Polls to Open at Noon.
FORECAST OF TODAY'S PRIMARY
ELECTION.
McDonell, Rushlight and Simon each
declared ' last night that he would
win the Republican nomination for
Mayor.
Chairman Manley. of the Republican
city central committee, predicts that
the total Republican vote -will not ex
ceed 12,000 of a total registered party
vote of about 28,000.
Polls will be open for today's elec
tion from , 12 o'clock noon until T
P. M.
The use of carriages and alt forms
of electioneering are barred under the
provisions of the corrupt practices act.
Candidates are to be nominated by
Republican and Democrats for the
following offices: Mayor, Munclpal
Judge. City Auditor. City Treasurer,
City Attorney. two Councllrnen-at-large
and one Councilman each from
the Second, Third, Fifth, Ninth and
Tenth wards.
With Simon, Rushlight and McDonell
each declaring that he was certain of
receiving the Republican nomination for
Mayor in today's contest, the pre-primary
campaign for Portland municipal nomina
tions was practically concluded last night,
A. A. Bailey, State Senator, the fourth
man in the field, it Is very generally
predicted will ' finish the race In fourth
place. The campaign has been marked
by inaction on the part of most of the
candidates, and a general apathy on the
part of the electors. However, the vari
ous candidates will not quit their quest
for votes until the pools open at noon
today.
The eonfllctlng claims of strength ad
vanced by three of the candidates for
the mayoralty nomination, coupled with
the practical Inability to get any definite
Information on the situation, make it
more than ordinarily difficult to forecast
the probable result of today's election.
McDonell Has Made Gains.
Indications ure, however, that Simon
will be nominated. While McDonell has
developed surprising strength during the
last week, the Impression that the fight
lies between Simon and Rushlight is so
general that a conservative prediction of
the results scarcely Justifies giving Mc
Donell better than third place.
Friends of McDonell, nevertheless, are,
far more optimistic, and confidently ex
pect that their candidate will head the
ticket. It Is admitted that the strength
of McDonell depends entirely on the ex
tent to which he has been able to dis
organize Rushlight's following. The lat
ter firmly persists that, while he has
been made the target of attack from the
three opposing candidates, his following
has not been scattered.
Friends of the assembly ticket feel con
fident that every candidate recommended
by the Baker Theater gathering of Re
publicans will be nominated. This pre
diction by them is based on the grounds
that the nly objection that has been
urged Rgainst these candidates is ?he fact
that they were suggested by a meeting
of representative members of the party.
Assembly Entirely Regular.
That the proceedings incident to that
assembly were entirely regular and with
in the provisions of tbe direct primary
law itself, it is contended, has been es
tablished to the satisfaction of the aver
age Republican voter who Is concerned
for the success of the party and the
nomination and election of its candidates.
It is pointed out by the assembly friends
that at no time have the candidates of
that gathering been assailed on the
charge that they were not qualified and
competent, and they are depending on
that form of indorsement to guarantee
the nomination of the complete ticket.
While they will not admit it. the assem
bly forces are known to be fearful for
some of the candidates suggested for
Ward Councllmen. The candidacy of
these men does not enter materially into
the general situation, from the fact that
such nominations always resolve them
selves into purely local issues and are
governed largely by the manifold inter
ests of the respective wards concerned.
Aside from the ward contests, however,
the assembly people predict the success
of their entire ticket. Including Mayor,
Municipal Judge and the two Councll-men-at-Iarge.
Munly Is Probable Choice.
The Democrats are not expected very
actively to participate in today's elec
tion. In the first place, they have not
regularly nominated a candidate for any
of the offices. As a result, the members
of this party will nominate their ticket
today by writing the names of candl-

May Be One of Conditions on Which
Rockefeller Pulled Him
Through Panic.
NEW "YORK, May 7. (Special.) Has
George Gould parted with the control of
the Western Union, and has this control
passed to the Mackay company, which
dominates the rival company, the Postal
Telegraph-Cable Company, and is ' ths
largest individual stockholder In the Am
erican Telephone & Telegraph Company?
This Is what Is puzzling Wall street
today, and the action of Western Union
of late and its sharp rise today tends to
give - color- to- the story. It has been
known that, when George Gould found
himself bard pressed as the result of the
panic, he was forced to make his peace
with, the Rockefeller Interests and that
be was given financial assistance on cer
tain conditions and within certain lim
itations. These limitations, as a rule, affected
his railroad holdings and, while be is still
the dominant factor in the Missouri Pa
cific, the power behind the scenes is be
lieved by Wall street to rest at 26 Broad
way. MEN JUST TO "LEND TONE"
Spokane Women Did Not Need Them
at Suffrage Meeting.
SPOKANE, Wash., May 7. (Special.)
tA meeting managed entirely by worn
en, with women speakers, a women's
orchestra and women ushers, was held
at the South Central High School to
night, and Mrs. Edith Delong Jarmuth
and Mrs. Cora Mellott, of Seattle, were
the principal speakers. The meeting is
held by the local branch of the Equal
Suffragist Association, and the head of
ficers occupied seats on the stage.
, While men were welcome at the
meeting, they played no part in the
evening's programme, except to "lend
tone" to the gathering. The two visit
ors from Seattle have been prominent
in this line of work on the Coast and
were in the lobby at Olympla with Mrs.
May Arkwright Hutton, of Spokane, at
the time the Legislature was in session.
SHRIEKING WOMEN FIGHT
Bakers' Strike in New York Causes
Rioting and Bloodshed.
NEW YORK, May 7. Women figured
conspicuously today in street rioting In
cldent to the bakers' strike. Most of the
trouble 'occurred on the upper East Side.
A woman -customer leaving a bakery
was attacked by women. A policeman
who arrested one of her assailants was
attacked by a shrieking mob of women
and men, who threw bottles, bricks and
clubs at him. The mob ran when . he
drew his revolver.
Another policeman had a similar ex
perience with a crowd of women who had
slightly injured the daughter of a bakery
proprietor. The women followed him
into a butcher's shop and attacked him
viciously. They were driven out by other
policemen.

PARTS, ' May . 7. t-Warned in advance
that to strike means dismissal from the
service, the members of the Post, Tele
graph & - Telephone Employes' Associa
tlons in various cities have already voted
in principle for a general strike, and the
Congress of Railroad Men has.,ordered a
referendum on the question of ordering a
strike and has appointed a strike com'
mittee.
That a strike will result is a foregone
conclusion. The titles where it has been
decided upon include several of the
largest industrial centers,' such as Lyons
and Havre. The time to strike alone ap
pears to be undecided, having been left
by the local unions to the general strike
committee of each organization.
Will Dismiss All Strikers.
The determination of the government
to fight to a finish the question of the
right of state employes to strike is
shown by the declaration of M. Barthou
the Minister of Public Works, that the
government, in the event of an attempt
being made to strike, will instantly dis
miss from the service any postman who
ceases work. This action will be taken
under the Chamber of Deputies' vote of
confidence in the government on March
19 last, during the strike of the state
employes. The resolution of confidence
was drawn up to meet Just such an
eventuality. It said:
"The Chamber of Deputies la resolved
not to tolerate the strike of state em
ployes. It is confident of the govern
ment's ability to restore peace and order
in the public service and approves of the
declarations of the government."
Which Will Act First.
It remains to. be seen which party to
-the controversy will make the first move.
The Attorney-General is expected to de
clare that the syndicate organized by
the posts, telegraph and telephone em.
ployes is illegal under the 1884 act, which
limits labor unions to professions and
trades engaged in competitive industry
Such a declaration would make the or
ganizers immediately subject to heavy
fines and imprisonment. Such arrests
may be awaited as tbe signal to strike,
or the employes may decide to strike
before the government acts and thus get
in the first blow. .

SOME SCHEMES NEED PUSHING
Traction Magnate. Thinks
Jerome Is Useful.
BUT POPULARITY IS GONE
Hailed as Greatest Campaigner,. Je
rome Has Not Made Good, for
He Let Insurance and Trac
tion Thugs Escape.
BY LLOYD K. LONERQAN.
NEW TORK, 'May 7. (Special.) The
first of the Spring booms for Mayor has
made its appearance, and District At
torney William Travers Jerome is an
open candidate for the Tammany nomi
nation. .
The statement is made by men who
should be in a position to know that Je
rome- has the backing of Thomas F.
Ryan, who wants a "safe man" in the
City Hall, because he hopes to put
through another traction -merger to take
the place - of the present bankrupt af
fair.
Strange to say, several Tammany men,
hitherto regarded as astute, have ex
pressed . approval of the Jerome boom
and are convinced that he would add
strength to the ticket. Included in this
list are "Big Tim" Sullivan and Sheriff
"Tom" Foley. Murphy, of course, gen
erally does what Ryan wants, although
of course he would not put Jerome up
If he thought the man wojild be de
feated.
"Jerome is the most aggressive cam
paigner in town," is the way one Tam
many district leader puts it- "He has a
strong personal following, and can sway
It anyway he pleases. He showed his
ability the other night at Cooper Union,
when he won applause from a crowd that
had greeted him with hisses when he
first made his .appearance on the plat
form. He turned a mob of enemies int;
a crowd of friends, and that shows what
kind of a campaigner he Is."
'' Only Friends Are Millionaires.
Other men who have studied conditions
as carefully as this' district .leader be
lieve that Jerome would be the worst de
feated candidate since the days that Va
Wyck, the Iceman Mayor, was beaten to
a whisper when he ran for Justice of
the Supreme -Court.
There are two classes of citizens who
unless all signs' fail, can be counted upon
to oppose Jerome's aspirations. These are
the men who have insurance policies and
those who have been injured by the aboli
tion of transfers on the traction lines.
And, it might be added, this includes
nearly everybody outside of the million
aire class.
When the committee of which Hughes
was counsel made its - insurance dis
closures, Jerome took the center of the
stage, and while the calcium played with
