S A A S COAST YARDS ARE FAVORED GUY STANDIFER RETURNS FROM CONFERENCE IX EAST. West Said to Be Depended On to Sup port Government in Building Full Quota of Ships. Guy M. Standifer, president of the G. M. Standifer Construction Corporation, This opinion has re- arrived last night from the FTnst, where suited in the short term. For this short term there are two candidates.- Dr. T. L. Perkins, former member of the Legislature, and A. G. Rushlight, former Mayor of Portland Each was an eleventh-hour candidate On the ballot there will be no second choice for the short term and electors nd wood ships! he spent several weeks on business con nected with the steel ship construction programme for the coming year. He said he appreciates more than ever the advantages of the West, and that the Pacific Coast is being depended on to back the government with steel vessels must vote for either Perkins or Rush light. Regarding the long term, there the following entries: C. A. Bigelow and Dan Kellaher. incumbents; S. C. Pier. Oscar W. Home and Arthur Baines. In this contest there will be a first and second choice, and the two candidates receiving the largest Bum per of votes will be elected. for a third choice It would be neces- sary, according to the provisions of the charter, to have seven candidates for Commissioner for the long term. The law reads that there must be more than three times as many candidates as there are places to be voted for. Owini to the shortage of candidates. voters must rest content with express' lng a second choice. City Auditor Funk's name will ap pear on the ballot twice. He was ap pointed to fill the vacancy caused by the election of City Auditor Barbur to, be City Commissioner, and the ruling of City Attorney La Roche affects his tenure of office just as It affected Commissioner Kellaher. Mr. Funk, having no opposition, is a candidate for the short term of City Auditor and also for the long term. There is blank line, however, on the ballot and voters can write in the name of any one they see fit. As the ballot is being prepared, the first place to be voted for will be City Auditor, short term. Then will come City Commissioner, short term. with the names of Mr. Perkins and Mr. Rushlight. Dr. Perkins drew No. 13. Voters are instructed on the ballot that , they are to vote one choice for this position. Then comes City Auditor, long term, with Funk again as'the only candidate. This Is followed by City Commissioner. long term, two to be elected, and the voters are directed to make a second choice. In other words, with five can didates for the long term, and a sec ond choice allowed, every elector can vote for all the candidates except one. It has been demonstrated in other lections where the preferential voting has been used that second-choice votet are necessary to win. Never in Portland has a candidate had enough first-choice votes to carry the election. Second and third-choice votes have been required. When the first, second and third-choice method of voting was Inaugurated in this city some of the candidates fig ured out that a "single-shot" vote would be the way to beat the game. Candl- There has been no change in the de termination to speed the building and delivery of tonnage and our plant, to gether with others in the West, is be ing called on to continue the show ing made so far," said Mr. Standifer. "We have much more to be thankful for in this region than the fact con ditions permit us to carry on ship building during the stormy period, and that is the comparatively light spread of Spanish influenza, for in the East it is much more serious and its effect is felt in the shipyards." Mr. Standifer saya the wood ships al ready in commission have proven their value and the records made In the West have advanced the wood ship industry. Lntil he is able to confer with Charles F. Swigert. vice-president and general manager of the steel and wood yards of the corporation, he will not discuss general plans of new work mapped out. With five steel ships al ready under way at the yard, a modern hotel about completed and prelimin aries under way for a city of bunga lows, all for housing shlpworkers, it is assured the Standifer plants will be the center of an expansive schedule of shlpwork.

Holt stated yesterday that he had received telegrams from number of counties in the atate, and is of the opinion that more drastic means will nave 10 oe aaopiea in the near future in order to stamp out the disease. "Several of the county health authorities have been called to colors during the- past rew montns," said Dr. Holt, "while a number of others are ill and unable to perform the duties connected with their office. As a result, our health organization Is not as efficient as we could desire." Dr. B. R. Shoemaker, City Health Of ficer at Roseburg. and Dr. Marsh, of Wasco County, are members of the State Health Organization now af flicted with influenza. Dr. A. C. Seely, of Roseburg. has arrived in Portland and will assume the duties of State Health officer following Dr. Holt's removal to Camp Lewis within the next few days.

Alderman, superintendent of patriotic school activities, urges that war news be read aloud by the children to the family circle while the schools are closed. "Children of the city should keep pace with current war events." said Mr. Alderman. "Children should be in cluded in family war discussion. Par ents are prone to discredit the child's understanding of such matters, but they will learn that often valuable con tribution may be made by the young sters." Mr. Alderman Is examining a number of textbooks on the present war situ ation. It is probable that several such sets will be purchased and placed in the Portland schools. Thrift stamps to the approximate value of J7000 daily are being sold among the Portland school children during the period in which the schools are closed. Other war work on the part of the children has practically ceased. BOND RECORD' IS CLAIMED Railroad Employes In Wells-Fargo Building Make Good.
