lama, i
Salem, Or., Oct. 21. The state su
preme court today declared in an opin
ion that the recall ballot In Portland
should read: "Shall H. R. Albee be
recalled f rom ' the office of mayor?"
and dismissed the application for a
writ of mandamus Instituted by Eu
gene E. Smith to force Auditor Barbur
of Portland to change the ballots of
the election to be held In Portland
October 27, by eliminating the recall
clause. The opinion was written by
Judge Burnett.
The supreme court holds that the
essence of the recall amendment of the
constitution is the recall of an officer,
saying:
"The people are entitled to vote
directly upon the. unadulterated ques
tion of recalling an incumbent of a
nubile Dosition."
Two Questions to Be Decided.
In anothr section the court says:
'"In our Judgment, the simple and
natural construction of this section
(the recall) is that in such instances
there are two questions to be decided
by tho electorate: Kirst, the princi
pal one of whether the people will
recall said officer; and the second, of
who shall be his successor, which, ifl
..subsidiary ana conditional upon jne
determination q ,he first adversely
ito the incumbent of the. office. The
essence of the tiection is the r-ffcall
of an ofricer. This accomplished, and
not until then, it becomes necessary
to consider ho shall take his phce;
end this is detyrained by the Belec--tlon
from whatever number of candi
dates may offer themselves for the
place.
"The fact that both questions are
to be settled at the swime election does
not destroy their tiatural sequence."
The court pointsi out that the mani
fest intention of the language requir
ing a special election is "to deter
mine whether the people shall recall
tfitoh f fl,r
Continuing, the" opinion says: "It
does not necessarily follow that ther
will be candidates at such election, and
the right of the people to exercise
.this prerogative cannot be made to de
'pend upon the mere avidity of possible
candidates for the office. It is pos
sible that in the election, so far as the
candidates are concerned, the plurality
Of voters, although a very email mi
nority of the total, may go to the in
dividual who first held the office in
question; for. he, like any other citizen,
in eligible to be a candidate. Thus thi
paradox may happen that the recall in
effect may defeat Itself.
"Be this a It may. still, if we were
to attend only to the choice among
.numerous candidates, no direct expres
sion would be given to the will of the
people as to wucinvr mo incumueui ui-
fleer was deserving of censure or dis
missal.
"It Is also contended that the ballot

one of - the burdens which must be
borne by those .who pay tbe taxes in

la sustained and the cause dismissed."
universal applause by the large audl-j
7i-t hiai ngcxea io me opera nouse
to hear the address. "1 am. glad to
note that the applause for President
Wilson comes from all alike," said Dr.
Smith. "I believe every loyal Ameri
can, Irrespective of party, admires and
respects and pays grateful tribute to
the wisdom, statesmanship and hu
manism of President Wilson, tbrougfc
whose level-headedness, patience and
forbearance we have been saved from
being plunged into war with Mexico.
"Being war-torn Europe spilling tbe
blood of Its brave sons gives us added
appreciation of the blessings of tran
quility and peace."
Dr. Smith was Introduced by A. M.
Reeves, ex-mayor of Lebanon. Mr.
Reeves said:
"There are various candidates for
the high office of governor, i I think
one of the striking points of differ
ence in the candidates is that when
Dr. Smith sought the nomination he
announced his platform and his prin
ciples. He was selected1 for these prin
ciples. He has not swerved an iota
from his platform and no amount of
opposition has made him alter his
high ideals. He stands for something.
Some of the other candidates have
trimmed their sails to the winds of
popular opinion. They have ceased to
advocate views that were found to be
unpopular. With them getting the of
fice is all important, of more import
ance than maintaining their Ideals. We
need a strong, clean man as governor
and It is my pleasure to introduce to
you such a man."
Holds Close Attention.
The applause was hearty and sus
tained. Dr. Smith was ' at his best
The close and careful attention given
his address was a tribute to bis sin
cerity. He gave an earnest and force
ful talk. Dr. Smith has none of the I
tricks of the orator. He talks simply
and directly and makes a logical and
convincing presentation of the facts.
"I have traveled all over the state,"
said Dr. Smith, "I have been in every
county during the past three months.
1 have talked with men and women in
all walks of life; men and women rep
resenting many vocations and all
shades of political opinion. I have
been pleased during my trips by rail
and in private conveyances to the
more remote parts of the state to see
the interest shown by the people in
good government."
Applaud Chamberlain's Kama.
When Dr. Smith epoke of Senator
Chamberlain as the defender of the
Oregon system and one who had stood
by his guns in the defense of his prin
ciples he was applauded to the echo. '
Dr. Smith discussed the importance
of business economy and business
ability in state, county and city. He
said: "Think of $24,000,000 belnar
handed by Oregon citizens over the
counter of the various county treas
urers in taxes this year! Seven eighths
of the $80,000,000 of net profits made
this year In Oregon come from the
farms. Thirty per cent of this $80,-
uuu.uuo was paid bacic in taxes. No
wonder we feel the pinch. N wonder
there is dissatisfaction. No wonder
we are not prosperous. Why should
not the state live within its income. &s
it expects Its citizens to do? Whv
snouia tne legislature create bonds and
limuiuioaiuuM mi uie statenouse is
fairly running over with them? The
head of every family pays 50 cents
for every working day in taxes that
is on the averaare. If he 1no rvnt rmv
it directly, he pays it indirectly in
nigner rents and increased cost of liv
ing.
"We can and should curb the ex
travagance of the legislature. One
tnmg mat win help will be the adop
tion of the single item veto.
'I can t see how any honest man can
oppose the single item veto. If the
people of the state ever have a chance
to voteon It, Ft will be carried over
whelmingly. The senate In 1913 turned
down tbe resolution which would have
submitted It to the vote of tbe people.
They realize that if It is ever sub
mitted to the people ' they could no
longer slip in little thieving items! In
the 1913 legislature the appropriation
bill carried 74 items, many of which
were foolish and unnecessary. The
governor vetoed the bill but the legis
lative machine passed the bill over bis
veto, laying an additional burden of
$200,000 on the taxpayers.
Enforcement of the iw.
One of the things that I consider of
prime importance is 'the matter of law
enforcement. A lax enforcement of
law brings a disrespect for the law.
A vigorous and active enforcement of
the law means a higher type of citi
zenship, a greater respect for the law
and the ridding of tbe community of
the gunman, the bank wrecker and the
grafting official. Regardless of s:he
intention of the law if it is on the
statute books I believe it is there to
be enforced and if I am elected gov
ernor I want to serve notice right now
that the law on the statute books will
be rigorously and vigorously enforced.
If they are bad laws they . should be
repealed.
If I am elected governor I pledge
you that I will enforce the laws.
Whether the law meets with my ap
proval or not will not enter into the
question.

lem. As an encore she sang the first
campaign song ox the present race
for reelection. Its authorship was not
announced, but the words which were
sung to the tune of "Marching Through
Georgia" went as follows:
We're gathered here tonight, friends.
to greet a comrade true.
To give a hearty welcome that is loyal
throuKh and through:
To tell the state that Chamberlain
has Marion's indorsement, too.
While we're boosting for his reelection.
Chorus:
Hurrah, hurrah, well win the victory,
Hurrah, hurrah, in November they will
see
That Chamberlain once again our sen
ator will be.
And we'll all boost for reelection.
The opposition candidate may work
with all his might.
But we'll show the foe that we're not
slow while battlinc for the right.
Our George is in the race to win and
victory is in sight.
So we'll all boost for his reelection.
The people's choice he's boldly stood
within the senate hall.
And championed the cause of right
for the common good of all;
So to show our appreciation we all In
line must fall.
And boost for George's reelection.
Ho Blemish on Bis Becord.
In his speech Senator Chamberlain
deprecated the fact that his opponents
were seeking to make this campaign
one of personalities and stated that
he would confine his remarks to is
sues and principles. "This Billings
gate and vituperation must stop," he
said. "They can find no blemish on
my official record of 21 years so they
must needs impugn my personal char
acter. "And there la another who is a vic
tim of this kind of attack. I speak
of that magnificent specimen of man
hood, the present governor of this
state. He started as a humble bank
messenger and worked himself up to
be governor and because he has made
good he - is abused."
Praise for Dr. -Senator
Chamberlain also paid a
tribute to Dr. C J. Smith, Democratic
candidate for governor. "I happened
to be governor of this state.' 'he said,
"when Dr. Smith was a member of the
state senate. I never found him want
ing in the interests of progress or
the cause of the just and the right."
Senator Chamberlain sketched the
accomplishments of the Wilson admin
istration, telling of the revision of the
tariff downward, the income tax. the
anti-trust legislation and "watchful
waiting."
His audience followed him Intently.
Over 1200 people crowded the opera
house.
Upon his arrival at the Marlon ho
tel the senator was entertained at din
ner by a score of Salem friends. Post
master Hackesteln presiding.
Yesterday afternoon Senator Cham
berlain addressed an audience in the
Mount Angel town halL Burt C Jones,
editor of the Times, presided, and on
the platform were Mayor P. S. Fuch
and Abbot Placidus of the Mount An-
ge Benedictine settement.
Deayed by bad roads, the senator
reached Woodburn an hour late and
found his audience still waiting in the
armory. Fully $00 people heard him
graphically describe what Woodrow
Wilson s peace policy had saved Amer
ica in contrast with the present war
in Europe. In simple language in an
unlighted hall he held his hearers
spellbound while he told how Woodrow
Wison had struggled to maintain
peace.
"My opponents state they seek to do
away with the policies of President
Wilson," he said. "Would you have
other than his policy of peace? Would
you have your eons slaughtered in
I Mexico as thousands are falling in
