Dr. Harry Lane, Deraocratio nominee

1,000 voters of the city irrespective of

filed with the city auditor naming him
as an Independent candidate for. the of
fice of mayor. This is probably the
first time in the history of Portland
where any candidate, for municipal, of
floe has been given the distinction ot
appearing on the official ballot as a
doubly nominated candidate for election.
Petitions have been ln( circulation
during the past two day under the
general supervision of "W. I. Edwards,

association and the success met with
by those handling the documents point
with assurance to the great Lane senti
ment which is to be found ia every part
ef the city. ; ' -
One petition circulated yesterday on
the east side snows tne general exper
ience' of the men handling the papers.
Out of IS men asked to sign the petition
II did so and went on record as being
heartily Interested in the candidacy of
the .present mayor for reelection. The
signers were not selected or picked out
because of known affiliation with Dr.
Lane and his administration but were
taken as tbey came.

The one man who refused, had a per
sonal grudge against the mayor on
account of some official action which
was detrimental to his private Inter
eats. He stated that he had 100 voters
under his control and that he would
vote every one of them for Thomas C
Devlin. , -' x-- .: ,-
In the circulation of the petitions for
signatures the men in charge had no
trouble In finding signers ,. and were
much encouraged by the willingness of

names. All of the petitions nave not

be by Saturday, when they will be
