BT FRANK S. GRANT. CITY ATTORNEY.
In the coming city election the legal
voters will exercise for the first time
In this state, the preferential system of
voting. The charter provides that an
elector shall have the right of exercis
ing a preference of candidates. That
Is, he may indicate his first, second
and third choices. The voter is limited
to one choice for any candidate. Should
he vote more than one choice for any
candidate, the vote highest in grade
-shall be counted and the others re
jected. The candidate receiving; a majority
of first-choice votes for any office
shall be elected. If. however, the full
number of candidates to be elected
does not receive a majority of first
choice votes, then, the second-choice
votes are added to the first-choice
votes and any candidate who. by reason
of such addition, receives a majority
vote shall be elected. If. however, by
a count of their first choice or of first
and second choices, no majority is re
ceived, then the third-choice votes are
added to the first and second and the
candidate receiving the majority will
be declared elected.
If by the count of either first-choice -
votes or of first and secona-onoice
votes, more candidates than there are
offices to be filled, receive a majority,
the candidate or candidates equal In
number to the number of ofifces to
be filled having- the highest vote shall
.be declared elected.
Tie Fsivors First Choice.
In case of a tie. it is decided In
favor of the one having the highest
number of first-choice votes. If they
should be equal In this respect, then
the highest number of second-choice
votes will determine the election. Then.
If this should not be decisive, the choice
shall be determined by lot.
The act defines the word "majority"
to mean the smallest number jn excess
of one-half of the quotient obtained by
dividing the total number of first
choice votes for any office by the
number of officers to be elected thereto.
"Each voter has a right to vote for as
many first-choice candidates as there
are offices to be filled, and has the
further right to vote for as many sec
ond and thlrd-cboice candidates as
there are offices to be filled and In
order that the voter should have the
full participation In the election, he
should exercise his first, second and
third choices.
In the city of Spokane a total vote
of 12.06S was cast. One candidate for
Commissioner received a majority of
the first-choice votes. The other four
candidates were elected by adding first,
second and third-choice votes. Such
vote was ss follows:

was expressing his preference by rea

sition on the ballot
Voters Are Instructed.
Under the Portland Chsrter. if sny
voter shall vote for more than one
rliAini for any one candidate.
the highest grade vote shall be
counted and the others rejected. In
other words, a voter must not make
more than one choice for any one can
didate. If he does, then the highest in
grade will be counted and the others
rejected. To illustrate, a voter makes
a mark in the first, second and third
choice columns for one candidate. In
that case only the first choice vote will
be counted.
If a ballot should contain either first.
second or third choice votes in excess
of the number of offices to be filled, no
vote In the column showing such excess
shall be counted. To Illustrate: There
are four Commissioners to be elected.
A voter can only mark the first choice
column for four Commissioners. If ne
should mark in such column five or six,
then all of the candidates in that col
umn would lose that vote. So it Is In
cumbent upon the voter to be very
careful in marking his ballot In this
respect.
The Spokane charter provides that a
voter must exercise his first choice
vote for all of the offices to be filled
and that if be does not do so, the bal
lot is void, but It Is optional with him.
however, to vote the second or third
choices.
Pertland Ckarter Differs.
The Portland Charter differs some
what In this respect and provides that
the voter shall have the right to vote
for as many first choice candidates .as
there are offices to be filled, but does
not seem to make it compulsory upon
him to cast the first choice vote for
four candidates for Commissioner.
The success of this system of voting
depends entirely upon whether or not
very person entitled to vote exercises
that privilege. No government rises
higher than Its source, namely, the peo
ple, and If the commission form of gov
ernment Is to he a success in the city
of Portland, it Is the solemn duty ol
every legal voter to participate in the
lection. June I. The success will not
be wholly dependent upon the officer!
elected, but rather upon the voters 'n
choosing men who are capable of ad
ministering the affairs of the city un
der the new form of government.
The following are the provisions of
the new commission charter relative to
the preferential system of voting:
Section 22a. Ballots, preparation and
tfrta: The Auditor shall cause ballots for

ODDFELLOWS OF MULTXOMAH
COUNTY HAVE JOINT MEET.
Delegates En Route to Sledford Ses
sion Attend Programme and See
Degree Work Interpreted.
With the idea of bringing the mem
bership of the Oddfellow lodges of
Portland and Multnomah. County into
more intimate touch, a joint meeting
was held at the Masonic Temple Friday
night, and was attended by about 1300
members, with visitors from many out
side towns who were on their way to
the grand lodge meeting at Medford,
May 20. A Joint committee, consisting
of representatives from local lodges,
had charge of the programme. Many
of the Multnomah, County lodges came
in a body.
The 'meeting was opened with the
officers of Hassalo Lodge No. 15 In the
chairs. The team from Woodlawn
Lodge No. 171 Interpreted the first
degree to 72 Initiates who bad come
from the different lodges. The second,
degree was conferred on 76 candidates
by the team from Hassalo Lodge No.
16. Both teams were generously com
plimented on their work.
Among the present and past grand
lodge officers were: W. A. Wheeler,
grand master; E. E. Sharon, grand sec
retary, of Portland; O. D. Doane, grand
treasurer, of The Dalles; D. S. Young,
grand guardian, of Newport; past grand
masters, William Morton, Phil Metschan,
Sr, W. A. Carter, Robert Andrews and
B. E. Crawsbaw, of Portland; R. Alex
ander, of Pendleton; Ed Hostetler, of
The Dalles; J. T. Apperson, of Oregon
City, and A. W. Bowersox, of Albany;
past grand patriarchs, P. W. Stewart, H.
M. Beckwlth and O. P. Miller, of Port
land; John M. Williams, of Eugene;
past grand representative, S. W. Stryker,
of Portland; grand sentinel, S. S.
Walker, of Oregon City, all of whom
occupied seats on the platform.
Past Grand Master W. O. Lynn was
chairman of the joint committee, which
made all the arrangements.
Rivalry Between Snips Keen and
Wager Made Against Arrival Be
fore 1 o'clock Is Paid on
Misunderstood Message.
Not since the Winter of 189S. when
the steamer Stats of California
established the old fleet's speed record
of 47 hours and 50 minutes and reached
Portland at 9:50 o'clock in the morning,
had any of the San Francisco & Port
land vessels reported here before noon
until the steamer Bear, "Bulldog" of
the line, gilded past the Portland
Flouring Mills Company's dock at 11:32
o'clock yesterday morning and thereby
a new mark was offered for her sister
ship, the Beaver. The Bear left Meiggs
wharf, San Francisco, at 1:31 P. M.
Thursday and crossed into the river
yesterday so as to discharge 50 tons of
cargo at Astoria and be on her way
here at 4:52 A. M.
On the last voyage of the Beaver
she covered the distance in 43 hours
and 58 minutes, and reached the flour
mills at 12:36 P. XL, so while she has
the northbound record for speed, the
Bear holds the broom for being here
earliest. Those who know the two
vessels aver that should they be
steamed over the same course, side by
side, there would be no difference in
their position. Between the officers and
crews the keenest rivalry exists, with
the Beaver holding first place between
San Francisco and Portland, also for
bringing north the largest cargo and
the Bear holding the speed record from
Portland to San Francisco in addition
to the honor gained yesterday.
Wager Furnishes Amusement.
Before the departure of the Beaver,
shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morn
ing for the south, a bet was made of
$5 that the Bear would not be at the
dock before 1 o'clock. It was not known
then that she had reached the river. A
message received later was that she
would arrive at 11:30 and this was
taken to mean that she had been de
layed on the Coast and would be across
the bar by then. So the bet was paid,
First Officer Parker, of the Beaver, ac.
ceptlng the $5 from Peter Smith, su
perintending stevedore for the com
pany.
Hardly had the Beaver got under way
for Astoria when news was flashed to
the company's office that the Bear had
left un at 4:62 o'clock. Officers of
the ship were unquestionably stag
e-ered when they rounded a bend In
the river at 10:10 o'clock, a few miles
below the mouth of the Willamette.
and discerned their rival steaming
ahead with a "bone in her teeth" that
spelled a record.
Aerogram Brings Cnagrln.
Aboard the Bear was A. Ottlnger,
general agent of the company, and he
added to the chagrin of the Beaver's
crew In sending an aerogram that the
early arrival record had been won. The
Bear brought ZSS passengers, among
them being intermingled students from
Stanford and Berkeley, returning horr-i
for the Summer holidays. On the way
they contributed to the gayety or the
voyage and as a table for each uni
versity was set aside in tne saioon,
there were "rah rah" sessions at each
meal
on the war fir)m the uoKien uate
a strong northwest wind was one of
the obstacles, also a mree-nnot cur
rent, while fog was contended with
for a few hours after she sailed. In
the Columbia the freshet carried a cur
rent that served to retard tne snip,
otherwise It Is estimated that she would
have been here at 11 o'clock.
STEAMSHIP LINE IS URGED
Captain Chllcott Explains Xeed of
Direct Service to New York.
A project declared of extreme im
portance to Portland is the organiza
tion of a steamship line between Port
land and New York. Plans of the pro
posed enterprise were explained In de
tail by Captain Richard Chllcott at the
regular weekly meeting of the Portland
Realty Board Friday.
Captain Chllcott said that It was pos
sible to build three ships at a combined
cost of $600,000 and that a fleet of five
large vessels could be built for approx
imately $1,000,000. It Is his opinion
that such, a lino of steamers would pay
substantial returns on the Investment.
He declared that until Portland oper
ated a domestio line of Its own, this
city could never expect to compete with
other Pacific Coast cities as a shipping
center. He pointed out how Portland
is being discriminated against by Opast
lines now in operation.
Following his address it was voted
to lnvestieate the project further. -A
committee of five members will be ap
pointed by President Vincent to confer
with Captain Chllcott and other or
ganizations in the city In regard to the

Government Charters Fleet for
Transportation of Coal.
In connection with the taking of a
fleet of 12 tramp steamers by the Fed
eral Government to load coal at Nor
folk for the Pacific Naval stations, it
Is denied that the fleet will have to do
with the transportation of explosives
to the Hawaiian group, Mare Island
and Bremerton. It Is said stocks of
coal are Insufficient to supply vessels
should the Pacific fleet be enlarged, bo
there will be heavy shipments this
season.
The nractice of using Atlantic Coast
coal may be done away with in the
event tests of Alaskan coal are up to
standard. As the cruiser Maryland Is

MORALITY REPORT MADE
WORK OF ATJXILIATtY TO rOIJCK
DESCRIBED.
Recommendation Made to Put Check
on Motorcyclists Held Responsi
ble for Numerous Crimes.
The Quarterly report of the Munici
pal Department of Public Safety for
Tountr Women, which has been sub
mitted to Chief Siover, contains facts
and figures well worth reading," said
Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, superintendent,
yesterday. "The definite aim and pur
pose of this worn is tne protection oi
girlhood and the prevention of crime
against women. It would be well for
parents to read this report thought
fully, and to inquire what measure of
responsibility rests upon them for the
conditions set forth.
"During the last quarter lbs new
a-irls were dealt with in this depart
ment. 170 special Investigations made
and 734 interviews held with parents
or others Interested in the cases of
girls; 316 letters sent out, 39 girls
placed on the after-care list and four
paroled; there were 13 runaways, and
27 sick girls were cared for. There
were 143 meals provided and 74 nighfs
lodgings furnished to unemployed or
needy girls.
"The report to tho Chief says that
Immorality between girls and motor
cycle riders has assumed alarming pro
portions. Within a weea six moior
cvrla counles have been apprehended
and the cases, which contain shocking
details, have been taken into court.
Something ought to e done. Automo
biles are bad, but motorcycles are in
finitely worse.
"Chief Siover is considering placing
officers at the bridges and in other
places to Intercept motorcycles which
carry young girls into the country at
nio-ht. Thev will be Questioned and re
quired to give their names to the of
ficer. This plan was xoiiowea wu
good success with automobiles and
broke up much of the night riding.
"The Department of Public Safety
feels that parents especially, as well
as the girls themselves. should be
warned, as motorcycle riding is rapidly
upon the increase. Three girls under
17 years of age have been ruined in
one day from this cause, and it is high
time that some action be taken."
