' io WETHERBEE WILL IF INDORSED Willing to Stand for Mayor if Business Men of City Want Him. PETITIONS ARE CIRCULATED AH Commerlcal Organizations Will Be Asked to Support film Wants Council Composed Strictly of Business Men Elected. Submitting to the Insistent demands of a delegation of prominent business men. Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, president of , the Portland Commercial Club, yesterday an nounced that he would become a candi date for the Republican nomination for Mayor. There Is only one string attached to the candidacy of Dr. Wetherbee, and that is a general Indorsement by the rep resentative business interests of the city. A definite programme has been outlined by the men launching Dr. Wetherbee as a candidate, by which it Is expected to secure for him that Indorsement. "I will. If nominated and elected,'" Bald Dr. Wetherbee yesterday, "give Portland the best business rdminlstration of which I am capable. I will tote fair and wilt expect that others will tote fair with me. I will select the best business men I can get for members of the executive board and for every other position for which the Mayor has the appointment. "I always have been a Republican, but I am not a politician. I have never sought public office before, and am not an of f iceseeker now in that sense of the term. For me to accept the nomination and election would Involve a sacrifice on my part, as I would have to give up a lucrative practice. If the business peo ple want me, however, as they say they do, I will conduct the affairs of the mu nicipality for the ybest Interest of all." The movement to bring Dr. Wetherbee out as a candidate began fully a week ago. It was not until yesterday, how ever, at a luncheon attended by 15 mem bers of some of the largest business firms of the city at the Commercial Club, that Dr. Wetherbee consented condition ally to become a candidate. The condi tions under which Dr. Wetherbee will seek the nomination include an under standing with his supporters that they will see to It that only business men are nominated and elected as members of the City Council. Dr. Wetherbee contends it t essential that the Council shall be composed of men -prominently Identified with the business interests of the city If the businesslike administration of munic ipal affairs, which Is proposed, can be given. Committees will be named immediately from among Dr. Wetherbee's supporters to circulate petitions indorsing his candi dacy . All of the commercial ore-anl-r.a. ttons and other associations of business men will be given an opportunity fo In dorse Dr. Wetherbee as a candidate. Not even the Republican assembly, which is scheduled for Wednesday night, April " oo siigntea in tne quest for In dorsement. If the Union Republican Club, as an organization. does not fall In lino oh Indorse Dr. Wetherbee there Is a strong i""""" mat individual members of that club will. S. C. Pier, president of me ciuo, is one or the men who attended the Wetherbee conference yesterday, and it Is expected he will seek to get the club to indorse the doctor. Some time ago Pier, as president of the club, in a letter to Max G. Cohen, secretary of the name organization, repudiated the urn gramme adopted by the' City Central Committee in providing for an assembly jor me recommendation of candidates for the different city offices. Ever since then he has declined to have anything to do with the meetings of the central committee. CITY CENTRAL MEETS TONIGHT Membership of Assembly Is to Be Selected.
