Mass of People Rather .Than on Cliques or Clubs, in Campaign; Addressing a crow4 at Gtlatrap "' hall In Woodtoclc lait night Mayor Runhllght, In an earnest talk, pointed .out . th 'vital necessity ot getting good commls- I onra 4 atar t -Uii ty of f -nnderirom- mission rule, 1 "The press says W are faclna- a dan gerous situation," observed the mayor. wun is candidates for, commissioner . ships and five for mayor, owing to' the great -number 1 of unfits.. Records are being .published dally for your edlflca tlon and this is Well.. but whenever any organisation or club, attempts to ' tel) you to vote for any particular candidate , or set of candidates, offering you 'slate,' then you should beware. . .. "I sincerely hope that no clique or ciub endorses me in this tight. I pre fer to trust to the judgment of the great mass of voters. I believe the ceo pie will exercise just as good judgment as will any picked committee and I am Willing to.be Investigated financially, . morally or any other- way and submit to the popular decision.' The mayor recounted again the rec ord of his administration of the past ' two years, going into detail to show that the city has been handled In a more economical and efficient manner thin ever before In Its history. He : explained the new charter and told' how much more ha could accomplish under . its provisions. - Replies to Questions, Some of . the gathering were disposed . to be critical at first and several, ques ; tioiis interrupted the mayor's early re marks. The questioners were told to ' write out their queries and submit them to Chairman James Kertchem and after he had finished his talk Mayor Rush light spent nearly half an hour reply ing, to such effect' that he was ac corded a hearty outburst of applause before he lef the hall. . 1 ' . One of the questions asked was as to the truth of a report that a mile of pipe was missing in the water depart ment. '"I do not know whether a mile ir more is missing," said the mayor, "but ' I do Vnow that 39,000 pounds of lead were stolen within a few months and that thousands of dollars' worth of sup; ' plies and other materials were lost or stolen during the years before I took office and that nothing was ever done to check thfs waste until I employed ex ; perts and detectives to show the people I of this city that a reorganization of the water department was absolutely neces sary. That reorganization is now being effected and has been in progress for - soma months. One of the results of It is that pay stations, have been estab k llshej In every section of the city for the convenience of water consumers and I that the monthly bills can be paid at , these points relieving the homeowners and housewives of the necessity of los- lng time and money in making long :- trips to the water offices." Asked About Boss Island. ' k' dozen'qtiestlons pertaining to Ross I inland wefe addressed to the speaker, ! The mayor grew warm in replying to ; tnese. . "You ask me if I had an option on Ross island and for how much. I say , yes, for $1. The Ross island project is one of the greatest ever suggested for the general welfare and some day th.i , people will bitterly regret that they did not vote to purchase it at the Novem ber election. I have been, accused of having an interest in the lsuand prop erty by malicious and lying opponents, who have deceived the people as to the ; real merits of the plan: It was falsely stated that the city would have to pay 1300,000 for the Islands. ' "The bond, issue, while calling for jnOO.000 iei-lfli.lly Kovlilmt Hint the I 1 1 t wun i be secured by condemna tion proceedings ami that no morn Nliotild bo paid for It tlmn should bo awarded by a Jury. Dr. Story Speaks. "The people voted 12,000,000 of bdnda for the Uroadway brldgo, yet that great viaduct has Jutit been completed at a cost of about $1,(00,000.' We could save enough money by putting my plans for the development of the Island property Into effect to pay for it in. two years." Dr. George B. Story, a member of the city health board, was also a speaker at the meeting. He earnestly urged the people to vote - favorably .on .the in4 clnerator bond issue of $200,000 that will come before them at the election next month. . .' "Unless we provide additional in cinerator facilities for the disposal of garbage," said the speaker, ''Portland will become one of the worst pest holes In the country. Garbage la piling up all over the city and the , new plant at Guild's lake" though working to its ut most capacity, cannot take care of this. Laboring under the tremendous strain that it has been, for the past year, the plant wnl- evcntualIyT0llap8r"Uhless auxiliary burners are constructed. Few people oan realize the serious situation that would confront the city if such a calamity should be recorded." ALBEE INVITES STUDY OF ER Addressing ' the Women's Political Science club in the- auditorium of the Medical building yesterday' afternoon H. R. Albee, candidate for mayor, warned those present to beware of political poi son, which he said is being put ou against him by his opponents. He asked every one to investigate for themselves and invited the closest scrutiny of hi private and public career, but said that no one should believe political yarns that are spread. broadcast during cam paigns. "I am satisfied that every person In this room is united on the subject of good government," , said - Mr. Albee, "We all want good government. Every good citizen wants that, but, unless we are careful, we will not get It. warn the voters against false stories that are circulated and which undoubted ly will be Increased as time goes by. They are designed to confuse the pub Ho mind, for the purpose of splitting the good vote and letting the vicious have control of our publlo affairs. "What all good citizens should do is to center upon good candidates for of. flee and then stand by their guns; they should not be misled or confused by side Issues little things which are o no value, but are calculated solely to injure the candidacy of good people. ' I ask every voter who stands for. better government In Portland to investigate myrecord, both private and public, and to- judge whether or .not they want me I pledge myself to giye them, if they select me, a fair Impartial and econo mlcal administration of the city's sf fairs. "There have been and undoubtedly will be more stories set afloat to injure me In the publlo eye; of course, these are being, put out by my political op ponents, who want office -themselves. But I ask all of you to pay no atten tlon to these fhings, If you think I am the man who will represent your In terests In the way you want them rep. resented, keep that fact in mind and do not let these stories turn you aside from the real issues of the campaign." - Use Interpreters in Court.

Baker, candidate for com missioner, has called in all of his cam paign posters, and la having new ones made because his wife, his daughter, the small boy of the family and some of his closest friends have made strenuous ob jection to that particular presentation ot the Baker physiognomy made in the pic ture which he has been using in his ad vertising. "It doesn't look like you," was the verdict of Baker's feminine and juvenile relatives, "and it's downright ugly, It worCt do.'' ' 'i, ,V : ;' . "But lt'a already done," protested Ba ker feebly;, "the posters are made." "Make new ones," it was suggested. So .Baker, although not known as a vain man, called in his posters' and took thexiffending picture dut of his newspa per advertising. The picture which Mr. Baker has sub stituted Is one that he used In his last two campaigns. Also It 1s the photo graph which was his Jate mother's fa vorite picture of her son. V.. "I consider , this to be' my lucky pic ture," declares Baker. PREFERENTIAL PLAN OF BALLOT TO BE DEBATED "Resolved, Tha,t It Is better to vot first, second and third choices under the preferential , system than to vote only first choices."

A black board demonstration of the preferential sys tem of voting will be given.. Under the auspices of the Woman's Good Government club,, firemen will present the merits of the firemen's pen sion measure at a mass meeting in the Bungalow theatre at 8 o'clock this even ing. . - DECLARES HER FITHESS ER Declaring her long experience as a doctor and analyst has fitted her par tlcularly for the position of commission er of public safety, Dr.' U Victoria Hampton last night began her active campaign for commissioner at the fire men's hall in Tremont. ; She was given an enthusiastic greet ing by the crowd which packed the building to the doors. Briefly reviewing the history of the work she did free for- the city during the bubonio plague scare, when she test ed rata suspected of carrying plague germs, her fight against emptying sew age into Columbia slough and other things of similar nature, she . 'pledged herself to work at all ttmea for the bettermen t of iivlngrcondlton sT"- , "I'm not a politician, and have not the money nor Inclination to make a band wagon campaign,-" she said. "We have too many politicians already, What we really need Is a few can't-be-bought-or-traded people," who will go ahead and do what la right regardless of Its effect upon them personally. I stand for sensl- of hie, broad-minded administration Portland s affairs."
