in tho pronor framo of mind to
tako caro of everything in sight.

if It would bo satisfactory, and
Mr. Walker replied that it would
scarcely bo onough yet. Then
ho was asked if three blocks

ho was individually concerned
it would. Mr. Walker stated
that tho three additional blocks
proposed aro double blocks and
would total something over
seventeen acres and extending
from Lombard street to Hudson

that it was the intention to mako
Central avonuo a dividing lino
with the Lombard Ptroet side

that three short streets would

THE POLITICAL POT
By P. J. Kupfor.
April 12 is tho latest date
which fiominntinR petitions or

election to national and stntaof
fices, judges of tho circuit court,
I district attorneys, stato senators
!nnd representatives shall bo

I April the 17th is tho last day for
filing for county offices and
district and precinct offices wit
tho county clerk.
According to tho above dates
for candidates to declare them
selves for office, wo aro of tho
opinion thnt this week will find
ovory one who is inclined to run
for office ready to jump into the
free-for-all-game.
Among tnosc wiio aro now
playing tho martyr for human
ity's sake wo might mention
few of them as to their nunlifi
cations, o'tc. For Secretary of
State thcro are now four candi
dates in tho field, in fooling
out tho sontimcnt ' off hand'
thoro seems to be tho genera
opinion that Mr. Shulderman
will bo tho leading man in tho
the race. Being a resident of
Portland all his life, ho has
naturally made many friends and
nartng been corporation com
missioner for six years makes
him u very formidablo opponent.
I would not bo surprisod but thnt
ho will carry tho stato by an
overwhelming majority.
"Tom" Swesnoy has nnnounc
ed himself for Congressman and
I anticipate a pretty warm timo
in tho next fow weeks. Ah
understand, "Pat McArthur is
coming out to personally super
viae his campaign and has givon
advance notice to all hiu old
henchmen to keep hands off.
When Pat gets hot under tho
collar and makes up his mind to
wako up. look out for tho firo
works. Eugene Smith has ulso
begun to meander around tho
different clubs and organizations
expound nor- his views on tho
dilutory methods of office hold
ers und congressman in parti
ular. A littlo later wo will
have a hotter "insight" of who
may bo tho successful candidato
for this insignificant office. It
scorns that candidates shy for
congressional honors. Wo can
not fathom tho reason unless it

Office 208 South Jersey,
. 1 U..J-. l"l - ml,
is tho II. C. L., as only a paltry
salary is attached to it and it
costs just as much in Washington
for a connressman to livo as it
docs a senator.
Congratulations to our old
friends "Hob" Stanfiold and
"Gcorffo" Chamberlain. No
worry and a "pipe-cinch." Tho
votar will have somo difficulty
in extracting the humor out of
his ballot when it cornea to cast
ing his or her vote.
.In previous letter wo hinteds
at certain candidates who havo
a stock of "slogans" on hand to
bum foozle tho public, but wo
havo come across a good one
this timo that 1 bcliovo is meant
with sincerity and honosty.
It's by William A. Cadwoll, who
is n ropublican candidato for
assessor. Ho states on his cards
that ho will work for lower tax
es and fair assessments. If he
will do that and Bhow his uood
faith ho ought tobeelccUd. Mr.
CadTTolI is well known through
out tho county and ho intends to
mako it pretty lively for his
opponents.
John IS. Kelly. Mr. Muck, tho
proscnt incumbent, and Mr.
Chas. Huduen ar goint to mix
up matters very seriously, no
I understand, for the oftico of
county commissioner. Why
this should be auk mo not. Thar
aliot much salary attached to
this office, but thoro is great
deal of work, which theso gentle
men arc and havo bean doing
most all of their lives. In fact
they "eat-lt-un." and osuecinlly
Mr. Hudson, who is tha best of
nil of them whon it comas to eat
ing raw meat. Mr. Kelly iu a
vory nlfnblo gentlonun and
would make n cood commiss
ioner. Mr. Muck has been on
tho job all tho time, oo ha says.
ami if that is tho caio ho likes
tho work moro than ho doo tho
salary. Mr. Kudcon i one of
tho most energetic citizens in
Portland and durinr hiu rostd
enco hero hni accumulated quite
a fortune. Ila dots not care for
tha salary but hai certain ideas
n his mind which ho wants to
enrry out for tho benefit of tho
nubile welfare. Mr. Kudean
taa been successful and in nil of
lis undertaking in bus ncss has
mado it a ml lo play the game
lonest and above board.
Stanley Meyers, tho denuty
city attorney, is going to get at
tor Walter Evans' icxlp. Ho
isu announcod himiclf as
candidate for tho republican
nomination of district attorney.
Stnnloy is n pretty good chap
and knows his profession. lie
iti had coniidorabl experlonc
n municipal matters and in cane
te should beat Mr.Kvani to it in
irimariea it will be of groat ad

Mr. Evans hai had two terms
