THE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1917. 17 MAYORALTY FIGHT BADLY SCRAMBLED HopeS of Daly, Minority Can didate, Based on Divi sion of Opposition. SIX ASPIRANTS IN RACE four Other Than the Two Principals Considerably Better Daly's Oat look by Scattering Forces , Combating ' Him. TVlth less than a month to go oefore the city election, six candidates are out for Mayor, and the situation is pretty badly scrambled'. From the very outset, one fact has tnn plain: The real contest for Mayor of Portland is between George L. Baker and Will H. Daly. The successive entry of other candidates has not altered this fact a whit. But, wittingly or unwittingly, these additional entrants have done this: They have considerably bettered the chances of Mr. Daly by scattering- the opposition to him that otherwise would be united behind. Mr. Baker. Lnless veritable political explosion should j occur, it may be said, with all respect tni) deference to the other estimable gentlemen In the field besides Air. Baker and Mr. Ialy, that not one of them has a real chance of election. Baker or Daly, Is Question. Thus as matters stand, either Mr. Baker will be elected or Mr. Daly will be elected. More than In any recent municipal campaign in Portland, the issue is clean cut. It is whether Mr. Daly and his radical views of city government shall prevail, or whether they shall not prevail. For four years Mr. Daly has been shaping his course to produce Just this issue. He is the candidate of minority, but of a solid minority. A large part of the organized labor contingent is with Mr. Daly. He has the Jitney drlverB to a man. Those who think municipal light is brighter than other lights, regardless of the cost, are in his campaign phalanx. The water meter boys are with him. And so on and so forth, with other of his radical policies. As the situation stood two or .three weeks ago, however, Mr. Baker would have walked away with the election. He has by far the largest personal fol lowing of any of the candidates. He is a better campaigner than Mr. Daly, and he derives support from more varied sources than any of his op ponents. Mr. Baker has very strong business backing. He also has a strong labor following, especially among the street car employes and others who oppose the leadership of the Jitney driver ele ment. Field Becoming; Clattered. But about that time two or three weeks ago candidates began to dash upon the field of glory. They , have been dashing there ever since. Now the field is cluttered with them. All these candidates have certain elements of strength, and generally speaking these elements are a drain upon the strength of Mr. Baker and not upon that of Mr. Daly and his concentrated ' following. B. S. Josselyn, ex-president of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany, for instance, has a considerable business backing that would otherwise certainly go to Mr. Baker. An able business man, Mr. Josselyn does not give indication of developing nearly enough strength to win. though he will have enough to hurt Mr. Baker, and consequently, to help Mr. Daly. Aside from his business support, Mr, Josselyn is expected to receive the sup port jof many Christian Scientists, and of portions of the anti-Catholic strength. Hon Wheeler and RnsMLght Figure. E. N. "Wheeler is a business man who is banking considerably upon the sup port of the so-called A. P. A. or anti- Catholic forces. He also has quite business backing and in this latter par ticular he is detracting from support that would otherwise go to Mr. Baker. There is no reason, however, to believe that Mr. Wheeler can be elected. The entry of ex-Mayor A. G. Rush light might, at first thought, be ex pected to cut into Mr. Daly's strength. Mr. Rushlight as Mayor was a favor ite with tne labor element that is sup porting jur. Daly. It is questionable, however. If Mr. Kusnugnt wm injure Mr. Daly very much. As has been said, Mr. Daly is a minority candidate, but he is the can dldate of a solid and concentrated minority. Mr. Warren's Chance Poor. Will H. Warren, ex-secretary to Mayor Albee, the other candidate in the running, announced himself before either Mr. Baker or Mr. Daly. But even at that time It was foregone that the real contest would be between these two. Mr. Warren is considered the moral Issues candidate, but there is no out standing moral issue In this campaign and he is not generally conceded much chance of election. Thus the fight still is unquestion ably between Mr. Baker and Mr. Daly Mr. Baker would win with thumbs up if he were not handicapped by this scattering of the opposition to Mr. Daly between several candidates. A lot can happen -jn three weeks. But, as previously observed, the sit uation Just at this writing Is pretty badly scrambled all around. , J-4..-- Chalmers 7-Passenger Touring Car Price $1350 Detroit Chalmers; ;..v 5-Passenger Size 7-Passenger Comfort Many a 5 -passenger car is larger, heavier, costs more to run than this Chalmers.

"The Premier then explained how it was proposed to satisfy the War Of fice demands for further reserves, and also gave figures of the British ton nage sunk month by month since last August, and gave an encouraging ac count of the methods adopted to meet the submarine attacks. He announced the figures of the new tonnage which could and would be built during the next 12 months. Solving of Food Question Assured. "Upon the food question the Premier pointed, out that with Judicious econ omy In consumption and increased productivity in home supplies there need be no alarm as to starvation, and that in 1918 we should be self-support Ing. There appeared to him no neces sity to re-state the allies war aims, which were well known and were the ANTI-DIVER PLAN EVOLVED same as had been repeatedly stated 'Hprhprt H. Asaulth. the ex-Premier.

Stall, a. mining engineer, and submitted to the Navy Department. Mr. Stall's plan provide- for (barging an electro-magnet inside a torpedo, after it has been launched at a sub marine.

The only group of trained llamas i the world is one of the novel features of the Al. G. Barnes four-ring circus, which will be here May 14 and 15. Animal trainers for years have failed to make performers out of these small camels because of their sullen an timid nature. Difficulty also has been experienced In keeping them healthy in the North American climate. It remained for the Barnes trainers to capture in the Andes Mountains, transport to th country and train four llamas, which are said by experienced animal men to be the most remarkable performers In the circus world today. "Toodles." the RATE RISE IS DEMANDED WESTEHX RAILROADS AND SHIP COMPANIES ARE HEARD. rn $g? Officials Declare Increased Operating Cost Must Be Borne by Con sumer Aa in Other Lines. Washington, May 10 Spokesmen or raiiroaas in the West and steam Binp companies operating along the Atlantic seaboard appeared before the Interstate Commerce Commission and seconded the plea of carriers in other sections or tne country that an increase of 15 per cent in freight tariffs is ab solutely necessary if bills are to be paid during the coming year. R. H. Aishton, president of the Chi cago & Northwestern, gave it as his opinion that the emergency confront ing the roads is the same as that con fronting every other activity, and point ed out that commercial institutions generally have met advanced costs by raising prices to the consumer. The Increased revenue to be derived from the proposed advance of 15 per cent In rates would not be sufficient, the wit ness declared, to meet the swollen op erating costs. Mr. Aishton told the Commission that his road had tried to effect economies but had found none practicable. He said the system had considered reducing the tonnage of trains and speeding them up as a means of overcoming advances brought about by the Adamson law, but that it had found the method un sound. Statistics presented to the Commis sion on behalf of seven Coastwise steamship companies purported to show that because of the rise In the price of material and labor the concerns Does Your Complexion Barometer Register Fair or Cloudy? If you are well, it registers "fair." If you are below par if for example, constipation forces- you to depend periodically on drugs and physics, it is very likely to register "cloudy." Nujol helps keep you free from con stipation and from the laxative habit as well. It does not upset the ordinary f rocesses of digestion and assimilation, t does not irritate, but by internal lubrication facilitates normal move ments. In this way it promotes true health, the only sure foundation of a good complexion. As Nujol is not a physic but a lubricant. it does not gripe or upset tho system. Being tasteless, it is not unpleasant to take. The Standard Oil Company (New Jersey) has used its world-wide re sources in producing Nujol and its reputation is behind the product. Nujol is the only remedy for constipation we manufacture. The genuine sold only in pint bottles bearing Nujol trade-mark. All bottles filled at our Nujol plant, abso lutely modern and sanitary.

Two New Lysol Products Giving time -proved protection Antiseptic Toilet Soap contains the famous Lysol Antiseptic, and therefore protects the skin from germ infection. Antiseptic Shaving Cream makes razor and brush arttiseptically clean, keeps in fection from cuts and flesh exposed by shaving. These two new products give the same protection to your skin that Lysol Antiseptic gives to the Hos pital, the Doctor, or the Surgeon. They destroy all disease germs before they can work injury. No matter how careful you are, your skin is never free from tiny breaks, scratches, cuts or chapped places where poisonous germs may enter. Before the innumerable, minute wounds heal, they should be made antiseptically clean germ free to guard against irritating soreness, blood poisoning and skin diseases which leave permanent blemishes. Lysol Toilet Soap not only gives this protection, but is also healing and soothing for the most delicate skin, leaving it wholesome and sweet. As a shampoo it cleans the scalp of Dandruff and makes the hair soft and lustrous. As valuable for baby's bath as for hard ened and roughened skins. Lysol Shaving Cream gives a refreshingly cool, soothing shave with no after-effect of smarting or skin stiffness. But, best of all, it destroys the germs seek ing entry into the tiny cuts and scratches, and cleanses the skin for quick, healthy healing. It gives the anti septic shave. Ask for these Lysol products at any druggist's, and for your skin's health accept none other than those bearing the signature of Lehn & Fink, sole makers. Strong.

It may be also said with equal truth that no remedy has been found which Is a speclno in all cases. In fact the literature of rheu matism shows that there are but few druxs whloh have not been given a trial. In the bands of one observer we find that a certain drug has been used with the utmost satis faction; others have found the same remedy to be a great disappointment. All physi cians however agree that every method of treatment is aided by the administration of some remedy to relieve the pain and quiet the nervous syBtem and Dr. W. S.
