Rushlight Says He Depends on
. 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."

THOUGHT BAKErIEtTER
LOOKING THAN PICTURE
George L. 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.

bated before the Woman's Good Govern
ment club meeting In the Bungalow the.
atre at 2:30 p. m. tomorrow. The meet
ing is usually held In. the auditorium of
