HOT WORDS FLYAT
POLITICAL RALLY
Rival Candidates for Council
in Sixth Ward Give Zest
to Meeting. .
MANN ACCUSES BELDING
Snys Present Councilman Is Tool of
Corporations, and Ilelding Re
plies In Kind Devlin Opens
the Campaign for Mayor.
Tes. the municipal campaign is open;
it was opened last night, and with fire
works, blue, brown and brlndle. If any
one doubts it he should have been at
Artisans- Hall when the South Portland
.Republican Club gave its formal rally,
with speeches, sonps and verbal hot shot.
Like all well-regulated meetings, the best
was saved for the last and it was John
JI. Mann, candidate for Councilman of
the Sixth ward, who furnished the real
fireworks of the evening. Mann opened
his political thunder on Councilman Beld
ing. who 1s seeking re-election, by openly
accusing Bcklirig of being backed by the
Portland Oas Company and kindred cor
porations. Mann began his pyrotechnics -by de
scribing how the City Council granted a
saloon license for a saloon at the corner
of Fifth and Sheridan streets, after a re.
monstrance htui been signed by more
than 300 residents of the neighborhood.
This was a direct shot at Councilman
melding and Mann accentuated his re
marks when he turned to the platform,
upon which the speakers of the evening
were seated, and said:
"The man who could have prevented
the granting of that license and did not,
sits on this platform tonght," and he
looked Btraight at Belding. Councilman
Holding's friends were on hand and the
accusation did not hit the high score
with them. The real hot shot came when
Mann declared:
"1 know that in making this fight for
Councilman of the Sixth ward I will
have the Portland Gas Company against
me. the liquor dealers, the Portland Gejj
iral Electric Company and Oskar Huber.
and 1 want to tell you If I am elected you
will never hear that I am a member of
the 'solid nine' or that any corporation
ran buy me. Another thing I want the
voters of the Sixth ward to know and
believe, and that is. I will do what has
not been done for the ward, and that is
a great deal.
Councilman Belding Replies.
Mann's warm words brought Council
man Belding to his feet and for several
minutes "both Belding and Mann held the
platform and Just about the time that
thingB were about to degenerate into per- ,
i sonalities, some one called for a song
. from -Summers." one of the colored mu
sicians of the evening. Things did not
even simmer down after the song, for
once more Mann got possession of the
floor and made his charges more direct.
'I know, and can produce the proof,
he said, "that this man," pointing to
Councilman Belding, "is owned body and
soul by the Portland Gas Company, the
Portland General Electric and Oscar Hu
ber." Here Councilman Belding broke, in.
"Gentlemen," he said. "I want to answer
the statements made by Mr. Mann. I
am not owned by any corporation, and
right here I want to tell you of a, propo
sition this man made to me less than
three weeks ago. Ho came to me and
wanted me to withdraw from the race,
and asked me to run as Councllman-at-l,arge.
He told me that he had all of
the corporations behind him and that
he eoudl get them to help me. 1 refused."
"1 admit this." said Mann, breaking in
on the speaker. "I'll admit all this man
says: but 1 made the offer to him just
to draw him out, and I did. I "
Here Presldnt Y. P. Hills' gavel fell
sharply on the table, and. not only the
speakers were hushed, but also those In
the crowd who were howling at the top
of their voices, "Belding, you're all
right."
But the end was not yet. After the
meeting had practically broken up. Beld
ing approached Mann and accused him of
being A. L. Mills' candidate. Once more
Mann took possession of the stand and
got the attention of the few remaining
voters long enough to give the names of
the corporations that were against him,
and added the First National Bank and
the name of Mr. Mills to the list.
This was the discordant note of the
meeting. W. P. Lillls, president of the
club, presided. Several hundred voters,
not all from the Sixth Ward, but from
other parts of the city, were on hand to
listen to the firing of the first campaign
cannon and to see the various candidates
on parade. Thomas Devlin, candidate for
Major, was one of the principal speak
ers of the evening, and on the speakers'
platform with Mr. Devlin were J. P.
Kavanaugh and V. R. McGarry, candi
dates for City Attorney; A. L. Barber
and Oscar Miller, candidates for City
Auditor, and a number of others.
The crowd present had the time of
their lives smoking good cigars, both be
fore and during the meeting. One notice
able thing was. the absence of liquid re
freshments. The meeting was held in a
"dry" precinct.
TH'vlIn the First Speaker.
Mr. Devlin was the first . speaker of the
evening. Kvcrybody present seemed to
know the City Auditor, and when he rose
to speak he was greeted with applause.
Mr. Devlin announced hi intention and
dfslre to conduct a clean campaign,
to treat atl aspirants for office as worthy
and even the opposing party with due
courtesy, and to eschew criticism and
personalities as far as possible. He an
nounced a constructive policy for the up
building of a bigger and better city; a
policy to encourage manufactories and
facilities for a larger commerce. In this
connection he explained the necessity for
greater terminal facilities and the Impor
tance of the city owning a portion of the
docks. 1 o provide for the latter a bill
may- be submitted to the people to bond
the city for K00,000 to purchase water
frontage. He sot forth plainly the necessity for
hetter pavements and cleaner streets and
the method by which this end could b
accomplished.
Mr. Devlin explained the charr
amendments to be submitted providing for
a new fire boat and fire mains: for a new
bridge across the river at Madison street:
for additional parks and boulevards, and
other important measures, necessitating
tn aji an increased debt of J5,25,0O0.
Favors .no Special Interests.
He said that he was not the candidate
of any interest or faction and If elected
would be in position to administer the
affairs of the city in the interest of all
the people. Sir. Devlin -admitted that by
request he had written a letter to the
iHbor party In which he subscribed to
the theory of municipal ownership of
,uuiit ULiiilica unun titnoci tauve Illdll-
ods of acquiring them -as set forth by
. the Labor Party, and other planks of the
platform, but said that he did not sub
scribe to the whole platform for reasons
stated in his letter, that he had not
studied or investigated many of its prin
ciples and was not qualified to approve or
disapprove of this part of the platform.
V. R. McGarry followed Mr. Devlin
and began his speech by answering the
charges made against him, that he was
not eligible to hold th office of City At
torney under the city charter because
he had not been born in Portland. Mr.
McGarry took a fling at the city charter,
referring to it as an infamous piece of
legislation. He said he wanted it under
stood that because he was not born in
Portland he was not an outlaw. He told
what his platfrom was and declared that
if he. were nominated and elected nobody
in any building in the city would write
his opinions or own him. "And," he con
tinued, "if I am elected 1 am going to
make some of the laws on the statute
books effective or make it so hot for
those who put them there that the laws
will be repealed, : I came here tonight
so that you could get a look at me, and
I want you- to hear me say that I am
pledged to no one. " I have made no
promises, only the one that I am mak
ing to you -tonight, and that is I will
obey the law and see that the law is
obeyed, not by one man or class of men,
but by' all."
Belding Cuts Speech Short.
Councilman Belding's address was the
shortest of the evening. He announced
his intention and desire to be re-elected,
and said that he folt the voters of the

In the Catholic Church one -of the great
ceremonies of Holy Saturday morning is
the "Washing of the Feet." This cere

of 12 priests, usually those of the poorer
orders.
. Among the other churches the principal
observances come on Easter, and special
preparation is being made for that day.
As usual, the musical ceremony will be
made an important part of service, and
special work and training is being done
by all the choirs.
At the Cathedral, the sermon on Easter
morning will be preached by Bev. Father
Joseph Gallagher, and the subject will
be "The Holy Eucharist." The high mass

Christie will officiate.
The subject for the sermon, at the Trin

Sixth Ward knew him and of what he
had done, and he would stand on his
record.
A wit in the crowd "broke up" the
Councilman by shouting: "It's all right
Belding. If you can't talk, you're all
right, anyway."
John P. Kavanaugh. Chief Assistant
City Attorney, followed. He spoke of the
duties of the City Attorney and the im
mense volume of work in that office He
said that the City of Portland required
an industrious, competent legal adviser.
who would give the city the service of a
trained mind in the important questions
submitted to him for determination. He
said he had made a careful study of the
charter and the several branches of mu
nicipal law, and during his five years'
connection with the office he had con
ducted some of the most important liti
gation In which the city ever engaged.'
He said a conscientious City Attorney
had no time to play to the galleries. He
was required to exercise the judicial fac
ulty. If elected, he would, he said, give
the city a clean, honest and efficient ad
ministration. He said he was friendly to
labor In Its organized capacity, but was
not the candidate of any class, and would
treat every man with equal justice.
Would Treat All Alike.
He would enforce the ordinances against
rich and poor alike, and during his in
cumbency there would be no scandals or
corruption that he could prevent.
The other speakers were Oscar Miller
and A. Li. Barbur, candidates for City
Auditor. Both cut their talks short and
both said they felt confident of securing
the votes from the Sixth Ward. J. A.
Finch, law partner of C. H. Plggott, can
didate, for Councilman from the Sixth
Ward, spoke for his absent partner. Mr.
Finch persisted in calling his partner
Charley Fulton instead of Charley Pig-gott.
EITHER COFFEY OR DEVLIX
Union Labor Party Committee Se
lects Mayoralty Candidates.
Either Coffey or Devlin will be the
Mayoralty candidate of the Union Labor
party. At a meeting of the Board of
Control of the party last night, Zimmer
man and McDonell were rejected and it
was decided to choose between Coffey and
Devlin by referendum vote of the 40 odd
unions affiliated with the Union Labor
party. Several vigorous speeches were
made in favor of Coffey, who seemed the
favorite of the Board. '
As the Board of Control did not wish
to arrogate to itself the selection of the
candidate, two were recommended for the
unions to pick from. The successful can
didate is to receive the united support of
the affiliated union? hi the primaries and
the election.
Last night's gathering was made up of
three representatives from each union,
and some 90 men were present. Joseph
J. Price, presided, and T. M. Leabo acted
as secretary. The balloting for union
labor candidates will be done in each
labor union.
The candidates, recommended for City
Attorney were W. H. McGarry aSid J. P.
Kavanaugh.
COMPROMISE IS SUGGESTED
Landowners May Give Mount Hood
Railroad Right of Way. .
So persistent are the objections of
farmers to the granting of a slice of
the Section Line Road to the Portland
and Mount Hood Railway Company
for use as a right of way. that no
franchise was awarded by the County
Court yesterday. While It was an
nounced last week that the matter
would be definitely settled at this time
a compromise has been suggested,
whereby the company may secure a
right of way along the road without
encroaching on the road Itself. To
allow time for the completion of this
plan. County Judge "Webster postponed
the matter of giving or refusing the
company a franchise until April 17.
The new plan is to secure dona
tions from private landowners of nar
row strips of land along the .road,
to be set aside as a fight of way for
the company. Nobody appears to ob
ject to the road itself, which is gen
erally recognized as necessary to the
rapid advancement of the contiguous
territory. To the use of 14 feet of a
road 60 feet wide there is ; strenuous
objection, however.

scepter is coming back to the Democratic
party.
At a meeting last night this -was the
glad tidings cited by warhorses from the
Young Men's Democratic Club, the Mult
nomah Democratic Club and the executive
committee of the County Central Commit
tee. George L. Hutchin presided over
them all as chairman, and C. A. Ambrose
recorded the minutes as secretary.
A special committee John Montag, Alex
Sweek and M. J. Malley was able at last
to report that Harry Lane has dropped
his "sufflcient unto the day is the evil
thereof" and has announced his willing
ness to be a candidate for re-election "if
the members of the Democratic party de
sire me to run." This was the word
dropped from Lane's mouth when the spe
cial committee waited on him Tuesday in
the City Hall. Lane suspected that the
committee came to smoke him out of his
Scriptural quotation at least, so It
seemed and he came out s'o easy that
the visitors were surprised.
The committee reported that it had
waited on George H. Thomas, who is also
boomed for the party nomination for
Mayor, and learned from him that he had
not made up his mind whether to run or
not. He told the callers that in a few
days he would decide one way or the
other and send them a letter embodying
nts sentiments. . Councilman W. T.
Vaughn, the committee reported, an
nounced he would not run for Mayor, if
Lane should do so. As Lane has decided
to run, it thus appears that Vaughn Is
out.
As for nominations for other offices.
the brethren last night reported a
large stock of candidate' material.
Those who have announced themselves
candidates are the following:
City Attorney W. H. Stivers. L. L.
Langley, Charles Petrain.

Today is the first day of Holy Week
proper. Although the week of sorrow

Palm Sunday, the Holy Week services
begin today. The Tenebrae, a set of
psalms and quotations from the Hebrew
prophets, will be chanted tonight in all
Roman Catholic Churches, and various

be solemnized throughout the ' country.
The Catholic and Episcopal are the only
sects which pay very, much attention to

up in meditation and prayer.
One of the most beautiful services - in
the Catholic Church today Is the cere

'Hot foot after the fat job of H. G. Van

friends flit hither and yon. trying to knock
tne props from under the booms of his

Job Pays Total of $52 00.
The job pays $2600 a year salary. $1700 a
year traveling expenses and 1000 a year
clerk nire. a total of $5200, which is con
sidered a rather soft berth, in these days
when ofneeseekers are buffeted about by
direct. primary tempests. The Fish Com
mission, which makes the choice, does not
seem to be toeing the mark, as the foes
of Van Dusen have been expecting it to
do, and there are signs that the incum
bent has been able to. foil them thus far,
through the industry of influential friends,
among them Senator Fulton. Van Dusen
has expressed confidence In being able
to hold the job, and his supporters have
been busily working on Benson and Steele,
the two Republican members of the 'Fish
Commission, while the Governor, being
the minority Democrat, has not been tak
ing an active part in the fight.
Before Benson and Steele took office in
January, it was whispered among: Van
Dusen's foes that his scalp would be
jutea soon arter tney began tneir amies.
Then after they were inducted into of
fice, it was said the coup had been de
ferred until after the Legislature. More
than a month has passed since the Legis
lature adjourned, and still Van Dusen
keeps his scalp.

Now the aspirants for his job artwon.
derlng what Is the matter with Benson
and Steele, for though Benson's illness is
ascribed as the cause :of the inaction of
the Fish Commission, it is suspected that
something else is the matter.
In the contest is involved the fight be
tween up-river interests, centered in Clat
sop County, and up-river interests, cen
tered In Wasco County. The two fishery
factions have been at war many years,
and while neither has been able to win
its contention as to close and open sea
son, or as to abolition of this or that
gear in the Legislature, the down-river
fisheries have appointed the Fish Com
missioner. Naturally, the ' up-river fish
eries are leading the fight on Van Dusen;
and they thought they had him defeated
in the new Fish Commission., .
. A bitter fight has been waged on Van
Dusen and his foes are ready to accept
anybody if he can be displaced. Clatsop
is unanimously supporting van Dusen,

CATARRH usually occurs in the
Throat and Nasal passages, and Is
an affection which causes irritation, in
flammation and soreness of the mucous
membranes. To cure the disease and
prevent recurrence it is necessary to
antiseptlcally cleanse and heal the af-
fected parts. DR. PORTER'S ANTI
SEPTIC HEALING OIL, is a Household
Surgical Dressing, which is most effi
cient for the cure of Catarrh, because
of its wonderful antiseptic or cleansing and healing properties. It can be read
ily sprayed into the Throat and Nose with an Atomizer, and as it is in the
form' of an Oil, it does not simply vaporize and pass off, but it goes directly
to the seat of the trouble. The beneficial effects of the preparation will be
noticed immediately, and the most stubborn chronic cases of Catarrh can be
cured after a short treatment. Nearly all druggists now sell DR. PORTER'S
ANTISEPTIC HEALING OIL. Price 25c.
