THE SUJiDAi: OKEtiOJQAI?. FOKTLAJVD. MAT 26. 1907. 9 LANE'S ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE Mayor States Basis of Claim for Re-election as City's Chief .Executive. POINTS TO HIS RECORD Declare He Has Remained Stead fast to People's Interests, Always Trying to Make Portland a Decen Place to Live In. Mayor Lane yesterday issued a state ment addressed to the people of Port land In which he sets forth the basis of his claim for re-election. The statement follows: To the People of Tortland: Being at this time a candidate before you tor re-election to the position with which you honored me two years ago I deem it not improper to make a. brief statement of some matters which I hope "In a0tSV8aUyeit08hr 8tate plainly the SJSlrSd Vn -XCadf irtra'tior Jn5fr affairs, and make clear and bejond all Snestion what you may confidently rely upon from me In the event that you de cide to again entrust me with them. Bv way of parenthesis. I will say mat 1 believe that a deep obligation rests upon vou to exercise great care in the selec tion of those whom you place in po sitions of trust over you and that no con sideration. Other than the proper ad ministration and conservation of the rights of the people as a whole should govern In such selection. As a candidate at the last election I declined to allow myself to be hampered .with anv pledges or promises to any in terests which were inimical to yours, and the only promise which 1 did make was the one which I made to you. that I would at no time depart from thai rule, nor have 1 done so. Xot Bound by Promises. At this time, having again declined to allow mvself to be bound or hampered in any manner which would operate to restrict my usefulness to you, or my re spect for myself in the event that 1 was elected to ofriee, and having been ac cepted as a candidate upon that platform, I am before you asking for your indorse ment on the broad ground that absolute and unswerving devotion to the people s interests as a whole, regardless of the claims of any and all others, is the plain duty which every public servant owes to vou. and is the only platform upon which he has the right to ask for your suffrage. Cheap claptrap and meaningless catch phrases, or sonorously enunciated princi ples of glittering generalities which no where state anything in particular or tie to anything definite, and carefully abstain frm doing so, are an insult to. your .in telligence. lour affairs are of much importance and great value. You possess many rights and other assets which are eagerly .fought after. Much money is to be made if certain interests are allowed to evade vour laws. Even if others are permitted to obtain exclusive -rights and privilege to the use of your property. Insidious is the approach and eminent n'.2' nvch smells 8&Ve- 0wii the rights which be lor.g to you. Heavy the pressure and almost lrresistable the force which bears down in the prying search for a footing; for the fulcrum which will shift your safeguards aside; and I have learned to know the amount of backbone which is requisite to resist the efforts which are thus employed. After entering upon .the affairs of the office, I found much to .J.o in your be half, and in some things I have suc ceeded and in others I .have failed .to accomplish as much as I have wished, yet It is but just on your part to re member that I have received but little help, and at times met with much op position in quarters where you and I had the reason and right to expect different treatment and the responsibility In such cases is due to rest where it belongs. Carefully feeling my way. trying to do the right, reaching out for aid from any quarter which would enlighten or assist me in the preservation of your rights, and the just and equitable en forcement of the laws to all alike. I have gone along on my way regardless of what the effect of that line of conduct should be upon me or mine. Made City Decent to Live In. tn the effort to properly safeguard your affairs that through me no loss or shame might come to you. I have carefullv sur rounded myself with men of known in tegrity whose welfare is bound up with yours, with no policy withheld from the people. Among other things I have tried to make your city a decent and safe place to raise your children, and have set up the rights of the fathers and mothers and the little homes about the city as being of greater importance than were those of the gambler and the harlot and such as live by giving aid and comfort to them. I have deemed the rights and holdings and other assets of the people to be of more value to the community than was the acquirement of riches bv such pre datory sharpers as have sought bv one Ingenious scheme or another to secure unjust possession of the same. In the pursuit of the course here outlined by me. and working along these lines It has been my misfortune to part company with quite a number of pretty warm per sonal friends, and to nnd mvself de barred from many pleasant associations , formerly open to me. In looking over the situation at this time in addition to a number of good citisens reasonably small I hope who honestly differ with me for one reason or another and to whom all respect Is due, you will find the different predatory in terests and those mostly concerned in their welfare fighting beak and claw to defeat me In the coming election and it is my belief that the matter Is worthy of your careful and serious consideration. Inasmuch as these persons and these interests are of the type Which, as a rule require to know quite well -what there Is In It for them before embarking upon an undertaking of any sort the unanlmttr with which they are working against me at this time is also worthy of your serious consideration. . Steadfast Against Open Town. At any time during the past two years that I had let down the bars, or closed my eyes, r could have attached ' these gentry to me with hoops of steel, and they today would have been lined up for me. and against you, as solid as a stone wall. It would have meant some specious mouthings of "advantages to business to be derived from open-town methods" and the "Inducements which, should be held out to capital, on my part, yet have Kent a grist of your children to be milled into sorrow and. shame and have tied you for a generation to come to one-sided bargains the like of which have been visited upon you in the past under the same false and misleading guise and have cost you- minions, and will coat you millions more if you do not exercise due care in the choice of your public servants. At all times I have stood true to you and for the reason that I have done so much, money is being, and is to be ex pended to defeat me in which event recompense- will be wrung out of vou an hundred fold. HARRY LAN El CONDEMX SALARY INCREASE Sixth Ward Voters Also Oppose the Economy Gas Franchise. Twenty voters of the Sixth Ward assembled in the hall at First and Sheridan streets last night to discuss the proposed amendments to the city charter and. the several ordinances to be voted on next month. The meeting adopted a resolution, offered by Mark O'Neill, opposing the Economy Gas franchise and objecting- to increasing salaries of all city officers, with the exception of the City Engineer. An other resolution condemning the pro posed issue of 3,000,000 of bonds for another pipe line from Bull Run was tabled. The other measures will be considered at another meeting to be held next Saturday night. - P. J. . Mann was chairman of the meeting, TN'. C. Seachrest acting as sec retary. Mr. O'Neill spoke, attacking the proposed Increase in the salaries of the different city officers; alap the franchise proposed to be granted to the Economy Gas Company. "It will be safe." said Mr. O'Neill, "for every voter who has not made a study of these different measures to vote against every one of them. .In the aggregate they propose in increased bonded indebtedness of $5,256,000. Added to this must be placed the in crease in the salaries - which will amount to $48,000 annually, if all the amendments carry. This means an in crease in the city's interest account of 3361,000 per annum, or about $1000 a day, including) Sunday." Thomas Guinean attacked the pro posal to Issue water bonds to the amount of $3,000,000 for the double reason that he did not consider the city in need of the increased supply of water the additional pipe line would furnish, and because a part of the pro ceeds of the bond sale is to be ex pended for meters to -be placed in the homes o consumers. The resolution offered by Mr. Guinean, opposing this bond issue, was tabled until the meeting- next Saturday night. A. M. Hines and A. J. Fanno also participated in the discussion of the amendments. Citizens' Rally at Sell wood. A citizens' rally will be held at Stralilman's Hall, Sellwood, on the evening of May 29. Professor J. R. Wilson. Samuel Connell and A. F. Fle gcl will be among the speakers of the evening. Music will be furnUshed by Clifford's Band. The Sellwood Civic League Invites all Sellwood citizens. FflVDR-S THE RECALL PLAN MAYOR LAXE CLOSES WEEK AT MOXTAVILIA RALLY. Declares for System by Which Un worthy Public Officials Can Be Removed From Office. Mayor Lane closed his' campaign for the week by speaking at a well-attended meeting at Montavilla last night. .1. W. Higgins presided and the Elko Quartet rendered several selec tions. Mayor Lane spoke with more force than usual. He had been bn the platform almost every night since Mon day, but showed no signs of fatigue. He declared last night that he favored the "imperative mandate" for ousting unworthy public officers who fail to do their duty. He also discussed the Issues of the campaign and said that his platform was the same tut it was two years ago for the rights of the people. - "I have tried to make a clean city," said the Mayor, "but it has not been an easy Job. Tom Word had. the job I should have enjoyed. He closed up the gambling; houses; I have tried to do my frt in keeping them closed. Now, I don't expect the -nes 0f this class, or support from the rl light district, but I do think that I -am entitled to the votes and support of the home builders. The gamblers and the 'in terests' are not spending any money to secure my election." Mayor Lane talked for some time about franchises and franchise grab bers, and pointed out the necessity of curbing them. He said that If re elected he would do his best to prevent any more franchises being given away, and also to get back those that had been virtually stolen. John W. Jeffries spoke at length on the issues of the campaign and pointed out the necessity for divorc ing party politics from municipal af fairs. He said that both Mr. Devlin and Mayor Lane were members of the Charter Commission, which made spe cial provisions against city, elections being mixed up with political elections by fixing the time for holding the city election between the state and Na tional elections. Robert Andrews, candidate for Coun-ollman-at-Large, and A. A. Xadderly, candidate for Councilman from the Eighth -Ward, were present and made brief talks. Dr. L M. Davis was present, hot to discuss political Issues, but to speak urgin the voters to support the Bull Run pipe line and Madlson-brldge bond Issues and the district assessment plan for street Improvements. Henry Hanno Puts Up $2000 on Devlin Half the Bum Quickly Covered by Lane Supporter Danny Wetner Hrta $75 to "0 That Devlin Will Win. HENRT HANNO, of the saloon-keeping firm of Klrchner & Hanno, pro prietors of the Turn Halle saloon at Fourth and Yamhill streets, Friday deposited with Ed Schiller $2000 with Instructions that the whole amount be bet on Devlin at even money. As soon as the Lane followers heard of this there was a rush for the cigar store and already $1000 . of the money has been taken. So far this ia the only big money that has been bet on the outcome of the election, and the fact that this money was put up by a saloonkeeper Is being used by the Democrats as campaign capital. The only bet where odds have been given is a bet that Danny Weiner, an ex-detective, made. He has wagered $75 to $50 that Devlin will be the next Mayor. This bet was taken by a man whd refused to allow his name to be used. Late last night a man telephoned Schiller that he had $1000 to bet on Devlin and he prom ised that his money; in gold coin, would be ready for takers today. No end of bets of hats and suits of clothing have been made on the out come of the Mayoralty race, but so far very little money, considering the fact that the election Is only eight days away, has been placed. Usually the men who never take a hazard except on elections have, been in the betting field much earlier. This, the wise fol lowers of the political game say. is an indication that the Mayoralty race Is going to be one of the closest in the history. of the city.

SAYS LANE IS NOT ft TRUE REFORMER Devlin Scores His Democratic Opponent in the Mayor- , alty Race. PROMISES MANY CHANGES Asserts That Present Head of City Government Is Directly Respon sible for Shortcomings of Varl ous Municipal Departments. Thomas C. Devlin, candidate for Mayor; William M. Cake, chairman of the City Central Committee: J. P. Kavanaugh, candidate for City Attorney, ' and J. P. Kennedy were among the speakers at the Fifth Ward RepubMcan rally last night in the hall at the corner of Fourth and Mill streets. Mr. Devlin denied that he, or any other Republican candidate, was counting on the votes of the North End for suc cess, and declared that if Mayor Lane had been a genuine reformer he would have cleaned out that part of town so there would now be no slum votes to be had. Mr. Devlin also spoke on the necessity of well-paved streets, well cleaned, and said that if the health of the city Is not properly safeguarded it Is the fault of the Mayor, who appoints the members of the Health Board. "If the police protection is poor," he said, "it Is not the fault of the Council, but of the Mayor, who has the appoint ing of the police chief." "Up to the present time," said Mr. Dev lin, "the opposition party has not told you anything of what it expects to do should the men whom it supports be elect ed to office. They have not laid before you any plan by which they hope to make a better city government, either in the fire department, the street-cleaning de partment, the police department or any other department. Its policy from the beginning of the campaign has been one of hurling questions at our side of the house. Members of the Democratio party have questioned our honesty, but never our ability. They are saying that we ex pect to receive votes from the North End, but it will be noticed that they have said very little about the North End since one of their noted speakers told in glowing colors of conditions which exist there to day. - . Will Improve the Streets. "If I am elected, the hard-surface pavements of this city will be placed In perfect condition within 0 days. The money In the hands of the Council I sufficient for that purpose. If yon find that the streets are not in proper condition, the City Council is not to blame for it. but your Mayor and executive board. The Council f merely makes the appropriation, while, the Mayor and executive board let the con tracts. If you have Insufficient police protection. It is the fault of the Mayor, who has the appointing of the head of the Police Department. The same Is true of the Fire Department and of the Board of Health. I will begin a reform in the present unsanitary nrethod of . street cleaning the day I take office. "Tou have heard about the public service corporations, and that they are a rich and. grasping set A public service corporation meets a Mayor who has perhaps read five or six fran chisee In his life. It meets a Coun cil which has never given. much time to such questions. On the other hand It employs a lawyer who knows Just how to promise the city a great deal and give it very little, If I am elected Mayor I will go before the Council and the committees of the Council having In hand the matter of fran chises - and see that franchises, if granted, bring proper returns to the city." Hoodwinked by Democrats. "The Democrats are getting ex tremely chesty," aaid Mr. Cake. "In other words, 'stuck on themselves.' They have a Democratc Governor and a Democratic Mayor, and. want anoth er Democratic Mayor, a Democratio Senator and another Democratic Gov ernor. Next they will be trying to get a Democratic Legislature. The ques tion at the polls at this election, so far as the Democrats are concerned is positively a question of party. Bu they are trying to hoodwink us into believing that we should vote for tht man and the man .only. "Dr. Lane has had all the authority In the city for its protection from crime. Chief Grltzmacher can close up any-' place in this city operating In violation of the law. and which he chooses to close. It is his duty to do it, and Dr. Lane should stand upon his record. But they pass It up to us and say Mr. Devlin is being supported by the vicious element of the city, by the North End. "A large number of people In- this city believe that the North End has been reformed. . Do not be deceived, gentlemen. Go down and find out the condition of things for yourselves. If you do not find the North End reeking- Our New Hair Vigor Ayer's Hair Vigor was good, the best that was made. But Avers Hi 9 T T ers nair via or J NEW IMPROVED FORMUlA J is better.

AYER CO., Manufacturing Chemists, Lowell, Matt. with vice, upheld by Mayor Lane and by the Police Department, my name is not Cake. For the sickening condi tions yon find there-remember Mayor Lane is responsible. "Dick Montague is In the habit of getting his typewriter . going and wanting to know how much money we have and what we are going to spend It for. If I had a mind to tell him I would say that we have very little money, and intend to hang -onto It Just as long as wo can. But this is not as important a question as why the North End with its reeking haunts of vice exists under Mayor Lane's administra tion. - T hold in my hand the titles of 1W ordinances whicb Dr. Lane did not know enough about to attach to them his signature. Tou would think It very strange of you put a man In to run your business and then saw him shut up a number of important letters in his desk without looking at them, or without answering them. These ordinances have 11 been passed by the Council and have become laws without Mayor Lane's offl cial cognisance." Mr. Kavanaugh said that the men who won out on the Republican ticket at the primaries' were men not in league with the vicious element of the city. "Senator Gearln spoke of the terrible conditions to be found in the North End." he said, "and of those black forms float ing down as a soum on the tide. Why then does the Police Department permit those houses of disrepute to exist in the North End? If the Republican candidates are elected you may rest assured that one house will not be suppressed so that -another may receive more business. "Mr. Pipes has come out to work for Mayor Lane, and possibly some think that he also is a reformer. As a matter of fact he was leading counsel In attack ing the box ordinance when it was being put through. How is it that a change of heart has come so suddenly? Why is it that Dr. Lane gets a change of heart so suddenly? Why did he not get it during, his administration? "If Devlin is elected there will be no gambling in Portland. We stand for clean, honest and able government. Dr. Lane has occupied the position of a critic of the Council, but has not advo cated any general improvement in muni cipal affairs." Dr. W. I Cottell. candidate for Council man from the Fifth Ward, spoke briefly. ADVOCATED BY ENGINEERS Amendment for Examining Board Genea-ally Supported.. Engineers throughout the city favor the amendment to be submitted to the voters at the June election providing for a board of engineer examiners. The act is fa vored by the National Association of Stationary Engineers, and it Is pointed out that Portland is the only city of this size in the country which has not such a safeguard for human life and property. The amendment, as prepared, arranges the expense of the board so that It will not fall on the taxpayers, but will be self sustaining. The examiners would decide on the qualifications of each engineer in the city, and those who are not competent would not be permitted to operate engines. The result would be, say Portland engineers, that only competent men would be placed In charge of engines and the danger of explosions and accidents would be re duced to a minimum. The Importance of this is understood when It is learned that there .Are large numbers of boilers and engines In the heart of the city that are located under the siaewalks and which, should' they explode, would probably cause a large loss of life. It. is not1 the purpose of the amend ment, say Its friends, to legislate any one out of a job, but they say men who T)fa engines and manage boiler rooms should be fully qualified for their duty. Barbers." dentists, doctors, steamboat en gineers and others are required to pass examinations as to their qualifications, and It is contended that stationary en gineers should also pro ye their qualifica tions, when either ignorance or careless ness on their part would cause the loss ot life of many who have a right to ex pect protection. Engineers throughout the city are work ing for the passage of the amendment, and it is said the proposed change in the city charter will pass, but friends of the movement are anxious to secure Its pas sage ,Jeyond a doubt, and will be active 1 its support until the election. INQUEST DEVELOPS LITTLE Nobody Found to Blame for Brake , man Payne's Death. Coroner Flnley held an inquest yes terdsy afternoon over the body of Clarence Payne, the Tacoma brake man, who lost his life In the collision at Beatty Siding Friday night. The jury did not censure anyone for the accident, but the evidence showed that the freight train that crashed into a string ot loaded freight cars was back ing up at a dangerous speed. The train that was wrecked was the regular through freight to Seattle, and was in charge of Conductor William Bursey and Engineer E. Nelson, whose testimony at yesterday's inquest showed the train to which they were attached was being backed onto the siding "pretty fast," and in the dark ness, collided with a string of heavily loaded' freight cars. The frail caboose was wrecked and Payne crushed to death. Payne lived In Tacoma. His body will be shipped there for burial. His wife came over from the Sound last night ; -'"tg TT' YOU ARE MOST CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND A Free Lecture and Short hand Demonstration By Prof. C. L.

BEHNKE-WALKER BUSINESS COLLEGE REMEMBER THE HOUR SHY THEY WILL VOTE "NO" WAVERliY - RICHMOND PEOPLE OPPOSE TWO ORDINANCES. Think Proposed Issue of Bonds for Water and Fire Departments - Unjust to Suburbanites. .At a meeting of the 'Waverly-Richmond Improvement -Club held Friday evening, May 24, 1907. the following statement was adopted as expressing the views of said club with reference to the proposed ordi nance for the issuance of water bonds and also the proposed ordinance for bonds for flreboat and fire mains, to be sub mitted to the voters of this -city at the coming election: The Waverly-Richmond Improvement Club respectfully represents that for many years the people living in the suburban districts in this city, and within the city limits, have been paying water rates, which rates, together with those collected In other parts of the city, have been used very largely for the laying of water mains; that these mains have been principally laid In the more thickly set tled parts ot the city, until now the peo ple living In the thickly settled part of the city are completely supplied with water mains and water service: that the people living in the less thickly settled farts of the city have been compelled to ay service pipes, generally for consider able distances, and usually at great ex pense, and in addition thereto have con tinued to pay the regular rates for the use of water, with the hope and expecta tion that as these districts built up water mains would be supplied and service fur nished to them on the same terms and conditions as the mains have been laid and service furnished to the other and more thickly settled parts of the city. These districts are now greatly In need of more mains: they are growing very rapidly.

In addition to the water rates, taxes upon their homes, for the benefit of the city, and for which they have re ceived practically nothing in return. They have no fire protection, practically no police protection, have very . few llghtn, and have had to put up with and do the best they could with the few water mains which have been laid in their dif ferent districts; that the property in these outlying districts belongs, as a rule, to worklngmen and others of moderate or small means. That in the opinion of the Waverly Richmond Improvement Club It Is unfair and unjust, under these conditions, that at this time, when the people in these outlying. districts have earned their right to some benefits from the taxes they have for so many years been paying, and the water rates that they have been con tributing to the funds, which have gone into the construction of mains in other parts of the city, thev should now be compelled to pay the whole cost of mains laid for their benefit. The more thickly settled and wealthy parts of the city have been supplied with water mains at the public cost, or out of the general water funds, and as a matter of plain justice the people in the less densely settled parts of the city should be afforded the same privileges in regard to water supply that nave been afforded to the more densely settled and wealthy parts of the city. And this club does further represent that the provision in the ordinance to be submitted to the people of this city for the issuance of bonds for flreboat and Are mains, which provides that mains for Are protection should be laid in the business districts, for the benefit of capitalists and landlords who own the business property, should in justice be paid for bv the owners of such property. The property within these districts Is owned principally by the wealthy classes. The fire mains are solely for their benefit, and are not for the benefit of the city at large, and nothing could be more unjust or unfair than to require the working men who live in suburban, outlying dis tricts in this city to pay the whole cost of the mains necessary to supply their households with water, . when the mains for .the supply of the households of the wealthy people have been laid at public expense, and have it provided in addi tion that these mains for' fire protection for the business-houses of the wealthy. jsminaffliiiiiiannniiii'jiijiisiiiirciiiiraiii Breaking The Furniture Trust FEDERAL GRAND JURY TO INDICT THE FURNITURE TRUST The membere-of the jury were closeted all day reviewing the disclosures of the two weeks' in quiry into the practices of the so-called trust among the furniture dealers.
