PROBABLY FOUR HONORED Itarhur and Wcrlein Complimented, and t'ily Attorney Kavanaugh and I. J. Jennings Thought Ki Be Nominated. Complete unofficial returns of the Dem ocratic vote In Saturday's primary elec tion from all but nine precincts indicate the nomination by that party of three end probably four Republicans. These figures show that City Auditor Barbur and City Treasurer Werlein undoubtedly haveieen nominated by the Democrats, while It appears probable that City At torney KavanauKh has profited by the scattering- vote of the opposition party and lias received its indorsement for re election to that office. J. J. Jennings, unsuccessful Republican candidate for Councllman-at-large. Is be lieved to have defeated either T. A. Chambers or H. V. Stone, the regular Iemocratic candidates. Thomas C. Dev lin and Gay Lombard, the Republican nominees for Councllnien-at-larKe. re ceived a considerable number of votes from the Democrats for the same office, as did o Representative F. J. Brady and M. M. Dimlck. defeated Republican candidates for that nomination. I nder the provisions of the direct-primary law. as It is interpreted by Georjte It. Thomaa. chairman of the Democratic City Central Committee, when Republi cans have been nominated by the oppo site party.. It is necessary for them to oualify by filing acceptances of the nom inations eo conferred. It is not probable, liowever, that the Republicans who were indorsed by the Democrats Saturday will file the neeessary acceptances. In that event Chairman Thomas Is of the opin ion that the Democrats will find them selves without candidates for these offices In the June election. The Democratic ehalrmian understands that the direct pri mary affords the members of the minor ity party an opportunity In the primary election to nominate candidates for the various offices, and contends that if the party falls to avail itself of that privi lege there is provided no other means by which the ticket can he completed after the primary election has been held. Democrats Iay Their Plans. But this fact ia not giving the Demo crats very great worry. They appear en tirely satisfied with bavin nominated Judge M. G. Munly to head their ticket for Mayor, and early this week will for mulate definite plans for uniting their forces in the support of that candidate against a possible divided Republican field, for which the minority party has been hoping ever eince the municipal campaign began. The Democratic nominees for Ward Councilmen cannot be determined until the official count has been made. Inci dentally, this is a job the Canvassing Board anticipates with no gTeat eager ness. For instance, in some of the pre cincts the names of no less than a dozen men were written on the ballot for the same office. Before the final result can be ascertained, it will be necessary to en. roll the names of all these candidates and then compute the total vote of each. The canvass of the Republican vote will be comparatively an easy task, but to make the Democratic count may require several days. The incomplete figures on Auditor, as shown by SO of the 88 precincts, give City Auditor Barbur. the Republican nominee, a total of 129 votes, against 87 for George I. Smith, the high Democrat. Unofficial returns from all precincts show that Munly carried both sides of the river and received the nomination for Mayor over Iane by a vote of 392 to 310. The vote on Mayor was: "West Side, I jane 138. Munly 152; East Side, Lane 172, Mun ly 241. Councilmen Are Nominated. The returns indicate the nomination of the following Democrats for Ward Coun cilman: Second 'Ward, Thomas Guinean; Third. F. T. Berry: Fifth. Dr. C. A. Proudfoot: Ninth. E. B. Versteeg: Tenth, "W. T. Vaughn. Tn the Second Ward. W. W. Banks and H. W. Wallace, the rivaj Republican candidates, each received Democratic votes. With the exception of three votes for G. D. Dunning. Republi can. F. T. Berry received practically all of the Democratic votes in the Third. Dr. C. A. Proudfoot probably has re ceived the nomination in the Fifth over J. G. Nichols, who had been Indorsed by the Kentucky Kllck. Frank B. Watklns and Eugene Cohn, two of the Republican candidates in tbia ward, received com plimentary votes from the opposite party. H. 9chade contested with E. E. Verstee: for the nomination of Councilman tn the Ninth, where R. E. Menefee, the Repub lican nominee, also received a sprinkling Councilman W. T. Vaughn was renomi- nated in the Tenth, with but little Demo cratic opposition, although several votes from his party went to C. H. Beard, J. T. Ellis. S. L. Woodward. M. F. Donahae and W. H. Payne, candidates for the Republican nomination. COMES TO DEFENSE Rev. W. G. Eliot, Jr., Stands Up for City Charter Revision. YOUR BEST BUY.

SAYS COMMITTEE IS FAIR In First of Scries of Four Sermons " on Subject. Pastor Declares Charge Against 15 Men Having Matter in Hand Is False. "The chars that the work of the com mittee appointed to revise the proposed new charter of the City of Portland was tainted, or in any way treacherous to the city, is unqualifiedly false,' said Rev. William G. Eliot, Jr., In an address last night at the Church of Our Father (Uni tarian). It was the first of a series of four sermons on the charter, the other three to be given the next three Sunday nights. Speakers who are not members of the Unitarian Church will occupy the platform the next two Sundays. In part Mr. Eliot said: About nine months ago the Mayor and Council appointed a committee of 15 citi zens to revise the present charter of the City of Portland. The committee undertook to make changes more radical than .were at first anticipated, and ere granted an extension of time by the Council. The com mittee reported In February. A minority of the Council, for questionable reasons, was able to pi event Its prompt submission to the electors. It will, therefore, be voted upon in June. The proposed new charter Is the result of five months of painstaking deliberation. In Its main' elements it represents the mature judgment of a majority of the members of the committee. Because It is the honest work of men chosen for the purpose, it Is entitled to a. fair and sympathetic hear ing. The four addresses, of which tonight Is the first, will attempt to contribute help fully to the general discussion. There are weighty reasons that may be adduced against the proposed amendments of the committee of 15. Whether they are weightier than the reasons to h urged in their favor Is a matter for careful con sideration and personal Judgment. Which ever way- the votes may turn, we shall, at least, have better hope that the decision will prove to be right. If the discussion shall be Informative and fair-minded. Continuing, the speaker admitted that good officers could do well under a poor charter and that corrupt officers could still betray the city under the best of charters; but he contended that despite this the matter of right methods was by no meajis to be ignored, and tills he proved by appeal to the history of other cities. He continued: Conditions being what they are. the mat ter of method la of very great importance. Any proposed method whlon attempts, under proper checks, to concentrate responsibility and to put a high premium upon efficiency deserves at least a thoughtful hearing. And If it should succeed In a consummation so devoutly to be desired, it will go far to ward filling with honor the position which., now and then, very cheap men seem so eagerly anxious to hold at 25 a month. Amusements What thm Press Aseasa Say. "Merely Alary Ann Hundreds were turned away at the Sungalow yesterday and again last night and this week's offering bids fair to play to packed houses, just as did last week's. "Merely Mary Ann." which will be the at traction until Saturday night, is Eleanor Robson's greatest success, and Izetta Jewel Is splendid In the title role, as Is Sydney Ayies as Lancelot. AT THE TACDE1TLLB THEATERS. Another Bis Bill as Orpheum. The usual matinee today will open the new bill at the Orpheum for he week. There sennas to be the necessary variety to make It especially attractive and pleas ing to the followers of vaudeville. There is a sketch by Thomas H. Ince, and Rostna Casselll's trained dog. "Sunny South," with ten people. Combs & Stone, Wells & Sells, the Baader-LaVelle Trio and Xrorothy Drew. "Scene From Dickens" Pan tag es. Mr. and' Mrs. Edward Iyucas. tha well known English artists, in "Scenes From IMckens." will be the headline attraction at the Pantages this week. There will be plenty of other good acta, ranging from grand opera singers to burlesque tumblers. The Pantages Is always good. New Grand Bill. Today there is a new vaudeville pro gramme at the Grand and it promises to be one of the best yet- Mr. and Mrs. Forbes, well-known vaudevil le stars, head the bill In their playlet. "A Wild Rose." An acrobatic dancing specialty will be given by Miller and Tempest and Grover and Richards will appear in a refined specialty. STAR'S NEW SHOW DRAWS BIG CROWD Six New Varied Pictures New 'Songs and Gypsy Violinist on Bill. Three nations contributed yesterday to the new programme at the popular Star theater. First, there was China, where In the graat city of Hongkong, hundreds of Chinese were photographed in a series of pictures that made up a picturesque offering of "A Chinese Wedding." Evidently the contract ing parties were very high caste for the ceremonies and presents, were most elaborate and many hundreds took part in the festiv ities. England played Its part, with the story of an English lad who wanted to marry an actress. His stern father objected and so the young lady disguised herself as a modest waitress and by pla3'lng to - the whims of the old father, completely won him. Paris, France, was the scene of two very amusing comedies, one, "Fuss and Feathers." a satire on the monstrous lady's hat habit, the other. "The Doctored Dinner Pall." showing a. lot of freak occurrences that make people stop and wonder. The other pictures ail are more than ordinarily clever and the frequent laughter and applause of the audience showed that they were ap preciated. Dow B. Brink caught the public fancy with a song called "Baseball," cleverly written and cleverly rendered. The management rather outdid Itself by putting on as a special added feature, the famous Defrej. the celebrated Gypsy violin ist, whose work by its unique quality, met with so warm a reception that the young artist was compelled to respond to en cores at each performance throughout the entire day. Signor Defrej promises to change his selections daily. This was not all. Three new songs were offered through tha medium of the Chrono- phone, with the motion pictures accompany ing the same. There will be an entire change of bill commencing next Wednesday afternoon. The management has in course of preparation a prize contest which will interest every lady In the city of Portland. The orchestra, under the management of Mr. Thorn, has become a feature of the show and no tiling is presented in this de partment but the real musio appropriate to each picture. Not Commercialism Only. Philadelphia Record. It is common to stigmatize the pres ent as the age of commercialism, and America as distinctively the land of the dollar. But there never was a period in history when so many people were working1 for religious, philanthro pic and scientific ends, irrespective of pecuniary returns, as there are today, and we very much doubt if these high er ends of life are drawing as many persons In the Old World as in the New Frank L Smith Meat Company FIGHTING THE BEEF, TRUST WEST SIDE. 226 Alder Street Twfnty-fimt and Johnson Street. 188 Oibba Street Eleventh and Monta-omerr Streets Third and Jefferson Streets EAST SIDE! 512 W illiams Avenue 791 Mississippi Avenue 82 Rut Morrison Street 3S2 Bast Burnslde Street Thirty-third and Belmont Streets ASTORIA 253 Taylor Street 4 Unlontown) Twelfth and Bond Streets Genuine Spring Lamb and the choicest young Mutton, all prime selected Ore gon stock, strictly fresh are the same price at all of Smith's markets.
