Farther and vigorous denunciation of

Werleln in his candidacy 'or Mayor
last night. Mr. Werleln addressed an
audience of enthusiastic voters at
Malr-a Hall. Albpa. at S o'clock and
at the conclusion of this meeting went
to Kern Park, where he spoke to an
other crowd. He recetTed urgent in

It was Impossible for him to cover
more than tha two meetings he at

Men Called Traducers.

Mld. "Who are they? Let ma state, be

ganization which secured at tha hands
of the errand Jury tha Indictment of
George' H. Williams, tha grand old man
of Oregon.' who was at that tima
Mayor of the city. This Indictment
was so manifestly unjust that John
Manning. Democratic District Attor
ney, had It dismissed, for which I say
all honor to John Manning. Through
the bounding of this same Municipal
Association It was made Impossible for
Mayor Williams to solve great ques

Lombard Declared Guilt;.
"With these men. money Is king; with
me an honorable name la king. They
worship at the shrine of money and are
not able to see beyond. They dare hold

the guiltiest: Lombard, the father cf his
newly-dtscovered paving trust; Lom

the people, yet hetraya them by furnish

been secured except through his posi

Portland do not want such a character
for their Mayor."
Mr. Werleln then'took up the build
ing of tha Broadway bridge, promising
tlie speedy completion of that structure.
He rehearsed In brief the public ad
dresses delivered during the campaign,
showing the powers of the Mayor and
that he la the responsible head of the
municipal government. Mr. Werleln
. closed his address by defying any mnn

LOMBARD IiETTINti FAVORITE
Sum or $1000 Posted at'lO to 8 In
Ills Favor Is Not Taken.
Betting on today's election has cen
tered almost entirely on the Republican
Mayoralty contest. -Late last night
11000 posted on Lombard at 10 to 8 re
mained uncovered at a Washington
street cigar store. Several bets of $100
at even money have been made on Lom
bard and Rushlight.
A few small bets have been placed
that rone of the present members of the
Council will be , renominated. These
wagers as to Councilmen, however, have
been confined largely to the respective
chances of those Councilmen whom
Lombard haa styled as "undesirables."
Treasurer Content Is Lively.
With four candidates for the nomina
tion, a lively contest will be decided to
day when tha Republican voters select
i their nominee for City Treasurer.
f Friends of Harry C. Allen, one of the
quartet, have been especially active In
Ms behalf since tha campaign opened.
Mr. Allen was for many years connected
with the wholesale drug firm of Snell.
lieltshu A Woodard and la a long-time
resident of thla city. That he Is not
only deserving but is in every way qual
ified for tha office ha seeks are among 4
the reasons advanced by his supporters
why he should be nominated In today's
election.
LABOR. PICKS PALY TO WIX
Efforts Are Concentrated on Candl-
-. date for Council.
Officers of the Workingmen's Politi
cal Club last night announced that they
expected that three of tha five candi
dates indorsed by that organlaation
would be nominated in today'a pri
maries. The three are -William H.
Daly and Ralph C Clyde for Council-men-at-Large
and Edward D. Williams
for Municipal Judge. Tfce club also
gave 4ts Indorsement early in the cam
paign to A. O. Rushlight for Mayor and
K. B. White, candidate for Councilman
from the Seventh Ward. x
Representatives of organized labor
have been particularly active In sup
port of the candidacy of Daly as a
member of the Council. The tradea
unionists have centered their fight, ao
far as the Council Is concerned, on
Daly, on tha theory that organized la
bor la entitled to one of the IS mem
bers of the City Council and for the
further reason they regard Daly tha
proper man to represent them. Mr.
Daly Is president of tha Oregon State
Federation of Labor.
CIVIL- SERVICE RILES BROKEN"
Marked - Sample Ballots Given to
Firemen Favor Kusliliglit.
In violation of the civil service rules
In the city charter, supporters of A. O.
Rushlight yesterday continued their dis
tribution of marked sample ballots. The
violation of the civil service regulations
consisted in scattering these ballots, with
an "X" marked prominent before Rush
light's name, among tha members of the
city fire department.
While many of the members of the
fire department feel friendly towards
Rushlight, who labored to secure for
them and other employes of the city in
creased salaries, thla action haa pro
voked a feeling of resentment among
those firemen who read and think for
themselves.

himself during the last few days of
the campaign by submitting to the
press sigired statements In which he
sought to criticise Lombard's record
as a Councilman without' advocating
anything In support of his own can
didacy. He has been Indorsed by tha
Workingmen s Political Club, repre
senting organised labor, and haa the
zealous support of certain of the city
employes, whose salaries ha assisted to
Increase during the last year.
For the first time in years, the voters
of the city are thoroughly aroused In
tha election of Councilmen. Of the
five members Lombard has designate!
"undesirables" Baker, Belding, Con-
cannon. Drlscoll and Kubll Baker may
be nominated. If he Is It will be due
alone to his personal popularity. Beld
ing does not have a Republican oppon
ent in his ward, but those Republicans
who are opposing htm will register
their protest In today's election by
crossing out Beldlng's name and writ
ing the name of John Montag, a Demo
crat, on the ballot.
City Auditor Barbur and City Attor

to succeed themselves, their opponents,
K. M. Lance and H. C. King, respective
ly, apparently not having a chance.
Tha race for City Treasurer is a close
one. with William Adams believed to be
slightly In the lead, although Harry C
Allen has been making substantial
gains the past week. J. H. Richmond
and Oscar P. Miller, the other two can
didates, have been particularly active
and will surrender first place in the
contest to no other aspirant.
live Runnlns for Judge.
Rqually keen and even more uncer
tain Is tha contest for Municipal Judge.
There are five candidates for this nom
ination and each feels confident of re
ceiving the desired plurality of votes.
With the Democrats, today's election
will be a tame affair save for three
contests In the nomination of Council
man from three wards First, Seventh
and Eighth. While George H. Thomas
Is the only Democratic candidate for
Mayor, it waa learned yesterday that
the fmlends of Dr. Harry Lane by writ
ing his name In the ballot will seek to
force the party nomination on him.
Thomas' friends have suspected this
move and will be on the alert this aft
ernoon to frustrate such an attempt.
Thev will see to It that all supporters
of Thomas get to the polls and vote for
him. . -

GAT LOMBARD Because I stand for
honest, clean government- Because
I oppose tha present City Council.
Because I have corns out openly and

element of the city Is fighting me. Be
cause I stand for a fair deal to alL Be
cause I have made an aggressive fight,
against strong odds, for a change In the
men who misrepresent us. Because I
stand for a commission form of govern

do not encourage decent men to run for
office, then you turn this city over to
graft, greed and personal gain. Because
I have made an open fight and answered
every question that was asked me and
because my opponents have not. Because
the hour Is here when decency must
assert Itself and deliver this city from
corporate Influences.
A. G. Rushlight As Councilman for
these six years 1 have consistently op
posed the taking of public property for
private use. not before campaigns for
campaign purposes, but at all times.
Typical Instances of this course are to
be found in my opposition to the va
cation of the streets for the beeflt of
the Inman-Poulscn corporation: for the
vacation of streets In favor of the Ter
minal Company: on the claim of the
Southern Pacific in its perpetual fran
chise on tth street, and on the recent
attempted steal of the East Side streets
for the railroad company. I have always
been In favor of the commission form
of government and will take active steps
to bring about an Immediate submis
sion of this form of government to the
decision of the voters. I have been
against extravagance and private ap
propriations. I opposed the last blanket

"Violating the provisions of the cor
rupt practices act. Paul Wesslnger,
representing the breweries and liquor
Interests, has sent out marked ballots
with the name of Rushlight for Mayor
at the head of the list," charged Gay
Lombard In his address at Piedmont
last night. "On the same ballot were
also marked the names of tha members
of the City Council, whom I have destg
nated as 'undesirable,' and who are
seeking re-election.
"These marked ballots have been dis
tributed throughout tiie city for the
purpose of Influencing votes for those
candidates who, if elected, will not be
antagonistic to the interests that are
responsible for circulating these bal
lots. This Is only another evidence of
the extent to which the breweries,

ters, and I am either your representa
tive In public life or the representative

Meeting Is Enthusiastic.
Nearly 200 persons attended this
meeting, which was the most enthusi
astic Mr. Lombard has held. The
speaker continued his advocacy of a
commission form of government for the
city and discussed in detail that plan
of municipal administration. Voters
were urged to exercise the greatest
care in selecting nominees for the
Council if an Improvement In the con
ditions complained of under the present
system were to be remedied. .
"Who shall we support for Council
men?" inquired a voter in the audience.
"It Is not for me to assume to dic
tate to you who you should support for
Councilmen." replied Mr. Lombard, "but
I do think It is entirely proper for me
to tell you whom. In my opinion, you
should not vote for. Tho nve 'unde
sirable' members of that body who are
seeking re-election Baker, Belding.
Concannon, Drlscoll and Kubll should
not be returned to the Council. They
are not the right kind of men to rep
resent you. They do not stand for the
best Interests of the city."
Scores of questions relating to the
present Council and the commission
plan were asked by the audience. This
gave Mr. Lombard an opportunity to
present more clearly his Ideas on
various phases of municipal affairs that
lack of time prevented him from taking
up In his direct address.
Following tjie adjournment of the
meeting Mr. Lombard hurried to Wood
lawn, where.. for 20 minutes, he talked
to another gathering of voters.

PENDLETON1. Or., May 5. (Special.)
Whether the city of Pendleton shall
rebate the taxes on the Pendleton
Woolen Mills plant is the question with
which the local City Council is now
wrestling. The problem will be solved
next Wednesday evening or before.
When the mills were erected, the
Council agreed to exempt the plant
from taxation for a period of 10 years.
It was found this was illegal. A system
of rebating the taxes each year was
therefore evolved. This year the City

BAILEY ATTACKS
lilCTWi
State Food Commissioner
Says Ficts Alleged Do Not
Constitute Crime.
HEARING TO BE WEDNESDAY
Attorney Declares That Cane Has
Resolved Itseir Into Persecu-,
tion and That It Should
Be Dropped.
Technical weakness of the Indictment
charging mm with failure to publisti
bulletins, as required Dy law, m m
chemical tests performed In his office,
is to be made the defense for a second
time of J. W". Bailey, State Dairy and
Food Commissioner, who, instead of
pleading yesterday afternoon to the
charge against him, filed a demurrer to
the validity of his Indictment.
Samuel White, one of Bailey's at
torneys, appeared for him before Judge
Gantenbein and offered the demurrer
in lieu of a plea on the part of his
client. The'court set 9:30 o'clock next
Wednesday morning as the time for
arguments on the demurrer. If the
demurrer is overruled at that time.
Bailey will be required to make a plea.
His case will then be set for trial.
First Indictment Dismissed. '
Bailey was first, indicted last Winter.
After the case went to trial. Bailey's
attorneys asked the jj court t dismiss
the case on the grounds that the in
dictment failed to say that the chem
ical analyses, which would make tha
publication of the monthly bulletins
necessary, had been made. Judge Mor
row found that for that reason the in
dictment was not valid, and the case
was dismissed.
Following this. Deputy District At
torney Fitzgerald applied to the court
for an order referring the casa back
to the grand jury. A delay was had
in the issuing of the order, and the
day It was signed tha grand Jury re
turned another indictment against
Bailey for tha same offense for a
later month.
The demurrer filed yesterday In
Bailey's behalf charges that the indict
ment is invalid for three reasons: First,
it is alleged that it does not substan
tially conform to chapter VII. title 18,
of Lord's. Code of Oregon, which pro
vides how an indictment must be drawn.
Second, it Is alleged t'aat the Indict
ment charges Bailey with committing
more than one crime, though it falls
to specify what the crimes are. Third.
It is contended that the facts stated
In the indictment do not constitute a
crime
Indictment Is Specific.
The new indictment was prepared
with much care and gives in detail
the chemical analyses that b,ad been
made in Bailey's office and of which
it was asserted that a. report should
have been made in the monthly bulle
tin for March that Bailey should have
issued.
When asked yestdrday afternoon
what two crimes he Interpreted the
Indictment as charging Bailey with
having committed. Attorney White re
tilied that he was not prepared to
Ljnako that feature known until the
case should come up for argument.
He refused also to indicate in what
specific manner the indictment fails to
conform with the section of the code
providing how it must be drawn.
. Mr. White said that the case against
Bailey had resolved Itself into a per
secution Instead of a prosecution. It
was his opinion, he said, that the ac
tion of the , Legislature in freeing
Bailey of any blame in regard to his
alleged failure to perform his official
duties should be sufficient, and that
it was not right for him to be forced
to defend himself for the same thing
in a court of justice.

Falling In every other attempt to get
the American Bonding Company to re

George W. Oliver to complete his. con
tract for bulling a cottage and barn on
the County poor farm, for whom the

The County took a similar action re
cently with another bonding firm which
refused to pay claims against It for
the failure of contractors to complete
work on the east wing of the new
Courthouse. The announcement that
the County would refuse to accept the
company's bond in future caused a
settlement of the claim almost Imme
diately. To Wlbur & Spencer, the Portland
representatives of the American Bond
ing Company, the County Court sent
the following letter yesterday:
"In regard to the George W. Oliver
matter, which we have been endeavor
ing in every way to adjust, we wish to
notify you that henceforward no bond
by your company will be approved by
the County Court until this matter, for
which your bonding company is surety,
is adjusted. We are forced to take this
position for the reason that tho men
who have performed tha labor and
furnished the material for the build
ings should have their money and are
importuning us dally for the same. We
are placed in the position that we
cannot satisfy their demands without
probably waiving some of our rights
under the bond.
"You promised to send us a letter
assuring- us of the good faith of your
company, but you have failed to send
It. and we feel that it is our duty
to protect these claims, and shall use
'every endeavor to do so."
