Mayor WiHiams Proposes to
Make a Whirlwind
Campaign.
SLANDERS TO BE REFUTED
Republican Nominee for Ma yor Does
Xot Intend to .Rest Quietly Un
der' Abuse Heaped Upon
'Him by Democrats.
"Well, I think I'll shake the boys up
c. bit.'
Such was Mayor "Williams response
jesterday to the question whether be
would let loose oratorical whirlwinds
in his stump speech at Albina next
Monday night. And His Honor looked
as if he might really "shake the boys
up a bit."
"The Citizens' ticket," said he, "has
been put up by scheming Democrats
to gull a lot of 'Republicans, who after
the election may find themselves
stranded outside the party. "What the
people of this city ought to see is a.
clean-cut Issue between JLanc and my
self, without any of such tricks as a
'Citizens' ticket.' "What is the Citi
cens' ticket,' anyhow? What does it
mean? I suppose that the men behind
it think their people the only citizens
in town," and the Mayor spoke in a
I've-got-some-citizens-Jn-my-camp- too
and I'm-a-citizen-myself tone of voice.
Will Defend Record.
"When Roosevelt ran for President
last Fall he was attacked on his rec
ord by the Democratic candidate, Par
ker, who really had no record and was
the candidate simply of opposition. In
that fight Roosevelt was on the defen
fsie. Now 1 am running for re-election
to the Mayoralty of Portland and
my record is attacked. It is my right
to defend that record, and I can de
fend it. I have no apprehension on
that score whatever. Dr. Lane has
little conception of the duties of this
office. The most important episode of
his career was his appointment as su
perintendent or the Oregon State In
sane Asylum, from which he was re
moved by Governor Pennoyer,
"In my speeches I shall explain the
slanders and alleged scandals that
haa been told of my administration
to the satisfaction of my auditors. I
am confident I can do it."
Whereupon His Honor picked up a
paper on his desk containing a news
paper account, nearly two years old,
of the bad condition of the fire-cnglne-houscs'of
the city. The roofs were
leaking, the horses were breaking
through the floors, the air was vilo
and unlit for the firemen to live in,
rats abounded and floors were sagging
under their rotten supports.
"Yet we had no city money to repair
our fire-engine-houses," proceeded the
Mayor, "and couldn't get any. Ele
cted roadways were tumbling down
and endangering the public and the
city had hardly a decent street. The
olice force was so small as to be in-
ijuate for the needs of the munici
pality. In order to tide thcclty over
Its financial difficulties, the City Coun
cil and the Executive Board proposed
the plan of lining gamblers in order
to derive revenue to run the city gov
ernment, and I acquiesced in the plan.
1 shall ask the people whether it was
wicked, under such circumstances to
take the money of gamblers and put it
to those uses."
To show that the City Council and
other officers of the city entered Into
the plan and approved it and .per
suaded the Mayor into it. Mayor Will
lams produced a clipping from a news
paper interview, given by. L. Zlmmer
snjm, president of the Council, Novem
ber 1903. Mr. Zimmerman said:
Speakinz tor myself. I am frank to con
fess I hav bren Instrumental In jxrsuadlns
the Mayor to adopt tbo present Fystem. and o
JlktwUc have a larse majority of the city
officials. I have atro approached the Mayor
(to persuade him) to Include all the money
elot machines In the flnlnc list, pa I consider
them as much gambling devices as faro or any
other paytnc tine, but I am fori? Vi tate
I have not pucverded.
"Of course he didn't succeed." broke in
the Mayor yesterday on coming to this
point of the interview. "Of course he
didn't. I drew the line at slot machines.
That was one of the limitations I placed
on the fining system." The interview con
tinued: I fall to we why some of our city o.Ticials
phould shirk some of the rcsponslllllt . ir ary
exlets. Certainly, the Mayor Is not alone
responsible for the present policy, inasmuch
as he consented to It only after lie had iW-l-tlve
proot that gambling was conducted be
hind closed doorf.
From my personal knowledge of the ci y's
finances, the money paid -by gamblers has b-on
1 ut to very good use for the last five month.
The tax levy of last year was insufficient
Tor the lire, police and street -departments,
and large deficiencies existed In all the de
partments, which, had to be paid for out of
the general fund. That fund fortunately has
been fattened by the fines collected in the
Police Court, and I know of rto reason why
enough tinea should not be collected to main
tain the entire police force. The fire depart
ment has been in a dilapidated condition, and
I think I am safe In saying that the same
conditions will not exist after expiration of
the present adminlMration.
Again, the charter piwldes that the city
shall keep In repair for a certain number of
years all newly Improved streets, whether they
consist of macadam, asphalt, wood or 3Jcl
glan block or any other material. Should not
the taxpayer have some little consideration?
Must he pay for all this? I do not think
any one connected with the city government
under Major Williams' administration will
need to be ashamed of it.
Chairman Colwell, of the Republican
City Central Committee, has booked May
or Williams to speak at Sellwood next
week, on Wednesday. Chairman Monta
gue, of the Democratic campaign com
mittee, is arranging for a. series of ex
hibitions by Dr. Dane. The Republican
campaign headquarters are la the Mc-
Jay building, room 205, where Mr. Col
well lias all the paraphernalia of his of
fice. The Democratic headquarters are
on the west side of Sixth, between Wash
ington and Stark street, upstairs.

"Parsifal" at the Marquam.
Pictorial "Parsifal" was repeated at the
Marquam last night under the direction
of J. Alex Hanna. who delivered an in
teresting lecture on Wagner's master
piece as an accompaniment to the pictures.
Mrs. Walter Reed, sang "The Nightin
gale's Song," by Kevin, "Habanera,"
from "Carmen," Bond's "Shadows," and
"I Know a Dovely Garden" by D'Harde-
lot- The moving pictures of the drama-
opera were by far the best ever seen 'here.
the concluding series called "The Reign
of Louis XTV" being even finer than the
"Parsifal" scenes; The Incidental music
was well done.
The entertainment will be repeated at
a matinee today given for the benefit of
school children, and. again tonight.
