PURPOSE OF CANDIDACY!
Democratic Nominee for Ma.vor Considers Principle In

at Stake at Election in June.

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.

Vice and certain large business In

when public moneys were wasted, and
when the patrimony of the people, now

New Era Inaugurated.
"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.

Bronaugh Intimated that unless answers
to the petitions for writs were submit

would Issue a peremptory writ of man

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

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."
