Cof fey, for County Clerk; John M. Lewis, ftir County Treasurer; Sam B. Martin, fpr County Auditor, and J. E. Williams, for Justice of the Peace, Multnomah District. r.Only one office has gone begging. Apparently no candidate regarded the position of Constable of the Multnomah District worth going after. ; All but two of the candidates who Had previously filed their declarations Have turned in their completed nom inating petitions to the County Clerk. The two exceptions are George H. Hurl bWt, candidate for the Republican nom ination for County Surveyor, who withdrew, and Harry Riley, former po lice captain, who withdrew as a can didate for the Republican nomination Ipr Constable. i The grand scramble to file nomin ating petitions for Jhe office of pre cinct committeeman enlivened the final day for filing. Up to a couple of weeks ago, this humble position had apparently been- overlooked. Then it . dawned on somebody that there were S26 precincts in the county and that eacn precinct was entitled to a ore cinct committeeman. With that the rush began. : Something like 125 Republicans. 20 Progressives and 31 Democrats dashed ip to file their completed petitions for these o trices in the course of the day. ; total of 176 and possibly more, for the clerks hadn't checked them all uo by 5 o'clock last night, when their day's work ended. Wlth previous filings in the past iwreek, especially on Tuesday, the list of Republican candidates for precinct committeeman now totals 197, Demo crats. 31, and Progressives, 24. These figures may be changed a little today, when the final checking is completed, nut tney are approximately correct. :A unique platform for a precinct committeeman was that on which J. H. Misner, probably the last man to file will-make the race. It includes such planks as "Deep water to the sea. 40 reet on the bar. 30 feet in the Colum bia River, amendment of the naviga tion laws, and prohibition of stock gambling." As & precinct committee man Mr. Misner -ill have about 'as much opportunity to put any of these campaign pledges into effect as if he were a ricksha coolie in Yokohama. Here is the list of candidates for precinct committeemen whose nomi nating petitions have been filed and their precincts, as nearly complete as the list could be ascertained last night. Republicans.

These prices are somewhat above Drevlous quotations this season, but are less man me prices prevailing a year ago. IT minimum whuchui IS ATTACKED AGAIN Woman Employe of F. Stettler Lists Six Objections to Welfare Measure. HIGHER COURTS WILL ACT KImlra. Simpson Says She Is Able to Live Decently on $8 Wage, but "Will Lose Employment If Rule la Enforced. Another attack on the minimum wage order promulgated last Septem ber by the Industrial Welfare Com mission was made Wednesday when Elmlra Simpson, an employe of Frank Stettler. filed suit to enjoin the com mission from enforcing the order. The suit was brought by Attorneys Fulton & Bowerroan, wno carried the Stettler suit, attacking the same order, to the State Supreme Court and expect to carry it to the Supreme Court of the United States Circuit Judge Cleeton, to whom the case was assigned under the rule of the Circuit Court, sustained a demurrer to the complaint filed by Attorneys Ma larkey, Seabrook & Dibble and Attorney-General Crawford. The demurrer will not be argued in the Circuit Court, Judge Cleeton said, the facts and legal issues Involved . being Identical with those decided by Judge Cleeton in the Stettler case. If the State Supreme Court upholds the law the attorneys will take both suits to the United States Supreme Court together. In her complaint filed yesterday Miss Simpson charges that she has been em ployed by Stettler, a paper box manu- facturer. about three and a half years. At present she is receiving 38 a week. she says, "which amount has permitted her to live in health and comfort." If the order of the Welfare Commission, j requiring her employer to pay her $8.64, were enforced, she would be dis charged, she alleges, and thus deprived of her employment and wages. Six Objectloas Made. Six constitutional objections are made to the order of the Commission. In ad dition to being in violation of the United States Constitution, Miss Simp son charges that the order violates the state constitution. The objections raised to the order follow: (1) It abridges the privileges and im munities of the plaintiff, a citizen of the United "States. (2) Deprives the plaintiff of her property, wages, labor and liberty without due or any process of law. (3) Denies the plaintiff the equal protection of the law. (4) Provides for the taking 01 plain tiffs property, wages and earnings without just or any compensation. (5) Denies to the plaintiff the right to have the reasonableness of the wages provided in the order Judicially reviewed, and (6) Delegates or attempts to dele gate legislative powers to the confer ence and Commission. The order attacked in the suit was authorized by the minimum wage act passed by the 1913 Legislature. It pro vided for the Industrial Welfare Com mission, as members of which Governor West appointed Rev. Edwin V. O'Hara, Bertha Moores and Amedee M. Smith. This commission later called a confer-. ence on wages, hours and conditions of work in establishments in Portland where women are employed. . Result of Conference Recalled. After considering the recommenda tions of this conference, which was composed of W. B. Ayer, Mrs. E. B. Col- well, Charles McMonigle, A. T. Hug- gins, Everett Ames, J. W. Vogan, Mrs. L. Lee, Nina A. Fullman and Miss A. Bolda, the commission made the order that "no person, firm, corporation or association owning or operating any manufacturing- establishment in the City of Portland, Or., shall employ any woman in said establishment for more than nine hours a day or 60 hours a week; or fix, allow or permit for any woman employe in said establishment a noon lunch period of less than 45 minutes In length; or employ any ex perienced adult woman worker, paid by the time rate of payment. In said establishment, at a weekly wage of less man s.64. any lesser amount belncr hereby declared Inadequate to supply me necessary cost of living to such women workers, and to maintain them in health." Miss Simpson charges that she has been employed by Stettler three and a half years, during which time she has worked In a clean, light and healthful place, at wages which she and her m ployer had agreed unon. and bv which she has earned her livelihood. During una ume sne nas been paid 8 a week, sue says, cents less than the mini mum wage required by the order. further complaint is made that the order of the commission applies only to manufacturing establishments in Portland, though many manufacturing eeiaoiisnmenu outside the city employ women under the same conditions un der which they are employed in Port land, and are not affected bv the nr. cer.

There are two things to do for any form of neuralgia. Apply heat to the affected part to .soothe the, pain, and feed the nerves by taking a "tonic con taining the elements needed by them. Heat, as afforded by hot flannel, hot water bags, eta, lulls the Inflamed nerves into temporary quiet. It does not cure. Not until the nutrition of the nerves is restored will the inflam mation subside. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills furnish to the blood the needed elements and the blood conveys them to the nerves. The only way of getting food or medicine to the nerves is through the blood. Re member that. - Neuralgia is a general term. It means inflammation of a nerve. It Is given different names according to the nerve affected. Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve. Application of heat will soothe the pain in all forms of neuralgia and Dr. Williams Pink Pills will correct the condition that caused it. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and the Dr. Williams Medi cine Co, Schenectady. N. Y., will send you a little book on "Home Treatment of Nervous Disorders" for the asking. Adv. ANTI-KAMNIA TABLETS FOR Locomotor Ataxia In a very interesting-article on Locomotor Ataxia, Dr. Henry C. Story says that drues have practically no beneflclal effect In these cases. He says that rest should be insisted upon, and there should be no worries or troubles. Plenty of fresh air and moderate exercise must be insisted upon, but over exertion la Injurious. The use of tobacco and alcohol should be strictly forbidden, and over-eating Is dangerous, especially when the food Is poorly masticated. The food must be of the most nourishing kind, and the quantity and variety must be changed so that the patient will not lose his appetite, me xnosc annoying symptom In these oases Is the pain which at times is almost unbearable. Dr. Story says that be finds two An tl-kamnla Tablets repeated in an hour If necessary, gives prompt relief and rest to the oat lent.

John Manning, Democratic candidate for Governor, will address a meeting in Grange Hall at Lents Friday night. A committee of the Multnomah Pro gressive Club is arranging for a series of campaign meetings to be held in different parts of the city between now and the primary. The meetings will be held, in schoolhouses and branch li braries. , The letter writing activities of Dr. C. J. Smith, candidate for the Dem ocratic nomination for Governor, are still the subject of much comment. Dr. Smith not only has sent multi graph letters, made to appear as "per sonal" letters, to virtually every Dem ocratic voter registered in the state, and to a good many Republicans as well, but be has sent as many as four letters to some of them. He has been devoting particular attention to the women, urging them by the thou sand (a la multigraph) to write and tell him how things "look In their neck of the woods." Some of the multigraphed letters urge the voters to drop In at his of fice and talk things over. The ex pense of these thousands upon thou sands of multigraphed "personal" letters cannot out have been consid erable. It has been estimated that the cost of some of them. "Including the stamped envelope, a stamped pos tal card .for reply, the multigraphed letter itself and the addressing of it. and numerous circular inclosurea. has oeen at least 6 cents to the letter. The nominating petition of T. M. Hurlburt. Republican candidate for Sheriff of Multnomah County, was iiiea in tne office of the County Clerk yesieraay. it contained 659 signa tures, nearly twice the 336 required by law; 235 precincts were represented. All the names were obtained in two days, no effort being made to get ad ditional signatures "yesterday. Most of the day was devoted to checking up the names on the petition and certifying each precinct sheet. Among the localities represented on the petition by many signatures were Gresham. Linnton. Troutdale. Lents and St. Johns. More than 50 women signed. Many of them had come to Mr. Hurlburt's headquarters at 505 Henry building. Many labor union men were among tne signers. Only 14 more days, excluding Sun days, remain in which to register for the primary election. The registration books at the Courthouse will be closed after May 1. and will not be opened again until May 20, five days after the primary election. Woman's Arrest Follows Raid. Following a raid made early yes terday morning on the Alma Hotel, Twelfth and Stark streets, Mrs. Creta Carter, landlady of the place, was again arrested yesterday afternoon on a warrant sworn to by Lillian Myers, a roomer, who charges the woman with soliciting by sending people to her room. Mrs. Carter was held under S1000 ball, which was produced. The raid early yesterday morning netted five couples, whose cases will be heard before a Jury in Municipal Court.
