No- other definite action was taken. During tbe-Temalnder of the" campaign the association will maintain t headquarter at 411 Commercial build lng. The office will be In charge of W, . F. Edwards. The statement prepared by the association follows: "lu to4 by People. i "To the Voters of the City of Port 's land Two years ago Portland was in the throes of one of the most signifi cant elections In her history the first under her new charter. , ' - " "In 1904 the machine, which for years . had dominated the Republican party, re ceived some severe blows in the alec tlon of county officers, particularly the sheriff . and . district attorney. - When the city election came round it mads a desperate effort to retain Its hold on the city offices, and succeeded through the activity of corrunt political Influ ences, combined with the Indifference of ' a great number of good cltlsens, in ' placing nearly all Its candidates on, the . Republican, ticket. . ' irlnced that the election of that cket, nominated by the combined ma chine, liquor and corporate Interests, would mean another two yeals of an administration which had persistently turned a deaf ear to all appeals on be half of the moral Interests of the city, this association Indorsed . Dr. Harry Lane, the Democratic , nominee ; for mayor, and- devote Its forces to his election, believing him to be a man of his word, and that he would honestly fulfil the duties of his office if elected. The determination of the public to rid Itself of the old regime waa moat slgnlf. lcantlv , expressed . In the large rote , which he received over the regular 'Republican nominee. . 1 . ... -,v ''Two years have nearly passed an we gladly bear testimony to Mayor Lane's falthfulneaa In the fulfillment of his promise impartially to do his duty. He haa fearlessly and consistently stood for the Interests of the publlo at large .as opposed to those of any particular class or section, and that frequently In the face- of most unreasonable opposi tion from s council whfch seemed bent on serving the particular Interests which helped to elect it. and . embar rassing the mayor and his executive board In the performance of their du ties. The repeal of the saloon box or dinance and the enactment of the or dinances governing the appropriations for the various departments of the city service- are good Illustrations of this policy. By the latter the hands of the executive have been so tied that the efficient working of the street cleaning and -other departments has been seri ously interfered with. ' r Devllm Perl of Kahlne. ; ' "Again Mayor Ine appeals to the suffrages of the voters of this city, and hi -candidacy- puts them : face to face with two questions:r First, whether or not they shall -Indorse the manly, dis interested, public-spirited policy of op' position to corporate greed, private graft and suppreaalon of vice wnlcn haa characterised his preaent term of office. Second, whether or not they are to tolerate further encroachment of the old machine upon the political Ufa of the municipality. "For be It known that the machine Is not dead. It has a firm hold upon not a few - of the county officers. Last year It defeated. Tom Word's reeleo tlon to the office of sheriff, though he baa been acknowledged even by his po litical opponents as the ' best sheriff that Multnomah county ever had; and Only a few days ago, through the Coun ty court. It finally refused to pay his bill of costs of closing, up the gambling dans, a bill amounting to only I860, while the . f lnea recovered under hla faithful enforcement of the law In thla respect amounted to several thousand dollars. , - '- ' . '-" "Once more the fight centers around the office of mayor, and if Mr. Devlin Is elected the triumph of the machine will be nearly complete. . ("Briefly stated, this la the situation confronting the voters-- of . the city of Portland. The question involved Is not one of party politics. It Is the question as to whether or not we are to slip back Into the old evil of allowing pub llo - business to be dominated by the machine rule which has already so In famously disgraced the political life of the city and state and held us up to reproach before the. nation. ' Stood for gambling. 'P :::': ". '.' "Much haa been accomplished In the oleanlng-up process during the past few years, but upon us as voters now de volves the Important duty . of keeping thlnga as clean, as we , can, and we frankly affirm that eur one -hope of doing so at thla Juncture Is by reelect ing Mayor Lane; for such have been and are Mr. Devlin's affiliations, not withstanding his protests to the con trary, that we have so confidence In his being able to give tne administra tion which la .most desirable and nec essary for "the city's best Interests. - "Under the previous .administration Mr. Devlin was. an acknowledged advo cate of the licensing of gambling un der the fining system. In the Oregon lan of July . 24, 104, commenting on the situation in view of Sheriff Word's raids, he is reported as saying: 'If there Is no Income from the gamblers for three months or so several street and sewer Improvements will be de layed, or cannot be made. The council must adjust the expenditures to the new amount of Income. .People have been asking; for av good deal and now- they must wait until we -get the money to make the improvements,' : , we believe that the great majority of our electorate earnestly desires to do. what Us right, and on this ground we appeal to each voter to support Dr. Lane at the coming election by hla own vote, and In. the interval to do his ut most ' by personal effort . to . persuade othera to do llkewlne.
