thA eontroversv crowing out of the
recent investigation of the Montavilla
trunk sewer was introduced into the
meeting of the Labor Council last
Jiinht in the shape of a resolution
from the civil service workers.
The resolution protested against the
cliischare of Harry Gurr, sewer insnec
tor, by Commissioner Dieck, and against
any contemplated dicharge of others
who testified that the sewer was im
perfect in construction, condemning
tiuch acts as unreasonable.
The report of the engineers who in
vestigated the sewer was branded as
unfair in that it had failed to set
forth that large quantities of cement
Jiad been used in painting- up the
cracks in the sewer. Action on the
resolution was deferred until the ex
ecutive board should have more time
to consider the question.
The Labor Council decided not to
participate in the Rose Festival in
dustrial and fraternal parade. A vote
was also taken against holding an an
nul meeting, at which time reports of
the work done during the year should
fee read.
Attempts to have Dr. Daniel Grant
Indorsed for County Coroner failed. The
proposal for municipal golf links was
opposed.
Various candidates for office were
present and spoke, among them being:
O. Laurgaard, candidate for the Legis
lature; Daniel Powers, candidate for
the State Senate; Horace G. Parsons
candidate for the Legislature; Dr. F.
3 I. Dammasch. candidate for County
Coroner; Dr. Daniel Grant, candidate

J ulian A. Mock, sentenced in 1D10 to
serve a life term in the Oregon peni
tentiary for the murder of Jesse Smith,
at Medford, was granted a conditiona
pardon today by Governor Withycombe.
i he Governor issued the pardon upon
the recommendation of the Farole
Hoard, prison officials and the prison
physician.
Mock s release is conditional upon his
going East to remain under the care of
a relative.
The murder of Smith, of which Mock
whs convicted, records show, was the
culmination of a quarrel between the
two men over a woman.
ORD has gone out to Democratic
spapers through the state I
ay off" of the fight for the
Republican nomination for Secretary of
State between Charles B. Moores and
Ben YV Olcott. While the Democratic
papers are, of course, as one in yearn
ing for Mr. Olcott's renomination and
re-election, the political wise men in
the Olcott cam.) have figured shrewdly
that inasmuch as this is very evidently
Republican year in Oregon, these
papers would do Mr. Olcott a deal more
harm than good by coming out openly
and working for him than by keeping
hands off entirely.
The idea is that enthusiastic espousal
of his cause by the Democratic papers
would not only "tip the hand" of the
Democrats, but would be certain be
sides to cause resentment among hun
dreds of Republican voters who other
wise might remain ignorant ot the fact
that all the Oregon Democrats are
hand and glove for Olcott.
This explains the remarkable deaf
and dumb policy as to the Moores-Olcott
contest that has suddenly been adopted
by the Democratic newspapers, particu
larly a Portland afternoon Journal
whose columns had previously teemed
with encomiums of Mr. Olcott and h
administration. From lauding Mr. Ol
cott to the skies and back again,
mysterious silence now prevails.
Word has also been quietly sent out
through Democratic circles for Demo
crats at the primary election to write
the name of Mr. Olcott on the bal
lots for the Democratic nomination for
Secretary of State. The plan is, in
brief, to hand Mr. Olcott the Demo- I
cratic nomination in case he is de-1
feated for the Republican nomination. ;
This is a perfectly good plan except
for one minor defect. . Which is that a
law passed by the 1915 legislature re
quires the candidate to take oath, in
filing his declaration of candidacy,
that he will not accept any other
party nomination that that for which
he is a candidate.
"If I am not nominated, I will not
accept the nomination or indorsement
of any party other than the one in
which I am registered." is the exact
wording of the pledge.
So far as that is concerned, how
ever, Mr. Olcott himself says that even
if the law did not make the require
ment, he would not accept the Demo
cratic nomination or any other party
nomination if defeated for the Republi
can nominaton. Thus Democratic en
deavors along this line will be doubly
labor lost.
A. Lincoln MacLeod, of Portland, who
is a candidate for vlelegate-at-large to
the Republican National Convention, is
a native of Oregon. He attended Pa
cific University, where he was fa
miliarly known as "Line," is a 32d de
gree Mason and a Mystic Shriner. He
I has been a Republican all his life. If
elected he promises to represent the
nights at the Central Library in the
interests of various candidates. To
night's meeting is for candidates for
Constable, County Surveyor, Sheriff,
District Attorney and County Clerk.
Candidates for the Legislature will be
on the platform Saturday and Monday
nights.
Friends of A. W. Orton, candidate for
State Senator, are organizing an "Orton
for Senator" club. Fifty membership
petitions are being circulated. A
meeting has been called for the Oregon
grill at noon today to elect officers
and perfect the organization. Mr. Or
ton served in the lower house from
Multnomah County in the 1909 session.
S. McLoughlin, secretary of Local 38-6,
International Longshoremen's Associa
tion, makes the folloving statement:
"At the regular meeting of Local 38-6
held May 3 It was decided not to in
dorse any candidate except those in
dorsed by the Central Labor Council,
and individual members of Local 38-6
are forbidden to pledge the support of
the local to any other but those candi
dates."
The following candidates are to
speak Saturday night at a meeting of
the Oregon Single Tax Club, in room
H of the Central Library: W. M. Davis,
Shirley D. Parker. Carlton 12. Spencer,
Robert Tucker, Mrs. G. L. Buland. Ma

who . are- bitter opponents of County
Clerk Coffey, are arranging to have
"some of the boys" on hand at tonight's
meeting of the Lincoln Republican Club
in the Central Library in case it is
deemed expedient to try to "start some
thing" against Mr. Coffey. An attempt
to discredit Mr. Coffey at the last meet
ing of the club had exactly the op
posite effect, inasmuch as the audience
refused to stand'for the tactics adopted
in a gentle endeavor to read into the
record false statistics as to added costs
of the County Clerk's office. After Mr.
Coffey had refuted the attack made on
him, the audience showed its resent
ment at such tactics by getting up and
following him out of the hall. This
virtually broke up the meeting. By
having plenty of "the boys" on hand
tonight who understand what is ex
pected of them, it is figured that
enough noise can be made to appear
like a spontaneous and indignant out
burst against Mr. Coffey.
