Uon of Mayor elm on as aa Independent
candidate.
The petitions are noteworthy because
of the character of the men signing
them. &Bn the petitions as closely
as one may. anil the signature of the
parasites t t Infest the North End
and other direputable quarter of th
rlty are conspicuous by their absence.
On the other hand, an Inspection of the
signers d's?loea a most representative
list of homeowners, particularly In the
suburban districts: business men i
siding on both aide of the river and
men of affairs generally with a liberal
sprinkling of laboring men whose con
cern for a sane, business administra
tion of the city' affairs surpasses their
allegiance to any scheme for deliver
Ing tliem and their aupport to the can
dldacy of any one man without tbelr
consent.
Campaign to Be Aggressive.
Mr. Reed expect tomorrow or aoon
afterward "to announce the names of
the committee of 100 or 150 cltlxens
who will direct the campaign in behalf
of Mayor Simon's candidacy. The cam
paign In aupport of Mayor Simon will
open In thorough earnest Monday. De
lls of the prospective committee
plan are not ready for announcement
but the campaign will be a thoroughly
aggressive one, th. one objective fea
ture of which will be to get out the
fullest possible vote.
The success of the movement requires
that every cltlxen who tan "I for good.
clean government, law enforcement and
business administration ahall go to
the polls and register hi choice for

la this class of voter on whom the
success or the movement to re-elect

Water JurMkn Important.
Tr.ere Is one other project of equal
and perhaps eer greater moment to tne
rop of trtis ei;y that has been
sraried and Is well under way. but not
et rompieted. and that ts supplying
tvie peop'e of trie outlying districts

Irro tie S'Mith r'ortland and Southeast

territories, have so fur progressed tnat
I can see the eariy fruition of my hope
in respevt to these project.
The remarkable growth of Portland
thiricg th past few year la a subject
of pride and congratulation, and la a
forerunner of more substantial growth
and greater development In the future.
The city Is now the leading city of the
lc!f!c Northwest and Is destined to

Tve f.llrg et Mayor Slmna'a nomi
nating petition waa accompanied by the
"Simon" the man."
Thl was the universal Indorsement
of Portland clttaen Interviewed yester
day as to Mayor Simon's candidacy as
the Independent-Commission Govern
ment candidate In opposition to A. G.
Rushlight for Mayor. The following
nthusiastto Indorsements of Mayor Si
mon's candidacy for re-elcctlon were
volunteered:
J. G. Mack I usually support regu
larly nominated Republican candidate
In city elections. Tl.li time necessity
as arisen for an Independent candl-
at. While there may be other men
equally capable of serving the people
of Portland as Mayor. Mr. Simon ap
pear to be the only on available at
this time. He should be elected.
J. IL Tage The citizens of Portland
hould re-elect Mayor Simon, and I
think they will.
C. K. Zllley When I learned that
Mayor Simon might be Induced to be
come an Independent candidate for
Mayor. I lost no time signing one of
Ms petitions. He surely should be re
elected. W. H. Mt Monies Mayor Simon Is the
only man before the people who should
be elected Mayor. We know him to be
a safe man. Under the circumstances
and the condition confronting the city,
be la the logical man for Mayor.
J. D. Abbott lir re-electing Mayor
Simon, the people of Portland will not
be taking any chances.
Phil Metschsn Apparently th peo
ple of Portland are alive to the situa
tion, and for that reason favor the re
election of Mayor Simon.
Rev. C. E. CI tne Mayor Simon has
made the best Mayor the City of Port
land has bad during a.y long residence
here. 1 believe he Is a square man and
a man of affair. It I such a man that
Is needed for Mayor.
R S. Pague I am thoroughly In ac
cord with Mayor Simon and his policies.
There la no question of his ability to
cope with every municrpal question and
give to the city a strictly square, hon
orable and business-like administra
tion. J. A. Clemenson I believe Mayor Si
mon has given the City of Portland a
thoroughly faithful and honest adminis
tration, lie la O. K.. and Is to be in
trusted with the further management
of city affairs.
II- D. Kilham I regard Mayor Simon
as the best representative of the busi
ness Interests there Is before the peo
ple today. The office of Mayor of Port
land I a big Job. and It takes a big man
to till It- Unquestionably. Mayor Simon
Is th man best fitted for the place, and
hould be re-elected.
L Lang I have served under Mayor
Simon as Park Commissioner for two
year, and have had an opportunity to
observe his business qualifications at
close rang.
In handling tbe affairs of this elty,
be has endesrored to exerclss the same
economical management as he would In
his private business. It Is an Impossi
bility for aim or any other Mayor to
pb'ase all the peopie. There are many
different factions In this city, and each
doubtless thinks that the Mayor should
administer the affairs of the city la ac
cordance with its views.
Mayor Simon has bren criticised for
things that are beyona hi control. He
has worked under an obsolete charter,
which is Isrgely to blame for some of
these crttlclslme. No Mayor that Port
land has ever had has accomplished so
much for our city a has Mayor Simon.
Critlcisim have been aimed at the
engineering department, but let us look
at the street work that has been done
under the Simon administration, and
the other work bandied by the En
gineering Department, with the chief
engineer drawing a salary of but l.'OO
a month. No city In thl country, doing
th amount of work that Portland ha
don In the past few year. Is paying a
city engineer so sma.I a salary.
I believe the Engineering Department
can be Improved If the charter permit
ted the employment of higher-salaried
men. but 1 think It would be difficult
to find a man who will satisfy the peo
ple st a salary of 1200 a montn. I hay
observed street work In many of the
large Eastern cities, and I will say that
much of th work done In our city Is of
a better Fy ie tl sn that don in many
Eastern municipalities.
It Is easy to criticise public officials.
but It must not be overlooked that they
are expected to govern our city along
the line laid down by our city charter.

The extra business it will
bring to your store will

pay for the FIRST COST in a few
months' time. Hot days may kill your
horse. Wet and icy days may break its
leg. Bad weather of any kind will de
lay your horse-wagon delivery so that
you CANNOT give the kind of service
YOUR CUSTOMERS SHOULD RE
CEIVE. But hot days or icy days make NO
difference to steel and wood. All days
are alike to an - automobile. In bad
weather one automobile delivery wagon
will do the work of five or more horse,
drawn wagons. In the best weather
one automobile delivery wagon will do
the work of three horses. This means
three less horses and two less men. All
labor is the biggest expense nowadays.
In rush days when you must cover
extra territory and make late deliveries
your automobile will never know when
supper times comes. And when you
ARE through there are no chores to at
tend to; no horse to put out; no feed
ing; no bother; just run your delivery
wagon under cover and lock the door.
The mere fact that you have an auto
mobile delivery wagon will mean more
advertising for you than you can ever
figure out, and this is entirely outside
of the fact that'you can give prompter
service in the way of quicker deliveries,
and surer deliveries, regardless of
weather.
Sunday morning there are no tired
horses that must rest all day, but a con
vertible automobile delivery wagon, the
sides of which take off in two seconds,
aa extra rear seat is put on in three
seconds, and you and your family can
ride from sunrise to sunset at no ex
pense (save the little gasoline you use),
because the extra service and saving the
automobile gives yon IN YOUR BUSI

"I can see the danger the mischief
in the recall, where SS per cent of the

for a new election, but in the case of
Tacoma I believe another recall Is far
from imminent. A smooth-working Coun
cil without any friends to reward or
enemies to punish will satisfy the aver
age citizen. For a long time I believe
the people will frown upon the sugges

a successful administration If the com
missioners are endowed with even a little
tact, and I think they are.

after the Tacoma model, could profit by
her experience.

Democrat Wins Applause at Rcpub'

Determined Is the opposition of i
large number, of Republicans In the
Sixth Ward against the re-election of
Henry A. Belding as Councilman from
that ward. At a meeting of th Sixth
Ward Campaign Club, which has
membership of about J00 Republicans,
Friday night, John Montag. Democrat,
who has been indorsed by this club for
election against Belding,' was present
and la the announcement of his plat'
form elicited much applause. Mr. Mon
tag assured his supporters that If he
were elected to tbe Council h would
pledge himself to the following prin
ciples:
"A clean and honest administration
of the city's business; free access of
the people to the Council Chamber at
all meetings: no street vacations for
private interests without an equiva
lent; no franchises without proper re
strictions of forfeiture and limitations;
building a bridge across the Willam
ette in South Portland; competition in
all paving contracts and full value for
money expended; the general upbuild
ing of the city in a legitimate manner;
commission form of government; faith
fully and fearlessly to carry out the
wishes of the taxpayers of the Sixth
Ward and the best interests of the
whole city and the elimination of
graft-"
Mr., Montag has been a manufacturer
in this city for many years and is fa
vorably and well known.
REOPEXIXG OP BOOKS ASKCD
Demand for Another Opportunity to
Register Is General.
The demand that the registration
books be re-opened for the accommoda
tion of unregistered electors Is gen
eral. Suggestion of such an arrange
ment, published in The Oregonlan yes
terday, received the Indorsement of
supporters of each of the three candi
dates of Msyor.
it is a recognized fact that hundreds
of voters In the city will be able to
vote In tha June election only by
swearing their votes in, unless an op
portunity to register or to change reg.
Istratlon already made la provided. It
is a great Inconvenience for an elector
to swear In his vote since it entails
sacurins; six freeholders to make the
necessary affidavit as to his qualifica
tions. It has been decided to submit to the
City Council at its meeting Wednes
day the question of re-opening the reg
istration books. It is believed the gen
eral demand on the part of citizens
