The completed count shows that the commission charter has car ried by 276, instead of 222. Mayor Rushlight, with 12.227 votes, has a ma jority of 370 over the combined votes of Lombard and Magulre. Hia plurality over Lombard is 3048. Barbur received nearly three votes to Clarke's one for the Republican nomin ation for Auditor. Lombard ran much better on the West Side than he did on the East Side, and the commission charter ran better on the East Side than It did on the other side of the river. Third Ward Coateat Close. Frank S. Grant, who waa unopposed for the Republican nomination for City Attorney, received 31.657 votes, or 782 votes less than William Adams, who had no opposition for the Republican nomination for Treasurer. One of the closest contests was that for the Republican nomination for Councilman from ' the Third Ward, where George Dunning received 16 votes more than E- C- Hears. The Republican nomination for Coun cilman in the Tenth Ward brought out the largest number of candidates, eight being entered. Clinton A. Ambrose was nominated, with a vote of 1715. His nearest opponent. I D. Mabone, re ceived 605. Wamaa Wlaa for CoaadL One of the most interesting contests waa that for the Republican nomination for Councllmen-at-Large. Ralph C Clyde, with 12,976. and I Victoria Hampton, with 7409, are the two nom inees. Mrs. Hampton defeated Charles N". Ryan by 228 votes. The only contest on the Progressive ticket was over the nomination for Mayor. H. R. Albee received more than twice as many votes as Dan Kellaher, and defeated Kellaher In his own pre cinct two to one. Albee's vote was 1110; Kellahefs 642.

Radical changes, in the election sys tem In Portland to bring about more satisfactory conditions and more speedy, accurate and economical han dling of the polls, are to be urged by City Auditor Barbur as a result of his experiences in managing the special and primary elections of Saturday. He announced yesterday that he would promote a campaign to have the con ditions so changed that confusion would be eliminated, judges and clerks would be Instructed In their duties and the whole election work at the polling places would be handled systematical ly. His plan will require action by the State Legislature, The principal change recommended Is the appointment by the city and county of an inspector for each pre cinct, to serve for a term of years. He would be required to laminarjze himself with the election jaws a.nu i" details of handling voters and votes at the polls by Judges and clerks. On election day the inspector, according to Mr. Barbur's plan, would be re quired to be at the polling place early and see that the polls are opened on time and that every feature of the work Is properly handled by the Judges and clerks. He would also anena w securing luncheas for me ficiala. Economy I Urged. This officer also would be thorough ly versed in the election laws and the rules governing voters and would act as adviser in all questions arising. When the polls close at night he would attend to the work of getting the night board Into working shape and super vise the counting. It would be his duty to see that all supplies are at the poll ing places and that there is no mis conduct. . Mr. Barbur declares that such an of ficial would greatly improve conditions and would be able to save more In each precinct than the amount of his salary. "By keeping the counting boards at work," said Mr. Barbur yesterday, "he could save a great deal of money. For example, If a board la not thoroughly honest it can proceed with the count slowly and prolong the time for which the board members are paid.

"The county and the city could Join In selecting the Inspectors and keep them on the regular list for each elec tion. This would do away with the trouble of Judges and clerks who open the polls without knowing how to pro ceed. At Saturday's election we adver tised instructions in all the papers and sent out hundreds of letters, yet many of the Judges and clerks were in the dark when It came to doing their work. With an Inspector on the Job all this confusion would be eliminated." Storage Place to B Aaked. Mr Barbur also will recommend tht establishment of a municipal ware house for ballot boxes and election supplies. At present these are stored wherever space can be secured. Some are placed in the basement of the City Halt others In the County Courthouse and others In the city barns. The han. dling of the boxes In these places dam ages them and runs up unnecessary ex pense, says Mr. Barbur. He would have a warehouse so built that election wagons could drive into the building and be loaded without the necessity of boxes being tossed about from place to place in getting them to the wagons. Need for changes In the election sys tem is said by Mr. Barbur to be greater for the elections hereafter than at elec tions heretofore, owing to the fact that the number of precincts is to be Increased.

At th ldBt election 3600 letters wre sent out to various persons asking them to serve on the election boards. Out of this number only 600 responded. This made It necessary for a call for vninntAAT-a which broueht out many persons who were undesirable but who had to be selected for lacs, or Deixer material. With a precinct inspector, it cured more readily. If the required number failed to respond he could go tnxougn tno precinct ana. prwvjuo wm petent persons to serve. Mr. Barbur declares that with the number of precincts doubled it will be almost impossible to handle an election under the present system. He will start his campaign at once and hopes to be able to bring enough pressure to bear on the Legislature to get a satis factory change In the law. CANDIDATES RUSH IS ON (Continued From First Page.) was rumored yesterday that there would be. The Taxpayers' Association, of which E. p. Sheldon is president, will not at tack the charter on any' constitutional grounds, although it was declared be fore election that the document was unconstitutional and open to such an attack; so far as known no organized effort exists to question its legality. Sections Will Be Fought. The Taxpayers Association, however, will continue to fight certain sections of the charter, especially those relating to the power of the Mayor, civil service and the department work of the com missioners. Owing to the ease with which candi dates for the various offices may file for the nominations, it is certain that a large number will try for the posi tions. As Portland is one of the largest cities in America to adopt the commis sion plan. National attention is cen tered upen the results that are to be achieved; every move is being watched by other cities which have this form and also those that are considering it. All the candidates for Mayor nomi nated under the direct primary of Sat urday will file for the position of May or under the commission charter. This was positively announced by each yes terday. They are A. G. Rushlight. Re publican, incumbent; H. R. Albee, Pro gressive, and C. I McKenna, Democrat Dan Kellaher, who was defeated by Mr. Albee for the Progressive nomination, filed Saturday night, before he knew whether he was defeated or not. There fore there will be at least four candi dates for Mayor. Announcements Are Made. Statements of the various Mayoralty candidates yesterday were as follows: Mr. Rushlight I shall file my cer tificates for nomination as soon as I can tomorrow. I deeply appreciate the tine vote given me in the primaries and am heartily pleased at the success of the commission charter. Mr. Albee I feel that it is my duty to continue as a candidate for Mayor and shall file my certificates soon. 1 trunk i would be unfaithful to the Progressives who suDDorted me Saturday were I to decline Ho run. I believe that, under the new charter. Portland can have ex cellent arovernment and. If elected, shall do my utmost to see that the people get good results. Mr. McKenna Having received the nomination of my party by a good vote, I shall file for Mayor under the new charter. I probably will file Monday, but at any rate will file soon. A. L. Barbur. Incumbent, Is the nrst and only one thus far to file for City Auditor. While it is probable there will be other candidates for this posi tion, which Is scheduled to pay "not less than $3600" a year, no names as yet have been made public. Women Will Enter Race. Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden, Progressive nominee, and Dr. L. Victoria. Hampton, Republican nominee for the Councn- at-large, have the distinction of being the first women candidates to make positive announcement that they will be candidates for commlssionerships. There was a persistent rumor yester day that a movement will be set on foot by business men oi me cty to organize for the purpose of selecting a ticket to be presented as a suitable one for the favor of the electorate, but its source could oot be traced. The near est approach to this occurred when the congregation of the Central Christian Church. East Twentieth and East Sal mon streets, ordered the calling of a massmeetlng of all voters, looking toward the nomination of a suitable ticket. Many urominent business men of the city have been discussed by their friends for the positions of Mayor and Commissioner, but no definite action has been taken to get them out. Among these was John H. Burgard, formerly Councilman-at-Large and at present a member of the Municipal Dock Com mission. When asked if he would be come a candidate, he said: "I will not be a candidate. Owing to the volume of my private business, it will be Impossible for me to devote the necessary time to public work that would be required of me under the terms of the new charter and therefore I, cannot become a candidate. Rotation System Abolished. It is apparent already that, because of the fact that the rotation system is abolished by the adoption of the new charter, it is going to be difficult, to center the efforts of any organization on special candidates, and that those who filed first and are therefore at the head of the ticket are going to have a great advantage over those ruing late. The preferential balloting system. too, is proving a puzzler. It carried with the adoption or the charter, un der its provisions each voter has one first, one second ana one tnira-cnoice vote for each office to be filled on the ticket. It is said that experience with preferential systems has proved that but comparatively few of the voters cast more than one vote ror each can didate, although some cast a second- choice and a few even cast a third choice vote. It has been pointed out that any few candidates, who could get their friends to center upon them and refuse to vote any but first-choice, probably would be elected, as the other votes. If divided by second or third- choice votes would be so divided among the other candidates as to insure the success of such a compact even by a minority choice. Time for Filing Allowed. Under the particular preferential sya-n tern contained in the. Portland charter, any candidate receiving a majority of the first-choice votes is, of course, elected; If no candidate gets a majority of the first-choice votes, second-choice votes are added to first-choice votes. If then, any candidate receives a ma lority. he Is elected. If not, the thlrd- - . I .1 3 1 I M .1 choice votes are auaeu. nu, n. iueu there is no majority, the highest can didates are declared elected. The sys tem Is designed to produce majority choice. t ... Under the new charter candidates have until 20 days before the election In which to file their nominating cer tificates 100 of these being necessary to nominate. The time expires May 13. at 6 P M. It is variously estimated that there will be from BO to 200 candi- WESTERM UNION I TELEGRAM THEO. N. WAlL, PRESIDENT 4fL at THE WESTERN UNION dates for the office of Mayor, the four commlssionerships and the Auditor. The salary of the Mayor is fixed at $6000 a year, the Commissioners at $5000 each and the Auditor at not less than $3600. All Nominations Annulled. Under the commission plan all of the nominations of last Saturday, effected through the present system, are null and void. Thus, while winning the coveted goal in the primaries, they lose all they gained, save for the moral ef fect of their nomination. Mny are of the opinion that the fact that a candi date for Municipal Judge, for instance. by a large vote. Is entitled to serious consideration at the hands of the Mayor and Commissioners for that po sition when a Municipal Judge is to be selected by the Commission as a whole. The same holds true with the City Treasurer and City Attorney, both of whom are to be appointed by the Commission as a whole. City Treasurer Adams, now serving his first term and who was nominated in the Republican primaries Saturday, sald yesterday that he probably would not 'become a can didate for Commissioner, but that he would seek the position of Treasurer at the hands of the Commission, t-ity Attorney Grant probably will take a similar course. One position is created by the adop tion of the new charter, that of pur chasing agent. This and the position of City Engineer are to be filled by the Commission as a whole. W. B. Ayer Not Aspirant. The subordinate officers of each of the five departments, created In the charter are to be appointed by the Commissioner of the department, ex cept where civil service prevails. Among these appointments will be that of Chief of Police and Health Officer. W. B. Ayer, one of the charter framers and one of the most prominent business men In Portland, made the following statement last night when asked as to whether or not he would be a candidate for any office under its provisions. "I served on the charter commission because I thought I could do a public service. I knew we needed a new form of charter one that would give the people better results than the old one. I had no selfish motive what ever and shall not be a candidate for any office under the commission plan." All of the candidates who filed Sat urday night declare their confidence that they will occupy the top places on the ticket, although there Is some doubt yet as to priority, which may have to be decided by the courts. Ralph C Clyde and J. H. Nolta, the former the first to file and the latter the second, declare that they are "standing pat" and will file no new certificates for nomination, as they feel certain their contention Is correct and that their names will appear first and second on the ballot. L FEDERAL- VETERANS LIKELY TO PARADE IN AUTOS. Decoration of Soldiers' Graves and Exercises at Armory Planned by Portland Posts. Decoration of soldiers' graves in the Portland cemeteries, an automobile pa rade on both sides of the river and memorial exercises in the Armory are the tentative plans of the Grand Army of the Republic posts for Memorial day this year. A committee of 15, repre senting all the posts and Women's Re lief Corps, has been appointed to ar range a programme. T. B. McDevitt is chairman; J. W. Oglebee, secretary, and J. a Hamilton, treasurer. The decoration of the graves and the exercises in the Armory are to take the place of separate afternoon pro grammes formerly held on both sides of the river. If the parade is held the veterans and their families will ride in automobiles and pass through the West Side streets across the Broadway bridge and then along Grand avenue, returning to the West Side over the Morrison bridge to the Armory. Secretary J. W. Oglebee, of the com mittee, said yesterday that already a number have offered the free use of their automobiles, and he is quite sure enough will be offered to accommodate all of the old soldiers. This feature has been suggested as a departure from the custom of former years, and the old soldiers seem greatly pleased. The general committee will hold a meeting Saturday afternoon at the Courthouse, when final arrangements will be com pleted. . . . Reuben Smith Post, Grand Army of the Republic, and Blackmar Circle, of the Ladies Relief Corps, will hold their usual exercises in Milwaukie Cemetery In the afternoon, and a general pro gramme will be rendered at the hall.
