Commissioner Baker Is a native Ore gon Ian. He was born In The Dalles, but attended school In California. He returned to Oregon 27 years ago and, except for one year spent in Baker City, he has lived in Portland ever since. He Is now completing his second At the election two years ago he was high man on the ticket In a field of about 13 candidates, and his first choice vote was so heavy that it was not necessary to oount second-choice votes for him. Previous to being City Commissioner Mr. Baker had served for nine and one-half years as a member of the old Portland City Council. He was In the theatrical business for nearly 22 years. Mr. Baker started the Baker Stock Company In the old Baker Theater at -Third and Yamhill streets In the late '90s.

I have the sanction of a large-nurober of my friends who took It upon themselves to circulate petitions requesting that I make the race.

Daly Project la Doubted "I have not been convinced of the wisdom and expediency of the pro posal for the city at this time to enter the light and power business. The plan for a $1,770,000 bond issue does not now meet my approval because It has been devised without adequate. -Investigation by competent engineers, so that there is no assurance that the amount of the bonds will care for the proposed Installation.' When' It Is rea sonably clear that by Judicious Invest ment in a munlcipally-owned light and power plant the city will get cheaper lighting for municipal purposes, the manufacturer get cheaper power and the homeowner cheaper light, I- shall be for it. It is a matter for the Judg ment of the people and they are en titled to have the fullest knowledge of the subject. I-shall.- of course, as Commissioner, vote to place the pro posal on the ballot, that the people may decide, but they are also entitled to know my attitude. . '.The growth and. prosperity of .Tort- land, and the welfare of its people of all ranks and stations will at all times be the special object of my attention. This time, when our country Is making a mighty appeal for a united citizenship, Is not the occasion for class contro versies, factional feeling and race em bltterments. When Justice is premoted along broad and sympathetic lines and citizens are given to understand that their pleas and their grievances will be given a full and fair hearing, contro versies . end and the people become united. .

"If I am elected Mayor I will do my sworn duty. I will enforce the law. "To promote the- well-being of Fort land and to make It a. better place in which to live and to make the city government serve Its people better will first and last be the end and the ob ject of my official efforts.
