to the charges that Mr. Rushlight baa promised to appoint "Andy" Matson, of tha Long shoremen's Union, Chief of Police or to allow the labor organisations to dictate ths appointment of a Chief, In tha event of Mr. Rushlight's election. Mr. Werleln also said that ha believed Mr. Rushlight had allowed certain lnter tats to name his Executive Board and others officers, for support of his cam paign, and denounced this tn emphatic terms. Mayor Simon's friends were surprised at the spontaneous response of the pub lie yestsrday, following the announce ment of BU candidacy for re-election. For a time In th forenoon the Mayor was literally overwhelmed with tele phone calls, telegrams and personal vis its from those wishing him success. Ths telephones In the executive office at th City Hall wer busy for hours, people from all sections of tbe city calling him to express their wish that hs accede toj the demands of ths dtlxens In general and make the race. Men wbo were temporarily absent from the city, reading tbe announcement In the newspapers, telegraphed their best wishes and asked Mayor Simon to eon sent to run as aa Independent. From all parts of the city men tele phoned to the Mayor, assuring him that. If he would but consent to run. they would not only vote for blra. but would "get out and work" for him. In many cases men would not glv their names, but would state their po litical affiliation. Among these were Democrats and other party men. showing that th demand for an Independent can didate to oppose Rushlight Is not eon fined to Republicans, but Is general among all classes of citizens At the headquarters of the eltlsene committee. 16 Stark street, this was exemplified repeatedly yesterday, when well-known Democrats went In and signed the petitions aaklng Mr. Simon to be an Independent candidate. M anas-. r Reed waa assured by many of these that they were glad to have an opportunity to affix their signatures aa they regarded Mayor Simon aa the best man for the position and would not care to vote for the party nominees. The generous response of men m all walks of Ufa in signing the petitions carried by the circulators again served to demonstrate the general de sire for a strong man to oppose the party nominee. Thla waa one of the surprising features of the day'a work of the cltizena' committee. They had rwtaii to secure a few hundred Slg' v..tr.. hut in obtain more than 1000 In a slogle afternoon exceeded their hopes and demonstrated beyond doubt that there waa a popular demand for an Independent. Th. work of orranlxlna- tha citizens' ennnltta la onlT Started. It la planned to have a large, representative managing committee. This will be nrinToaad of men who are influential in th. i.irv'a affairs and who aee the urgent necessity of a continuation of a aane business sominiatxauon.
