THE MORXTXG- OEEGOXLO, TUTTKSDAT, OCTOBER 29, 1914. 13 WOMEN LINE UP FOR 1. HURLBURT Opponent's Attack in St. Johns Speech Only Adds Strength ( to Republican Nominee. CLUBS -TO BE CONSULTED Addison Bennett Describes Condi tions and Cites Belief of Ana lysts of Politics That Election Is Won. BY ADDISON BENNETT. The Oregonian has, ever since the primary election. In which, Thomas M. Hurlburt was made the Republican nominee for Sheriff, stood consistently for his election. Why? Because it is known that Mr. Hurlburt is one of the ablest, cleanest and most conscientious men who ever aspired, to that office. As one proof that the voters of Mult nomah County think this is true, he received in the primaries more than four times the number of votes cast for his Democratic opponent. Mr. Hurlburt's election is practically assured. The Democratic and "inde pendent" hosts know this, and as the election draws near they are moving heaven and earth to defeat him. They are trying in every way to impugn his reputation as a man and a citizen, one of the latest stabs coming from his opponent, who in a speech last Satur day night at St. Johns made the state ment that Mr. Hurlburt, in case of his election, would appoint two men, whose names were given, as his deputies. When that statement was made the Bnpnktr Tnliwt hu.VA knnvn riirl know. that those two men were about the last two in the county that would be con sidered, but in the game of dirty poli tics being played it was thought such a report would turn a large number of the women from casting their votes for Mr. Hurlburt. "o pre-Eleetlon Promises Made. The word of Mr. Hurlburt has never been questioned in this community never! He has been in the limelight here for many, many years. He has been the doer of big things. Marks of his handiwork and skill are to be seen on practically every street in Portland. Never a dirty dollar has passed through his hands; and what is more, in the heat of political contests his word has never before been brought into question: but his opponent now, at the eleventh hour, repudiates it, for Mr. Hurlburt has iterated and reiter ated the statement that he had made no pre-election promises and would make none. On the other hand, he has asserted 1 and still asserts that in case of his election he. will consult with the lead ing citizens of the county before ap pointing any deputies and will be ruled by the consensus of opinion of such men. He thus assures the voters prac tically that he will appoint clean men: and once appointing them he will see that they do their duty honorably and honestly. Among his appointees will be two or more matrons for the County Jail: he avers that he will see that these ap-l pointees are approved by the leading women's organizations of the county and that their tenure of office, like all of hi3 appointees, will depend upon their good conduct and the proper dis charge of their duties. When Mr. Hurlburt was induced to enter the race for Sheriff he declared that so far as he was concerned it would be a campaign devoid of person alities, and he has kept his word in that as he has in all things. It has been suggested to hira from time to time that bis opponent might be at tacked for some of his acts, but Mr. Hurlburt has remained true to his re solves and has not himself made or allowed his friends to make any accusations. Doubt Causes Sorrow. But when it is charged that he has promised to appoint two notoriously unfit men as deputies he thinks it no more than right that he should deny such statement made by his opponent and once again call attention to his platform and to his personal ' state ments as to how his appointments, in case of rfls election, are to be made. In a long talk with Mr. Hurlburt yesterday, in which I called his atten tion to the published remarks of Mr. Word in which he made the statement that he. Mr. Hurlburt, had agreed to make certain appointments. I found him mora grieved than offended, for, he remarked, "this is the first time In my life that my word has ever been questioned. 4'nJaji.my platform I distinctly said, and in my . public speeches during the campaign I have frequently said, that I had made and would make no pre-election promises. And I think the people of Multnomah County know Tom Hurlburt well enough to know he will live up to the letter and spirit of his promises. During the last day or two Mr. Hurl burt has been promised the support of a great many women whom he natur ally thought, from their home ties and affiliations, would be against him. But bis promise to see to it that the vari ous women's organizations of the county would be called upon to rec ommend the matrons of the jail, and possibly a deputy, has brought to him the support of a large number of women. Mr. Hurlburt looks upon the race as already won and his friends feel that he will be elected by a large majority. a delegate to the State Congress of Mothers, is at the Portland Hotel.

Following out plans arranged some time ago when it became apparent that there would be a large surplus of water bureau funds at the end of this year, . Commissioner Daly an nounced yesterday that on December 1 he will put into effect a new sched ule, materially reducing present rates. The reduction in rates is possible be cause of the fact that for some time past the water bureau has raised more money under the prevailing water rates than is necessary for the maintenance of the water works system. The minimum rate for flat rate services now is 50 cents a month. At this rate a householder is entitled to the use of water for drinking and for cooking or washing where there are not more than 10 persons In the fam ily using such service. For a bath tub an additional charge of 10 cents a month is made and for a toilet charge of 15 cents a month is made. It is proposed to eliminate the charge for one or the other of these extra fixtures and allowed the use of the additional fixture along with the tap for cooking, drinking or washing,' for the iiat rate of 50 cents a month. It 1.: probable that the extra charge for toilets will be eliminated. This means that the present flat rate users who pay 75 cents a month will have their bills cut down to 60 cents a month. FILMS SHOW STARS Max Figman, Great Favorite, Shines at Star. - MRS. THAW IS AT MAJESTIC Columbia Has ' "The Ragged Earl" With Andrew Mack in Role and Peoples Has Political Film. Sunset Holds Prince Play. There is such an appeal in Max Flgman's acting In "What's His Name" at the Star Theater that the spectator is always on the border between ' a laugh and a cry. He takes the part of a man whose personality is sub merged in that of his wife. She is a famous actress, he, her husband and that is all. He takes that pain ful title among his own friends, and hers are disdainful of him. She sup ports him and their child, lives in New 1"ork and leads the life of a popular actress. Figman. always a droll, slow-mov ing character, exceeds himself in this production. Miss Robertson is exquisitely beau tiful in her characterization of the actress and fine in her refusal to be 'common" when the chance presents itself. "What's His Name" will be at the Star until Sunday. KVELYX THAW GREAT 3IAGVET "Threads of Destiny" at Majestic Is Drawing Feature. Possibly no other picture ever shown in the city has ever drawn larger crowds than "Threads of Destiny," with Evelyn Nesbit Thaw in the leading role, at the Majestic Theater is draw ing. All week the playhouse has been full at every performance. "Threads of Destiny" is a semi-his torical feature in five reels. The ac tion opens in Siberia after a massacre of the Jews. Swiftly and comprehen sively the plot unravels, until the spec tator is almost swept 'away with the force of the story. Mrs. Thaw is a good emotional actress, although her work on the screen is noticeably bet ter in lighter parts. Her small son. Russell William Thaw, disports him self most creditably and has received many ovations from Majestic patrons this week. There are many beautiful outdoor scenes in the picture and a number of good interiors. Accompanlng the pictures a nine- piece orchestra renders appropriate music. ANDREW MACK AT COLUMBIA Star in "The Ragged Earl" Appears in Film of Irish Comedy-Drama. Andrew' Mack, the old-time Broad way favorite, who starred for so many years in The Ragged i.ari. tne pop ular Irish comedy-drama, appeared in a five-act visualization of this favorite production yesterday at the Columbia. For clean, pure comedy-drama of the highest type there is nothing which will compare with this offering. Andrew Mack makes his. first appearance In pictures in this play, and he has made a great success of it. In regard to the photography, scenes and settings the play may take its place among the best. The sets have been arranged with apparent care and some remarkable scenes are shown. In the story, "The Ragged Earl," a hale and hearty Irishman, impersonates the nobleman and carries away the girl he loves. Another feature on the bill which afforded exciting entertainment was the episode of "The Million Dollar Mys tery." This bill will run the remainder of this week. StTXSET HAS OLD FAVORITE Elsie Esmond and Thurlow Bergen, ex-Baker Players, Are Stars. The feature of the present pro gramme at the Sunset Theater is "A Prince of India," a four - reel drama featuring Elsie Esmond and Thurlow Bergen, both formerly of the Baker Stock Company. ' The plot abounds with thrills. -Al The Prince of India is the possessor of a priceless diamond which a band of crooks is attempting to obtain. Their accomplice is a beautiful woman who, in trying to aid the crooks, falls in love with her intended victim. How the Prince ultimately loses and re gains his treasure makes this picture play intensely interesting. The Tramp Quartet gains in popu larity with every performance. The open-air concerts continue to draw large audiences. "Sweet and Low," a Keystone com edy with a lot of "ginger," and the Northwest local news conclude the offering. The bill is' a good example of a blended show, and is one of the most attractive ever presented at the Sunset. FEDERAL AID CONSIDERED Forestry Officials Act on Appropria tion for Road Building. The consideration of the aDDronria- tion to be asked from Congress to assist in building roads in forested countries, where the cost of construc tion Is beyond the resources of the taxpayers, was begun yesterday by local Forest Service officials. The plan was outlined last Summer by Chief Forester Graves, when he visited this district on his way to the monument in the Olympic National Forest Reserve. It provides that the Forestry Department shall ask Con gress for an appropriation sufficient to assist the counties in building the roads. The appropriation will be re funded from the 25 per cent of the forest revenue which now goes to the counties for road building and school support. In certain sections of the Western States, notably in Western Oregon and Washington, this fnud is at present inadequate, because the timber on the reserves is surrounded by other tlm ber owned by individuals, and there fore inaccessible. The plan outlined by Forester Graves is to seoure an advance appropriation, guaranteed by bonding tne future revenues. Xevvs From Oregon Ports. COOS BAT, Or., Oct. 28. (Special.)

Even though he was unfortunately named, he does bring Joy neverthe less, and is bringing it to patrons of the People's Theater this week in "The County Chairman." The story is one ox political lire in a small New England township. There is the usual rivalry in love and poli tics, worked out in a refreshing way that appeals to the spectator. The county chairman perpetrates all sorts of "vile deeds," including the making of a match between his own "partic ular boy" and his rival's daughter. The whole picture is saturated witn genuine, good, clean comedy, a little pathos, and a tiny, wee bit ol melo drama just enough to make it in teresting. "The County Chairman" will be at the People's all week and if you want to have a hearty laugh you should go through his campaign with mm.

Ten Oregon hens are on their way to San Francisco to lay against the world. The international egg-layingr contest for the exposition, begins November 1, 1914, and continues until October 31. 1915, under the supervision of the poultry division of the College of Agri culture of the University of California, in the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Hens will be there from England and Canada and South America and Aus tralia, and perhaps from China; hens of rank and pedigree, descended from good laying parents. Hens will be there from Missouri, where the hens are supposed to be proverbially fine layers, and from all the other' states of the Union. On November X. 10 Oregon bens will begin laying against all for the world's championship. The Oregon champion hens are from the Browndale Farm, of Aurora, a cor poration of which R. H. Brown, of Portland, is manager. They are the best 10 trap-nested, single-comb White Leghorns that Mr. lirown could select. 'If Oregon wins this international egg-laying contest." says Mr. Brown, "it will mean hundreds of thousands of dollars to the poultry men of the state, and I am cf the opinion that Oregon stands a good chance' of win ning it, or at least to come out near the top."

"Nowadays we are able to get the new plays the first year after they are produced in New York and to get the best plays on the market. In this way we are able to offer Portland audiences attractions as good as they will find anywhere in the land," said George L. Baker yesterday at the Ad Club luncheon, where be introduoed his new stock company and gave a talk upon its organization. "We are catering to the home and family," he said, "and trying to offer to the people a character of plays and a company of actors whose characters are above reproach." John F. Logan, speaking on the economic value of a stock company to a city, said: "Every city that has I successful stock company is a success ful city. For a stock company repre sents in its character the character of the city and the people who go to make up the city."
