OFFICE DECLARED MODEL
Candidate Tells Voters Ills Conduct
of Affairs of Treasurer lias
Proved His Capacity as
Business Man.
Replying to the unfavorable discus
sion of his candidacy for Mayor by the
Municipal Association, published In
The Oregonlan yesterday, J. E. Wer
leln, In an address before the voters
of South Portland, at Jones Hall last
night, made some pointed remarks
about that association, which he char
acterised as "an anonymous organi
sation, the personnel of which la not
disclosed, and which Is a creature of
Its own creation and responsible only
to Itself. Without assuming to men
tion names. Mr. Werleln branded the
members of the Municipal Association
as "aaaa&sws of character and "cow
.ards." I have no objection to the action of
the Municipal Association or any other
organisation In Indorsing Mr. Lombard
or any other candidate. said Mr. Wer
leln. "but I do moat seriously protest
When this association makes state
ments about me that are without foun
dation of fart, which cannot be proved
and which tn themselves are refuted
by my own record as an official and
private citlxeo.
Attention Called to -II coord.
"According to the Ideas of the Mu
nicipal Association, the personnel of
which Is not disclosed, the essential
requisite to entitle one to be a candi
date for the high and honorable posi
tion of Mayor of Portland Is the wealth
possessed by the Individual, regardless
of how that wealth was obtained. If
the Municipal Association were anxious
for good government along sane and
conservative lines it would naturally
first consider the eligibility of men on
comparing their past records In their
diff-rent walks of life.
"If the Municipal Association had
t.ik-n tho tine and trouble te Inves
tigate the methods employed in the
conducting of the affairs of the City
Treasurer's office, it would have dls
rovered that the business Is conducted
In such a way that men who travel
about the country as auditors of bond
ing companies, checking up treasury
departments are unanimous In pro
claiming this office as being a model,
my method of showing concisely the
nnanctal transactions of earn day
meeting with indorsement of all who
have come la direct contact with the
off ire.
Body Called "Self-Constituted."
"According to the Ideas of this self
constituted committee, no man In tho
humbler walks of life should dare to
seek the high and honored position of
Mayor; money, in its o- -ton. being
kins. Hut this great co,i..ry of ours
Is not built In Its governmental Ideas
on such Ideals, therefore I trust that
voters on Saturday next will effectively
show that controlling the destinies of
our city Is not In the hands of men
who do not assume authority for their
statements and circulate through the
press attacks on Individuals without a
name appearing as sponsor.
"The Municipal Association charges
that 'Mr. Werleln has been a stand
patter In his political life.'
"1 defy the Municipal Association or
any other man or set of men to show
a single Instance wherein I have been
a 'standpatter except for that which
was right. Come forth, ye assassins
of reputation' and make a fair com
parison between my life, public and
private, with that of Mr. Lombard.
"The Municipal Association further
says 'Mr. Werleln baa failed to keep up
with te procession tn the struggle for
better and cleaner city government and
we have no assurance that If he were
elected Mayor he would become more
active.'
Lombard Is Criticised.
"Ton cowards, you could easily have
discovered, while I am not a faddist
or sensationalist, that my whole life
puts the lie to such a statement. And
again: 'Mr. Werleln now thinks that
Mr. Lombard Is not pursuing a wise
course In exposing the conditions pre
vailing In the Council.'
"When did this Municipal Associa
tion get authority for such a state
ment T I stated that Mr. Lombard was
a member of the Council for II months
and that while a member he claims
to have discovered graft, corruption
and fraud. I ask. why did he permit
this condition to continue? Why did
he allow the city to be robbed? Why
didn't he hare the wrongdoers
punished? Why Isn't he making an
attempt to punish the wrongdoers
now? I- say to all citizens of Port
land that 1 will not countenance wrong
doing for a single moment, but will
speedily bring to punishment the
guilty wherever they evlst.
"Again the asaoi-latfon says: 'Mr.
Werleln has had no experience in busi
ness, bis time having been spent tn
performing clerical work at the City
llalL Wrong again, gentlemen, for
all of the financial transactions of the
. city have been handled by me alone,
and the many millions of dollars of
business transacted by the city 1 have
consummated personally, and never
. until your criticism poured forth has
there been the slightest suspicion as
to my business capacity."
rraellcal Solution Offered.
Mr. Werleln then ' forcibly said that
his statement on the commission form
of government was out before the pub
lic speaking campaign opened, as could
be proved from the records In the
Auditor's office.
"With this matter." he said, "as tn
all others. I offer a practical solution,
no other candidate declaring along
practical lines, namely the appoint
ment of a committee of IS members td
Investigate the commission form of
government and without delay report
their findings to the people.
lt shall be my purpose to give wide
publicity to all the deliberations of the
committee. Inviting criticism from all
the people, finally placing copy of pro
posed charter in the hands of the
voters, and calling special election Im
mediately thereafter, but until the new
charter goes Into effect we must work
with the tools we have and I believe I
have demonstrated my ability to ad
minister the affairs of the city faith
fully and well until a new law Is put
into operation."

1 lipend all they make, or else the
wife works hard and the husband spends
U8o says one of the characters In "The
Spendthrift" at the Ileill.
It is essentially a man's play. Every
mother's son of them, whether of the Is-now-benedlct,
wlll-be-sometime or has
been etate will relish It greatly. Its
homilies and preachments are morsels
sweet that the average man. and a few
women, will find aweet to roll under
the tongue. For Its all about the folly
and extravagance of woman kind; a sor
did, almost heart-breaking tale of the
existence that goes on under too many
American roofs.
Primarily, the story Is a plea for do
mesticity in woman kind. "God meant
women first of all to be mothers, after
that to be good mothers, and after that
they can be doctors or lawyers or car
penters or suffragettes or anything they
want." Is one line that is much ap
plauded. The really pathetic note sounded In
this story of one spendthrift Is her un
conscious foolishness and her Inability,
through long-fostered habits of thought
less self-indulgence, to realise that any
other thing matters. Her husband, an
average American husband. If one Is to
accept all the story, tells his lovely
spendthrift wife that he Is on the verge
of ruin, begs her to help htm. suggests
that they close their big establishment
and economize.
The wife, brought face-to-face with
apparent poverty, declares she will do
everything possible to help him. suggest
ing. In her turn at economising, a pleas
ure trip abroad when the house Is closed
and her Immediate need of a new auto
mobile. Mentally and physically weary of the
futile struggle, the man gives up. Twen
ty of his best years and all of his earn
ings have gone to purchase for his wife
"things other women have," and to help
her keep a social position beyond their
means. When the crash comes he tells
the brainless beauty who has squandered
the money that he must seek a position.
In the employ of another man.
"You are so thoughtless f me," she
cries, "to think when you can be so big
that you deliberately choose to place me
In a position where my friends can talk
about me."
When he tells her he Is bankrupt and
the house Is to be sold on the morrow,
she Indignantly cries. "Why you can't.
I'm giving a tea on the next afternoon."
Finally, her eyes half-opened. the
spendthrift lady goes to beg of a rich
aunt to whom she already owes large
sums.
The aunt, a kindly. If brusque, old
soul refuses help, and with the husband
abandoning hope, the girl borrows l-'O.-OOu
from an enormously rich roue, and
gives It to her husband, telling him the
aunt has let her have It-.
The big climax of the story comes at
the Juncture when the husband learns
the truth. The aunt will not make her
self partner to a lie. not even to save
her niece, and when the husband would
return the money he doesn't want to
borrow, she hands It back, saying
simply "I didn't give It to her." The
husband forces his wife to telephone
the roue to come to her apartments
and when he arrives returns the bor
rowed money and wrings from the visi
tor a complete vindication of the wo
man's honor. Then the husband leaves
her. remarking largely on the Insta
bility of women-In general and his own
wife In particular. n
If the play ended here, the lesson
would be rouca more evident In Its
effect. But for the sake of those In
the audience who don't like bicker and
quarrel over the family pursestrlngs,
or for those who haven't the purses to
haggle over, the author has consid
erately tacked on a last act. In which
we are shown the spendthrift, re
pentant and poverty-hit. living in a
tenement.
Into the poor room comes her hus
band, begging for pardon, -rather than
bestowing it. and the story ends with
the wife going back to do her very
best to eke out on a paltry 110.000 per
year, and chatting charmingly about
babies and i.ow she doles "on 'em."
Fortunately the author has not let
the actual seriousness of the subject
discussed usurp all the stage picture.
Woven into the telling Is many humor
ous flashes of speech, and through It
all runs the clean, pretty love-story
of a younger brother and sister of the
two principal characters, all of which
forms a striking and welcome contraat
to tiie main theme.
The cast is small and good In every
particular. Lionel Adams Is the hus
band, a role marked by substantiality
and ease, and standing out notably in
the quiet methods of the artist-actor.
The keynote of Mr. Adams' entire
work Is naturalness.
Dorla Mitchell, an unusually lovely
woman, gives a remarkably Interesting
study of. the spendthrift, making her
an almost tactician, falling short of It
only by the egregious self-love that
absorbed her. A thoroughly unllkeable
role. Miss Mitchell played It with a
strength of purpose that compelled at
tention, even If It gained no admira
tion for the character.
One of the best bits of the perform
ance Is the work of Mattle Ferguson
as the aunt, who describes herself as
having "one foot in the grave and one
In Wall street." The play will close
with the Sunday evening performance.
A matinee will be given tomorrow.

LABOR VOTESOUGHT
Effort Made to Give Aid to
Rushlight.
MOVE AGAINST LOMBARD
Werleln, It I Believed, Will Get
Great Many Votes of Worklnf-meo
Who Know City Treasurer
by Ixng Acquaintance.
In a final effort to bring about the
unanimous support by organized labor
of A. G. Rushlight for Mayor, officers
of the Worklngmen's Political Club
yesterday mailed to every union man
in the city a circular letter urging
support of Ru-Jhlight. The same letter
also requested trades unionists to give
their votes to Edward D. Williams, for
Municipal Judge; William H. Daly and
Ralph C. Clyde, for Counellmen-at-large,
and R. B. White for Councilman
from the Seventh Ward.
The real purpose of the letter, as
Indicated by lis text, is to divert from
Lombard all labor support. If possible.
Tho attempt of a few leaders' In the
ranks of organized labor to deliver the
votes of the laboringmen to Rushlight
has not been attended by the satisfac
tion that waa expected by the promot
ers of the movement. Thla Is apparent
from the circular letters distributed
throughout the city yesterday. As a
matter of fact, the members of the
labor unions in this city have never
before been controlled and their votes
delivered In a body In support of any
one candidate or set of candidates
through the suggestion and dictation of
any man or group of men within their
ranks.
In tomorrow's election Werleln will
receive a great many labor votes by
reason of his wide acquaintance with
the worklngmen of the city. Others,
who admire the character of campaign
I.ombard has conducted In censuring
the present Council and advocating a
commission form of government, will
support him.
WOMEN SCARE BURGLAR
Prowler Flees When Fair Residents
of Portland Heights Threaten.
A lone burglar who selected Portland
Heights last flight aa a field for his
depredations waa not only frightened
away from the first residence he at
tempted to enter, but run out of the
neighborhood by women. The laat seen
of the burglar was a dark form under
the rays of an arc light, as it buried
Itself In a heavy clump of bushes. A
crashing of twigs Indicated that the
malefactor was losing no time In get
ting away. He succeeded.
Mrs. C. S. Forney, daughter of Mrs.
Charles B. Seaman, living at Summit
Drive and Talbot road, heard a noise
at the back door about 11:30. Mrs.
Forney raised a second-story window
and the burglar stopped fumbling at
the lock to look up.- At the sight of a
head protruding from the window the
burglar almost fell backwards; then
gathered himself up and took- to his
heels. Mrs. Belle Marshall, a sister of
Mrs. Forney, had gone down stairs to
Intercept the burglar. As the robber
turned the corner of the house with a
second woman after him, he forgot all
dignity and headed straight for the
thicket.
Hurried calls were sent to the police
station and the women in the neigh
borhood, who were all aroused, kept
vigilant watch. When the police ar
rived the would-be burglar could not
be found.
CASH RESERVATIONS DUE
Old System of Holding Sleeping Car
Berths Due to Go.
Reservation of sleeplngcar berths
without a cash payment soon will be
a practice of the past, thinks F. D.
Chamberlin. superintendent In Portland
for the Pullman Company, who has
Just returned from a trip to CWcago
and Intermediate points.
Mr. Chamberlin haa agitated the
abolition of this custom for nearly a
year and since he has started his pro
test other cities have taken it up and
been successful In accomplishing the
desired end.
The delay " In securing the reform. In
Portland is due to the lack of Interest
among the railroads. It Is probably
because the Great Northern, the Cana
dian Pacific and the Milwaukee oper
ate their own sleeplngcar systems that
the new arrangement has not yet been
Introduced In Portland. However, It Is
understood that If the Pullman com
pany puts an end to the practice the
others will follow the move.
Soldiers to Meet Multnomah.
