With the completion of the count of
Saturday' municipal primary election,
the results are not materially altered
from those published In The Oregonlan
of Sunday. 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. The Progressives
cast but 56 per cent of their registered
vote.
The following figures will be but lit

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. When a
board counts for an hour over a day

the members are paid for a whole day
for that one hour's work, under the
present system.
"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 present there are 164

Under the revision it will be approxi
mately 612,600. . mere wm on
4200 judges and clerks.
Few Accept Service.
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-

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.

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.
