"Mr. Rushlight is a man of the peo

crowd at Sixth and Washington streets.
"He knows what It Is to work with his
hands, and he knows what It Is to suc

not confined to any particular class or
stratum of society. He recognises the
equality of all In the affairs, of city
government, and there is no one who

BERLIN". May S. (Special.) In the
budget committee of the Reichstag,
where the army estimates were under
discussion, the Prussian Minister of
War replied to the perennial question
why Jews cannot become officers in the
army. He stated what has been
stated by himself and his predecessors
year by year namely, that the army
administration acts on the principle of
equality of rights, and is ready at all
times to examine each individual case.
He added, however, that he was not in
a position to Interfere directly in the
election of officers. A representative
of the Center party protested sharply
against the unfavorable treatment of
Jewish aspirants for the rank of offi
cer, and asked if the choice of reserve
officers might be taken away from
the reserve officers' corps and trans
ferred to the active officers' corps.
If this could be done, he stated, many
causes for complaint in respect of un
equal treatment on religious or polit
ical grounds would be removed.
General von Heerlngen declared that
there were many objections to the
proposal, one being the fact that ac
tive officers could have no knowledge
of the standing and other personal re
lationships of the candidate. A repre
sentative of the Radical parties wished
to know how many Jewish one-year
volunteers had been promoted to be
aspirants for officer's rank or had been
selected as officers In the Reserve dur
ing the past year, to which the War
Minister replied that no statistics on
the subject existed, and that accord
ing to the regu'.atlons every qualified
one-year volunteer could be promoted,
lrresDectlve of his religion. He added
that full freedom must be left to the
officers' corps to make selections from
th. . nnlrin t Thn ren.iv to tne J
mand made by a Socialist deputy that 1

Jewish applicants should be received
In the military schools was to the ef
fect that the latter were Christian edu
cational institutions. The subject was
discussed at length, but the War Min
ister made no further statement.

CANDIDATE FAVORS PURCHASE

Garbage Reduction Plant Outside of
City and Sale of By-Products
Advocated.
H. R. Albee, Progressive candidate
for Mayor, In his address laBt njzb
in the North Portland Library, Kill
lngsworth avenue, declared that he
stood for a municipal house-cleaning,
elimination of corrupt public men fro
office, raising the standard of public
purity, and. If the new charter were
adopted, the election of one or more
women as commissioners.
Mr. Albee pointed to the reports of
the municipal experts In support of his
contention that a house-cleaning is
needed In Portland, although, he said It
had been apparent for some time. In
speaking of the commission charter Mr.
Albee declared that he favored com
mission form both in the city and
state and the charter as proposed be
cause he considered Its good points
outweighed its defects.
"We must have a commission gov
ernment," he said, "and if we get the
charter tomorrow we can work under
It until Its defects have been remedied;
but after all it is a matter of men
under either charter and the Mayor
could, under the present charter, stop
the lax methods that have been
brought to light."
Mr. Albee declared that he favored
the purchase of Council Crest for Its
rfreat beauty and value and also the
bond Issue for parks and playgrounds,
but was opposed to the purchase of
Ross Island at the present time. He
said that the police department is not
conducted In the interest of good gov
ernment, for the reason that the Chief
o Police is not permitted to so run
the department.
In answer to a question from J. H.
Nolta Mr. Albee declared himself In
favor of a garbage-reduction plant lo
cated outside of the city where the
by-products might be saved and sold
He said that such a method of dispos
ing of garbage would be less expensive
to taxpayers, and that, instead of less
than one-half the people being served
as at preselt, all the people would have
their garbage taken care of. Mr. Al
bee answered many questions from the
women In the audience about public
affairs, and he commended them for
their Interest.
Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden and C. H. Beard
spoke briefly. Mrs. Hidden Indorsed
the commission charter and urged wo
men to vote for It. She said that Mr.
Albee Is the logical candidate of the
women for the office, of Mayor.

Addressing a large number of men
and women In Mair's Hall. Williams
avenue and Russell street, last night.
Gay Lombard, Republican candidate for
Mayor, outlined what he called a con
structive policy, citing what he will do
along certain lines in case of his nom
ination and election. This he did in
addition to denouncing the proposed
charter, which he said he believed win
be beaten today by a good majority
and hp.xides reading: a telegram from
William F. Humphrey, president of the
Olympic Club, of San Francisco, deny
ing a statement by George L. Baker
that Mr. Lombard is a resioent 01 mo
Francisco.
"While Mr. Baker, who seeks to be
a Commissioner under the proposed
charter at 15000 a year, whereas he now
draws 25 a month as a Councilman,
brought forth a letter from one of the
bellboys of the Olympic Club, saying
I was a resident of San Francisco, I
shall read to you a telegram from the
president of the club, saying I never
claimed to be a resident or mat city,
said Mr. Lombard. He then read the
telegram.
Magnire Cltea Figures.
After Mr. Lombard finished his speech
Councilman MagUire. who is a candi
date for Mayov, was Invited by tne
chairman to say something, tie ac
cepted and for 30 minutes read figures
which he said proved that tne nusn-
llght administration is the most ex
travagant in the history of the city.
Ha said that waste and . Inefficiency
characterise every department, and
laid the blame upon Mayor Kusnugni.
He said the system is not at fault, but
that the Mayor, who has the control
of the various boards, is to blame for
these conditions.
Mr. 11 a ru Ire declared that city taxes
are the highest In the history of Port
land, and said that the reason is that
there is gross waste and extravagance
on every hand. He advised the people
to change and put in some man who
will work for them, Instead ot lor spe
clal interests.
"I want to tell you about some things,
which I pledge the people of Portland
that I will do If they elect roe as
Mayor," said Mr. Lombard. "In the first
place, I will appoint as memuers-ui
the various boards and commissions
under my Jurisdiction such men and
women only as are fitted by experience
and ability to perform the particular
work to which they are to be ap
pointed. Political favoritism will not
be a part of my policy; I will eliminate
politics from the city s Dusiness.
Pledge Is Set Fort a.
T nladare myself to appoint a Chief
of Police who will give service to the
public and who will enrorce tne laws
and I will insist that every man who
livas from the earnings of fallen
women shall be arrested and sent to
the rockpile; I will use the police force
not to play politics lor me, out to pro
tect the public. "
"I also pledge myself to build a
public auditorium for the people of
Portland, without delay; tne Donas
have been at hand for more than two
years and I see no excuse for this de
lay. In case of my election I promise
to have an auditorium soon, built by
Portland or at least Oregon architects.
"I pledge myself to the people of
Portland that I will aee that they have
public markets, if they see fit to vote
an Issue of bonds for that purpose. I
believe in publio markets, and will do
all I can to get them for this city
without delay.
"I will say that I believe the people's
will should be respected and, should
I be elected Mayor, I will not hold up
any bond Issues that are voted by the
people for various projects. Take the
Issue of bonds that was voted two years
ago for a garbage collection system
not a cent s worth of them have been
sold; we have no collection system
worthy of the name. I will absolutely
provide one by selling the bonds and
will see that a good system is installed.
Beaeflt to Public Promised.
"I ' believe in plenty of parks and
playgrounds and will use any bonds
voted by the people in tne best possible
manner and will see to It that every
section of the city gets a square deal
in this respect
"If the people of Portland see fit to
elect me Mayor, I pledge myself to
make of the Mayor's office a publio In
formation bureau that will supply any
information to any person at any time
of the day, from early morning until
night: I will welcome the people at
the office and will guarantee to supply
them with whatever information they
seek when they come there; the office
will not be closed at noon and no one
will be turned away; I will not send
people around' from one department to
another, but will see that they are
properly cared for." '

CHARIER MADE TARGE!
MRS. mjXIWAY ADVISES WOMEN
TO VOTE AGATXST IT.
"Got a New Charter a Real Com
mission Charter," Declaration of
Suffrage Leader. -
"A perfect example of how not to do
It; a concoction In which no woman
had a voice; a document filled with
Jokers;" like a bear circling a trap
he puts his foot in it and he Is caught;
If we put our foot In this charter trap
we are caught; vote against it. be
cause yon have a right to be repre
sented on the charter commission, and
then, after you have wiped it away,
get a new charter a real commission
charter but whatever you do tomor
row, vote "no on the charter."
Such was the summary made by Mrs.
Abigail Scott Dunlway of tha proposed
charter and of her advice to "my
daughters," delivered before a crowd
of women that packed the big audi
torium In the Selling-Hlrsch building
to the doors yesterday. The meeting
was presided over by Alice R. Nugent.
Brief speeches were made by James
Maguire and Gay Lombard, Republican
candidates for Mayor, and by H. R.
Albae. Progressive candidate for
Mayor.
Feeling that It was her duty to ap
pear In public and for the last time lift
her voice against the adoption of the
proposed charter, Mrs. Dunlway at
tended the meeting. When asked
whether it would give the city better
government, she arose, supported by
two women, and made a most de
nunciatory speech against the proposed
charter and "the official ring which
concocted it and set It out for the peo
ple to adopt."
"My daughters." said Mrs. Dunlway
"for I like to call you my daughters
I am so much older than you are I
want to say to you that you do not
have to vote for the charter tomorrow
on the ground that if you do not you
are voting against commission, govern
ment. The charter you are to vote on
is not a commission plan form at all,
but is hodgepodge, in the making ot
which not one of you had a voice., and
I tell you to vote against it. Vote no.
If you do nothing else tomorrow. See
to it that this concootion, put forth
by an official ring, which is a quack
nostrum, supposed to cure all public
ills. Is cleaned off the boards. Then
get a commission to frame a new char
ter on the commission plan and make
sure you have representation on it.
Tou are entitled to that and you must
demand it."
When a woman arose and asked if
the Mayoralty candidates present would
state their views on the social evil,
much interest was aroused. Messrs.
Maguire, Albee and Lombard expressed
their views ns follows:
Maguire "I favor a restricted dis
trict, if there are to be two of them
one for the women and another for the
men who patronize them; I will do all
I can to help solve this great problem."
Albee "I am not a believer in the
restricted district; I shall use all the
power at my command to help amelior
ate the conditions that create social
outcasts."
Lombard "As a matter of fact, the
state law prohibits a restricted dis
trict, but I do not favor such a district,
anyway: I will, if elected Mayor, use
the police force to round up the men
who live from the earnings of fallen
women and put them on the rockpile;
I will devote much time to this sub
ject." "I understand our present Mayor fa
vors the purchase of Ross Island, so he
can put the fallen women there and
make them do the city laundering.
spoke up a woman, addressing the pre
siding officer." "Why not have two
laundries over there and make the fall
en women do half of the laundering,
while their patrons, who brought them
to such a life, are forced to do the other
halfr
This brought forth great applause.
All of the candidates were liberally
applauded. Dr. L. Victoria Hampton
and Mrs. Rosalie Goulding, candidates
for the City Council, were Introduced
and were cheered.

ter and City Paving Plant.

Ward. E. Versteeg.
C. L. McKenna, Democratic candidate
for Mayor, declared that he favored
the commission form of government
and would vote for the proposed char
ter. He said it was not perfect, but
should be enacted into a law as a step
ping stone.
"I favor a municipal paving plant.
continued the speaker. "Other cities
have them and they have been the
means of the municipalities saving a
great deal of money. Spokane has one,
and, while it is not used much, it is a
club over the head of the paving trust.
The speaker also declared for a pub
lic market. ' He said probably it would
be necessary to provide one on the
West Side, one. on the East Side and J
one in tne Aimna district.
'If I am elected and there are Insti
tutions here not living up to the law,
they will be looked after at once," said
Mr. McKenna. "I intend to give a busi
ness administration."

R. E. Menefee. Councilman from the
Ninth Ward, last night denied a

terests and that they are backing him
in his campaign for re-election. "I
have Just finished two bitter fights
against the placing of saloons in the
Ninth Ward In residence districts," said
Mr. Menefee, "and it is a fact that the
liquor people are fighting me for this
and other reasons. My policy in the
Council has been against them many
times and they are fighting me, instead
of helping me."

Alleged Interview
al82Sk Hn 60 collect NPR
Spokane, Wn., May 2, 1913
Purported interview purposely garbled and misrepre-
sented for eleventh-hour roorback. No "weak spots" in
Portland charter that are not discounted a hundred
times by general provisions of commission government.
Tell Citizens of Portland not to be side-tracked by tech
nical objections in charter. Experience will easily cor
rect these. Vote for real question, which is commis
sion form of government.
