Whole Pages ot Signa
tures Upon Wagnon
Free Water Petition
Work of Individual
Law Not Complied With and Pe
tition Full of Cross Irregular
. ities- Several Pages Signed
by Some Person in Pencil and
; Others by Another In Ink.
One man,' the secretary of the plumb
ers' union, signed f ivs pages of the
Wagnon free , water Initiative petition
with namea of the members of the
plumbers' union, and aent the paces in
to be recorded. by the Vity auditor. Ac
companying ths names he sent his affi
davit as follows, written at the bottom
of one of the pages: .
. ',To whom this may concern. I, the
secretary of the plumbers' . union, waa
authorized, to copy these namea and
send them In. Signed, . C. 3. Qulnn.
, .Passed by CounoQ.'
Although the city council has passed
the Wagnon petition In spite of various
Irregularities in Its construction, and
It is now ready to be placed on the
ballot. It has been discovered that the
petition Is fined throughout with groan
Irregularities of signature. Five pages
were filled out by the secretary of tbe
plumbers' union, in ink, and in addition
to this throughout the pages are to be
found- large bunobee ef names which
have been signed by soms person, all
the slgnaturee being made in tha same
hand and with the same pencil or pan...
Several pages are, signed - with an in
delible pencil by thv same person, other
pages are filled either entirely or in
part with signatures In Ink, written by
the same person, and , others still tn
common lead pencil, the writing all ap
parently by the same writer.
This fact was known to some of
those who objected to the petition, but
has not been made public so far. Tha
chief objection to the petition, how
ever, as argued before the council, was
that the signers, in a great many in
stances, did not give their precinct ad-
drees or their street numbers. Fage
after page of the petition bears sim
ply the word "Portland" at tbe top and
ditto marks following down to show
that the signer was a - resident and
voter of Portland.. ,
WO! Oo ITpoa Ballot.
It la not probable that the discovery
of the Irregularities In the petition will
affect It now that the council has de
cided to allow It to go upon tbe ballot.
but the cloee examination of the docu
ment baa disclosed that Its lrregulsvrl
tles are auch that, had It been checked
up, aa Is being dons with the McKenna
ordinance petition. It would have shared
the ssme fate that la now confronting
that measure. -The-Wagnon
ordinance, by the action
of the council, wtll be placed on the bal
lot, but had It been aubjected to exam
ination It would to all appearancee have
been found that It does not have genu
ine signatures enough to gtva It stand
