THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL PORTLAND.- SATURDAY 'EVENING. - MAY 1 15, lfcofc JUDGE IV1UNLY DEFINES 1 ORE TIME FOR PURPOSE OF CANDIDACY! Democratic Nominee for Ma.vor Considers Principle In volved in Primary Law the Great Question at Stake at Election in June. wiiTEo mm Judge M. G. Munly. Democratic nomi nee for mavor, flings down the gauntlet before Simon ami 1. fines in plain terms the purposes of his own candidacy in an open letter to the voters of Portland. He points out clearly the menace In volved in Simon's attempt to gain con trol of the city povernment and declares that Simon's defeat Is the one thing to he desired bv all Rood citizens who are Jealous of the city's welfare and of the Integrity of the direct primary law. The letter follows: "I ask SDace In The Journal at this time to correct some erroneous imprest sions concerning my candidacy for ihe mayoralty. When Mayor Lane declined to become a candidate for reelection, I was persuaded by many friends to he come the Democratic candidate for that office, at the recent city primaries. 1 declined to file a petition, but agreed that if nominated by writing: my name upon the ballot. 1 would accept the nom ination. 1 felt this course incumbent on me. because I believe that the duty to stand for office is as obligatory upon a citizen under our form of government, as the duty to g6 to the polls. Accepta Basalt of Primary. "I accept the result of the primary election and will make every honorable effort to be elected in June. The prin ciple Involved in the primary law Is the one great question at stake In this election, bees u ho upon the primary prin ciple depends the political Independence of the people against bosslsm, against the restoration of ring rule In short, against the whole theory of machine politics, and its endless chain of evils, liven the Republican nominee Is re ported to have said at the Republican testification meeting Wednesday night: "There can beJ no such thing as machine politics now. The direct primary and general election would prevent the for mation of a machine,' and he. confessed that "we have been unfortunate In past Republican nominations. I do not mean In the nominations themselves, but In the fact that the people have not ra ti nea tnem.' "But let not the people bo deceived. The entire 'get-together movement which resulted In the selection of Mr. Simon for mayoralty candidate on the Repub lican ticket, has for Its Inspiration the revival of the machine, and the over throw of the rule of the people. The history of the ante-primary convention Is too recent to require comment. It voiced a revolt against the primary, and is destructive of the primary principle. Jt marked the beginning of a movement to restore the political machine In the city, because control of city politics Is the foundation structure of the ma chine In state and national politics. merWal of Machine Msthods. "If I mistake not, the people who waged the long fought battle for politi cal independence against machine meth ods, and machine control in this city, are not yet ready to surrender the only safeguard of the people against the evils that have afflicted this city in the past. "The recollections of the gilded dens f robbery conducted by Erlckson, Fritz, the Blasters; the palmy days of the Portland club, Iarry Sullivan and "Cold Storage" Smith, are yet fresh in the public mind. Tire rows of dirty cribs, and their brazen occupants, and the revolting scenes In the north end; the muzzled police force and the emas culation of the whole machinery of justice in the city In order to maintain these condition, cannot yet have es caped the memories of citizens Resident here a few years ago. "The north end and the entrenched vices, and the concommitant sterilised the vote of the people. The Independ ence of officials selected In this way makes It Impossible to weld the chain of graft, "and corruption, in the inter ests of machine politics. In Kef irence to Mr. Simon.

Notwithstanding Mayor Lane's de clared Intention to veto the ordinance, the council tills morning at its special session voted to give the United Rail ways an extension of time In which to complete its line to Hillsboro and branch to Mount Calvary. The exten sion Is to be for one year, or until July 1, 1910. Meantime the company Is given the right to operate cars.

The connection and interrelations of the corrupt political machine with the 'safe' and 'sane' of ficial, and with vice, and vice with the corrupt machine in our American cities, has furnished the most disgraceful pages In the history of American pol itics. Vice and certain large business In terests connected with public Bervice, are responsible for this perversion of terminology. In every American city, the combination of privilege seeking business Interests, and the political ma chine, are hound up with entrenched vice,, graft, boodllng, and maladministra tion of the public affairs. It has sad dled upon nearly every large American city, immense debt burdens without cor responding benefits. Such a combina tion has, In the past. Increased the bonded Indebtedness of this city several hundred thousand dollars, and caused the loss of several hundred thousand dollars more In county money, and Is re sponsible for giving away public utility franchises of immense value, without any return whatever. Great public ser vice interests are always seeking priv ileges and favors. This city will soon reach the 500,000 mark in population. ana at- mis time arrords to such, a more promising, field fur' exploitation than did the whole state at any time in its history. Bossism Thwarts Progress. "I may Illustrate what I mean by call ing to mind the obstacles thrown in the way of the North Bank road, when seexing permission to build Its road in to this city. Of what vast advantage it would b to the large public service interests now enjoying privileges here, to have Its representatives secure in public office when a competitor ap peared upon the field? It will be seen, theretore, that bosslsm and the machine haa to do not only with questions of decent and orderly government, and eco nomic administration, but with, the com mercial prosperity of th city as well. "tet the most singular circumstance of all is the fact that during many years of the long reign of the machine in inn city, wnen vice was defiant, when elections were a disgraceful farce, when public moneys were wasted, and when the patrimony of the people, now worth millions, was given away 1n fran chises to privilege seeking Individuals and corporations. Mr. Simon, the Repub lican candidate, was the political boss and dictator; Slmonlsm and bosslsm were one and the same; 8lmonlsm and the machine, and Slmonlsm and corrupt political methods were inter-changeable terras. means that the amendment would have to take the same procedure as the origl nal franchise. Herman Wittenberg, who represented the company, stated that there Is not time in which to secure the extension by the regular methods and said ho would be' willing to take chances. If the council would pass the-ordinance, on Its not being attacked In the courts by some taxpayer. City Attorney Kavanaugh admitted that the council had no authority to pass such an ordinance but he also said that its passage would in no way jeop ardize the city's Interests. 'With this understanding nine councilman voted for the measure. Baker, Coneannon, Cottel and Rushlight took Mayor Lane's advice. and voted no.

"A few years ago, by the aid of The, Journal, and the union of all the forces that stood for law, order and decency, the political machine was overthrown by the election of a Democratic sheriff, and mayor, and a new era was lnaugu lated in city affairs. Since that date, the people and not the hn hv. the controlling forces In public affairs. By means of the primary law this con trol nas been maintained. 1 cannot be lieve that any great number of our citi zens are willing to restore the nortu end spirit again In our city administra tion by placing the machine of which Mr. Simon is the personification, in con trol. I am inclined to believe that the blare of trumpets at Mr. Simon's en trance Into politics once more will not have the effect to dismay the anti machine forces, but will, on the con trary, concentrate them in opposition to his election. Every effort Is being made to give out the contrary Impression. "I am firmly convinced that, with the support or tne forces opposed Ho Mr. Simon's candidacy, I can be elected. 1 reel satisfied that any one candidate who utands squarely on the primary law una woo nas me support or a united op. position to Mr. Simon can be elected. Mr. Simon's leadership In a political campaign is not to be desnlacd it i an able general, but victory Is with the strongest oattauons in politics, as In war. and the majority of the neonle am opposed to Mr. Simon and all his politi cal works and pomps. Advises United Stand. Valuable time Is belna- consumed In debating the question of putting other candidates in the field. If any candi date standing fairly and squarely on the primary law can be named, who may be regarded as more likely to combine the opposition forces against Mr. Simon, 1 am willing. If It can be honorablv done. to step aside and jrlve him a free field. If no such can be round, and none such has yet appeared amongst the inde pendent candidates discussed. It be hooves all the friends of good govern ment in the city to stand with me. and aid m In making this contest. If this Is done, if those who are striving to keep this a clean, orderly and progres sive city, divide their forces In the face of the enemy by multiplying candidates, he result of the June election can be announced without waiting further. I have only the good of the com munity In view In becoming a candi date. I have no political aspirations. and while the election to the office of chief executive of this city is a great honor. I seek neither honors, emolu ments or party power, and am ready to do what may seem best for the future welfare of the city. M. (3. MDNI.T." Hearings on applications for writs of mandamus compelling the city auditor to place the 12,000,000 light and power plant and excise board petitions on the ballot will be heard in the state cir cuit court late this afternoon by Pre siding Judgo Earl E. Bronaugh. Yesterday morning when he over ruled demurrers to the writs. Judge Bronaugh Intimated that unless answers to the petitions for writs were submit ted by 2 o'clock In the afternoon, he would Issue a peremptory writ of man damus. This the court considered nec essary because of the fact that today Is the last possible date of publica tion for the petitions. However, when A. I. Barbur, city auditor, yesterday announced to the court that he had decided to go ahead with the publication of all contested pe titions, regardless of their standing In court, the court continued the hearings over until today, giving the attorneys an opportunity to file amended answers In the suit. Monday at 1! o'clock was set as a time for hearing arguments 1n the matter of petitions for Injunctions restraining the auditor from putting the electrical workers and Market street bridge petitions on the ballot.

Judge Cleland instructed the minis ter not to answer the question, follow ing an objection by Thad K. Vreeland, deputy district attorney, and Mr. Fouts dismissed the witness. Tho only other feature In the Slocum case today was the overruling of a mo tion for an instructed verdict tor th state made by Attorney Vreeland. The defense Introduces witnesses today. MRS.

BISHOP SOADDING B00ST8 OLD OREGON "Between the Pacific and the Cas cades," is the title of a beautifully Nlus trated article by the Right Rev. Charles Scadding, bishop of Oregon, 1ri the Mav Issue of "The Spirit of Missions," which has a large circulation in the east. The bishop shows a keen appreciation of the fertility, climate and no.ihtntl nf Oregon, and writes enthusiastically of its ruture. tm article closes with the following tribute to the coast countlc: "Undoubtedly there is a splendid fu ture for the Coos country. It Is a rral. rich, beautiful region, full of opportu nities to make a living, to gain a com petence, or to mak a fortune, and It is attracting stalwart citizens from other states. Its resources as yet are lareelv undeveloped; but when the railroad reaches It Its growth will be rapid. It Is for us clergy and laity, who are pray ing and working for the extension nf Christ's kingdom In this utate. to see to it that by our prayers, our sympathy, our liberal contributions, the church keeps pace with the growth of popula tion and the material Interests In the country. Some day a new diocese win be carved out of Oregon, probably from Eugene south. It will hardly come In my day. but happy will be the bishop who, In the providence of God, shall be called to administer it."
