The final Installment of the petition nominating Mayor Pinion, with slgna ture aggregating 4975. was filed with City Auditor Parbur at 4 o'clock yes terday afternoon by Henry E. Reed. who I managing the cltisena commit tee, which brought about the nomine Uon of Mayor elm on as aa Independent candidate. The petitions are noteworthy because of the character of the men signing them. &Bn the petitions as closely as one may. anil the signature of the parasites t t Infest the North End and other direputable quarter of th rlty are conspicuous by their absence. On the other hand, an Inspection of the signers d's?loea a most representative list of homeowners, particularly In the suburban districts: business men i siding on both aide of the river and men of affairs generally with a liberal sprinkling of laboring men whose con cern for a sane, business administra tion of the city' affairs surpasses their allegiance to any scheme for deliver Ing tliem and their aupport to the can dldacy of any one man without tbelr consent. Campaign to Be Aggressive. Mr. Reed expect tomorrow or aoon afterward "to announce the names of the committee of 100 or 150 cltlxens who will direct the campaign in behalf of Mayor Simon's candidacy. The cam paign In aupport of Mayor Simon will open In thorough earnest Monday. De lls of the prospective committee plan are not ready for announcement but the campaign will be a thoroughly aggressive one, th. one objective fea ture of which will be to get out the fullest possible vote. The success of the movement requires that every cltlxen who tan "I for good. clean government, law enforcement and business administration ahall go to the polls and register hi choice for Mayor for the ensuing two years. It la this class of voter on whom the success or the movement to re-elect Mayor Simon depends largely. NEWIND 9 SIMON IS SELECTED PORTLAND CITIZENS LOCD PKAISE OP CANDIDATE.

Nominal too 1 Accepted. Tve f.llrg et Mayor Slmna'a nomi nating petition waa accompanied by the "Simon" the man." Thl was the universal Indorsement of Portland clttaen Interviewed yester day as to Mayor Simon's candidacy as the Independent-Commission Govern ment candidate In opposition to A. G. Rushlight for Mayor. The following nthusiastto Indorsements of Mayor Si mon's candidacy for re-elcctlon were volunteered: J. G. Mack I usually support regu larly nominated Republican candidate In city elections. Tl.li time necessity as arisen for an Independent candl- at. While there may be other men equally capable of serving the people of Portland as Mayor. Mr. Simon ap pear to be the only on available at this time. He should be elected. J. IL Tage The citizens of Portland hould re-elect Mayor Simon, and I think they will. C. K. Zllley When I learned that Mayor Simon might be Induced to be come an Independent candidate for Mayor. I lost no time signing one of Ms petitions. He surely should be re elected. W. H. Mt Monies Mayor Simon Is the only man before the people who should be elected Mayor. We know him to be a safe man. Under the circumstances and the condition confronting the city, be la the logical man for Mayor. J. D. Abbott lir re-electing Mayor Simon, the people of Portland will not be taking any chances. Phil Metschsn Apparently th peo ple of Portland are alive to the situa tion, and for that reason favor the re election of Mayor Simon. Rev. C. E. CI tne Mayor Simon has made the best Mayor the City of Port land has bad during a.y long residence here. 1 believe he Is a square man and a man of affair. It I such a man that Is needed for Mayor. R S. Pague I am thoroughly In ac cord with Mayor Simon and his policies. There la no question of his ability to cope with every municrpal question and give to the city a strictly square, hon orable and business-like administra tion. J. A. Clemenson I believe Mayor Si mon has given the City of Portland a thoroughly faithful and honest adminis tration, lie la O. K.. and Is to be in trusted with the further management of city affairs. II- D. Kilham I regard Mayor Simon as the best representative of the busi ness Interests there Is before the peo ple today. The office of Mayor of Port land I a big Job. and It takes a big man to till It- Unquestionably. Mayor Simon Is th man best fitted for the place, and hould be re-elected. L Lang I have served under Mayor Simon as Park Commissioner for two year, and have had an opportunity to observe his business qualifications at close rang. In handling tbe affairs of this elty, be has endesrored to exerclss the same economical management as he would In his private business. It Is an Impossi bility for aim or any other Mayor to pb'ase all the peopie. There are many different factions In this city, and each doubtless thinks that the Mayor should administer the affairs of the city la ac cordance with its views. Mayor Simon has bren criticised for things that are beyona hi control. He has worked under an obsolete charter, which is Isrgely to blame for some of these crttlclslme. No Mayor that Port land has ever had has accomplished so much for our city a has Mayor Simon. Critlcisim have been aimed at the engineering department, but let us look at the street work that has been done under the Simon administration, and the other work bandied by the En gineering Department, with the chief engineer drawing a salary of but l.'OO a month. No city In thl country, doing th amount of work that Portland ha don In the past few year. Is paying a city engineer so sma.I a salary. I believe the Engineering Department can be Improved If the charter permit ted the employment of higher-salaried men. but 1 think It would be difficult to find a man who will satisfy the peo ple st a salary of 1200 a montn. I hay observed street work In many of the large Eastern cities, and I will say that much of th work done In our city Is of a better Fy ie tl sn that don in many Eastern municipalities. It Is easy to criticise public officials. but It must not be overlooked that they are expected to govern our city along the line laid down by our city charter. EPE1ENT CANDIDATES OUT Except for Mayor, Nominees for Leading Offices Are Almost Unopposed. COUNCIL PLACES SOUGHT Election of Baker, Daly and Jen nlngs as CounclImcn-at-Large Is Assured Five Running Against Ellis. Aside from the nomination of Mayor Simon as a candidate to succeed him self, three independent candidates for municipal offices to be elected Monday, June s. developed In the Portland mu nictpal situation yesterday.

Democrat, only member of the minority party la the present City Council, as an Inde pendent candidate to succeed hlmsei ss Councilman from the Klrat Ward and William Schmeer. Republican, who run as an Independent candidate against K. K. Kubll. regular Republican noml nee, for re-election to the Council from the Eighth Ward. In addition to the nominees or tn Prohibitionist and Socialist parties. which have nominated virtually com plete ticket covering all city office. there will be three candidates io; Mayor, as follow: A.

Of the auurtet. all but Adams were nom Inated for their respective offices by the Democrats. The other three" ac ceded the Democratic nominations. In the case of Adams. Republican nominee foe citv Treasurer. H. C. Allen, one of Adams' opponents In the primaries, received the Democratic nomination for the same office. Mr. Allen declined to accent the nomination or tne demo cratic party, leaving Adams unopposed, excent bv the Socialist nominee. For Councllman-at-l-arge tor in two-vear term, to succeed 1 noma i. Devlin. John H. Rurgard. the Repub lican nominee, will be without oppoi tlon. Ralph C. Clyde, who was nom nated by th Republicans to complete the unexpired two-year term of Gay Enmbar.l. will be opposed oy c u. uag ett. Democrat, running a an inue n.nilent. Two year ago Mr. Dnggett was th Democratic nominee for Sheriff acalnst Robert L. blevens, incumoeni of that office. Elections Are Assured. The three Republican candidates for Councllmen-at-Largc. four-year terms. will have no opposition, insuring their iseiinn. Tbese three candidates are George L- Baker. William IL Daly and J. J. Jennings. All three received the Iemocratlo nomination, in addition to the Indorsement of the Republican vo ters. Of the three, however. Daly failed to file his acceptance of the Democratic nomination, and will run as the Repub lican nominee only. The ajames of Maker and Jennings will appear on th official ballot as Republican-Democratic nominee for the office to whlcb they aspire. In the First Ward. Jordan V. Zan. tha rerular Republican nominee for Councilman, will be opposed by Tom N. Monks, who wa nominated by the Democrats In the primaries, and T. J. Concannon. Democrat and retiring" Councilman from that ward, who seeks re-election ss an Independent, having been defeated in the primaries. Con cannon was included by Gay Lombard In his list of "undesirable" Councilman, as they were classified by Lombard during the primary campaign. Con cannon filed his nominating petition as an Independent candidate at the last minute yesterday. Frederick S. Wilhelm. Republican, and A. J. McCabe, Democrat, both regu larly nominated nominees of their re spective parties, will contest for the election to the Council to succeed George L. Baker, the retiring Council man from that ward and now nominee for Councllman-at-Large. Montae; Hits Indorsement. The contest for Councilman in the Sixth Ward Is between Henry A. Beld Irsr. incumbent and nominee for re election, and John Montag, Democrat, who ha received the Indorsement of the antl-Br-ldlng Republicans In that section of the city. Allan R. Joy.

Hot days may kill your horse. Wet and icy days may break its leg. Bad weather of any kind will de lay your horse-wagon delivery so that you CANNOT give the kind of service YOUR CUSTOMERS SHOULD RE CEIVE. But hot days or icy days make NO difference to steel and wood. All days are alike to an - automobile. In bad weather one automobile delivery wagon will do the work of five or more horse, drawn wagons. In the best weather one automobile delivery wagon will do the work of three horses. This means three less horses and two less men. All labor is the biggest expense nowadays. In rush days when you must cover extra territory and make late deliveries your automobile will never know when supper times comes. And when you ARE through there are no chores to at tend to; no horse to put out; no feed ing; no bother; just run your delivery wagon under cover and lock the door. The mere fact that you have an auto mobile delivery wagon will mean more advertising for you than you can ever figure out, and this is entirely outside of the fact that'you can give prompter service in the way of quicker deliveries, and surer deliveries, regardless of weather. Sunday morning there are no tired horses that must rest all day, but a con vertible automobile delivery wagon, the sides of which take off in two seconds, aa extra rear seat is put on in three seconds, and you and your family can ride from sunrise to sunset at no ex pense (save the little gasoline you use), because the extra service and saving the automobile gives yon IN YOUR BUSI NESS has more than paid for the initial expense. .

"I can see the danger the mischief in the recall, where SS per cent of the votera at the last election can petition for a new election, but in the case of Tacoma I believe another recall Is far from imminent. A smooth-working Coun cil without any friends to reward or enemies to punish will satisfy the aver age citizen. For a long time I believe the people will frown upon the sugges tion of a recall. The conditions all favor a successful administration If the com missioners are endowed with even a little tact, and I think they are.

SIOXTAG GAIXS SUPPORTERS Democrat Wins Applause at Rcpub' lican Club Steeting. Determined Is the opposition of i large number, of Republicans In the Sixth Ward against the re-election of Henry A.

Democrat, who has been indorsed by this club for election against Belding,' was present and la the announcement of his plat' form elicited much applause. Mr. Mon tag assured his supporters that If he were elected to tbe Council h would pledge himself to the following prin ciples: "A clean and honest administration of the city's business; free access of the people to the Council Chamber at all meetings: no street vacations for private interests without an equiva lent; no franchises without proper re strictions of forfeiture and limitations; building a bridge across the Willam ette in South Portland; competition in all paving contracts and full value for money expended; the general upbuild ing of the city in a legitimate manner; commission form of government; faith fully and fearlessly to carry out the wishes of the taxpayers of the Sixth Ward and the best interests of the whole city and the elimination of graft-" Mr., Montag has been a manufacturer in this city for many years and is fa vorably and well known.

Suggestion of such an arrange ment, published in The Oregonlan yes terday, received the Indorsement of supporters of each of the three candi dates of Msyor. it is a recognized fact that hundreds of voters In the city will be able to vote In tha June election only by swearing their votes in, unless an op portunity to register or to change reg. Istratlon already made la provided. It is a great Inconvenience for an elector to swear In his vote since it entails sacurins; six freeholders to make the necessary affidavit as to his qualifica tions. It has been decided to submit to the City Council at its meeting Wednes day the question of re-opening the reg istration books. It is believed the gen eral demand on the part of citizens will Insure favorable action by that body, which must take the iniatlve in requesting the County Court to arrange for thereglstratlon of careless and de linquent voters. contract on which he is now engaged Is the construction of a flume tunnel 4700 feet long, between tthe Big and the Little Sandy Rivers for the Mount Hood Railway & Power Company.
