traw votes taken last week' indi-
cate the closeness of the race, for lead-
ig honors between-George I Baker
and "Will H. Daly In the campaign for
Mayor of Portland. '
In a straw vote taken in the Teon
building yesterday, 115 voters, asked
to express their preference for Mayor,
voted as follows:
Baker 65, Daly 61, Wheeler , Jos
selyn 3. The names of the other two
candidates for Mayor, A. O. Rushlight
and Will H. Warren, were not on the
ballot.
A straw vote Thursday night at
Women of Woodcraft Hall. Montavilla,
showed the following -results:
Baker 33. Daly 16, Rushlight. 5,
Wheeler 2 and Joselyn-1.
- Absolute dependence ;. Is not to .be
; placed on any" straw vote? of course.
But friends of Mr. Baker declare these
straw -votes to be significant in em
phasizing their belief that; the race is
i 'between Mr. Baker and Mr., uaiy.
y : ' E. N. Wheeler, candidate for Mayor
of Portland, In a speech before a meet
lng of the Wheeler - Booster Club in
I ' Montavilla Friday night, said in part:
i - "I wish to make it plain that, I stand
!' .for the use of Oregon's Improvements
and labor .in the construction of our
'. ,- private and publio buildings and for.
the upbuilding of our commercial and
j . industrial enterprises, with all possible
encouragement to manufacturers now
here, and others that might be- secured
' by pfoper efforts, which would natur
ally result In an increased payroll.
This will best solve the condition
7 which has been existing here for the
i : past two of- three years. .1 am in
n Xavor of putting' forth every possible
effort towards bringing about a re
V dtiction In prices of food products.
-; While this is a National condition. It
" ' can no doubt be remedied to some' ex
tent by co-operation of our local peo
: . . ,jle with tha city officials."
"Capital should be encouraged to
L eome here to . invest, and ff Portland
is to advance and become aJ prosper
ous as it deserves to be, then capital
must not be discouraged," said George
" 1. Baker, candidate for Mayor! at a
luncheon yesterday.. .
."Portland cannot be built up by a
tearing-dawn process. Without the In
vestment -of capital there will be no
'' extension of the payrolls.
. "Good conditions for labor and a llv
; lng wage I have always advocated, be
i lieving that the employe and the em
t ployer are both best served when good
working conditions prevail and the
compensation is Just and . the hours
' xlght. -
j- "I have been identified with organ
, lzed labor, carrying a union card, and
have employed union men. The re-
. sponsible, thinking workingmen have
i always been-my friends. But with the
; radical element I have never been in
sympathy, for they are extreme in
their views and demands.
"There Is a wide difference between
' the thoughtful workingman who
strives to better himself, and the labor
' agitator, whose sole object In life is to
create strife, strikes and violence, be
cause it is to his self interest.
"The labor agitator would be less
'. active if, when he caused trouble, he
.- had to accept strike benefits the same
as the workmen who are called out,
- . instead of drawing his big salary.
- When the workman called on strike
. has to sacrifice his $3, S4, (5 or $8 a
day to take ?10 a week strike benefits,
. the agitator should be placed on the
. same basis.
. "If the agitator's pay is cut likewise
; to the flO a-week strike benefit, the
clanger of strikes would be largely
eliminated.
, "The recent shipbuilding: strike in
Portland is an illustration of the labor
.;. agitator. Hundreds of men employed
' Ob the shipyards were content and did
;'".. not want to strike, but were forced to
"- tic- bo through fear of the unions. A
; : flock of international officers swarmed
- auto Portland and forced a strike, irre
spective of the wishes of the Portland
; workingmen.
"I know this to be a fact, for scores
: of workmen told me so and explained
that they were being- intimidated into
answering the strike call. These inter-
.. national officers, who bad no .interest
t In Portland,, staged this strike to make
campaign material for their own re
- election. I brought the contending
lorces together as an intermediary
otherwise the shipbuilding; in Portland
' would have stopped
. "I have never assumed the post of
I being a candidate of labor, but my
- thousands of friends in the ranks of
i labor-realize that I have always en-
deavored to give them a square deal.
J" In the same manner I have endeavored
to be just to the employer."
Mr. Baker also reviewed briefly his
... earlier-speeches dealing with his policy,
if elected Mayor, of not handicapping
v himself by taking personal supervision
of the Police Bureau. Fire Bureau, or
, any other bureau or department. He
2- said he would leave these details to
' fc- the Commissioners, and would devote
J.: himself to managing the affairs of the
city as a whole, as a general manager
. ir a Dig corporation would do.
There was considerable "talk vester
day to the effect that an effort is to
fc i) made to have the status of the can-
dldacy of B. S. Josselyn taken before
the courts. - The gossip was based on
Circuit Judge Tucker's decision bar-
.ring O. Laurgaard from the ballot as a
" . 5 candidate for Commissioner because
- he voted in Laldlaw. Or., less than three
- Tears before becoming a candidate.
. While it is not charged that Mr. Jos
- nelyn voted elsewhere, his absence
from the city for a considerable period
- prior 10 me past year, it was said
-would be called to the attention of the
cuurt.
r When George L. Baker heard last
:.; nigni or tne possibility of such action,
. He declared it -should not be taken.
' "I would deplore it very much If such
i action were taken," said Mr. Baker.
sincerely hope that those who are plan
v nlng the step will reconsider. The only
possiDie purpose would be to annov Mr.
4 Josselyn and give the Impression that
he is not eligible, and the courts would
r. undoubtedly rule In his favor. 1 nrefe
to let the people at the polls decide who
; ehall be Mayor,- not the courts."

Highway Commission. 1
LOCAL BENEFIT IS SHOWN
Hard-Surfacing of Pacific Highway
to Leave Annual Appropriation
for Laterals and Will Save
Maintenance Cost.
LOGAN, Or., May 19. (Special.)
The announcement of a declaration of
policy by. the State Highway Commis
sion, through members of the good
roads committee of' the Oregon City
Commercial Club, here last night has
unquestionably shaken the opinions of
many Clackamas County voters who
have been 1 opposed to the f 6,000,000
road bond measure up to this time; -
Members of the committee, who have
been dubbed locally as "the 12 disciples
of road efficiency," are making a very
active campaign for the bonding bill
In every section of Clackamas County
and during this week have used - ef
fectively a statement purporting to be
signed by Chairman S. Benson and E. J.
Adams, of the Highway Commission,
which sets at rest many of the doubts
that have been in tha minds of Ore
gon farmers during- the campaign.
Lbeal Viewpoint' Given.
C Schuebel and Wallace B. Caufleld
appeared here last night, and during
his address , Mr. Schuebel read the
commission's' statement, and made a
strong argument for the bllL He han
dled the proposition from a local point
of view, and explained that 20 miles
of pavement -would be constructed over
the Pacific Highway in Clackamas
County from the southern border of
Multnomah to the northern border of
Marion, and that almost the entire
southeastern section of the county
could reach the main artery of traffic
by traveling from three to five miles.
and that the county would have thou
sands of dollars each year, now being
expended in maintaining the north and
south road, to use on laterals.
Mr. Schuebel also pointed out that
the other north and south roads would
have much less of a traffic burden to
bear, if a hard surfaced road were con
structed, and therefore the maintenance
cost of the macadam roads would be
materially lessened. He read the fol
lowing statement as coming from 'the
Highway Commission:
No Royalties to Be Paid.
The commission will not pay one cent for
any kind of pavement over -and above Its
actual worth on the (round. - If anything Is
atiemptea to De aadea to tnis. whether
royalty, unreasonable profit or otherwise.
tde commission will not allow or pay It.
To Insure rood, honest construction work

not for so Ions a term as to Jeopardize free

State money must not and 'y 11 'not be

Dana.
Before opening- bids or letting contracts.
the state highway ens-lneer must make and
iurntsu the commission with careful esti
mates -of the actual amount It would cost
the state to do the work upon any project
on Its own account, and If the bids exceed
this amount, then the commission will re
ject all bids and do the work on state ac
count, quality, quantity and cost must
control. .
Convict Labor Slay Be Used.
We favor the use' of convict labor in the
preparation or crushed rock and other ma
ferial, as well as aotual road work, wher
ever tne same can De used to advantage.
Wherever money can be saved, we favor

In determining the value and cost of a

These factors apportioned will rive rti
