This meek will witness the opening of the -campaign which Is scheduled to en1 June 2, when the first election of officers under the commission charter will take place. H. R. Albee and A. G. Rushlight, candidates for Mayor, will begin actively to work for the election as bead of the Commission. The com mittee of 100 citizens will meet Wed nesday night. Ralph K. Dunlwajr will file a suit to test the validity of the Dew charter, and the registration books will be open from 8 A. M. Monday until I P. M. Saturday, so that those who C!d not do so before may take the nec essary step toward casting their bal lot. All candidates for Mayor. Com missioner or Auditor must file by . E -('. M. tomorrow. The goal toward which all of the candidates are looking Is their elec tion as members of the first Commis sion to have complete charge of the affairs of Portland. A Mayor, four Commissioners and an Auditor are the officers to be elected. The Mayor's salary will be 16000 a year; the salary of each Commissioner will be $5000 a year and the Auditor not less than (3600. Maay Relieved In fit. In view of the crisis brought about by the adoption of the commission charter, which has resulted In a rush of candidates, many of whom are be lieved to be unfit for the positions of vast responsibility, a citizens' commit te consisting of 100 men and women, representing every phase of the city's life, has been organised. To this com mittee the people are loo-king for light on the candidates and possibly indorse ment or recommendation' of certain of the candidates who have or will file. Alleging that the new charter Is not a charter at all. In tiiat it does not de fine the duties of the Mayor or Com missioners or the work of the five de partments called for. Ralph R. Duni way. a Portland lawyer, will file suit In the State Circuit Court for Multno mab County some time this week. thereby forcing a contest as to the legality of the document which was adopted May 3. Thlt suit may or may not prove to be Important. Should Mr. Dunlway's contention prove correct and should the courts hold that the charter Is de fective and void. It probably would make necessary the placing of the names of the candidates nominated May I under the present form of charter On the ballot for the election of June S. Unless this were done, it Is said. the present city officials would hold over until some sort of an election were held. In case the Dunlway con tention Is Incorrect. It amounts to noth !ng and the election for oiflcers under the new form will proceed la the reg ular way. Reglatratloa Book to Opea. On action by the City Council. Coun ty Clerk Coffey will open the regis tration books at 8 o clock tomorrow morning and they will remain open until 8 P. M. every day this week. This will give opportunity for many citizens. chiefly women, to take the step neces sary to the casting of their ballots In the election Of June 2. It Is believed that a large number will take advan tage of this and that the registration roll will be considerably larger than at present. There are In round numbers 73.000 registered voters at present. The campaign of the candidates will be interesting this time, inasmuch as the adoption of the new charter cre ates a unique situation, unprecedented In the history of the city. How so many will carry on their efforts to get a p'.ace on the first Commission Is causing much speculation. The gen eral impression is that each candidate Is going to advise his or her friends to "single shot" the election for them, re fusing to cast a second or third choice f&r any office, although the preferen tial voting system under which the election will be held Is based on the rrinciple of giving each voter three choices for each office. JUYOU TO BEG IX WITH WHIRL Campaign Manager Says Many Vol unteers Offer Help. "The campaign to make Mr. Rush light the first commission Mayor of the city will begin with a whirl Monday morning." said Mr. McCerd. his mana ger, yesterday. "It will be conducted by his admirers from every walk of life, hundreds of whom have written tr called to offer their services to the Mayor. "Since Mr. Rushlight received the handsome Indorsement of nearly 18.000 of his fellow-citizens last Saturday, be has been besieged by offers of support from those who opposed him at the primary election. Many of these people now believe that he Is the only logical .man to head the new commission form, as he fathered the system and made a study of all its features before allow ing it to be submitted to the voters. "The campaign will be one of educa tion. All that is necessary is to let the people know fully what Rushlight stands fcr. what he has accomplished for the city, what his motives are. and above all why he cannot be used by any Interest or Individual to the detri ment of the whole people. "In the primary campaign Mayor Bushltgbt had a voluntary committee of 100. which pretty well covered the city. From the offers of support that have crme In it Is probable that the committee will be enlarged to 500. Our headquarters will be open from now on until the eight of election, and I want every citizen to feel that there Is a welcome at these quarters." AUTO RUNS T0CL0VERDALE. Mail and Passengers Carried From Tillamook. CLOVERDALE. Or, May 10. (Spe cial.) The new automobile stage ar rived here Tuesday night at 8 o'clock on Its first trip from Tillamook. - Cloverdale Is located 25 miles south of Tillamook and heretofore the horse stage arrived about 11 P. M. This gives Cloverdale and points between here and Tillamook a better mail and pas senger service, mall- matter arriving here the same day as dispatched from Portland. The machine used has seats for 10 passengers besides the driver In ad .ditlon to space for the malls and (freight O much Interest has been manifest ed In the plays and playlets sub mitted In competition for the prize offered by the State Woman's Press Club that special meetings have been held every week and sometimes twice a week during the -last month, to hear the reading of the manuscripts. It was planned, originally, to select for judges In the contest non-members of the club but when the crucial moment arrived the modesty of the budding playwrights forbade and an appeal was made to one or tre popular members or tne club, Miss Elinor Baldwin, to act as censor and judge. Miss Baldwin pronounced eacn of the plays and playlets submit ted well worthy of copyrighting, and urged that the proposed production of one or more of the plays be under pro fessional rather than amateur manage ment. One element was lacking In the con test, that of petty jealousy or hard feeling, as every one was satisfied with the awards, even the contestants them selves. The prize of 15 for the best play was awarded to Mrs. Nathan Harris, 777 Johnson street, who Is experiencing a demand for her product. One of her playlets, "The American Cousin," will be presented May 2. at Lincoln High School, under the auspices of the Mon day Musical Club, and some of her work has been highly commended by Eastern critics. In the second class "SPEC!I1LS"T0L0DUTIES LAWS TO GOVERX PDESTIUAXS MAY BE EXACTED. Xewly Appointed Traffic Officers . Get Instruction From Chief of Police" and City Attorney. Practically all of the members of the Automobile Club appointed as special trafflo officers as the result of the activity of H. P. Coffin and his com mittee of Public Safety assembled yes terday coon at hte Commercial club to hear addresses from Chief Slover, City Attorney Grant and others as to the best means by which they could most efficiently carry out their new duties. One of the most Important an nouncements was that made by Mr. Grant when he expressed his Intention of securing an amendment to 'traffic laws so that they were equally appll cable to pedestrians. After Mr. Coffin had outlined tne steps taken, and Judge Tazwell had shown his commendation of the plan by promising to deal severely with of fenders who were found guilty, Mr, Grant outlined the duties and diffic ulties of the position. 'First be thoroughly acquainted with all the traffic rules, and then remember to secure all the corroborative evidence that you can; It will be needed. Mr. Sullivan had been Instructed by me to insist, wherever In his judgment ad visable, on a jail sentence, (applause) for I do not think it any more right. any less criminal: to allow a drunken man at the wheel of a car than a drunken driver at the throttle of a railroad engine." After telling, of the need for' an amendment In the law so as to force motorcycle riders to have their number tags placed In such a way as to be readable, and suggesting the reduction of the minimum fine for simple infrac tions of the law to $2. Mr. Grant met with great approval when he declared that he would attempt to get the ordi nance amended to apply equally to pedestrians.

Chief Slover then gave the new officers some advice, which included warning to them "nt to get excited. or to get "a swelled head,' to play no favorites and to exercise common horse sense." The officers will be sworn In next Tuseday after their bonds have been accepted at he regular Council meeting tomorrow. -- Frank B.

Mr. Grant's answer was a decided affirmative. In this connection Chief Elover offered them a warning as to their own conduct by saying "Many people have already told me mat you are anxious to become special omcers simpiy to eiuae tne law yourselves. You are being judged before you have commenced operations, so see to It that your own conduct is I always Irreproachable.'

FAIR DEALING ADVOCATED Aspirant for Mayoralty Points to Present Position With Higher Salary as Indication of Fit ness for High Office. Speaking at a meeting of the Twelve o'clock Club In the auditorium of the Journal building yesterday, H. R. Albee, candidate for Mayor, answering ques tions, declared that he believed in mu nicipal ownership of certain public utilities, not for revenge or pique be cause they were public utilities or were controlled now by corporations, but be cause he did not think the people have been or are being fairly treated by these companies. . Mr. Albee said that he did not Intend, if elected Mayor, to base any of his acts upon pique, prejudice or passion, but upon fair play, bom to tne people ana to the corporations. In fact, he said, the only promise he will make during the campaign is that if elected, ne win a-lve every man and woman In the city a hearing on every question Deiore de ciding it Public Ownership Favored, "I am in favor of public ownership of some of the utilities or all of them, in fact if necessary to the public good," said Mr. Albee, when asked the direct question as rfo how he stands on this question. "For example," he continued, "I believe that the city could furnish gas to the people at a reasonable rate and give good service. I would not F. J. Gottrell Real Estate.

Just because a corporation Is a corpora. tion, is not my way of doing things; will treat the individual and the corpor ation fairly, if elected Mayor. Mr. Albee was asked If he believed that a candidate's own words should guide the voters or, if he had a public record, should that govern 7 He re plied that the voters should be exceed lngly careful about judging a man by his public record, unless they are in possession of all of the facts leading up to his action on bills. Referring to his own action on a bill to terminate the franchise of the Portland Gas Company, some years ago, when he was a member of the Legislature, Mr. Albee said he had the advice of a large number of lawyers, who were In no wise biased, that the bill was faulty and, if passed, would accomplish nothing. He said he was a member of one of the big com mittees and had so much work to do that he did not care to waste time on a bill like that Fair Return Urged. Mr. Albee said that he believed In regulation of public utility concerns. not on any basis of prejudice, but as a pure matter of business, and said he would be guided in this as in all other affairs by fair methods of business, I would regulate these concerns on the basis that they derive the right to exist by public sufferance," said Mr. Albee, "and would be actuated by the fact that the public should have In re turn fair service at reasonable rates To my mind, it is easy to get at the facts in these matters. I would simply ascertain their outlay, their expense of operation, etc., and their Income and regulate rates and service on a fair rate of return for the investment That Is fair and .that Is the only method by which such things may be determined in all fairness to the public and to the corporation.
