BARBDR NEW AUDITOR
Clackamas County Man Wins and
Other Republican Candidates Suc
cessful Results of Hard
Fought Contest. v
Harry Lane, Democrat, was re
elected mayor of Portland, Monday,
in the hottest, most bitterly contest
ed election held in many years, and
one that excited nearly as much In
terest In Oregon City as In the me
tropolis. With the exception of a
councilman or two, all the other
officials elected are Republicans.
The main cause of Dr. Lane's re
election was bis good record during
his first term, and the. confidence
that he would continue to give a de
cent administration. While the aver
age voter realized Portland is a citf
and cannot be run in Connecticut
village style, yet a modicum of de
cency can prevail. A wide-open town
is not wanted by a majority of Port
land people.
One of the results highly gratify
ing to Oregon City people was the
triumph of A. L. Barbur for city audi
tor. Mr. Barbur Is a Clackamas coun
ty product, having been reared
near Rock Island, and is a brother
1 of R. T. Barbur, the well known clerk
of Willamette Tall3 camp, W. of W.
Devlin carried the west sido for
mayor by about 1000 but the east
side, where the "plain people" live,
rolled up a big majority for Lane
The total vote cast was 17,9J out
of 25,386 registered. Two years ago
the total vote cast was 14,597.
There was lots of Pevlin moeey
in evidence and It was freely used to
get out his full strength.
The following bond issues were
authorized:
$3,000,000 of water bonds;
$1,000,000 of park and boulevard
bonds.
$500,000 of dock bonds.
$450,000 of Madison street bridge
