SAMPLE BALLOT IS SHOWN "Unless One Faron Any Measure Which Is on the Ballot One Should Vote No, as Failure to Vote Operates Saino a Yea. The preferential votinj system to be csed In the city election tomorrow pro vides for voting- three choices for the office of Mayor and three choices for each of the two offices of City Commli Sloner to be filled at the election. The voter may vote three choices for Mayor, but each choice must be for a ' different candidate. The voter may vote a first choice for one candidate by placing an X in the column headed "First Choice" opposite the favored candidate's name. He may srive a second choice to a different can dldate (but not to the same candidate) by marking an X In the second-choice column after the second favorite for the place. The same Is true of third choice. there being a third choice column. Correct Way of Voting. - The following shows' the correct of voting three choices for Mayor: Mayor, One to Be Elected.

In no case may any voter give more than one choice, either first, second or third, to any one candidate. If this Is done only the vote highest in rank Is counted.

Xn counting the votes the first choice vote Is counted as the total vote cast. For Mayor If one candidate receives majority of first-choice votes he Is elected. If none gets a majority of first-choice, second-choice votes are added to first-choice, and if then no candidate has a majority, third-choice are added to the first and second, and the man with the highest number of votes wins. The count Is the same with Commls sloner except that there are two to elect and therefore each candidate must get a majority of one-half ther total first-choice vote. In voting for measures it is essential that all voters vote one way or another. Failure to vote Is equivalent to voting "Yes" on the measure, inasmuch as there must be more "So" votes against a measure than there are "Yes" votes or the measure is passed regardless of the actual number of votes cast. Meat ures to be passed require only a greater "Yes vote than a TJo vote. There fore the necessity of voting "No' against unfavored measures In order to ' kill them Is Been.

CONTROL OF STREETS ISSUE City Would Be Deprived of All Right to Pass Ordinances Re stricting: Traffic Other Than That on Car Zdnes. - "Ko such principle - of government has ever been adopted In any city," is the warning issued by the Portland Railway, Tight Sc. Power Company to its patrons and voters generally, in an appeal to vote against, the "Free Use of Streets'" amendment. -The company declares that it has never asked that the operation of Jit neys In Portland be prohibited, but that all It does ask is that -the Jit neys be held subject to regulations and restrictions comparable with those exacted from the street car company. The appeal calls attention to the fact that Jitneys compete for only the short- haul business, and that the company is operating many of its long lines either without profit or at an actual loss, and that if the Jitney competi tion is not mads subject to regulation the whole street railway system will be financially Imperiled. , The letter calls attention to the fact that if the proposed amendment is adopted it will deprive the people and PRESIDEST OF EMERSON SCHOOL OF ORATORY - TO SPEAK HEBE THURSDAY. IWW . P.P. I'l". "3 if- V,' 4- , Dr. Henry Lawrence So nth wick. Dr. Henry Lawrence Southwlck, president of the Emerson School of Oratory, of Boston, will bs in Portland this week, and on June 7 will appear under the auspices of the Portland Shakespeare Club In an invitational recital at the new clubhouse, EaBt Tenth and Weldler streets. A number of the most prominent society rrten and women will be patrons and pat ronesses for the everft. Dr.' Southwlck has been here on pre vious occasions, and has many admirers among the artistic set here. His reputation as a dra matic Interpreter and his splen did personality make him a most. Interesting man and artist. . . His rendition of Sheridan's de llghtful play. "The Rivals," which will be his local programme. Is considered one of the best of his offerings. the City Council of all right to reg ulate the use of streets of the city for any business other than ths oper ation of streetcars. The letter follows: We address yon as a resident of Portland ana a patron of ths service of this com panr. Street railways., in all American cities operate on the Oasis of a single far regardless of the distance a paasancer is transported. In Portland there are more than 30 distinct railway lines, all connected, however, by a transfer system. By reason of the lensth of haul more than two-thirds of thee Unss are so expensive to operate that they furnish no net return and quite a few of them operate at a very material loss. In any system of street railway trans portation the ions and unprofitable lines of railway can be maintained and sup ported only by the better earnings of tbe shorter lines running through the more populous sections of the city, and If the shorter lines of street railway are unable to support themselves and also the Ions un profitable lines, the system, as a whole, must fall. That condition Is now facing us. Jitneys in Portland compete with the street railway only for the short-haul busi ness. No competition Is offered on the long haul, unprofitable business. Jitneys In Port land are operating without any regulation worthy of the name, and, to prevent any possible future regulation, the Jitney Inter eats have caused to be placed upon the bal lto to be voted on- next Monday a measure known as the "Free use of streets amend ment to the city charter." The purpose of this amendment Is to amend ths charter so that neither the Council nor the people, by ordinances, may Impose any regulations upon Jitney transportation. The amendment goes further in that it would deprive the Council of the power to regulate the use of streets for any business other than the operation of streetcars. No such ' principle of gov ernment has ever been adopted In any city. We have never asked that the operation of Jitneys in Portland be prohibited. We do ask that the operation of Jitneys be regu lated In a manner, aa to the regulations of service, responsibility and compensation to the city comparable to the regulations and burdens Imposed upon street railways. In other words that the competition be placed on a fair and equitable basis. The adoption of the free use of streets amendment would absolutely prevent such or any rgulatlon of the Jitneys. As one Interested in the welfare of Port land and in tbe maintenance of good trans portation service, as well as in the prin ciples of the square deal, ws urge you to vote against the adoption of this free use of streets amendment. To do so yon should mark your ballot 107 X No. Very truly POFfxANT RAILWAY. LIGHT A POWER COMPANY. MINISTERS HEAR REPORT PRESIDENT OV WILL, AM ETTE TJAI. VERSITY VISITS PRISON. '-ejjeisujnsjej "Prisoners KSaslIy Could Be Snffoeated In Cells Sanitary Conditions Bad," Says Dr. Doney. In a report recently mads to the Methodist Ministers' Association, of this city, Carl G. Doney, president of Willamette University, describes condi tions now prevailing in the Oregon State Penitentiary, which he was com missioned to visit. Dr. Doney found the ventilation poor, and reports: "We were informed that the upper tier of cells become extremely warm In Summer, and- that the foul air Is almost overpowering to the guards who watch during the night. We entered: cells which had been va cated seven hours and found the air stale, fetid and nasty. "In many cases two men occupy a cell. -They are locked. in from 6 to 7 o clock in the evening until 6 to 7 o'clock in the morning, the two men having but little more than 300 cubio feet of space in the room they occupy for 12 hours." - - Concerning the system of locking the cells Dr. Doney comments: "Prisoners could hardly be burned to death In. the cells, but .they could be suffocated. I do not know how . long would be re quired to unlock the individual pad locks attached to the cells. At .the present time there are 400 men and four women - prisoners. A considerable number of- men are not fully employed. It Is my Judgment that if the material he provided the prison ers themselves could build a proper toilet, good bath house. . a "sanitary bakery, kitchen, laundry, etc The great problem is presented by the cells. It would seem to me that they cannot be made decent and sanitary, and that a different' tyP of construction is needful. Deserter Returns to Army. CENTRALIA, Wash.. June 2. (Spe cial.)
