A PARTISAN CANDIDATE.
: fit - A lengthy advertisement Mr.
I Devlin puts . partisanship above
; Ji everything else. Immediately
following a platitudinous Intro
ductory paragraph, he saysr "It Is
well to keep In mind that thla Is a
. partisan campaign. ' It ' has , been
I made so by . the Democracy." And
then he quotes Mr. Thomas letter
j n support of , this assertion. But
everybody knows that" the Demo-
4 (ratio voters rejected Mr. Thomas'
? theory and policy of partisanship in
f knonlclpal affairs.'. They voted for
; Mayor Lane's renomlnatlon as a spe
t rlflo' protest against Mr. Thomas'
r proposed partisanship, as well as an
Indorsement of Mayor Lane's admin
governed cities. Do the
such government heref
have outgrown partisanship ln! mu
nlclpal affairs. Is Portland to pro
gress along with them, or fall back
Into old ruts 'and let a selfish and
almost inevitably a corrupt machine
run the city? Mr. Devlin pleads for
party. We think , the People, . far
more important, v v; J. ,;; '
