Our Candidate for President
JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER
Of Ohio
THE LAHOH VOTE.
There Is a good deal of talk about
the "labor vote which Is estimated
by politicians nt a good deal moro
thnn It Is worth In ovory campaign,
for It cannot bo held together, except
t.oihnnB. In vorv rnro" casoH. Thero
nro laboring men of all sorts of opln-
Ions, tho samo ns other men. Somo
of them nro nnarchlsts, n largor num-
bor nro socialists, somo stick to ouo ,
or tho other of tho old parties nnd
on election day nnd primary day,
their votes scattor. Tho colored
mon's voto Is or may bo of moro lm
portnnco In a largo town for thoy nro
nlmost unanimously republicans, but
If thoy get together to voto against
one or moro republican nomtnecs,
ovory voto practically counts two,
nnd thoy may hold tho balancu of
power.
It Ih said thnt n cortain domocrnt
Is holding off In tho mnttor of run
ning against Mnyor Lano In tho prim
aries to nco If ho enn bo assured of
tho labor voto. This ho never can
bo nssurod of, nnd If ho could get It
nnd thereby bent Lano for tho nomi
nation It would bo n bad thing for
him, for any ropubllcnn whatever
would beat him overwhelmingly. Ills
candidacy would bo n travesty. Lano
Is tho only man thnt tho domocrntH
linvu tho slightest posslblo cliunco of
electing, nnd this Is n very slim ouo.
lint, howover, that may bo tho "labor
voto" Is not what It has boon cracked
up to bo.
Mr. CofTeo has been put forwnrd
by Homo or tho labor unions, but
thero nro inuttorlngfl of groat dissat
isfaction among other unions. Mr.
Devlin Is no doubt quietly courting
tho labor voto and so oro others
but It Ib n weak reed to rely upon.
I'osslbly n man who would como out
llatfnotcd ngalnst so-culled union ty
ranny would stand ns good n chanco
its tlio ouo who struggles nnd smiles
nnd bows and scrapes to plcnso tho
laboring man during n campaign.
Till: MAYOH WILL HUN
Mayor Lano, much to tho disap
pointment of n fow iimbltlouH but
unwlso democrats, has announced his
candidacy for n Bocond torm, but on
u platform that Is not ngroeablo to
said democrats, who think ho should
hnvo appointed only democrats to
positions. Hut by whoso votes was
ho elected? lly Uioso of moro repub
licans than democrats. Then did not
tho republicans who elected him have
a right to somo lecognltlon? What
sort of treatment would It hnvo been
aftor recolvlng tho votos of thousands
of republicans to say thnt under no
circumstances could any ropubllcnn
hold nn olllco or get a Job of any
kind under his administration? This
Is what theso few democrats de
manded that ho should do, nnd If ho
had no democrat would probably
havo over had tho slightest "Binell"
In thla city for yoars, Tho domocratB
In this city nnd county caBt about
ouo-fourth or loss thnn ono-third of
tho votes, nnd they ought to bo
mighty thankful to got nlno-tenths,
or two-thirds, or oven ono-half of
tho Jobs. It It had not boon for re
publican votes thoy might not havo
had ono nt nil for n majority mayor
is undor no such obligation to the
other side as ono of n small minor
ity party.
Tho mayor may bo credited with
slncorlty about serving tho people,
nnd yet recognized hi his lottor to
tho domocrats as playing for republi
can support again. No doubt ho will
get somo, but a good deal that ho
got two years ago ho may not get
I EDITORIAL I
kind of a man.
SENATOR FOKAKER.
Senator Fornkcr hnB nnnouncod
thnt ho w'1' rccommGntl t1l holillng
of primaries ltl Ohio thnt shall not
only olect members of a state conven
tion but thnt shall also voto on can
didates or choice for senator nnd for
president. Ohio haB no primary law
like that of Oregon, so the expression
ns to scnntor and president would
not bo binding at all, but it would be
significant and Impressive, and would
Indicate whether tho voters of Ohio
Roosevelt not being considered
prefer Fornkcr or Taft for president.
Scnntor Fornkcr says that In all his
public record there is nothing to con
ccnl or npologlzo for, nnd as much ns
intimates that whllo making no fight
against Taft, ho would like tho Ohio
voters to dccldo between them, np-
imrontly confident that ho could win.
.Ohio has n largo colored vote, and
whllo thero Is nothing ngalnBt Taft,
nnd ho Is recognized ns n fit 7ind
nblo man, this voto would no doubt
bo mostly thrown to Fornkcr, partly
in consideration of his nctlvo orforts
In behalf of tho mlBtrcoted, not to
Bay outraged Drownsvlllo soldiers.
Tho colored pcoplo of tho country
will miss no opportunity to support
tho man who courageously took tho
part of tholr brothron.

ho will undoubtedly recelvo tho ro-

Apparently It doesn't pay for any

doesn't. Hut It Is a pity that some

PEOPLE'S CHOICE
Louis Zimmerman, Popular Bus
iness Man, Out for Re
publican Nomination
as Mayor.
STANDS AS THE REPRESENTATIVE
OF THE PEOPLE
vs.
PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATIONS
His Reputation and Record as a

Clean Administration
"If I am nominated and elected, I will
during my term of olflce, conduct a

ciples for all business Interests."
Mr. Zimmerman's Platform.
A GOOD MAN FOR MAYOR.
Mr. Louis Zimmerman, formerly
councilman from tho Sixth ward, nnd
well known businoss mnn, is being
urged by u legion of friends nnd admir
ers who dcslro that he allow tho uso of
his namo in connection witlt tho may
oralty contest.
Tho friends of Mr. Zimmerman
claim, and it cannot bo denied, Ijiat
hu is prc-cminontly tho strongest man

yet named for tho olllco of inn) or, and
thnt ho will bo a suro winner.
Thero aro muny reasons why tho vot
ers would rally to tlio standard of louia
Zimmerman, tho principal ones of
which are:
First His high personal character
and acknowledged lit need foi tho olllco.
Second His honorable record and
usefulness ns n member of the city
council.
Third His general popularity and
acceptability to all elastics of citizen?.
In the Boloctlon of a candidate for
tho important olllco of mayor of u great
and growing city like Portland, too
much cure cannot be exorcised.
It is highly important that tho nom
inee of tho Republican party who
most assuredly will bo tho noxt mayor
should bo a clean, nblo and experi
enced buslnewsanan. This is necessary,
particularly at this time when the need
of a genuine business administration
of tho affairs of the city is imperative,
Tho peoplo have grown tired, and
fully realize tho-futillty of placing tho
affairs o( the oity in the bauds of poli
ticians, Thoy want tho same standard
of oibeienoy and honesty in a public
oflloial that corporations and individ
uals demand from their officers and
managers. And why shouldn't thoy
hvno it?
Mr. Zimmerman bollovos thnt n
"public office Jb n public trust," and
not a private snap; that tho people,
who are the employers, aro entitled to
the concicrtlous and faithful service of
its eorvnntfl.
Mr. Zimmerman is able, energetic
and progressive, and his wide experi
ence In business nnd municipal affairs
admirably fits him for tho high offices
to which his many friends dealro him
elevated.
Lculfl Zimmerman Is an ideal candi
date, and if nomlnntcd would bo elected.
Tho mention of Bomo mon for
mayor In tho dnlly nowspapers causo
a good many smiles, and causo others
who never thought of such a thing
before to wonder If thoy might not
ns well bo "mentioned" too.
Perhaps it might bo as well for
themselves for tho members of tho
council who go out of.ofllco July 1
not to run ngaln. Somehow tho peo
ple don't seem to bo stuck on tho
present council.
Thoso mischief makers who camo
to Portland to stir up troubto nmong
tho mill hands owo tho city about
half n million dollars but of courso
thoy neltber can nor will pay nny
thlng. It Is being whispered about to
finite an cxtont nlready that Senator
Pulton will not hnvo a wnlkovor by
any moans In tho primaries noxt yonr
but will encounter strong opposition.
Dr. Droughcr would bo wiser to
conflno hlmsolf to tolling sVorlcs nnd
making motions nnd novcr nttompt
anything In tho lino of nrgumont. Ills
head was not built for that.
Probably Mayor Lano would like
to wait nnd sco whom tho republicans
noinlnnto for mayor, but ho can't un
less ho comes out later as nn Inde
pendent. Tho mnyor really Is not treating
tho democrats qulto right In not say
ing whether ho will run or not. nut
thoy may protly safoly nssumo 'that
ho will.
Everybody In olllco or who havo
boon in olllco Is suro thoro has novor
been any grafting in Portland to
amount to anything.
