After one of . the most spectacular campaign in the history of this municipality the forces are lining up for the battle of ballots to de - cide the issue of graft or anti-graft which : has been the key note of a remarkable canvass between the .two elements of ' the community as candidates between the fusion Democratic , candidate and the Republican standard bearer John is. -art-ridge, who is a young lawyer and who has made a brilliant and stirring appeal for reform in all of the departments of the city goverment in opposition to the union labor candidate Eugene E. Schmitz who is now serving his second 'term. The interest of the campaign is unpre cedented. .. The registration reaches a total of 90,000 as against 27,000 at tht previous elections. Lined up for Schmitz are 3200 saloons and 2000 of the em ployes of the city and organized labor all under the leadership of Abraham Ruef. a former Republican boss, but now cham pion of the Schmitz forces. Against Ruei as boss, a reform fight has been directed. The fusion managers today claim the election of Partridge by from 6000 to 6000 basing their figure's on the high registration and the aroused sentiment which has been demonstrated 'against bossism and municipal corruption. Heney this morning refused to discuss what the grand jury would probably do but added "if I ever start in after Ruef I'll land him in . the penitentiary."

HENHY IN THE FIOHT The political utterances of Francis J Heney who as agent of the government has been prosecuting the Oregon Land frauds, at the Mechanics pavillion Sat urday night injected a sensational feature into the campaign Heney , made ... specific, charges of graft against the present administration and said that Ruef was the man who is responsible and said Ruef was a grafter and that he could prove it.
