A.G. Rushlight, Candidate for Mayor of Portland.' '
Ftiends of the. direct primary law and opponents of corporate
rule in the .administration of city affairs are arraying themselves
behind the candidacy of ' A. G. Rushlight in opposition to the cam
paign of Joseph Simon for the Republican nomination for mayor.
Within the past tew days the strengtn ot Mr. Kushiight has
berun to e:row steadily- and eachf day sees new recruits to the al
ready large force of supporters which is lined up behind him. The
Rushlight carid idacxisattracli
voters, and it is expected that he .will have.; a majority of the labor
ing men behind him when the vote is taken in the primaries. v

Shawnee, Okla., April 19. Four
men, two of them cattle ranchers, re
puted to be millionaires, were taken
from the county' Jail at Ada at 3
o'clock this taoroing by a mob of '.
100 men and hanged in a barn at
the rear ot the prison. - The victims:
Jesse west. ,
Joseph Allen. .
B, B. Burrell.
Joseph B. Miller.,
West was the only one to offer . re
sistance. He fought with the mob un
til they had dragged him into the barn.
West and Allen were charged with hav-
ing hired the others to murder United
States Marshal A. A. Bott on February
27. Bott waa very popular and feeling
In the case has rufr high since he was
killed. - ' 1 , - ' i
The mob quietly surrounded the jail
and overpowered a deputy .sheriff who
bad been left on guaird. This man did
not have the deal red keys, however, and
the jail was . partially battered - down
before the four men were taken' from
their cells!
All four were hafieed together and as
soon as they were Uead,tht mob nuletty ,
dispersed. TRe officers did' not find the
bodies until, daylight.
It in understood the prisoners had
boasted that they .could not ba -con-

...3Iade Supervisor. -
In addition to the labor vote many,
prominent business men of the city have
come -forward to the aid of-Mr.' Rush
light believing that should he be elected
be would give a fairer, more equitable
and at the same time as efficient an
administration aa any candidate who
has so far been mentioned for the noml
nation anil election Anions' these men
Is W. B. Ayer, president of the North
Pacific Lumber company, who Is out
openly In the cause of the plumber can
didate, - . - . ,
It was erroneously stated in-a local
nitur this mnrnlnr that Mr.-Aver -Was
one of a group of men who were to hold
a conference today looging to me se
lection f a candidate to oppose Mr.
Simon, in speaking of this and of Mr.
Ruahlighfa candidacy, Mr. Ayer says: ;
.. Mr. Ayre's Words.. '.;
f hava heard nothing about a con
ference and am not going to attend one.
The direct primary law which provides
a means for nominating candidates for
office is sufficient. 1 am acting on my
own Initiative in the matter, and am
strongly opposed to a return of machine
methods.. -
The Simon convention was backed
by a majority of his henchmen and a
minority of innocents, it was the same
old machine worked la the same old
wsy.
"I am going to vote In the primaries
for a business man. Mr. A. G. Rush
light who I believe will give a business
administration to the city. -I also be
lieve tnal fie possesses tne qualities
that make for an efficient executive
snd represents the Spirit of progressive
Portland. Another thing that appeals
to me Is that he Is not the attorney for
large corporations whose Interests so
often are In conflict with the true In
terests or the city.
In view of the., showing as - a vote
Setter , which has been made by Mr,
:ushlight during the last general elec
tion when he was beaten, for the nom
ination for 'assessor by B. D. Sigler by
only 2000 votes, it Is expected that he
will make -a strenuous, and a Winning
campaign 1 against , Senator. Simon for
the nomination. '
' j The Simon camp is beginning to show
uneasiness at the growing" strength of
the Rushlight candidacy. As the con
viction reaches the great mans of the
voters mat tne convention held in the
Baker theatre was run according to a
prearranged slate, and that the success
or its nominee means the first step
towards the overturning of the direct
primary i law and' the reestabitshment
of the old time machine dominion in
Multnomah county these voters are
turning from any thought of Senator
bimon ana seeking for a candidate
wno is opposed to tne Simon program.
As these voters are becoming ac
quainted with the attitude of Mr. Rush
light they aare attaching themselves to
ma canaiuacy.
Another Sjtrour Man.
On the Democratic side of the fence
there is talk of Jefferson Meyers as
a candidate ror the nomination of that
party. Mr. Meyers Is well known in
Portland and has alwavs stood for the
cause of progress and tha promotion of
and protection for legitimate business
enterprises. It Is believed that should
he consent to enter the contest that he
would prove a strong lactor In the final
contest!.) June.
There la a continuinr rumor that A
A. Bailey la contemplating- withdrawal
from the mayoralty contest. However.
If -Is not believed that Mr. Railev hi
made any definite determination to take
any such action, and the probability is
that he will atsy in the race for the
nomination until the end.
