ARI ALL CONFIDENT.
Main Fight Will Center In I lection sf

Big Vsts lipoctsd.
With three candidates In ths Seld for
Mayor, an unusual Interest has been
aroused In ths annual city election to
be held here December I. Jamas V.
Campbell, republican nominee Chat. Al
bright Independent Cltisens; snd Dr. E.
A. Sommer, Cltluns, sre tb three can
didates. Each I a Republican. Camp
bell was nomlnsted on a platform that
declares for ths placing of party respon
sibility in the admin let ration of ths muni
cipality. Sommer snd Albright are op
posed to introducing politics Into city
affairs. Ths three candidates havt stated
that they do not believe In tb granting
to private corporations franchises In per
petuity. Mr. Albright thinks ths objectionable
ordinance can be modified to ths satis
faction of ths objections that hava been
offered to the end that th celebrated
South End Road may b completed at
th expense Y tb Southern Pactfls
Company, rather than by funds produced
by taxation.
But sine th Mayor does not have a
rots, except In esse of s tie, which rarely
occurs, since there srs nine members of
the council, tbt election of thst officer
wiU not really alter th situation with
respect to a commutation of ths pending
franchise dest But In the election of
three counciimea ths situation la differ
ent and the franchise will be the real
Issue. The council has already passed
the franchise ordinance and Instructed
City Attorney Story to prepare a con
tract together with th plans and spec
ifications for ths performance of ths Im
provements required of the railroad com.
pany. These will be submitted to Cir
cuit Judge McBrlde with a moUon ask
ing for a permanent dlaeolvf ig of th
Injunction suit recently brought against
the council to restrain the granting of
ths franchise. Should Judge McBrlds
dissolve the Injunction, It Is Improbable
that th ateestary contract, plana and
specification required In the ordinance.
can be prepared and acted on before th
newly elected councilmen take their
teats In the council In January. With ths
retirement of Kelly. Sheahan snd Story,
the council stands 4 to I for the fran
chise. A majority voce of the counc'l
Is required for the ratification of th con

The fight of the franchise people to

-"a Koaa paramount to au
other issues. In seeking to accomplish
the re-election of Councilman 8tory, th
South End Road people will be aided by
the Southern Pacific Company, the Ore
gon Water Power Railway Company,
and the Oregon City Manufacturing Com
pany. '
If the pending Injunction Is made per
peeual by Judge McBrlde, further delib
eration on the subject by the 'council
will be dispensed with. But should th
injunction be 'dissolved, the fight against
the granting of the franchise will by no
means be abandoned. The validity of
the passage of the ordinance will be at
tacked It is said, for "he reason that at
the time It was passed Aldermen Kelly
and Story, who voted for the franchise,
were residing In Wards other than those
from whiclfthey were elected, which, It
is claimed, disqualified them from fur
ther participating in the deliberations of
the council.
The members of the committee ap
pointed at the cltisens' Indignation meet
ing are resolved to exhaust every honor
able means to defeat the apparent deter
mination of the members of the council
to conclude a transaction against which
there exists a strong public sentiment.
