PRESENT SYSTEM
BLAMED BY MAYOR
Too Much Paid for Supplies
Because He Has Not Time
to Check Purchases.
CAMPAIGN STRAIN TELLING
Mr. Rushlight Compelled to Cut
Mwrt His Meeting In Upper AI
bin Amusing Incident Is
Feature of the Evening.
Favment of excessive prlcei for city
supplies Is attributed by Mayor Rusb
Imht to the present city charter and
government, and not to any careless
ness on the part of the chief "c"l1"
At a meeting last night at Malrt Hall.
In Upper A) bins, the Mayor declared
that he knows the city has paid more
for supplies than It should have, but
ha says there Is no practical way of
stopping It under the present charter.
-1 save been criticised because the
lty has paid exceselve prices for sup
plies In the various departments. I
admit that the city has paid more than
it should for some thins, but It has
been no fault of mine. There are so
many departments In the city Jf""
ment and so many different things to
be purchased that It is impossible for
'the Mayor to check up on the tranac-
" To rive you an idea of what a Mayor
has to do I will recite my programme
of today. I s-ot down this morning at
:30 o clock and went into the Council
session. I remained there until J:30.
I then went out to lunch. Upon com In
back I had to sign more than U.ooo.ooo
in bonds, which Is a hard task. Every
day Is occupied by Just such tasks as
these. It would be a physical impossi
bility for me to examine all the requi
sitions which come to my office for my
signature.
Better Syetesa Irssleed.
-Conditions will be changed under
the commission form of government.
One man will have charge of one entire
department and will have charge oT
the making of purchases and Ignln
requisitions. That will take that work
from the shoulders of the Mayor.
The Mayor was not filing well last
night, and. accordingly, cut his politi
cal speech short and went borne, xne
strain of the last few days, during
which he has been campaigning almost
continuously, has been almost more
than he can stand. He went home be
fore the meeting was over.
An amusing Incident took place as he
was leaving the hall. An elderly man
who had listened to his speech arose
and asked If he might ask a question.
James Kertchem. who accompanies the
Mayor to the various meetings and
serves as presiding officer and apeech
maker during dull moments, tried to
shut the question off. expecting that a
fuss was In store. , .
The Mayor brushed Kertchem aside
and told the old roan that he would
answer the question.
-Will you solemnly swear. - began
the old man. "that during your admin
istration you have represented the
masses and not the few?"
"I will." answered the Mayor, rather
perplexed at the question, and a trifle
dubious about what the old man had
In store. "Then." began the old man
aa-aln. "then" Kertchem. fearing some
thing was brewing. Jumped up and
tried to head off the next question.
Reply Rell-vea Aaalety.
"Let him talk." shouted half a dozen
people. Including the Mayor.
"Then." said the old man, "I guess I
can vote for you."
The programme of the affair was
rounded off with a speech by ex-Lnlted
Htates Senator F"ultoa. alio indorsed
the Mayor. "He made a lot of promises
to us two years ago." he said, "and he
has kept tiiem all. He promised to re
duce taxes, and he fulfilled his promise.
. He promised a commission charter and

Rushlight Executive Board, wound up

Political Notes
Robert G. Dleck. candidate for Com
missioner, spoke last, night at the Lin
coln Methodist Church and at the Sun
nyslde School. Mr. Pleck is a forcible
speaker. He realties that the average
audience these busy days doesn't want
a quantity of talk, but quality and
expression. He never speaks more than
li minutes at a time. Besides this, he
is conducting a personal canvass, and
Is coming Into contact with the men
and women voters generally.
I . .
I Victoria Hampton. In her address
before the Kenllworth Welfare League
last night, spoke of the work she has
done during the past 12 years for civic
betterment and protection of the
homes, calling; attention to voluntary
chemical work In analyzing the Wil
lamette River water, which was sup
plied to Portland when the Bull Run
water pipe broke and the city was
threatened with typhoid fever, to the
ordinance drafted by her requiring the
addition of lampblack to all cement
sidewalks to protect the eyes from the
Injurious effects of reflected white
light: to her fight which prevented the
emptying of sewage into the Columbia
Slough, which would have menaced
the health of the entire city: and
pledged herself, if elected, to continue
her fearless fight for enforcement of
law and Justice to all.
e
Principally because of the part he
played In donating to the city a large
strip of land for the new Terwilliger
boulevard In the southern end of the
city, the f'outh Portland Boosters' Club
has Indorsed Frank J. Richardson as
a candidate for Commissioner.

PRAISE IS GIVEN AL6EE
BUSINESS DEALINGS HIDED
BY MR. GOLDMAN.
Competitor Declare That in 18
Years of Active Acquaintance
Broad Caliber Is Shown.
Indorsement of the 'most emphatic
kind has come to II. R. Albee, candi
date for Mayor, from one of his com
petitors in the life Insurance business,
and for the reason that it comes from
a competitor such Indorsement Is
carrying with it a peculiar weight and
Influence.
Mr. Albee is general manager in Ore
gon for the Northwestern Mutual Life
Insurance Company, and has no more
active competition in his business than
that presented by William Goldman,
manager for the Manhattan Life In
surance Company, yet Mr. Goldman is
doing his utmost to secure Mr. Albee's
election.
"I have met Mr. Albee in competition
for many years," said Mr. Goldman
yesterday?" "and I know of no fairer
or squarer man In any line of business.
He is absolutely honest and honorable
In all his dealings, including those
with his competitors. I have known
Mr. Albee for IS years and in all that
time have worked in competition
against him. so I think that if there
were anything mean or unfair or small
about him I would have found it out in
that time.
"In all my experience with Mr.
Albee I don't know of a single case
in which his methods were not on the
square. I have lost some pretty nice
business ' to htm. and on the other
band I have been successful In winning
some business that he was trying to
get. but In either case whether win
or lose I could always take him by
the hand and know that he was with
out ill feeling toward me. In ail of
our competition, in the cases that he
has lost, ha has been a good toser,
and that In the long run Is a pretty
sure test of a man's caliber.
"If he Is elected Mayor next Monday,
and I have no doubt that he will be.
the Insurance field will lose one of
its most valuable workers, and the
profession one of its most praiseworthy
members. Although he has been a
formidable competitor to all of us
there Isn't a life Insurance man In
Portland who doesn't regret the prob
ability of Mr. Albee leaving the field,
as a man of his character and ability
always elevates the standard of the
profession.
"I believe nearly every Insurance
man In Portland will support him. I
was talking to one today. He had
been undecided between voting tor Mr.
Albee or one of the other candidates
for Mayor, but he has made up his
mind to support Mr. Albee. and Is
working for him.
-When Mr. Albee goes into office
next month he will give it the same
detailed attention that he has given
his own business, and I bespeak for
him the same success. He Is not a
radical man. but broad-minded, care
ful, conscientious and conservative. I
know of no man on the face of the
earth and that is a pretty big ter
ritory who has a higher moral stan
ard. and he will give the office of
Mayor the same dignity that he has
given his own life and his own business."

Charges of Resenting Raid on
Resorts and Plot Against
Official Are Made.
RAILROAD ATTITUDE IS. HIT
Rushlight Declared Guilty of Re
tarding Growth of City by Ac
tion on Harrlman Franchise.
. . Other Candidates Speak.
"If I am elected Mayor I won't try
to have one of my associates in office
indicted by the grand jury because he
makes a raid on sumo wicked resorts
in the North End like Mayor Rushlight
did with John B. Coffey, the present
county clerk, when he was a member
of the Mayor's executive board," de
clared Dan Kellaher, mayoralty candi
date, before a larsre crowd In a hall
at East Seventeenth and East Alberta
streets last night.
"If I am elected Mayor," he continued,
"I won't lay a vile plot to assassinate
the character and reputation of an ex
cellent young man like Mayor Rush
light did with Frank Collier, who was
deputy district attorney. You remem
ber how Rushlight and his crew
marked $400 in paper money and tried
to catch Collier In accepting A bribe.
But Collier was too honest for them."
Kellaher provided the principal
verbal shots in a whole battery of ora
tory last night Besides him there were
10 commlsslonershtp candidates and an
aspirant for the audltorshlp on the
programme. Taking flings at the com
mute of 100 proved to be a favorite
pastime of a!! the speakers, including
those that had been indorsed by the
organization as well as those who were
not included among the "select 12." -Kellaher
Scores Committee.
"I know who was responsible for It,"
exlcaimed Kellaher In referring to that
committee. "It fizzled and 'blew up as
It was Intended it should. Who ap
pointed the committee that framed that
committee of 100? I can tell you. It
was John Burgard. one of Rushlight's
principal lieutenants, John S. Beal, the
head of the bituiithlc paving trust, and
a few others. They named a commit
tee of 15, which In turn selected the
100. and about 70 of those boys who
were put there by Rushlight. They
blew around and fussed around and
didn't do anything."
Marshall X. Danu. one of the commls
slonershtp candidates indorsed by the
committee, openly advised his hearers
not to be guided by the committee's re
ports alone but to study the candidates
for themselves. The people, he said,
have enough judgment of their own to
make their selection wisely without
this committee's advice. He also urged
strongly that the people vote their full
12 choices for Commissioners and de
nounced the "Infamous practice" of
"single shotting."
Kellaher attacked the Rushlight ad
ministration from many angles. He
laid particular emphasis on Rushlight's
actions toward the billboard legisla
tion, pointing out the fact that the
people, two years ago, passed an Ini
tiative measure designed to regulate
the billboards.
Mayor la Aeeaned.
"But what did you find?" he asked.
"The Mayor turned his back on the law
the people had passed and left the city
while the Council repealed IV That's
why you find his political advertise
ments and those of Geo.rge Baker on
all the billboards. I have been told
that they don't need to pay for them.
Why should they pay? Aren't the bill
board people under obligations to
them?"
He again reviewed the Mayor's at
titude toward the Harrlman interests
on the East Side, and of the veto which
Rushlight attached to the measure In
tended to revoke the Harrlman fran
chises making it necessary for Kella
her and his friends to have those meas
ures placed on the ballot by petition.
declaring that that veto prevented the
Hill roads and other lines from secur
ing an equal footing on the East Side
streets, thereby retarding the growth
of Portland.
The minute he undertook to pall
the possibility of the growth of Port
land," Kellaher asserted. "I was forced
to leave his company regardless of how
close a friend of him I was.
Then he returned to the report of
the vlce commission and showed the
map marking the location of various
vice centers In the city.
"But what has Rushlight ever done
to correct the evils shown by this re
port?" he asked. "Nothing. There Is
no use in appointing a commission If
we are not going to remedy conditions
by it. It was Just another Rushlight
false alarm. It merely was to kiss off
the proposition that he ought to have
taken by the neck and handled him
self." Gas Franchise Attacked.
He devoted considerable attention to
the Portland Gas & Coke Company's
franchise, which he has been seeking
to revoke, and promised to continue his
efforts in that direction whether elect
ed Mayor or not.
Rushlight's record on water meters
came In for further attack. The peo
pie passed an ordinance authorizing the
ALBEE MASS MEETING TO

Mayor, will address the voters

asked. "No. I guess not
"And then there's Ross Island, as

wanted to buy .for $300,000. If he could
have turned that trick somebody would
have made a nice piece of money. 1
wasn't In on the game.
"Is there any truth In the report that
Rushlight wanted you to withdraw
from the race for Mayor?" asked James
Maguire. a member of the City Coun
cil and candidate for Commissioner.
"No," came back the reply. "I am no
quitter. They can't get me to with
draw." "What do you know about Captain
Keller?" asked someone else.
"I don't know anything about how
Captain Keller got his position except
ing that Rushlight made a monkey of
the Civil Service Board to appoint him.
Rushlight doesn't wagt a civil service.
He wants to build up a machine so he
can be elected Governor."
Record of Committee Asked.
Others in the audience asked him
to give the records of the Committee of

One Hundred, but Kellaher said he
didn't give the organization much
thought.
"It is a blackmailing scheme," he as
serted with emphasis. "They asked me
for my record, the color of my eyes,
whether I had hair on my head when
I was born and a . lot of truck like
that, but I threw the letter In the
waste basket My record is an open
book. I don't need to have it investi
gated." Besides Kellaher and Dana, the
speakers included L. M. Lepper, Henry

ing the political arena and in bringing
about reforms along clean lines. If
we all work together, we can make of
Portland a good and clean city. It is
not exactly that .now, although it has
been said by one candidate tnat bunaay
school conditions prevalL (Applause).
"I want to tell you about my views
on some of the problems of the day.
I have in mind now the paving situa
tlon. We are supposed to have some
competition in this line, but there are
indications I say there are indications
that there is collusion. When bids
are sought, many times, but one of two
firms will bid.
Paving- Cost Held High.
"We certainly are paying too much
for this class of work. And that brings
m to sav that unless the new com
mission will be able to compel a lower
ing of rates, with the basis of first-
class work and first-class materials, I
shall favor the Immediate Installment
of a public paving plant The people
have been paying exorbitant prices for
pavement all over the city, and It Is
time something was aone iu

"While on this suDjeet or. puouc
itHimoa I will tell you how I feel about
all of these concerns. I feel Just this

the 'If,' we cannot get fair treatment
from the companies now operating
here, then, and not until then, do I fa
vor taking over these utilities. If we
cannot get a fair deal, and we never
have as yet then I shall stand ready to
take over whatever or the utilities we
can handle without Impairing our
credit as a city.
Large Payroll Not Favored.
"I would not like to add to the mu
nicipal payroll a lot of extra employes
unless It were found to be absolutely
necessary for the public benefit, but I
would not hesitate to do so If it were
found to be necessary. That Includes
all of the public utilities, such as the
gas, electric lighting, telepnones, etc.
"I certainly know one thing the
public service companies do not need
the Mayor or the Commissioners to
look out for their affairs. They employ
high-salaried men for that purpose.
Therefore. If I am elected, I shall make
It my business to look out for the city's
side of the case. I will devote my tal
ents to the people's end of the business,
for I know from experience that the
others can and will look out for their
own Interests we need not worry
about that.
"The liquor question is always an
Issue; people are, of course, deeply In
terested In that problem. I have been
accused of being a Prohibitionist and it
has been said that If elected. I will
close all of the saloons with one fell
swoop, or something like that But of
course, this is untrue. The Federal,
state and city governments license the
liquor business and I could not if I
would, and no Mayor or Commissioner
could, if he would, close up all of the
saloons. What I will do, if elected, is
to enforce the laws regulating the
business, with the same impartiality
and fairness, but just as strictly, as I
would enforce the laws relating to any
lines of business, like grocery stores.
That ought to be plain enough.
Positions Not Promised.
"I have been offered hundreds of
votes by certain men If I would Indl
cate "what my position would be on
certain things; If I would Indicate
something about appointments ot
subordinates, but In each case I have
said to all of them that I had not even
given the subject of appointments any
thought, and that I would make no
promises, neither would I Indicate my
attitude In that respect, for it will be
ample time for that if I am elected.
On the Issues of the campaign, as af
fecting the whole people, I am making
known my policies in the open arfJ 1
am not making, have not made nor
will I make any other promise than
that if elected, I will work for the
betterment of the city's welfare to the
very best of my ability. I think that
Is fair to the voters and to myself. I
could promise anything and everything,
but should I fail to fulfill my prom
ises I would be a promise-breaker.'
That to me is a bad thing, and I do
not intend to do it.
Mr. Albee paid a tribute to the police
torce and to civil service, saying:
"One of the candidates for Mayor
has said that 80 per cent of the mem
bers of the police force are grafters.
I do not believe that statement. I
think it is safer to say that 80 per
cent of the men are honest if not a
larger per cent What is needed in the
police department is fair play witn
elimination of the game of playing fa
vorites and a square deal for the men
and I think you will find that the re
sults will astonish all ot us. We will
eet work that we have never gotten
with political administration in full
swing.
VI am a firm believer In civil serv
Ice and if I am elected I certainly will
administer that branch of the service
In good faith and will not play fa
vorites. "Another department that is not
heard of quite so much as some Is the
department for the safety of young
women. That is a branch of the city
government which is officered by wo
men and is doing an excellent work. It
should be increased, for if there Is one
thing above another that we need, it
Is something that will save our girls
from the pitfalls of modern-day life."
E. D. Curtis, principal of the Sunny
side School, presided at the meeting.

CIRCUIT COURT OF OREGON,
Fourth Judicial District
PORTLAND, May 16, 1913.
Hon. Wm. C. Benbow,
City.
My Dear Sir: I am greatly, pleased
that you have become a candidate for
the office of Commissioner. The ex
perience and knowledge you have ac
quired from your wide investigation of
municipal questions will be of In
estimable value to the city in the posi
tion to which you aspire. I appointed
you Assistant City Attorney to investi
gate and determine questions of great
magnitude, and of the first importance
to the city and the public, and I know
better than any one else how faith
fully you labored, and how efficiently
you performed the service. Many of
these questions, like the Fourth-street
franchise, the public levee and the
usurpation of public property by pri
vate Interests, are now settled and
the property reclaimed through the
processes you set In operation. Re
signing from that position, you became
the attorney tor the Dock Commission,
and you have disposed of the many
vexed questions that arose in that de
partment In addition to the experi
ence thus acquired your service on two
charter commissions, with the study
and research you have given the sub
ject, has brought you Into close touch
with charters in the making. The
Benbow charter, which you drafted,
was the best commission plan of
municipal government ever put forth In
this--community. and I regret that it
was not submitted to the electors and
adopted.
If there ever was a time when
capacity Is demanded, it Is now, when a
new system is put in operation. Ques
tions innumerable will arise, questions
that must be disposed of at once,
which may involve the city in great
disasters. There should be one man on
the commission who knows the char
ter and the legal effect and the scope
of its provisions. In this, as in busi
ness, questions wait upon the man who
knows, and among the candidates you
are the man who knows.
Very sincerely,
J. P. KAVANAUGH.

or so. perhaps more, candidates who
would like to tell a large crowd how
they stand.
"We will try to give every candidate
a fair hearing and for myself I am
quite willing to vote on the showing
they may make."
Candidates will be introduced imme
diately following the first part of the
programme at the Oaks. To avoid show.
Ing any favors, Mr. Cordray says he
will simply announce:
"Ladles and gentlemen: Mr. John
Doe. who is a candidate for Commis
sioner" (or whatever the office may
be).
"Candidates who have been hinting
at skeletons in their opponents' closets
can come right out in meeting and tell
what they know about the other fel
low," said the park manager.
"Candidates who are convinced tnat
their record is superior, who want to
defend their records or to abuse an
other candidate's record may now go
to it.

the best man!"

C. L. McKenna Ballot No. 15
MR. CITIZEN You voted for the Commission Charter to get the
city government out of politics.
You have taken the first step; you have the charter.
Do you intend now to lose the fruits of your victory by placing
a politician in charge at a salary of $6000, with an emergency fund
of $5000, a year?
It will be a pretty fat thing for your politician, won't it?
The emergency fund will help build a nice, smooth machine, and
the taxpayers will foot the bill, as usual.
Think it over.
There is only one way out of your dilemma don't vote for the
politicians for Mayor they are always running you can vote for
them any lime, but this time vote for a business man, a constructive
genius.
Vote for C. L. McKenna, the non-political candidate for Mayor.
He promises not to use the emergency fund unless necessary and if
he does nse it or any part of it he will tell the public what for.
