Max Pwerdllk was nominated for the
office of Boy Mayor by the Portland
Newsboys' Association. The vote stood
21 to 17. the other candidate brlns;
Mark Cohen. Abe Welnstein and Nate
Casler were also In the race when fha
first ballot was taken, but left the
field to Swerdlik and Cohen after that.
The meeting- was held at newsboys"
headquarter. 232 Chamber of Com

ducted their campaign In a business
like manner, bavins; had cards printed,
which they circulated amonp the other
newsboys. Every boys' orsanlsatlon
In the city, as well as the schools, may
Place nominee In the field. Voting- for
the candidates will commence Friday.
The Portland Newsboys' Association
waa organised 11 years ago with a
membership of 24. It now ha on Its
rolls 185 members. Purine; the 11
years of Its existence the associstlon
has been compelled, owlrs; to lack of
a permanent home, to hold the boys to
rether and to keep them Interested by
(tames, outir.s- camps and other purely
social activities. Consequently the
progress has not been as marked as
It doubtlees would have been In other
and more favorable circumstance.
Mowey la Still Needew.
This single handicap now haa been
removed In the purchase of the old
Neighborhood House, at First and Hall
streets, which has become the News
boys' Home and Clubhouse. Those ac
tively Interested In the association be
lieve that Its object should appeal to
the people of Portland and that it
should not be a difficult matter to raise
the funds still needed to relieve the
new home from debt. One of the ef
fort In this direction 1 the present
boy Mayor campaign.
The managers of the contest are
confident that th Interest In voting;
for the candidates will draw out many
a penny that otherwise might not come
to the association coffers. And the
funds resllsed from the election will
be applied to wiping; out the debt upon
the Newsboys' Home.
The officers of the association see
no reason why the organisation should
not crow rapidly In Interest and In
fluence now, just as similar organiza
tions hsve grown In other cities, nota
bly Pan Francisco, Chlcsgo, Detroit
and Toledo. The underlying; purpose
of these associations Is the same to
save the so-called bad boy, to find the
good he haa In him and develop It.
This task enlists the activities of th
good boy and thus the organization
appeals naturally to all sorts and con
ditions of boy.
Membership BeetrlctJoa Removed.
Heretofore the Portland association
has Interested itself almost exclusively
In the newsboys, but with the acqui
sition of permanent headquarters it is
proposed to have the membership in
clude all boys of the city between th
ages of 7 and 18 who are engaged In
earning their own living- This Is but
a part of the plan for expansion that
the official and other actively Inter
ested have In view for th new home
and the association.
"It should be remembered," said
rvrr E. Kessey, of the association,
"that our organization Is sef-goern-Ing.
Ths boy are taught to govern
themselves. We believe that If boy
ar taught to govern themselves and
to rain self-respect, they will com
mand more respect from the public and
their assoclatea by deserving it. There
fore the most practical work of the
association In boy-bulldlng la don by
the boys themselves.
Iaatraetloa Is Practical.
"This campaign for a boy Mayor, to
hold office during th Rose Festival
week, while bringing needed funds to
the Newsboys' Horns. Is directly In line
with our Idea of self-government. Th
lads are Instructed In the better ele
ments of our politics; they learn how
to vote, how to campaign, how to pre
pare .themselves for the actual civlo ,
duties which a few years will place
upon their shoulders.
"Naturally our association looks to
the public for a generous expression
of sympathy with our object and that
means liberal voting at 1 cent a vote
for the boy Mayor candidates."

"License Applied For" Plan Ham

Made; Fines Light.
"Speeding automobiles have killed
two fine dogs and a valuable horse for
me, and I have nothing more to lose
hut the children." writes H. E. Pennell,
287 North Twenty-fifth street, in a let
ter to Chief of Police Slover, protesting
against persistent speeding near his
home, which la on one of the favorite
routes to the down-river roadhouses.
The complaint Is one of many which
have been received since fine weather
feegan to favor joy-riding.
Though the Municipal Court has
adopted the policy of holding all high
rates of speed unreasonable within the
city limits, few arrests have been made,
and in the cases taken before the court
low fines were imposed. Meanwhile a
continuous round of protests is reach
ing Chief Slover.
The police say they are greatly ham
pered by the abuse of the "license ap
plied for" scheme, practiced by some
hundreds of automobile drivers, origi
nating in a short period of grace which
Chief Slover allowed when the state
law went into effect and applications
for licenses poured into the office of
the Secretary of State faster than the
papers could be issued.
Police assert that many machines
bearing cards to this effect are those
of owners who have made no attempt
to procure license, or having one, leave
off the registry number to avoid identification.

Beginning at 30 o'clock this morn
