ELIGIBILITY AT ISSUE Disqualification of Laurgaard as Candidate Is Question. VOTE IN 1914 IS FACTOR Aspirant to Commissionershlp Ad mits Casting Ballot at Xtaidlaw, Or., In State Election, but De nies Change of Residence. Does the fact that O. Laurgaard voted In a etata. election at Laidlaw, Or in November, 1914, disqualify him now as a candidate for City Commissioner of Portland, or does it not? City Attorney La Roche, giving an off-hand . and not an official opinion, says it does. Attorneys Mr. Laurgaard has consulted say that, on his state ment of facts. It does not. The city charter requires that a can didate for Mayor or Commissioner must have been a resident of the city for three years preceding the beginning of his terra. Mr. Laurgaard admits he registered at Laidlaw. where he was stationed as engineer In charge of the construc tion of the Tumalo Irrigation project. He registered In February as a Re publican and again in March, of 1914, as a Democrat. He says also that he voted In November, 1914. but declares he did so under clrcumstanoes that do not at all affect his residence in Portland 'Since the point was raised question ing my qualifications, said Mr. Laur gaard, "I have consulted six prominent attorneys of Portland, and after hear ing the facts all have assured me I did not lose my residence in Portland and that I am qualified as a candidate for Commissioner, and to take office if elected. The lawyers I consulted, all of whom gave thesame opinion, were John K. Logan, A. E. Clark, Winter & Johnson, West & McColloch, Arthur I. Moulton and Frank S. Grant. "My residence in Portland dates from June, 1910. "The office was temporary, as the time for the building of the project was limited, and as soon as the work was completed I returned to Portland. I did not at any time give up my resi dence here. I maintained my home here and paid taxes on my property. "Under the state constitution, a man does not lose his residence by working for the state. Both, my children were born in Portland, on in 1910 and the other in September. 1912, and there never has been any question about my Intent to retain my residence in Port land. As soon as the irrigation proj ect was completed I returned here and have lived here since." John F. Logan gave the opinion that. on the facts as stated by Mr. Laurgaard. ne did not lose his residence in Port land by voting for state officers at a state election in November. 1914. f K i A .

Ex-President ! Service Company Of fers ' to City Experience as Executive Officer. R K. Jnsselvn. ex-presldent of the Portland liailwav.

If he is elected, Mr. Josselyn says, will make the crolden rule his mot to and will strive "to make the best interest of the people the guiding prin ciple of city administration." His plat form follows in tun: In offering my services to the people of Portland I am conscious of no selfish mo tive. If the voters desire to avail them mives of mv lifetime experience as a pub lic service executive I feel it would be a duty, an honor and a privilege to serve them to the best of my ability. With the golden rule for my motto I will strive to make the best Interest of the people the guiding principle of city administration. Portland Faces Problems. Portland Is facing many grave problems. No period in her history has been more critical. Iler future depends largely on drafting Into her service officials who will be fair, firm and humane not swayed by personal ambition, selfish Interest or class prejuaice. This is no time for misfits. Prejudice and passion must not prevail. We must not welcome flatterers, encourage Intrigue or condone dishonesty." Progress must not be thwarted by incompetence. Courage, knowl edge of detail and practical operation are demanded. Sounding promises should not oe made. To proclaim any other purpose than, te serve the public interest is to discount wnat me future may bring forth in the way of situa tions that must be met with untraromeled Judgment. I am sure that tnougntrui voters ot Port land prefer to pass on the reputation of a candidate for honesty. Integrity and business btllty. rather than to entertain glittering promises which, as events prove, are made Impossible or ruiriument py cnanging con ditions. If elected I will go Into the Mayor's office unhampered by any promise or oblige. tion except to serve the whole public and to do the right thing at the right time ir respective of what situation may arise. "We are not here to play, to dream, to drift: "We have hard, work te do. and loads te lift." Such Is Portland's position, and such her need. If I shoulder official responsibility and by so doing ease soma of the loads bain carried by the people I will feel that I am rounding out my career by devoting my accumulated experience to the public good..
