in City Council at Time.

In Speech at Portsmouth School
Mayoralty Aspirant Upsets 'Dope
of 'Mud SUngers' and Shows
Enemies Are Falsifying.
"Do you believe it is wrong to pay
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company 120.000 for light which it
did not furnish to the city?" asked a
man in the Portsmouth school of H.
R ' Albee. candidate for Mayor, last
night.
"I certainly do," replied Mr. Albee.
"Then why did you vote to pay it?"
the man demanded.
"I did not know that I did." was the
answer.
"I understand the records show that
you did," insisted the man.
"I am not in the City Council at
all," said Mr. Albee.
"I know it." retorted the man, "but
you were, I understand, when that bill
was paid."
Question Is Put night.
"I see," said Mr. Albee, with a broad
smile, "that you have been, like many
others, misinformed. I do not know
where you got your information, but,
as a matter of fact, I have not been
in the City Council for eight years
now. That bill you mention was paid
less than four years ago."
A large concourse had turned out
to hear Mr. Albee and much Interest
was manifested by his auditors.
Mr. Albee said that he was very
glad that the question had been put.
as, ha said, in this way only could he
refute the falsehood, being spread
broadcast about him.
I was even published as being a
member of the "solid ten' in theCity
Council," said Mr. Albee. "As a mat
ter of fact, I was not in the City Coun
cil at that time, either; that was un
der the regime of Dr. Lane. I was a
member of the Council during the Wil
liams administration."
After waiting a moment for further
questions, Mr. Albee smiled and con
tinued: :
Tales Amuse Candidate.
It Is amusing to me the questions
that I am asked. Inasmuch as it brings
out the absurd tales that my political
enemies are spreading about the city
to fool the people. Nearly every day
they manufacture a new story to be
fuddle the people. First it is one
thing and then another. I have many
a hearty laugh over it. i lane pleas
ure In telling my crowds how absurd
the tales are.
T just heard today that. If I am
elected, I am going to close up
the. Sunday baseball games. That 13
being told around In places where thpy
think it will hurt me with those who
go to these games or who favor the
games. You can easily see how absurd
this Is from the fact that I could not
close the Sunday baseball games, even
were I so Inclined. The state law gives
the baseball people the right to play,
and no man as Mayor could close them,
for ho would not have the authority.
Hence, you see how far that goes.
"In certain churches they are saying
that I am opposed to another churcli
and vice versa; they are having lots
of fun. It Just depends upon where
my political enemies go as to what
they tell. Some places they say I am
a Prohibitionist; in others I am some
thing else. Yes, it is very amusing.
Mud Throwing: Harred.
"Well, I shall pay little heed to these
tales, except to tell the public rrum
time to time that I going to be a
Mayor for the whole people, if elected
not for any class or clique; I am
not going to be lop-sided in my ad
ministration of the affairs of the office.
I will, if you elect me. administer the
office for all of the people, rich and
poor, high and lov, men. women and
children. That Is n y view of the Job.
You will hear all manner of things
about me this week," the close of the
campaign. I am throwing no mud. but
the others are throwing some. Very
well, let them go ahead. I am going
to finish without any regrets, win or
lose. I do not feel it incumbent upon
me to tell a lot of filngs about tba
present administration. I shall leavo
It to the good judgment of the people
as to whether they are satisfied or
not; a: to whether they think that
conditions are such as to justify a con-
tlpuation of the present administra
tion. I am not here to tell you tht 1

We have tha new charter now. and
