FLOCK BEHIND DALY
Workmen Who Oppose Radical
Plan to Tie Up City in
Strike Favor Baker.
ISSUE IS SHARPLY DRAWN
Agitators Seeking to Paralyze Ship
building Industry Seek Daly's
Election In Order to Profit
by Official Indulgence.
'he outstanding feature of the closing-
days of the city election campaign
is the race for Mayor between George
L. Baker and Will H. DaJy.
These two are coming down the
stretch far in advance of the other five
candidates in the field. The final lap
of the campaign finds the contest un
questionably between Baker and Daly,
with Baker a. decided favorite and gain
ing in strength every day.
The supreme effort being made by
radical labor leaders to elect Daly on
the straight-out issue of making Port
land a closed-shop town is gaining hun
dreds of votes for Mr. Baker. The
trend in his direction has been very
pronounced in the week Just ending.
Right now plans are under way on
the part of the radical labor leaders to
precipitate A general strike in Port
land. If Mr. Daly is elected, to force the
Willamette Iron & Steel Works to op
erate as a closed-shop plant.
These leaders make no secret of the
fact that their plan involves the calling
out of the men working in the new
shipbuilding plants in Portland and the
stoppage of all work at these plants,
without regard to the injury that would
be caused thereby to Portland's most
, Important industry.
Nor do they make a secret of the
fact that they are counting on Mr.
Daly's election as the first and one of
the most important steps leading up to
their general strike programme.
With Mr. Daly in the Mayor's chair,
they figure on controlling the Police
department, the Municipal Court and
the City Attorney's office. In fur
therance of their plans, efforts are
under way to organize the platform
men of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company, so they can be called
out to tie up all street railway trans
portation In the event of a general
strike.
The danger this situation involves
for Portland's new shipbuilding in
dustry is arousing thousands of voters
to the necessity of defeating Daly.
These votes are going to Mr. Baker,
who Is the one man under the cir
cumstances that can defeat Daly. Mr.
Baker will get the votes of a great
many union men, besides, who do not
favor the radical steps advocated to
endanger the shipbuilding industry.
A number of prominent Portland
physicians and dentists have written a
letter-to members of their professions
in Portland, warmly Indorsing the
candidacy of George L. Baker for
Mayor and urging them to vote for
him.
"The race lies between Mr. Baker
and Mr. Daly," reads the letter in part.
"A careful study of both men convinces
us that Mr. Baker is not only the more
representative of the masses but is a
man of far broader business experi
ence, whose politics are more construc
tive, and who will, as Mayor, do much
to restore to Portland her former pres
tige in the business world. Mr. Baket
is not in any Bense a class candidate
but represents alike the business In
terests and the responsible, thinking,
working-class. Our mutual interests
depend upon the election of Mr. Baker.
"Having given the subject careful
consideration, we, the undersigned,
having the best interests not only of
our profession but of the entire city
at heart, and having studied the good
and bad qualities of each and every
candidate, do unqualifiedly indorse
George L. Baker as our next Mayor."
The letter also urees that If th re
cipient or his friends have promised a
complimentary vote to any other can
didate, to give Mr. Baker a second
choice vote. The letter is signed by
the following physicians:
Dr. Kenneth A. J. Mackenzie, Dr. J.

Speaking at a meeting of the Pro
gressive Business Men's Club yester
day, Robert G. Dieck, candidate for re
election as City Commissioner, . dis
cussed some of the big savings that
have been effected under his adminis
tration:
"I am no orator, nor am I qualiried
to speak of other than the legitimate
duties of a municipal official," he said
In part. "Those of you who have any
considerable business at the City Hall
know that an efficient, business-like
administration of our government will
do more for the upbuilding of Port
- land than all the theories and reme
dies for the many ills, local, state and
even National, which always appear
for solution at election time and are
" largely forgotten thereafter.
"The foregoing are generalities. Now
I want to cite some facts. As Com
missioner of Public Works I have re
. duced expenditures 29 per cent against
a 35-per-cent increase in the previous
four years. Some may say this is not
enough, in view of ' the reduction in
public improvements from $19,000,000
to $3,000,000. Being qualified to speak,
-I say to you there is no merit in that1
statement, for these millions of dollars
of hastily constructed improvements
are now a tremendous burden of re
pair, of which the following is but one
item:
' "In 191S there was not a yard of
" pavement- which the city was obliged
- to keep in repair. In 1914 there were
. 20.000 yards: in 1915, 1,054.000 yards;
; in 1916, 2,832.000 yards, while this year
' we have to keep in repair over 3,4 92,000
square yards of hard surface pave
' . ment alone. I -have made, these reduc
tions in expenditures in spite of this
inheritance, in spite of heavily in
creased duties and higher prices, and
have kept these same improvements in
best possible condition for less than
' . one per cent yearly co?t."
George L. Baker led for Mayor in a
straw vote taken in St. Johns yesterday.
There were 32 votes for Baker to 20
for Will H. Daly, while the other can
didates received only scattering votes.
For example, only four votes were cast
for Wheeler, two for Josselyn, four for
Rushlight and two for Warren. This
vote is typical of most of the straw
votes taken in various parts of the city.
The two leaders are always Baker and
Daly, with the other candidates barely
in sight. All of which only serves to
emphasize the fact that the race is be
tween Baker and Daly and that the
election of Mr. Baker is the sole hope
of defeating Mr. Daly.
Another straw vote, taken in Alblna.
where Daly Is considered to be espe
cially strong, gave Daly 36 votes to 30
for Baker. These votes were divided
by choices, as follows: Daly, first
choice 26, second 4, third 6. total 36:
Baker, first choice. 19, second 7. third
4. total 30. Again the other candidates
were far behind.
"In my administration of the office
of City Auditor for the past 10 years."
said A. L. Barbur, candidate for City
Commissioner, yesterday, before the
Progressive Business Men's Club. "I
have disbursed S80. 000,000 of the tax
payers' money and the annual audit by
experts has never disclosed any irregu
larities or unbusinesslike transactions.
Rome of the things I have accomplished
during my administration are:
Provided system of adequate re
quisitions for purchase and receipt of
goods bought for the city; corrected
fire insurance abuses and saved city
large sums: instituted cash discount
system which nets city from 1150 to
00 per month; obtained legislation
which drove loan sharks from the City
Hall; was the man who put vacant lot
farming on the map to reduce the
high cost of living and has placed In
the hands of the people over 3500 lots
for garden purposes: I have been a
deep student of city financing and am
the only candidate who is advocating
better financing for the city."
George W. Caldwell is campaigning
actively in his race for City Commis-
ioner. He spoke yesterday at monta-
villa and the Colored Baptist Church
and will be one of the speakers to
night at the political meeting in St.
Johns. Saturday night, Mr. Caldwell
will wind up his campaign with a
political rally of his own in room A
of the Central Library, followed by a
meeting at Lents.
The Progressive Business Men's Club
yesterday went on record as the first
civic organization of the city of Port
land to oppose openly by resolution me
proposed merger of the Coast steam
ship lines in the city's determined
fight to preserve Portland's shipping
interests. The club also adopted a
resolution to telegraph President Wil
son in behalf of the military highway
on the Pacific Coast.
When Senator Ashurst. of Arizona,
who was scheduled to speak to the
business men at the club's luncheon.
found he would have to pay his own
fare back to Washington if he did not
accompany the Senatorial special with
his colleagues, he decided he would
have to cancel his engagement to speak
till some later date when on a West
ern tour, so the club arranged to hear
short talks from Commissioners Daly
and Dieck, W. L. Brewster, A. L. Bar
bur and K. K. Kubli.
Mr. Kubli said that with the burden
the people are now carrying and will
carry to meet the demands of the war.
it is imperative on the part or city of
ficials especially to conduct affairs as
economically as possible. He said that
if elected City Commissioner he would
exert every effort to keep taxes down
and would be opposed to the expend!
ture of public funds above the current -
cost of administration, except in in
stances where such would be abso
lutely necessary.
Mr. Kubli reviewed his record In the
last Legislature and showed that It
was largely through his special efforts
appropriations were pruned and held
within the 6 per cent limitation law.
You already have approved a part of
my record by Indorsing the important
measures I worked for in the Legisla
ture, and I now ask you to give me
your complete indorsement by voting
for me for City Commissioner," con
cluded Mr. Kubli.
All the candidates for Mayor and
City Commissioner have been invited
to speak at an open-air meeting to be
held at 8 o clock tonight near the St.
Johns City Hall. This is at the end of
the St. Johns carline. In case of rain
the meeting will be held indoors. One
of those active in arranging the meet
ing is D. C. Lewis, Representative in
the Legislature. '
There should be a heavy vote at the
city election next Monday." urged W.
H. Warren, candidate for Mayor, in a
statement yesterday. "Matters of such
Importance as choosing a Mayor and
two Commissioners and deciding measures-,
of perhaps even weightier im
port should receive careful attention
from every elector. While I am one
of the seven candidates for Mayor and
as -such naturally hope to be elected,
my main purpose in issuing this state
ment is to emphasize the urgent neces
sity that every man and woman go to
the polls next Monday and register
their votes one way or the other, not
only on candidates for Mayor and Com
missioner, but also on the measures
that are on the ballot." -
Sam Wolfe, the well-known Demo
cratic warhorse and political "fixer,'
back in South Portland. Sam re
turned from San Francisco a week or
so ago and last night called a meeting
for Will H. Daly for Mayor. The meet
ing was set for 8 o'clock. ' Mr. Wolfe
appeared with John Manning, ex-District
Attorney, and Mr. Daly. After
waiting until 9 o'clock, they finally had
an audience of 12 persons. John Man
ning, the firt speaker, then told these
12 of "the boys" to be sure to obey
"my good friend, Sam Wolfe, and all
you boys know how he used to help you
out If you got into trouble when I was,
District "Attorney. You must vote for
the man he tells you to vote for, and
that is Mr. Daly for Mayor."
Sam beamed and said, "That's right,"
while the 12 In the audience grinned.
It was a very enthusiastic funeral. The
"boys" of South Portland know Sam
Wolfe, all right. -

AUDITORIUM FACTS
ARE TOLD TO PUBLIC
Complete Explanation of Build
ing Tangle Given to Refute
Campaign Canards.
MR. LA ROCHE IS AUTHOR
City Attorney In Letter to Commis
sioner Baker Commends His At
titude Throughout In Dealing
With Contractor Pederson.
A complete explanation of the facts
concerning the contract for the public
Auditorium, nailing as false certain
campaign statements being made
against City Commissioner Baker, who
has charge of the building, was issued
yesterday by City Attorney LaRoche.
Mr. LaRoche has had charge of the
legal end of the contract and has
worked hand in hand with 'Mr. Baker
and the City Council In straightening
out the complexities encountered.
In his statement addressed to Mr.
Baker, City Attorney LaRoche says:
You asked me to g-ive you all of the facta
within my knowledge concerning the Peder
sen contract for the construction of tha
auditorium relating to the errors claimed
oy Mr. Pedersen In the sum of $21,625 and
the action of the Council thereon.
On February 18. 191. blda for the con
struction of the superstructure of the audi
torium were opened by City Auditor Barbur,
and Hans Pedersen, a contractor, of Seattle,
was found to have bid 3 17.400. which was
a sum nearly $100,000 less than the esti
mates made some time previous to that date
as the probable cost of the superstructure,
and this bid was about 2 7, 000 less than the
next low bid.
Bida Regarded as La.
The Oregonlan. under date of February 19.
1916, says:
"The bids are astonishingly low. In the
Judgment of men well posted on the quota
tions for building materials. The city ac
cordingly will be able to erect the structure
at far less cost than was figured originally,
and for considerably less than the total bond
Issue authorized by the voters In 1911."
The Telegram, under the same date, aays:
So low Is Pedersen'a bid that architects,
contractors and city officials acquainted with
v,. v "position say that It will be Impossible
ror, him to construct the building for the
amount specified."
On February 23 n.t... At, ...
tor Hans Pedersen. appeared before the
Council, pointed out mistakes In the com
putations of Mr. Pedersen s engineer amount-
g .? JJ'l.Oao, and urged the Council to
permit Pedersen to withdraw his bid. Rep
resentatives of the Chamber of Commerce,
Manufacturers Association, the Builders'
Exchange and the Building Trades Coun
cil also urged the Council to reject the Pa
?.J"5en bld and award to the next lowest
uidder. Kugene E. Smith, representing the
Building Trades Council. said that he
thought a mistake would be made if the
city required Pedersen to comply when
mistakes had been made In his bid.
On February 25 at an Informal meeting
of the Council Hans Pedersen requested
the Council to permit him to Increase his
bid by $21,525. the amount of the errors
made by his engineer In mkin tin hi
um on wnicn nis Bia was submitted.
rhe errors In calculation were shown to
the Council, and were aelf-evldent, one be
ing (10.000 In addition and the other $11.
S25 in multiplication. "The mistakes." Mr
Pedersen said, "were caused by the physical
condition of Engineer Newcomh. who wa. in
at the time he made the estimates." In
support of this latter atatement he said
that Newcomb had -fainted three times in
the City Hall soon after the bids were
opened. The matter was postponed on ac
count of the Illness and absence of Mr.
Baker.
Second Plea Ma.de.
On February 28 Mr. Pedersen again ap
peared before the Council and asked to be
relieved from his bid no contract having
been as yet signed on account of errors
In computation made by his engineer, which
he again brought to the attention of the
Council. The Council insisted on Mr. Peder
sen entering Into a contract with the city
and performing the work. The suggestion
was made by members of the Council, how
ever, to Mr. Pedersen, that when he finished
the work if he could then show that he had
lost money on the contract by reason of
the errors he complained of the Council
would consider helping him out.
On March 1 Hans Pedersen and Harrison
Allen, his attorney, requested Commissioner
Baker to sanction a plan to increase the
bid $21,525. This Mr. Baker declined to do.
and told them that any relief they secured
must come from the Council, and rb present
the matter directly to the Council. Mr.
Pedersen and Mr. Allen appeared at the
'Council meeting Immediately afterward, but
left the Council Chamber without address
mg the Council, and on March 8 Mr. Peder
sen and hla attorney. Mr. Allen, again ap
peared before the Council and asked for
assurances of a consideration of errors
claimed In the Pedersen bid If Mr. Peder
sen took the contract, completed the work
and It was evident to the Council that he
had lost by reason of errora. I remember
very distinctly that the Mayor and Mr.
Baker gave Mr. Pedersen assurances that
the Council would act fairly and rectify
errors in his bid if It was conclusively
shown that the errors resulted In a loss to
Pedersen of that sum at the end of the
work.
Pledge of Aid Given.
Mr. Allen requested the Council to make
some record of this, and the Council de
clined, statement being made by the Mayor
that Mr. Pedersen would have to rest con
tent with the verbal assurances given.
There was no proteat against this course
that I heard at the time from any mem
ber of the Council, and the report of the
proceedings of the Council of this date in
The Oregonlan under date of March o, 1916,
Is as follows:
"Before announcing his Intention of go
ing ahead Mr. Pedersen conferred with
members of the City Council and got assur
ances from them that if he doea the work
well, and if at the end presents positive
proof that he has lost money they will
treat him fairly In the matter of additional
money to make good at least a part of
the loss. The Commissioners refuseU to
put such a proposition in the oontract. but
agreed to the plan orally."
Under all the circumstances It seems to
me that the average man actuated by a
spirit of fair dealing would do Just what
you have done In relieving Mr. Pedersen
from loss directly resulting from obvious
errors In calculations made by an engineer
who' ordinarily was most capable, but who
at the time of making the computation on
which the bid was submitted was physically
and mentally In an unfit condition for that
work.

Interchange Not in Interest of the Community Nor
of Benefit to Telephone Users
If the community is to grow and be prosperous, encouragement
must be given to those who invest in its industrial and commercial
enterprises, at least to the extent of a fair, square deal to all,
whether corporation or individual, and this is all we ask in this
matter.
If reasonable protection cannot be assured those who are will
ing to take the risk of investing their capital and earnings in pub
lic utility enterprises, would they not be virtually prohibited from
participation, in the development of the community? An invest
ment subjected to appropriation for use by rival and competing
companies is not protected, and without reasonable protection
capital will not seek investment consequently, the development
of the community is hampered.
The interchange service ordinance is in no sense in the interest
of the community nor of benefit to telephone users.

strong factor in municipal and busi
ness affairs in Portland for the last
15 years.
During these years, too. Mr. Baker
has been extended the handshake of the
working man, the organized labor man
and the unorganised laboring man hand
Just as strongly as the hand of the
business man and the employer. He
has had the confidence of all through
thick and thin because he was a de
pendable, fearless and thoughtful ad
viser. When Mr. Baker took the office of
City Commissioner in June, 1915, he
found public auditorium plans all
tangled up and nothing done in the
way of starting the building. He opened
with the statement. "Let's get busy
with the Auditorium." The building,
one of the most beautiful, both inside
and outside, will be opened to the pub
lic July 4.
Many Difficulties Overcome.
Mr. Baker went through weeks of
tiresome investigation to work out
plans for the building. These finally
were whipped In shape and sent to the
architects, Friedlander & Seymour, of
New York, who had been selected as
the official architects and were under
contract with the city before Mr.
Baker took office, and all preliminaries
were disposed of rapidly.
Through thick and thin of troubles at
the building Mr. Baker stuck to the
job and fought against every -odd. with
the end In view of forestalling delay
and getting the work completed. All
manner of troubles arose but they
were pushed aside by optimism and the
work will be completed within 30 days.
In the case of the snow blockade, the
city was completely tied up. The Com-

In the shipbuilding strike, strikers
went to Mr. Baker because of his abil

and asked him to take a hand. Mr.
Baker accepted the invitation, mus
tered his energy and a few days later
conferences were brought about and
the strike was settled. In the nego

a situation loaded with dynamite.
