1 V THE MORNRfe OREGONIA2?, TUESDAY,. XMASCH 28, 1905 T7 OUT FOR MAYOR Three Men Proclaim Their Candidacy. ALL ARE REPUBLICANS HS.-Rowe, Willis Fisher, and W. B. Glafke Aspirants, WILL ENTER PRIMARY RACE Ex-Mayor Rcrwe Declares He Will Enforce All Laws, While Fisher Announces He Is Opposed to . . the Tom Word Policy. Three men yesterday proclaimed them selves candidates for the Republican nom ination for Mayor H. S. Rowe ex-Mayor and general agent for the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul: "Willis Fisher, com mercial traveler; W. B. Glafke, commis sion merchant. With George II. Williams there are now four, avowed aspirants for the Republican nomination. "Enforcement of all the laws," says Mr. Rowe. "Xelther closed town nor open town,' ea s Mr. Fisher. "Business principles and a square deal," stys Mr. Glafke. Such are the platforms of the three aspirants. Other Republican candidates are ex pected to follow the lead of the three who ame out of the woods yesterday and to cease their sphinx-like silence, chief of them toeing H. R. Albee, standard bearer of the closed town element; George H. Howell, also of the closed town con tingent: Fred T. Merrill, opn town stal wart, and possibly Ralph W. Hoyt and Dr. S. B. Josephl. . Rowe preceded Williams In the Mayor's seat and retired from the City Hall near ly three years ago. Owing to the fact that during a large part of his adminis tration the town was open, some re-4Vn-mfri ViavA hpn lonklncr askance at his candidacy, but his friends point out that inasmuch as he naa no control over the police force under the old charter, he cannot "be held accountable for the open town policy pursued by the police commission at that time. Mr. "Rowe yes terday filed notice of his primary petition with the City Auditor. In the petition he announces: Rowe to Enforce All Laws. "If I am nominated and elected. I will, during my term of office, serve the people to the best of my ability, and I will endeavor to enforce the laws of the City of Portland and the State of Oregon." "To enforce the laws of the City of Portland and the State of Oregon" is the salient part of his platform. "I think I have made nyself plain." said Mr. Rowe last night. "That declaration is clear and terse, and I don't see how I could put more mean ing into It. I favor enforcement of all the laws. That's toeen my record In the past and will be my record in the future." Mr. Rowe remarked that he had come out as a candidate because urged to do so by many persons. He said he had conferred with the leaders of none of the old-time Republican factions nor with the leaders of any political club nor with the chiefs of the Municipal Association. Neither had he consulted with any candidate for the office. Fisher for Liberal Policy. Willis Fisher comes out boldly for what reformers call an open town, but for what h himself calls a properly regulated town. He stands for the fining or licensing of vice the policy enforced by Mayor Williams until abolished by Sheriff Tom Word. Th Tnm Wnril svstem I do not be lieve in," said Mr. Fisher last nlght, "nor 00 tne traveling men wno eiecieu him. If he were to run for office to morrow he would not receive any of their votes at least not more than two or three. "If we are to be run by preachers. I say we would Just as well be run by the machine. Preachers would better devote themselves to saving souls than saving the government. I bellevo in running the government on business principles. When you run a private business you've got to have money coming In. else you'll go broke. Just so with a city, When a minister is offered a higher salary by another church, he takes -the higher salary. "I believe that a proper source of city revenue are the elements that ne cessitate employment of a police force. Portland needs a larger police force: it could have a larger force if it had more money." Neither Fisher nor Glafke has filed no tice of his primary petition with the City Auditor. Merrill to Challenge Albee. Much. Interest centers in the candidacy of Albee who thus far has refrained from saying whether he plans to enter the primaries. Merrill has said that he will fo ntn the nrlmaries unless Albee shall do so. Unless Albee shall speak soon. Merrill declares that ho will chal tinn im to pnmh.it !n the nrlmaries. Albee ft understood to have been holding hack at the advice of his counselors until other candidates shall have announced themselves. His boomers have tearea h.t if Via nVimiirf Miwiiftiltr Williams single-handed In the primaries he would v, arnratfU. But some of them yesterday saw, in tie advent of Rowe and Fisher ana oiaise ana 41c.m11, a ru,m iwm in asmuch as their candidate is the acknowl edged closed-town champion and could draw the solid vote of that element, while the open-town vote woum ne spin oe tween several candidates. , Meeting In Eighth Ward.

I saw an account In today's Oregonlan of the Rev. Schaeffer. speaking to an audience of young girl at the Congrega tional Church. Among many things he fald: "I suw In your city just the other day five girls not ox'er 14 years old each, all smoking cigarettes." And his young hearers said "Oh!" In shocked tones. I am also shocked myself at such a state ment, as I have lived in Portland for the last 22 years and have never even seen once a girl under 14 smoking cigar ettes or any kind of tobacco. I would like him to answer a fair and square question, "Where did you see those five girls smoking cigarettes in 'our Roso City?" AV. SMYTHELY.

The operation uncovered tno pericar dial sac in which tho heart Is inclosed and also tho pleura, of both lungs. Mr. Gould stood the operation well and while the physician refuses to make a positive statement he encour ages the hope of ultimate complete re covery. The operation was a very un usual and, dangerous one and at best the patient will probably be confined to the sanitarium for many weeks. At a late hour last night Mr. Gould was reported to bo resting easily. A year ago whllo playing at the Baker Theater with the Xeill-Morosco Company a small abscess formed on Mr. Gould's breast bone. It was opened and treated for a time.

Mr. Gould made a "good recovery from this and believed himself entirely welL When he re turned here recently he took to horse back riding and after one of bis rides he dls'covered a small swelling on the lower part of the sternum which his physician told him was a return of the old trouble. He received temporary re lief from having it opened and Insisted on continuing his work. He suffered no pain and played his parts with the Co lumbia? Company until Sunday night when -he closed with "Thelraa." He entered the Sanitarium yesterday .morning and on examination disclosed yhc disease to be much more extensive than external signs Indicated. It was found that necrosis of the bone had set In and all the diseased, portions were re mqved. . Mr. Gould Is one of the best known leading men and stars in the country.

It has been rumored for a long time that both of the Roseburg officials would be indicted when the jury came to gether once more, but tills is not now thought to be the case. The time Is too short, and other things of greater Im portance are pressing on the Government for recognition, so It is thought. It is not thought, however, that the lack of attention suffered by the two of ficials at the hands of the grand jury will of necessity shut them out from ac tion comlrtg from other sources. There Is "said to be little doubt In the minds of those connected with the Government but that the absolute removal of both Bridges and Booth, from office will be given by Secretary Hitchcock inside of a month, that it is sure to come during April. It is sad that the political ambitions of all men in Oregon, especially such as have a hankering after Federal jobs. should -be tested by the land fraud litmus paper, but such Is said to bo the fact. Already before the Roseburg office Is va cant there is a long list of aspirants for the places to be filled.

EACH ONE IS ORGANIZING Republican Club, Young Men's Re publican Club, and, the New Deal Are Strong for Mastery In Local Political Field. Three Republican organizations are toll ing in the field and trying to make up for the lethargy ot tne "maenme tne Republican Club, the Young Men's Re publican Club and the "new deal" broth erhoodall professing to do enemies ot the Matthews-Carey machine. In all three organizations a mass meet ing of the rank and file of the party has been proposed, or a convention or general committee to bring forth the candidates. As a prellmlnarystep toward formation ot a general committee, the Republican Club, In Allsky Hall last night, resolved to call a meeting of Its precinct workers pext Monday, night to consider appoint ment of a committee to confer with simi lar" committees of other bodies. . The meeting was graced by the pres ence of such notables as "Willis Fisher, who, as vice-president, and In the ab sence of President Tyler Woodward, acted as chairman. Xext ot honor was 'Mrs. "Woodcock, who told how she elected Roosevelt President and how Frank C. Bakt. was a useless appendage of the campaign; "WJVP. Keady, whoso brain dr illed several measures of political wis dom; Ralph "W, Hoyt, who also ladled out political wisdom, though not always of the same kind as that of Mr. Keady's Charles F.'Lord. whose motion to, extend Mrs. "Woodcock a vote of thanks for the election ot Roosevelt, was carried with a whoop; P. A. MacPherson. whose motion to 'extend Mr. Lord a vote of thanks for having esctrted "the Carrie Nation of the "West" to the meeting was carried wtih an even louder whoop: John M. Mann, who- is one of the prime movers of the new deal which has Its citadel at 1C9 Second street; and such other celebrities as Charles E. Lockwood, E. T. Taggaru A. B. Manley, J. H. HItchlngs and D. J Qulmby. A long-drawn debate broke out over tho question of appointing a commit tee to confer with the other political organizations as to bringing out of primary candidates. The proposal came from Ralph Hoyt, and was opposed by Mr. Keady. who- argued that though I such a committee was advisable, its rappointmcnt was as yet premature In asmuch as precinct organizations had not yet been prcfected. Hoyt finally withdrew his motion but another, put forth by C F. Lord, for calling a meet Ing of precinct officers to consider the committee question was carried. A committee on headquarters was ap pointed In Ralph W. Hoyt. D. J". Qulmby and C. E. Lockwood. V Dr. Harry Lane has not yet sue cumbed to the blandishments of. tho Democratic committee which would al lure him into running for the Demo cratic nomination for Mayor. The com mittee representing the Multnomah Democratic Club and the Young Men's Democratic Club will get together" Jo- day or. tomorrow perhaps to wait on Dr. Lane. Tho members from the Young Men's. Club are Instructed to bring out all candidates that can be Induced to riih and not to confine themselves to one eligible. Dr. Lane wishes assurance that if he should win the nomination, all Demo cratic factions will unite to his sup port and he also desires to learn what chance exists of a split in the Republi can camp. STEEET-CAR ABUSES DISCUSSED Board -of Trade Names Committee to Call on the Management. The Portland Board of Trade last night. in called session, considered the new con stitution and by-law3 drafted for the gov ernment of the enlarged'board. The arti cles wero discussed and anended in some particulars and final action will bo taken upon them at the next meting of the board. 4 The objects of the enlarged board are stated in the new constitution to be "the growth, promotion, development and ' de fense of the commercial, professional, mu nlclpal and business interests ot the city and the citizens thereof; and the promo tion of the development and prosperity of the state, carrying on and development ot exchanges, associations and sub- boards of persons and corporations en gaged in trade, business and professional pursuits who shall be affiliated with the Board of Trade under such conditions as are stated in the toy-laws from lime to time." T. S. Townsend, by unanimous consent, discussed the street-car abuses of the city One and perhaps the greatest of these was the habit of standing on the rear platforms Indulged in by nearly all men who ride on the cam The second cause for dispute was the Inconvenient system of transfers as outlined by the speaker. A committee was appointed, con sisting of Mr. Townsend, J. W. Bailey and Thomas Gulnean, which will call upon the management of the Portland Consolidated Company and make an effort to have both of these abuses corrected If It is in the power ot the management.

Troubles of the Sailors' Union ot the Pacific and International .Longshore men's Union have taken a new turn. and there are none who attempt to state to any degree' of certainty what the outcome will be. In the Municipal Court yesterday the assault and battery charges against President Andrew Madsen, of the Longshoremen's Union: John Murphy, a prominent memberand gharles aocK and S. kelson, of the sauors union, were dismissed. This was because At- tnmvs Malarker and Citron, for the longshoremen and sailors, respectively. got together and arranged tor tne pay ment of costs in all cases and asked that the matters bo thrown out. . Charles Bock, of the Sallora" union, has been one ot the principal men In the conflict, having been arrested two times for assault and battery and car rying a concealed weapon.

Sensational charges were brought In writing against him by Delegate Jones. of the "C carmakers' union, xue nrai was that Bock liad said Governor Chamberlain should be assassinated, like some Russians, for holding a con furAnnn with sailor boarding-house men, and the second was that Bock had stated, publicly that tne long shoremen's Union is a labor monopoly.

He also belongs to the San Pedro, Cal., local of the Interna tional Union of Steam Engineers, and Is to sail on the schooner Borealls for that port in about three weeks. It is rumored that one condition of the set tlement of the cases in the Municipal Court was his agreement to leave Port land. He denies this, however.

COMES TO AID LONGSHOREMEN Vice-President Kelly Says Union Will Not Yield. Charles Kelly, of San Francisco, the fifth vice-president of the International Longshoremen's Marine and Transport Association, reached Portland yester day and Is now at the Golden "West. Mr. Kelly has come to Portland from San Dlogo '.0 take charr.c o the Long shoremen's side of the controversy now is ting between the members of that organization and the Sailor's Union. . The San Francisco man does not know what course he will pursue In settling the difficulty here. He has no terms of mediation to offer and neither he nor. his men will yield In the struggle. They are In the fight to win. "I do not know what will be tho out come of the trouble." said Mr. Kelly last night, "I -have not made up my mind what I will do or how I will try to settle the dispute. I know that the Long shoremen have no desire to create any scenes of disorder. They are not the ag gressors In the fight. "I know, too, that we are here to stay and will be here when the rest are gone. I think the public will be with us when It comes to realise the situation. Most of the longshoremen are residents of the city, the majority of them ara married and have homes here. All of them are permanent. On the other side the sailors aro transient, they are here one day and there the next. They have gone In to beat us or beat our heads off and have Imported thugs to assist in the work. When the public learns these things I do not have any doubt as to Its senti ment. , "We do not want to fight, but if we are forced to do so we will have to do It. -I think the longshoremen, as a rule, have the reputation to b able to take care of themselves." fc Mr. "Kelly said that the rumor to the effect that the Longshoremen's Union.was attempting-to absorb all of the dock-workers' associations and then break away from the American Federation of Labor, instituting an Independent organization, was untrue and without foundation. The longshoremen wished to consolidate all of th marine workers into one largo and well-ordered body, but had no desire to form any other organization from It. The visitor will remain in Portland uh til the trouble now existing has been settled, or is on the road to settlement. IN SIGHT OF THE PLANT.
