Aa Bqaivooal Attitude. . In one breath Mayor Williams de clared that he had tried to asppreaa rambling but found It Impossible; In . ' tha next ha said that -the licensing of the" gambling houaea waa but a tem porary expedient to raise funds for the ' city,: and that not1 one of thotn would have been allowed to- remain open after laat January I. There waa no attempt , ' to excuae or explain the mayor's fall ' ura to enforce the laws as was . his worn duty. ' ' waa. a "goodspeech"from ' the standpoint of the practical ' politician. for 'very dangerous issue waa adroitly I avoided and the embarrassing questions , u which, the mayor haa been aaked to art . . a war ware . all - Ignored. Tha appntuaa ' waa frequent and noisy, especially from , the large, contingent ot city and county ' employes who formed a handsome per ... eentage of the S00 people present, and ' -( from a delegation from the gambling i bounce of the north end. , . Mrs. Woodcock leads Off. . . The.'mayor was r few minutes Jata. Tha crowd which had gathered In. the .' dimly. lighted hall called upon Mrs. Woodcoefc for a . Ipeech. . Waving) her " flag. over the heada'-of her auditors ahe declared herself a I't'nlted Statea Re , publican natioratl" and therefore entitled to a aeat ,on the platform In' all Re- publican gatherings; Her apeecb,-t cut short 4iy .the candidate's arrival, ' - heralded oy a brass band. Mayor Williams opened' his address with a plea for tha support of all R publicans on the ground that ha Is the party nominee. The Indorsement given , . to his candidacy by the liquor dealera - received scant attention. - . I -'They had a right to make " their : , c)iolcaand..lf they prefer me. they only show their, good sense," said tha mayor, and tha self-evident' truth of tha state-. , ment brought forth applause. .j ---- The mayor's explanation of the Tan-.- -ner ereek Job waa remarkable chiefly . for lta brevity and for Its omission o everything that Is material to the case. . lie aald. that tha contract for the sewer was awarded to Rlner because bo waa tha lowest bidder; that when the sewer' .was finished the city engineer recom mended that It be accepted and thla waa - donety the executive board; that when - Investigated the sewer was ground tl festive ;" that the tnaynr-tried unsuccess - fully to get the council to" pay for the, Stop Gambling But Qty repairs out of the general fund and that the contractor bondsmen were-then compelled to do the work. In dismissing tha topic. Mayor Wllliaraa asserted that the aewer- la now better than if It had been constructed orlglnallym accord anca with the speclflcatlons, and that the - property .ownera "have Buffered no lows- by reason of Rlner s crooked work. Therwas no explanatlun of the fact that Mayor Williams and hla executive board approved the job In the face ot atrong protests from - property wnar In tha assessment district, that he did air tn iils-power tw prevent and then ta belittle the subsequent Investigation, and that hla attitude, waa -throughout one of hostility to the property ownera. - - rroat Street Bridge. . Mayor Williams gave an outline plof tor 6f the rront street brldge-affarrr but man of tha Important detalla were not flUedr tat- Some important facta -re lating to ' this matter were., brought to light yesterday morning In the Rume lin trial, but these disclosures --were said that the Pacify?

When we - rejected: tha bid .we re turned the certified check aa we do In all auch cases. That haa occurred' in hundreds of Instances since I have been mayor.'' ," ..." . '. ' '7"; It la, of course, the practice to return the deposit of contractors whose bids are rejected. - But the .Everett com pany was not a rejected bidder its bid hsd been accepted and it the'n aought to be released on the ground that a mis take had been made incite figures By. the plain terms of the-city's invitation to contractors, to-bid unon the work. the deposit of the Everett company had Decorae ronenea ana neiongea tq the city. f As to Oambliaff. ,: Mayor" Wllrtams laid great stress on the assertion that he made .no promlaea before his election that ca-.woukd press-gambling; He did not allude, how' ever, to the emphatic promlaea made In hla Inaugural meaage and repeated In an Interview published two days later in tha Oregonlan. The mayor's expla nation of the Circumstances under which the policy Vof,. licensing the gamblers was first adopted will have all the In terest of novelty. Ha said: "I made every effort In my power when I came into office to put down gambling In thla city. Every man who la acquainted with me knows th,at I am opposed to gambling aa much aa any person in the city of .Portland; and when they tell you that I atand for an open town they know that they lie. I have never said a word or done any- tning- to, indicate tnat i atand for an open town. There Is nothing of tha kind. While I waa trying to nut down gambling, and not with much success. for juries were constantly acaulttln the men when, they were arrested and tried,, the council and the executive board had a secret 'meeting without mv knowledge and consent, In which they decided , to try this system' of fining gammers. wnen the matter came to my knowledge J objected to It. and the argument made to me. was thla: We have no money in the city . treasury. wa ere .down to bedrock; the Lewis and Clark fair Is approaching and wo must nave some money with which to nut the city of Portland In a presentable condition when the fatr comca on.

They argued tliat our anglae houses were all rotten and decayed; that our4 elevated roaaa were rotting -'and falling down; that our brldgea were falling down, and some of them did fall down. One fell and eiilled a man and Injured others; arid they said we must have some means with which to prepare the city for the Lewis and Clark fair. Wa have no money In the treaaury and what shall wedoT , "Now, these argumenta. t admit had force with me. I waa put to the necee slty," as men are sometimes' compelled to choose between evils. As msn cannot alwaya have hla way. and 'here was a, question, on the one hand, whether thla city ahould be left In lta dilapidated and disgraceful condition, .'sis It waa then, or whether I ahould accept thla program that waa made by the council and ex ecutive board, and r concluded that It waa my duty, under the clrcumstanoea, to acquiesce in- their action." - ' -..The mayor related the method. of pro- .(Continued on..
