SI
FOR NEW CHARIER
Belief Declared That City Af
fairs Can Be Administered
Better by Commission.
MAYOR REVIEWS HIS RULE
Instances Cited of Rejection of Bids
and Readvertlslng to Secure
Ixwer Prices for City Work
and SaTe Taxpayers.
Relating- his own experience as hav
ing had general supervision of all the
departments of the city government,
and declaring that he believes the af
fairs of the cfty can be better adminis
tered by having a man in charge of
each department endowed with execu
tive power therein. Mayor Rushlight, at
a meeting held last night in Cartels
Hall. Sixty-seventh street and Foster
road. Southeast, came out squarely for
the commission form of government as
proposed In the charter which will be
voted on May S.
Mayor Rushlight said he believed
that the commission form of govern
ment will be a step toward the greater
efficiency which it has been his aim
to foster In the administration of
municipal business. He expressed nis
appreciation of the work of the com
mission which he appointed and which
prepared the commission charter for
submission to the people, and said that
In submitting the charter he consid
ered he was simply doing his duty and
redeeming his promise to give the vot
ers of Portland a chance to say wheth
er or not they desire a change from
the present form of government.
In reviewing his administration.
Mayor Rushlight cited several In
stances In which money had been saved
to the city, among them being the
oiling of streets, and the construction
of the Sullivan Gulch sewer. In both
cases all the first bids having been re
jected. On resdvertising. 30u0 was
saved on the oiling contracts, and IIS,.
00 on the sewer contract. The Arst
oiling bids were rejected because the
Mayor, knowing the price of oil. con
sidered them too high, and the sewer
bids were readvertlsed because he be
lieved that a better Job could be ob
tained by a change in the specifications
substituting Belgian blocks for brick.
I.lgaa la "RepablleaB."
A flare of old-time red Ore of party
loyalty was thrown over the meeting
when John F. Ligan. opening his ad
dress with the declaration. "I am a
Republican," made an earnest plea for
Republicans to stand by Mr. Rushlight,
whom he characterised as a Repub
lican worthy of their support and one
who had always stood by the verdict
of his party. Mr. Logan compared the
party record of Gay Lombard with that
of Mr. Rushlight, maintaining that Mr.
Lombard. Instead of accepting defeat
gracefully to years ago. when Mr.
Rushlight had beaten him for the Re
publican Mayoralty nomination, had
been first and foremost in promoting
thecandldacy and advocating tha elec
tion of Joseph Simon as an Independent
candidate.
Mr. Logan had been interpolating his
remarks with appeals to Ed Wright.
Mr. Lombard's campaign manager, who
was present, to bear witness as to their
truth or falsity. Wright, goaded by
Mr. Logan's patronizingly satiric man
ner, arose and repIleL
"Didn't you say that the commission
charter is unconstitutional?"
"Vou bet I did." yelled Logan, "and
I say so yet- Some features of it I
considered to be absolutely unconstitu
tional, and my support of Mr. Rush
light Is only another proof of the fact
that people of all sorts of opinions on
the charter are coming to his support
because they know he has made good
and will make good again.
Catechism la Opened.
Mr. Ixigan then attempted to cate
chize Mr. Wright concerning the move
ments of Mr. Lombard following the
primary election two years ago. but
both men were shouting at the tops
of tttir voices and the crowd rocking
with glee. It was impossible for the one
to make his questions or theother to
make his answers clear.
D. Solis Cohen addressed the meet
ing, reveiwlng the record of Mayor
Rushlight, as did also W. H. Fitzgerald.

man and aspirant for the Republican
nomination for Mayor, demanding Im
mediate grand Jury Investigation of
the shortage of Fred R. Snodgrass, a
Water Department clerk for the city
who disappeared nearly two years ago
and whose accounts were discovered
subsequently to be approximately
$2500 short.
Mr. Evans asked Mr. Magulre wny it
was that he had not taken the matter
of indicting Snodgrass up sooner and
received a reply that only lately had
Mr. Magulre become aware of what it
was possible for him to do.
The alleged snodgrass peculations
covered 149 accounts, some of which
have been outlawed by the criminal
statute of limitations, and It will be
necessary now to go through all the
books again. Mr. Magulre further de
mands In his letter grand Jury investi

Bull Moose Mayoralty Candidates
Declare Proposed Measure Is Step
in Right Direction and Criti
. else Rushlight Regime. .
"Richard W. Montague, one of the
framers of the proposed charter and
one of Its most persistent advocates
the attorney for the Warren Con
struction Company, the biggest paving
trust In Portland," declared Gay Lom
bard. Republican candidate for Mayor.
speaking before a crowd of men and
women In Ellers Hall yesterday, under
the auspices of the Political Equality
League. Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden presided.
"I want to ask right now whether
you men and women think that Mr.
Montague has overlooked his paving
company s Interests in sitting on mis
charter commission? Do you suppose
that he would be recommending a
charter that would put the paving
trust out of business? They are say
ing that the paving trust is fighting the
proposed charter: I guess not."
Mr. Lombard also reviewer reatures
of the proposed charter, denouncing it
as "a vicious document, which would
turn the city's government over to one
man.
Albee Sees Advance.
H. Russell Albee. Progressive can
didate for Mayor, said he had decided
that he would support the proposed
charter, although he realizes, he said,
that It Is nqt perfect; he took the
ground that it has both good and bad
features, but that the good outweigh
the bad and it should be adopted as a
forward step In the city's government
"Mr. Lombard is right In saying that
not all of the faults of the present
time are chargeable to the charter,
said Mr. Albee. "He Is right when he
says that much Is .due to the individual
who administers: I want to tell you
that when experts come from New
York or anywhere else and lay all of
the blame on the system, they don't
know what they are talking about.
The fact that the present administra
tion makes no answer to the serious
charges made against It, such 'as an
annual waste of 1250,000 m the water
department, seems to Indicate that
they must be true.
Kellaher Favors Charter.
Dan Kellaher, Progressive candidate
for Mayor, said that he wondered why
the Rushlight administration had not
used the 875,000 bond issue voted by the
DeoDle two years ago for a garbage
collection system and why the Rush
light administration did not Install a
meter system In the water department,
as the people had ordered. He de
clared himself In favor of the proposed
charter, saying that, under Its provi
sions, he believed, better government
could be obtained.
L. M. Lenoer also addressed the
meeting, explaining the charter, which
he said he favored. He said he con
demned the present charter largely
because of the fact that citizens cannot
get into the City Council meetings, but
must sit up In the gallery. He severely
criticised the present city admlnlstra
fion for failure to correct conditions
and scored Mayor Rushlight personally
for vetoing an ordinance supmmmg to
the neonle the question of common-
users on all East Side railroad franchises.
One woman was specially iniereisea
. i a tt1.
n knowing irom Ajoiii uh i a umu ivcuo-
her what they would do for the women
regarding public markets. Both said
they would do all they could to pro
vide them.
Mayor Is Challenged Again.
Sneaklner to about 200 men and wom
en In Sons of Hermann Hall last night,
Mr. Lombard again challenged Mayor
RushllKht to meet him in a puonc re
bate on the proposed charter. Hs de
clared that he had. twice asked the
Mayor to debate it with him and that
both times the Mayor had refused cn
t.e ground that he was too busy or
hat he did not wish to lend nimseix to
advertise Lombard meetings.
I contend, eald Mr. Lombard, tn.n
thus excuses are flimsy: that they are
weak answers to a public demar.d for
ghi on the Mayor's atttltude la inn
regard. He certainly must favor the
charter, as it Is practically, you eight
sy hi own child. He was cliai-man
of iho commission which drafted it and
he must favor It, hence I would like to
have him meet me in public and debate
its points. ' Therefore. 1 again chal-
enge him to debate with me at any
time and place between this and the
close of the campaign. I think the
people of Portland would like to hear
such a debate and get the information
they are seeking about the proposed
charter."
Mr. Lombard dwelt espcially upon
the section of the charter relative to
the Mayor, pointing out how the Mayor,
by having the power to assign the four
commissioners, to fix their duties and
to shift them from time to time and
also change their duties, could, by care,
ful and subtle manipulation, namo every
appointive officer In Portland.
Civil Service Discussed.
Mr. Lombard insisted that the pro
posed charter nullifies civil service,
saying:
"In section 20 you will find a clause
which says that provision shall be made
for the transfer of employes from one
department to another. Now. I contend
that, under this provision, the Mayor
and Commissioners could compel abso
lute submission In political . matters
and In matters of policy by forcing
employes to abide by their wishes or
suffer the humiliation and trouble of
being changed, say from the police to
the fire, water, engineer's or street
cleaning department."
A. E. Gebhardt presided and gave a
brief talk in German before Mr. Lom
bard spoke.
