THE MORMNG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 20, 1907
Bf POLITICIANS
SHYNESS SHOWN
Candidates Hesitate to De
clare Themselves Under
Rule of Direct Primary.
POT IS VERY SLOW TO BOIL
Although Many Names Are Men
tioned, Auditor Devlin Is Only
One to Come Out Openly for
Mayor Zimmerman Boom.
Who, beside City Auditor Thomas C.
Devlin, will be Republican candidate
for ahiyor? A dozen or more candi
dHtos hav( bren named in print,- but
when they are aHked point blank wheth
er they are going Into the primaries
wHI, they simply avoid the question
and bejtin to ask what the others are
doinR and sayinfr. .John B. CoITey.
George N. McMillan, Colonel Charles
McDoneil, L. Zimmerman, Dan Kella
her and the rest of those mentioned as
possible candidates, are busy listening
to the tempter's voice and watching-.
Kvery candidate so far mentioned, and
many others whose friends have polit
ical ambiitons for thorn, have run up
mayoralty llgrhtnlng rods, and are wait
ing for the shock.
Next to Mr. Devlin, the candidacy of
John IjJ. Coffey is perhaps the mosl
talked of. At his nlace of business
there are many callers, and if each
caller was a customer, instead of a
friend who dropped in to tell Coffee that
he could win hands down, he woulJ
soon have the wealth of Morgan or
Rockefeller. As with the rest of the
candidates, Coffey's friends, and not
Coffey, have declared him a candidate.
I.Ike the shrewd politician that he is.
however, he has his ear to the ground
and is waiting- When Coffey's name
was published as a candidate, the. Fed
erated Trades Council thought well
cnougrh of him to Indorse him. This
Brave rise to the story that he was the
choics of the Oregon Labor party,
when, in fact, it was the individual in
dorsement of the Federated Trades
Council.
Before a' labor candidate is deter
mined upon, the matter is put to a vote
of all tne unions. Kach union nomi
nates its candidate and their names are
sent lo the central committee and
placed on ;i ballot. They are then re
ferred to the various unions and voted
upon, and the successful candidate re
ceives the indorsement of the Labnr
party. The central co'mmittee will
meet tonight, with J. J. Price as chair
man, and undoubtedly the choice of
candidates will be the most important
feature of the meeting.
Law Still a Puzzle.
That the direct primary law is still
n unsolved riddle is clearly demon
strated these days. Wise politicians
who were getting ready to say they had
the thing figured out, are meeting with
many surprises and freely confess that
they are as much in the air as ever,
t'nder the old order of things political,
by this time the pot would have been
boiling. Candidates were not then so
shy and reticent. What they wanted
they asked for and vreren't afraid to
speak out "in meet In"." But this scheme
of coming out in the open 30 days be
fore the primaries and then going
through another 33 days of campaign
ing, with tho horrible interrogation
point hanging over them like a sus
pended "sword it Is a bit more than
most of the politicians relish. One of
the candidates whoso name has been
mentioned for Mayor,- sizes things up
this way:
"I may or may not be a candidate.
If I do make up my mind to run, you
can bet your life that I'll wait until
the last minute before T make my dec
laration. My record I am not ashamed
of, but I don't want to stand out in the
open for SO days a target for the bricks
of my few enemies. The mere fact that
a man is a candidate for any office,
makes him an object for attack, and I
actually believe that Mr. Devlin has
lost some of his support because he
came out too soon. If I become a can
didate I'll keep it a secret until the last
minute and then I'll get out and whoop
it up. It will be a great deal cheaper
and will be a great deal more effective,
I'm confident."
lj. Zimmerman, ex-president of the
Council, is again talked of. When the
political pot first began to simmer,
Zimmerman's friends started a boom.
They allowed it to die down, but wtlh
In the past few days tne toom has been
revived and there is in certain quarters
lots of Zimmerman talk. Like the
olnera, Mr. Zimmerman said yesterday
that his friends have been urging him
to be a candidate, and like them he Is
nou-commital. Like a physician, he
has his finger on the pulse of his
friends and. undoubtedly If ho finds it
good and strong, he will battle in the
primaries.
I'cel Political' Pulse.
Friends of Colonel McDoneil are still
very busy. Colonel McDoneil and his
friends have been testing the tempera
ture of voters, and from all accounts
they have found plenty of encourage
ment, for there is a good deal of- Mc
Itonal talk. There has been a little lull
In the McMillan boom, but this is be
cause the president of the Multnomah
Club has willed it. Like some more of
the wise ones, McMillan doesn't want
all talk and no action. Ho has a host
of friends who are dally feeling the
voters out, and if things look well he
will be heard from when the proper
time comes.
Councilman Kcllaher is another
talked of candidate that has the wise
ones guessing. He is of the opinion
that there is plenty of time, and like
Mayor Uno, no one is likely to know
his intentions until he Is ready to de
clare himself.
What is true of the mayoralty skir
mish can be said of the scramble for
the other offices. John Dltchburn is
the latest name handed out as a candi
date for City Attorney. There was some
talk of Ben Selling running; as an op
ponent to Oeorge Baker, as Council
man from the Fourth Ward, but Mr.
Helling declares that he will not be a
candidate.
"'I should like very much to serve the
people in the Council." said Mr. Selling
yesterday, "for I think it the duty of
every business man to accept a public
office. If he haa time to devote to it. I
was asked to run as Councilman, but
I refused. I simply could not afford to
devote the time that the duties of a
Councilman would demand and I do
not believe in doing things by half."

The cleverest acrobats ever seen in Tort-
TERrVflS EASY FOR EVERYBODY
NO BUSINESS MAN, if he be a business man in the strict sense of the word, will overlook an investment that has
all the chances of profit in it as against not a single evidence of failure. That fully describes Rose City Park. The price,
location, improvements and all else considered, Rose City Park is a giltedged investment for any business man. But, aside
from the investment feature, there are scores of business men in Portland who are paying rent. They do not own their
own homes. Rose City Park offers them an opportunity that will seldom be overtaken in the course of their busy lives.
If the business men of this city have ever considered the advisability of building a home, they will do wisely to take a
trip to Rose City Park, look it over and see if their idea of a home would not be immensely enthused by the thought of
locating it in Rose City Park. At any rate, it would be a splendid stroke of policy to take a ride out and see it.
THE AVERAGE STENOGRAPHER receives about $50 a month in Portland. If she be
industrious, economical and inclined to take advantage of financial gain, in a small way, or, if
she has intentions of some time owning her own home, she can easily arrange to purchase a lot
in Rose City Park. By practicing the strictest kind of domestic economy, without inconve
niencing herself in the least, such a young lady should be' able to provide herself with ample
clothing, board, room and amusement on less than $35 a month. This nets her a saving of $15
per "month. By purchasing a $400 lot in Rose City Park, she would be amply able to meet her
monthly payment of $12 and have a little laid aside for emergency. If not alone for the sat
isfaction of owning property of her own, this young lady, within six months, could readily dis
pose of the lot for double what she paid for it. We are certain that a visit to Rose City Park
will convince any stenographer of this.
lltflM
THE STREETCAR
CONDUCTOR and all
other street railway
employes are quick to
take note of the spread
of city to unimproved
neighborhoods. They
often see opportunity
of good investments
without possessing
the resources to attempt them. This is
not true of Rose City Park. Street
railway employes have already recog
nized the inducements offered at Rose
City Park. While many of them may
not be able to build within the restric
tions imposed by building clause, they count
upon buying now and selling before payments
have matured. Thus, with a small investment,
perhaps less than $100, spent in a period of six
months, they maybe able to clean up a profit
of $500. Others, less attracted by the invest
ment feature, will decide to avail them
selves of the opportunity offered by the
Building Association. These men, mostly
family men, seek for a home for their wives
and children, with quiet and elegant surroundings, and will bend
every energy in the direction of making a home first and letting
the investments come later in life.
BANK CLERKS ARE PARTICULARLY impressed with safe
investments. Their keenness in this regard is largely responsible
for their success in the lines in which they are employed. Several
of Portland's leading bank clerks have invested ia Rose City Park.
Their judgment is good and their gains will be their reward. Real estate is the basis of all
value and they know that Rose City Park, being in the city limits and about to be greatly
improved, will never be worth less than it is right now; the chances are 1000 to one that it
will increase in value daily at a startling rate. Many bank clerks have already planned to
build and there promises to be quite a colony of them before the Summer is over. There
is no more desirable neighbor than an employe of a banking institution. Their relations
with the public make them responsive to every public need and their natures have been
moulded, to a large extent, in the direction of courtesy and good fellowship, while conser
vatism plays a large part.
BOOKKEEPERS ARE WELL PAID and lots of them spend a large percentage of their wages in rent. If thas
class of young men and women could be impressed with the idea of the extravagance of rent-paying, they would wel
come the opportunity of building a home of their own. Up to this time it has been difficult for them to find such an op
portunity. Rose City Park, fortunately,, for about the firsttime in Portland, provides it. Any bookkeeper may purchase
a lot and if he is financially unable to build himself a home, he will probably be pleased to know that an association has
been organized for that very purpose. Hundreds of homes will be erected in Rose City Park this Summer and scores of
bookkeepers will be among the number. The wages of a bookkeeper are such that he can easily handle a lot at Rose
City Park. Even though he has no disposition to build at present, the profit that will accrue from his holdings will be
ample to justify him in buying. It's an opportunity that he cannot well afford to overlook.
THE TRAVELING MAN, as a rule, sees more opportuni
ties for the quick turning of his money than most people in busi
ness life. Many of them have seen Rose City Park and purchased
lets there. Some of them, being away from their homes the
greater part of their time, have thoughtfully provided a lot upon
which to build a nice little home for their family. Accustomed
at all times to the rumble of the train, the hustle and noise of com
mercial life, they have been quickly attracted by the home-like
features of Rose City Park. Their testimony as to
the desirability of Rose City Park as a residence location is ap
preciated as much as that of anybody
else. Quick to note the opportunity of
making an investment with ths prom
ise of quick returns, many others have
bought for that reason. There is not
a successful traveling man on the road
today that cannot well afford to pur
chase two lots and take care of the pay
ments on them until they are sold.
Many of them will have sold out at a
profit of 100 per cent before they are
half paid for. -. -

CUT THIS OUT
A Recipe for Consumption and
the Quick Cure of Coughs
and Colds '
A noted Philadelphia specialist states
that consumption in every case comes
from weak lungrf which are sometimes
inherited, but more often result from a
neglected cough or cold.
Lung weakened by nature or inflam
mation afford a lodging; place for the
tubercle germ and consumption follows.
This is the whole thins in brief as
stated by the great specialist. Ha gives
a formula which has proven wonderfully
effective in the speedy cure of all throat
and lung; troubles and it is said will
frequently cure a bad cold in 24 hours.
The formula is the following: "Glycerine
two ounces; Concentrated oil of pine one
half ounce; whisky half pint; mix and
shake thoroughly; use in tablespoon doses
every four hours." Tho ingredients are
obtainable from any good prescription
druggist and can easily be mixed at home.
The Concentrated oil of pine is a com
paratively new product, but was wel
comed by physicians on account of its
being; soluble, a quality long; sought.
Care should be taken to make sure
to ' get the "Concentrated," which al
ways comes put up in half ounce bottles
enclosed in round screw-top -cases in
tended to- protect the oil from heat and
light and retain its full strength of
ozone.
Patent medicines of similar names put
out by chemical companies and bulk
oils should be avoided. If a person
keens the physical organs in a healthy
condition they need fear no disease, and
a cough or cold should be checked at
once, or it will surely lead to serious
complications.
