'VThat hu proved ths moat sharply
contested municipal campaign In Ula
cltr la years will b-e decided In today's
election.
Happurtora of Mayor Simon, the Inde
pendent commission-government Don
Inee. r sanguine of hi action tf tha
voters o to too polls. Tha forces of
A. Q. Rushlight ara exceedingly confi
dent and are asserting that bo will b
elected by from to plurality.
Tha frlaoda of Oeorcs IL Thomas. Dam
ocratle nominee, disregarding tb gen
arsl con fie lion that ha cannot possibly
win. with groundless optimism ara
forecasting Tlctory for Thomas;
Socialist Are failed.
Ths Socialists ne-v.r before waited n

and In lbs contest for Mayor aspect to
pull not laea than 3 ova votes fur their
candidal. Char lea IL Ottea. The pro
hibitionists hare tUe been conducting
a vote-getting campaign for their can

election two years aco tha prohibition
ists polled nearly le votes.
Strife la tha contest for Mayor, com
bined with tha Interest virtually
every section of tha city and (roup of
voters have in soma one or mora of tb
Initiative and referendum measures to
be paused upon, will result In tha ble
arest vote over cast In a municipal elec
tion In Portland In proportion to the
total votmc strength. Tb lowest esti
mate of tha total vote that will ba cast,
according- to tha friends of tb rival
candidates for Mayor, la SS.aft. out of
the total registration of JT.tit. Soma
feet confident tha total will reach 3.
00. Mora conservative estimates acres
oa between !(. and H.eeo. It la la
distributing tha vote that tha support
ers of the rival candidates disagree.
Candidal rV Methods Contrasted.
la many ways th campaign baa
beea aa unusual one. From th begin
ning. Rushlight avoided publicity, re
frained from committing himself oa
any of the Issues befor the voters and
devoted his Urn exclusively to cam
paign work of th umbo" brand.
Mayor rimos, oa th contrary, freely
expressed himself and without reserva
lion defined his position on every quee
tlon In which voters ara concerned. He
at aa time wavered ta his advocacy of
tb commission form of government
th on big Issue la this campaign and
further convinced th people la hi
earnestness la this lass week by nam
ing a commission of IS representative
c It Leans to draft a commlssloa charter
for Portland.
Aa oa other Important questions. Mr.
Rushlight position aa to a commlssloa
charter la aa enigma. In a soft-pedal
way h has) glvea oat tb Impression
that ha la not opposeM to such a chance
of charters for tha city, but ha has
failed to convince tha voters that he
actually Is ta earnest and will, if
elected, do anything toward giving to
th people such a form vf municipal
government.
Kaabllg hi's Sincerity Doabtrd.
Packed, as he la. by th combination
which now dominates th City Council,
and la lb formation ct which b had
a directing band, any arsaloa from
Rushlight aa to a commlssloa charter
Is viewed with suspicion and distrust.
The people do not feet, considering his
associates and tha Influences that sur
round htm. that Rushlight has any real
Intention of assisting them to get n
commission charter.
In the last few days of tha cam pa Ism.
T"m Klcharuson and A A bailey did
eflecttv work for Mayor Simon on tha
slump. They Invaded several Kusb
lisht strongholds, where respectful at-tt-ntlon
was tven them aa they re
counted th achievemoota of Mayor Si
mon during th term he la now com
puting. At the same time these speak
ers impressed on their visitors th
superior qualifications of Mayor Simon
over Rushlight, and urged support of
moa as tb man best fitted for th
offwa.
Altnougb Mr. Thomas, the democratic
n mine, and several of hie party
treada maJe a thorough speech-making
rsnvass of th city, tn Impression has
Increased since last Thursday that he
cannot possibly be elected. This con
viction has resulted In bringing to
Mayor Simon's candidacy the support
of many homeowners and taxpayers
who at the beginning of tha rampaign
wee Dot Inclined to support either
tN.rr.oo or KusMUht. These voters do
not want Rushlight and. feeling that
Thomas cannot in. they are flocking
t. i;moa.
Keal th. IVrtwern Two.
The real fight t"dsy Is between Simon
ant RashTishl. Thomaa Is out of It
anJ the only wsy Mmon can be elected
la for the antl-Kushlight peopl to sup
port f imoo. The Simon people are in
sisting that very voter should go to
th polls and vote. A ot for Thomas
tn th clrcumstsnces will be wasted.
Tha aatl-Rushllght vote must b-e cen
tered oa Mmon if the Independent commission-government
nomine wins.
It Is largely Xor this raaaea taat th
supporters of Mayor Simon will bend
their efforts towards getting out tha
biggest possible vote. Th Simon peo
ple have no fear from a heavy vote.
Th lighter tb vote th greater will
be th chances of the election of Rush
light and the foisting on th peopl
of this city that character of admin
istration of municipal affairs which la
demanded by and promised to th sev
eral elements and combinations that ars
behind Rushlight, aa a result of (b
many alliances b has formed In hop
of election.

ent method of conducting the eity's business under . charter, adopted when Portland was just beginning to
grow, is old-fashioned, wasteful, inefficient and time-Iosinff. The peopl" demand a change m the form or

Commission government offers the only relief from high taxation, extravagance and irresponsibility, and
on that issue today election will be decided. vAi--t
M.vor Simon ha. declared without reservation in favor of commission government .If he " ,ected'

Mr. Rushlight. If elected, will hav a
decidedly Interesting tlm maklns; th
plums go around amonc th numerous
men to whom he has made speclflc prom
ises of the same job.
Chief of Pollc Cox Is out worklnf for
Rushlight wtlh every expectation. In
cluding an assurance from Rushlight,
that he will be retained in his present
position In event of Ruahllsht's election.
But ther ar no lewer than four other
men Just as actively working- for Rush
light to whom the same Job has been
promised.
Goddard and Coffey Rivals.
It is generally surmised that John B.
Coffey will be police commissioner If
Kushilght wins. But at the same tlm
John B. Goddard has made the declara
tion In the presence of witnesses that he
hss the assuranc "In black and whit-
from Rushlight that he Is to get t.
Job for which Coffey la slated. It was
In consideration of this promise, accord
ing to Ooddard's own atatement. that he
went out on th stump In th campaign
tor Rushlight.
Various other seekers after municipal
Jobs hav been deluded Into support of
Rushlight with the promise that If he
Is elected they will receive appoint
ments as members of the police depart
ment. Thes promises hav been made
Indiscriminately amonc men desirous of
gettlne; on the city payroll and who
wer believed to be In a position to In
fluence a few votes for Rushlight.
Police Job. Promised, Too.
As to th mora Important appoint
ments. Rushlight at best can appoint
only one man for each of the places to
be filled, regardless of the fact that h
hss promised th sam posiUon to sev
eral. But when It cornea to promlslne
appointment to positions In the Police
department as patrolmen, the absurdity
of some of Rushlight s wholes! prom
ises Is exposed. Patrolmen tn the police
servtc ar all under civil service, and
the Mayor has about as much authority
to appoint patrolmen In the City of
Portland as has the Sultan of Turkey.
Th. only way In which any man can
gain a plac In th pollc servlc.
through a civil servlc examination, re
gardlesa of how many promises a thrirty
candidal for Mayor may make.
If Rushlight Is elected there will be a
small army of dls.piolntel 3?to-r
following the announcement by Kusn
llght of his appointees.
Goddard Tells of Promise.
