IN THE PORTRAIT GALLERY OF
POSSIBILITIES
JOHN B. COFFEY, WHO WANTS TO BE
MAYOR, HAS HUNG UP HIS PICTURE
BY ARTHUR A. GREENE.
THESB be days of nascency for the
lowly and modest candidate and the
militant violet. The delectable bock
Is lifting Its amber crest on city bars: de
ciduous bougha are renewing their cov
nant with life and are showing their token
in greening buds; rural barnyards are
tuneful with the minstrelsy of industrious
hens, and only the man who hao neglected
to register Is vile. The world and all the
rest are fair to look upon.
Tt is Spring aeain.
Speuklng of candidates reminds me that
. of course no one really wants to be Mayor
of Portland, but since someone must go to
the sacrificial altar a number of patriots
have nobly responded to duty's clarion
call and are now scurrying hither in the
effort to be nominated or tear their shirts.
. Itent garments will be the portion of all
but two of these would-be Mayors, and
sporting interest now engages itself with
trying to determine who will be the
chosen. Later these two will wrestle Jt
. out at the city election.
It has fallen to my lot to seek out the
various mayoralty candidates and write
as I may concerning them. So now,
ladles and gentlemen, if you will kindly
give me your attention for a few moments
1 will refer briefly to John B. Coffey,
merchant tailor, statesman and popular
idol of organized labor.
The game is not new to Mr. Coffey.
For years he was a Republican party
worker, without a notion of running for
offiiie. Last year, however, he took a
flyer on his own account and was sent
to tile Legislature. During the last ses
sion he refused to behave and played ari
' important part in State legislation. Prin
cipally he distinguished himself by a cour
ageous though loslnff light against? the
owners of the Portland gas franchises,
and his record for the Winter was one
of consistent opposition to "the interests."
I have never learned the rudiments of
politics and have very little Idea who will
be either the Republican or Democratic
nominee for Mayor, but it appears signifi
cant to me that the supporters of Johnnie
Coffey worn proud of their allegiance.
They proclaim It everywhere and are
proselyting at all hours of the day and
night. Wherever men foregather, there
you will And some Coffey boomer plugging
away for his candidate. These supporters
appear to be chiefly men who work, and
this electioneering is chiefly noticeable
after working hours. The labor unions
re enthusiastically for him principally
because, since be became an employer
plght years ago, he has employed none but
union men. The plain-cltizens-on-foot, of
whom the majority Is chiefly composed,
seem to feel that he is one of them, and
ruch an influence is potent. Coffey knows
this and expects to win his light, because
the people are back of him.
I called at th.e candidate s place of busi
ngs the other day and found him sur
rounded by imported woolens and good
nature. Ho led the way to his dingy
little private office, where we sat down
together for fifteen minutes. Mr. Coffey
hasn't yet acquired the interview habit,
and Is not glib in talking for print, but
together we went over the matter of his
candidacy and before the visit waji done
he had given me a pretty clear idea of
what he is and what he stands for.
To begin with, he wants very much to
be Mayor, lie has had a taste of publio
life and the savor of it is pleasing to him.
He has some policies which he wants to
advance, most important of which is a
reform in the manner of dealing with
public, service corporations. His dearest
desire is to see a repeal of the Portland
(las Company's franchise, and he makes
no bones of saying that he will give that

Because It Is alleged that he sold
liquor to a minor. Clarence Corliss is
lodged in the County Jail with the
prospects of a heavy fine and perhaps
m jail sentence awaiting him. He is
charged with having sold the liquor to
Weaver Gilstrap on March 30. It is
stated that young Gilstrap will swear

young wo-;ian and not for himself.

corporation no quarter and expects none
in return.
As an active member of the Commercial
Club and Chamber of Commerce he is in
full working sympathy with the spirit of
New Portland. He favors now as he did
during the legislative session the estab
lishment of a Port of the Columbia Com
mission, free pilotage, over the Columbia
bar and other harbor improvements. He
is especially anxious to see a regular
steamer line established between here and
Coos Bay and another for the Alaska
run. Street improvement is something of
a hobby with him. t
Without criticising present conditions he
promises greater efficiency in the police
department if he is elected.
From what he says I gather that if
John Coffey' should decide to give a pa
rade and carry a banner with a nicely
embroidered motto on it the device so
flaunted would be "Progress, and Lots
of It."
Mr. Coffey has been successful in his
business; he is a payer of considerable
taxes, has a wife and four children and
lives on the" East Side in the Ninth
Ward to be more definite and certain
He is 40 years old and a native son,
having been born in Salem of pioneer
parentage. He has been identified with
the Republican party since he became a
voter and has rendered good service to
the cause. Eighteen years ago when he
came to Portland it was to work as a
telegraph operator.- Later h went into
A. B. Croasman's store and learned the
clothing business so well that he branched
out for himself eight years ago as a mer
chant tailor and has been" entirely suc
cessful. He graduated from Williamctte
University and has learned much in the
hard school of the world.
There are few better "mixers" in town
and he knows many men by their front
names. As a high official in the Elks
he has a large lodge following and the
fact that he is an Irishman and a Catholic
may not come amiss In his campaign.
.tiowever, ne would preter to run on
his record in the House, as chairman of
th railroad -committee and in other ca
paeities. He protests that he has no
money to spend for political purposes and
couldn't buy the Job If he wanted to.
This is part of what I started to tell
you, ladies and gentlemen, when I called
your attention to the first picture in the
gallery a few momenta ago.- Many more
creditable things might be said of John
B. Coffey as a candidate for Mayor, but

Alleged Rooming-House Thief With
Heaps of Apparel Arrested.
William McBride was arrested in a
rooming-house at Fourth and Glisan
streets last night on a charge of larceny.
When the officers searched McBride's
room considerable clothing, evidently
stolen from rooming-houses and stores In
the past few months, was found. On Mc
Bride's person was found a gold watch,
which was stolen from J. Grabina, at
32H4 Water street on November 2. Among
the articles of wearing apparel were IS
suits of men's clothes, IS pairs of shoes,
two overcoats and a number of other
minor articles. Some of the clothing is
of good quality. A few articles are second-hand,
stolen from residences or rooming-houses,
the police believe. McBride
says he purchased the articles from a
second-hand store.

Mrs. Ross Loses Damage Suit.'
The jury in the damage suit of Mrs.
Artinsia Ross against .the Portland
Railway Company, to recover damages
for alleged personal injuries received
as a result of a fall from one of 'the
company's cars a year ago. the amount
asked for being $10,000. brought, in a
verdict for the defendant. The verdict
was practically the result of tho suc
cessful tight Attorney Dan Malarkcy
made In the Impeaching of Mrs. Ross'
testimony, and the jury decided the
case on the fact that she told prac
tically two different stories of the af
fair. A verdict was also brought in
for the defendant in the case of Bar
bara Radcmnker against the same
company. The story of the case is
somewhat similar, and was won by Ma
larkey on practically the "same
grounds.

AFTER FIRST CONVENTION
PORTLAXD STOPEKS OF WORLD
GET TO "WORK.
Expect to Put tip Building of Their
Own Pn Campaign Against
Wildcatters. ,
Plans are being developed whereby
Portland will secure the first conven
tion of the Stopers of the World, the
mining: order which is spreading
throughout the cities of the country.
At a meeting of Stope No. 1 Friday
evening an . election of officers was
held and the matter of the gathering
of the representatives discussed. Port
land being the birthplace of the order
it was deemed proper that the city
should be honored by this convention.
Stopes are being formed in many
mining towns.
Tho Stopers' ritual contains th good
traits of other orders in the way of
social, fraternal and beneficial fea
tures, but has for another object' the
elevating of the mining industry by
exposing the unscrupulous promoters
whose crooked methods cast odium on
legitimate propositions.
Among the things the organization
hopes to accomplish is the creation of
a National "Department of Mines and
Mining, passage of adequate laws for
the protection of honest industry, and
dissemination of accurate Information
about the industry generally and the
various districts.
Part of the local plans are for the
erection of a building in which will be
placed a fine cabinet of ores sjid min
erals from all parts of the Northwest
and data descriptive of the various
mines and districts. To Portland and
the state at large the Stopers of the
World hope to be of great benefit in
the legitimate exploitation of mining
resources and the curbing of the oper
ations of "wildcatters," who use for
a basis the good mines of the country
to swindle people by the sale of worth
less stocks. This has shattered the
confidence of capital.
The officers of the head Stope are:
G. M. McDowell, general superintend
ent (first assistant to the president,
1-iadd Medals Company); J. c. Garret
son, general foreman (manager min
ing department N. W. Fairbanks Morse
Company); W. Cooper Morris, general
