H, O.i Fansher,- the ' boy's fa ' rUrf. js a candidate for assessor'- In Jaison countv The Portland Municipal association Intends to take an active hand in the pending political campaign by the In dorsement of and aotlve work for such candidates for public office as may measure up to the standards set by the organisation. At a meeting of the association held some time during the latter part of February It was decided to take an atclve part In the campaign, and in furtherance of this plan It was decided that all candidates who should come out for office should be given the scru tiny of the committees of the associa tion. In accordance with this plan differ ent candidates for office have come un der the searchlight from time to time as the association has held its meetings. So far this investigation has resulted In the Indorsement of James Cole for district attorney. He will be given the active official support of the associa tion and the individual aid of the mem bers before the primaries, and should he be nominated will be backed through tne iinai contest to tne election in June. The whole ticket will be scanned by tne memoers 01 tne association, How ever, and indorsements will be made for each office. As It Is now planned, a meeting of the association will be held during the present week, at which In alf probability a number of Indorse ments will be made. It is the purpose of the association In making the indorsements to pick out men whose past records and pledges for the future will square with the princi ples of law enforcement and clean poli tics which are supported by the organ isation. All candidates to receive the Indorsement of the association will have to come up-to the standard set by the organization. If there Is no candidate for any par ticular office who meets with the re quirements of the association, no in dorsement will be made for that office but the place will be passed ovrr All candidates, however, who are worthy of me support win oe oacxea actively inrouxnuui tne campaign. 11 is ex. nected that the attitude of th e asannin tion will have a material effect upon win resuiia as Biiuwu vj me vote in J una. For the Information of the voters of the state all those measures which are to come before the people at the election in June by Initiative, or referendum, or by reference to the referendum vote of the people by the last session of the legislature, will be printed In full by The Journal from day to day until all the measures have been reproduced. In the cases of those measures for which arguments have been submitted or against which objections have been filed, these arguments or objections will be printed, together with the measure to which they refer. Altogether there are 19 of these meas ures to be considered in June. The measures are taken from a pamphlet sent out by the secretary of state con taining all of the measures and the arguments filed with the secretary for ana against them. In the current Issue the proposed amendment to the constitution of the state providing for a change In the emoluments of members of the legisla ture will be printed. This Is a meas ure submitted to the people by the legis lature.
