G0MW1ITTEE POST
Chicago Mayor Declines to
"Sacrifice Principles."
RE-ELECTION NOT WANTED
"So Part Desired In Auction of
Presidency," Declares ex
Xatlonal Committeeman.
CHICAGO. June 5. Mayor William
Hale Thompson of Chicago today la
sued a slprned statement in which he
declined to be a candidate for re
election as republican national com
mitteeman. Mayor Thompson's action
was taken, he said, because he "can
not and "will not accept election to an
office, the forceful administration of
which might make me a party to the
purchase of the high office of presi
dent of the United States."
Mayor Thompson, in his statement,
declared that at the Illinois primary
election "a vast majority of those vot
ing In Chicago had expressed their
demand that the United States get out
of Europe and stay out, their opposi
tion to the league of nations . . ."
and that "although a majority of the
Illinois delegates to the national con
vention have promised to vote for my
re-election as national committeeman,
recent developments have convinced
me that acceptance of re-election as
national committeeman might compel
me to sacrifice the principles for
which the people of Chicago voted,
lie-election la Declined.
"I, therefore, decline re-election in
order to be free to continue the fight
for the principles our people have
Indorsed so emphatically. I will not
for a membership forsake my duty
to aid in the fight for these American
principles."
The mayor's statement said in part:
"The facts disclosed within the past
few days through an Investigation by
the United States senate of presiden
tial campaign expenses further impel
ana to this decision. Regard for pub
lic decency ehould rise above personal
ambition for office or power. It is
apparent that certain Interests would
put the Vhlte House on the auction
block. They assume that a candidate
with vast sums of money to spend
can be made president regardless of
his record, his lack of principles, or
his lack of sympathy with the alms
and desires of the American people.
Corrupt Influences Scented.
"Delegates have been excluded from
seats on account of corrupt influ
ences surrounding their selection.
Other delegates, unopposed for elec
tion, received substantial sums of
money, according to their own con
fessions. The ideals of true repub
licanism would. In my opinion, be
served if the persons who Improperly
paid or Bupplied money also were de
prived of the privileges of the con
vention and barred from being bene
ficiaries of any convention action.
"Believing in my heart that our
great republic cannot survive unless
the money changers shall be driven
from the temple of government, I
cannot and will not accept an election
to office, the forceful administration
of which might make me a party to
the purchase of the high office of
president of the United States."

In the voting contest for Queen

lamette at the foot of River street in
the presence of some 3000 people. '
first, probably will be salvaged. The
flatcars were being pushed up the
grade so that when the first car went
off the track the whole impact of the
locoiotive and the cars following
pushed the second car through and
over the first. Wreckage was cleared
away in less than two hours.
Traffic on the Lewis & Clark
line has been increasing heavily
through the demand for supplies and
equipment for the Saddle Mountain
Logging company, which will start
Its first logging on Monday.

the club decided to try and repeat the
success 6f five years ago, when they
leased the Heilig for the evening and

Thirty men riding on a flatcar of the
Lewis & Clark railroad had) a nar
row escape yesterday afternoon, when
two cars went into the ditch on the
new stretch of track leading to Sad
dle mountain.
As it was, only one man was: in
jurcd. He suffered a badly bruised
jaw and cheek when he was thrown
on a pile of old timbers and stumps.
The others escaped) by jumping.
One car was a total wreck and the
second, .which piled up on top of the
FIRE STARTS IN BOX CAR
Trouble Believed Due to Matches
Among Household Goods.
Fire which started in a box car of
household goods consigned to L. F.
Millhollen, Corvallis, Or., yesterday
morning at Front and Overton streets
did about $100 damage before It was
extinguished.
The blaze is believed to have been
caused by matcnes packed in with
the household goods and becoming
ignited when the car was switched
around. A piano and other valuable
furniture were undamaged.
Motorcycle Patrolmen Tully and
Stiles were dispatched from the police
station to co-operate with the fir
department in putting out the flames.

Koeber, both residing at 12 East
Seventh street, were run down by an
automobile at Grairt avenue and East

increase was smaller than either of
the two decades preceding 1910.
The latest estimate of the popula
tion of the city and county of Lon
don, made in 1917. was 4,026.901. a de
crease from the official census of
1911. which Fhowed a' population of
4,521,685. ,
TJie small increase - in the growth
of-the city of Kew York during the
past decade is attributed by census
officials to the almost complete stop
page during -the war of immigration
and to the heavy emigration of foreign-born
residents.
Boston's population, is '747,923, an
increase of 77,338 . or 11.5 per cent
over 1910. The increase in Boston's
population was not so large as that
of St. Louis, whose' total population
this year as announced several weeks
ago is 773,000, ah increase of 111,791,
or 19.4 per cent over' 1910.
St. Louis Maintains Rank.
St. Louis, therefore;; retains its rank
as fourth most populous city .of the
country, and Boston will hold fifth
rank unless Cleveland, t sixth city in
1910, whose population lias not yet
been announced,., shows an increase
exceeding ' 186.000 .' to bring its . total
past Boston. St. Louis during the last
ten years increased "is Jead over Boa
ton from 16,500 to" .20.900. '
NEW YORK. June' 5. Ono hundred
years ago New York T" in population
was something like the present city of
Albany, N. . Y., .a little more than
100,000. The city,' which has since
grown to be probably the largest in
the world, did not pass the'l. 000,000
mark until 1880, when the- govern
ment census gave it a . population of
1,206,500. i . . .
In 1900, with .the annexation of
Brooklyn and the incorporation of the
greater city . into ' five boroughs, the
3.000,000 mark was: passed, the exact
figures being 3,437,202. .a ..

The upward stride, was pronounced
after that, with the -4,000,000 mark
left behind in less than five years.

bridge.-which replaced the old wooden
structure, has been in operation eight
weeks. It was built by the state high
way commission at a cost of $60,000.
Opening of the new bridge removed
the last small gap in 'the paved high
way between Portland and Newberg,
24 miles. But by the end of the present
summer much of the highway beyond
Newberg. both toward Salem and to

paved. -
