DECEMBER 7, 1914. r PUBLIC MEETING IS CALLED Senies of Queries Propounded by Opposition Candidate to Be An swered . by Mayor Schaefer and Case to Be Discussed. NEW CITIZENSHIP AMEND MENT EFFECTIVE IX TO DAY'S CITY ELECTIONS. The citizenship amendment to the Oregon State Constitution, adopted at the last general elec tion, which requires that none but full-fledged citizens may vote, will be in effect and en forcement at the various city elections throughout Oregon to day. A proclamation declaring the amendment in effect was Is sued by Governor West last Fri day. A question had been raised as to whether the amendment was self-executing and therefore effective from the day of elec tion, but however that may be, the Governor's proclamation has made it effective now. "Whether or not LJnnton desires to Incorporate with the City of Portland; the election of a Mayor, three Coun cilmen, a town Recorder and Treasurer, are the issues to be decided by the vot ers of Linnton at an election to be held tomorrow. The polls will be open from 1 to 8 P. M. Interest in 'the election Is intense, tor it is regarded as the most impor tant in years. The pro-annexation and anti-annexation parties are declared to be divided almost evenly, and are put ting up a stiff fight. J. B. Schaefer, one of the organizers of the town, and Mayor since its incorporation, has un earthed a rival for Mayoralty honors in C. F. Malone, and the fight is a bitter one. At a meeting In LJnnton Saturday night annexation was discussed before several hundred voters. E. D. Kings ley spoke against joining with Port land. L. G. Gillette, of Falrmount, in favor of such a step. Healty men of Linnton and suburbs between that town and Portland are said to be solid for annexation in order to make good some promises made land purchasers, but there is a strong opposition from those who desire to preserve the little town's Individuality. Should annexation carry, the elec tion of town officers will not prove so important, though probably they would hold office for nearly half a term. It would then be the duty of the citizens of Portland at the next election to say whether or not they wanted to incor porate Linnton. C. F. Malone, "dark horse" candidate for Mayor, entered the city primary to make the race for Recorder, but changed his mind later. The campaign has become more or less personal. To answer all allegations of his op ponent and to recite, from the begin ning, the history of Linnton as an in corporated town. Mayor Schaefer has called a public meeting for tonight to be held In Linnton. The assertions of Mr. Malone in a Linnton paper will be answered by Mayor Schaefer. Mr. Malone Is accused of opposing the Mayor out of "spite." The nominees at tomorrow's election are: For Mayor, J. B. Schaefer and C F. Malone; Recorder. Orvllle Kruse; TreaS' urer, S. M. Mann; Councilman. A J. Van Ijolah. A. A. Carter, Herman Kettner, C. W. Goodman, D. T. McCartney, A. H. Rudddt and Richard Shepard. AVKST ANT HEDGES SCORED Milwaukee's Republican Candidate Defends Council on Resort Issue. M1LWAUKIE, Or., Dec 6. (Special.) Herman Loedlng, candidate for Mayor on the Republican ticket, has replied to the statement of District Attorney Hedges made In his address Friday night to the effect that the Mll wauicie Council can close up the Friars' Club at any time it declares the club a nuisance. "This club was organized under the laws of the State of Oregon and has a license from the state," said Mr. Loed lng this morning . ."According to these articles the club was started to pro mote the mental, moral and physical welfare of its members. It has a license from Governor West, who has closed this resort up several times, and still It remains open. "The truth Is that the Council re fused to grant the club a license and took away the license the tavern held as soon as it was found it was violat ing its license and has refused utterly to give that place another license. When the Council would not grant It a license it went to Governor west and got a license under the name of the Friars' Club, not with the consent of the Milwaukle Council, which refused to grant a renewal of the license. The Kriars' Club has the same rights as the Portland Commercial Club, the Ar lington Club or any club which has a license from the state. It can serve liquor to its members only, but cannot sell. "If Governor West or District At torney Hedges has evidence that the Friars' Club is a nuisance why have they not closed it up and kept it closed for all time? Governor West has had companies of the Oregon National Guard at this resort several times, but he has failed to close it up for the sim ple reason he was making a grand stand play." G. C. Pelton, candidate for Mayor on the Citizens' ticket, declared this morning that If elected he will enforce the law and close up both the Friars' Club and the Hotel Belle.
