CARD PARTY IS PLANNED Miss Alma Lauritzen, Mis9 Henrlette Rothschild' and Miss Irene Flynn to Be . Guests at Society Bridge Affair. UCH a flock of candidates as gath- red about the table In the Hotel Clifford yesterday at noon, when the East Side Business Men's Club met In weekly session, was never seen before In Portland. There were about 50 of them, aspirants for Mayor, Auditor and Commissioner. All of them were given two minutes in which to speak. Some witty things were said. One candidate declared that. If it were possible for him to persuade the others present that they should support him, he would be certain of election there were so many it them. . Bets have been made in the police department upon the probable showing of Charles F. Frey. a member of the department, who is a candidate for Commissioner. One bet was recorded this week, in solemn good faith, that Freys total vote will not exceed 100. Two members of the force posted 25 cents upon this wager. "Guess you'll have to get a new gag now." said W. T. Vaughn, a can didate for Commissioner and ex-Coun-cllraan from the Tenth Ward, to a newspaper man who for some months has bantered the candidate each time he met him. The basis of the banter was the frequent changes made by the Tenth Ward In its representation in the Council, Ellis succeeding Vaughn and Magulre Ellis In quick succession. "Who's Councilman from the Tenth Ward, Mr. Vaughn?" the newspaper man used to sk. "I can't say," was Vaughn's stereo typed answer; "I haven't seen the morn ing paper yet." e Appreciation of the fact that police men. Individually and collectively, are a power In politics, is always shown more or less, around campaign time, but never more than In the present fight Since the ballot was made up the number of open-handed gentlemen who have made it in their way to drop around at relieving time and renew their acquaintance with "the boys" has been quite considerable. They all get a courteous hearing, for. In the uncer tainty of modern elections, the "copper does not know which one of the many may be his next boss.
