FLEGEL IS ACCORDED A ROUSING RECEPTION There Is danger that the recall may be successful. - : People ure Blow to realize that Oc tober 1:7. the date of the recall election, is next Tuesday. Evidence shows the recall movement is unpopular. The majority seuliment Is against It. But the votes cast next Tuesday 'Will determine the result. And no matter how much men and women may condemn the recall and the mo tives back of it, condemnation ' with out votes will not defeat the recall. The success of the recall may be a victory -for the three men chiefly re sponsible) for It. They are B. i&. Ken nedy, candidate for mayor; William A. Leet and H. E. Abry, candidates for ' commiaHlonernhip. Success of the recall may land them In offices for which, they have as yet exhibited no qualifications save their own desire to hold 'the offices. Kennedy Pays Tax on Aato. Only one of them appears on the tax rolls. Li. E. Kennedy, the recall candidate for mayor, pays no tax on real estate, but did pay a tax of $10.80 on an automobile and that was the ex tent of his taxpaylng. H. E. Abrey and W. A. Leet do not appear on the tax records. B. E. Kennedy in 1909 worked as a clerk at $3 a day for the committee on engrossing at the state legislature. Those who saw htm there . at that time commented on the fact that he never seemed to have anything to do in order to earn his J 3 a day. Before coining to Portland he pub lished a paper in Baker. His record there adds nothing to his credit or reputation. II0 asked to be allowed to serve without pay as Mayor Albee's campaign manager, then sought as reward for his services, first the office of city treasurer, then the of fice of city purchasing agent. The Non-Partlsan league makes the following report on William A. Leet, after-investigation: Report on Leet. "The records on file in the United States district court show, that at the time W. A. Leet owned an interest in the Columbia River Orchards com Pany,, he accepted money and ren dered an opinion to prospective in vestors relative to the wiiwlom of in vesting in the company. In other words, he was paid by both sides and pretended to be disinterested. Several promoters of this scheme are now in the penitentiary." The following report on H. E. .Abry la also made by the Non-Partlsan league: "Want to be in charge of the engi neering department of this city and yet he Took a civil service examination and failed to pass. He got only 55 Vi per cent, where 75 per cent was re quired. At this time he said he had had over 20 years" experience and yet he could not pass the examination, and, furthermore, he said he had never re ceived over $175 per month in his life Now he wants to get $400 a month and wants to direct the work of a vast or ganization, many of whom have passed the examination which he could not." Would Count Hecall Indorsement. . I Kennedy, Leet and Abry, chiefly re sponsible for the recall, will count suc cess of the recall a personal indorse ment of them by the people. The above records indicate the kind of men who seek this Indorsement which could only be given, by reason of the failure of the majority of the people in this city to turn out and vote next Tuesday. The recall election has resulted in presenting also the names of two can didates in addition to the three who are chiefly responsible for the recall. Kugene E. Smith is a candidate for mayor and has a considerable strength, especially with organized labor. He is regarded as a man of character and good standing but his candidacy is handttaped by the general hostility of the voters toward the Invocation of the recall at this time. Dr. George B. Parrlsh. a physician who has had no training whatever in engi neering matters, is a candidate for the . office of commissioner of public works. He is a large property owner, having accumulated his fortune chiefly since coming to Portland eight or nine years go. Considers Good Work Bone. That" through his action, resulting in a supreme court decision on the form of ballot for the recall election real good was done, was asserted to day by-Eugene E. Smith, recall candi date for mayor.: Commenting on the decision of the 'supreme court and upon- the recall, Mr. Smith said: The decision drnvinr n writ of man flamus and upholding the opinion of .. t-iiy Attorney L.& Koche on the form of ballot to be used In the recall elec tion has emphasized the point I tried to bring forcibly to the attention of Oregon's voters when making applica tion tor me wni JACKSON STRONG IS FOR CHAMBERLAIN DR.

Neither I nor any honest voter can have objection to permitting the vot ers passing directly upon the recall of an official, providing said official was put into his or her office by the same decisive manner or voting. It is considered illegal to. base an supposition-on an absurdity. The su preme court in its decision made a point of the possibility of the voters beinsr denied a chance to vote Cn the recall of an official because of no other candidate appearing on the bal lot except the official sought to be recalled. Hence they ruled the ques tion I objected to must be on the bal lot. It Is close to the absurd to sup pose that the number of voters re quired to file a recall petition would sign same except candidates other than the object of the recall, were ready to file.

And It need only be stated to be seen that a con gressman in sympathy with and aid ing the administration could accom plish more for his state than one who was engaged in impeding the admin istration policies. "The supreme consideration is that President Wilson, after a record of achievements never before approached by any administration,, has come be fore the country for a vote of confi dence.

Attorney Reames Finds Withycombe "in Bad With Rogue River Farmers," "Senator Chamberlain and Dr. C. J. ing same. They have done us a real good by emphasizing and, making plain me wea&ness or our law. What we need and will eventually get is a law that makes it mandatory, upon the filing of a petition signed by a certain percentage of the voters, for the proper official to call a special election for the purpose of giving the voters a chance to choose between the official or officials against whom the petition Is filed and such other candi dates as may file in opposition to same. For the present all we can do is use care and thought in casting our bal lot. Work of Cleeton's Court Sustained Judge Morrow Declines to Order Case Tried as Though it Xad Never Been Tried Before. Circuit Judge Morrow yesterday made the first ruling as to the legality of circuit court work done by Judge Cleeton, whose court has been de clared unconstitutional. Judge Mor row denied the motion of Attorney James Walton Jr., that the suit of I. H. Jones against the Van Emon Ele vator company, a dispute over wages, appealed from the district court, be tried as though it had never been in the circuit before. The plaintiff was awarded the $200 asked in the district court, and won a verdict for the same amount on appeal in Judge Cleeton's court. Judge Cleeton set the verdict aside because of error in the pleadings, and the case was transferred to Judge Morrow's court. Walton desired the original appeal heard instead of the new trial. FIND UNIDENTIFIED BODY An unidentified man. about 35 venrs old, was found dead yesterday after noon m me turntaDie pit in the North ern Pacific Terminal yards. He was seen in the yards earlier in the day and ordered out. The body is at the undertaking company of Dunnine & McEntee. Tobacco Dealer Fined. A fine of $10 was imposed against R. B. Jacks, an east' side tobacco deal er, this morning in the municipal court for selling smoking tobacco to a Washington High school student. S. M. Nabel, another east side dealer, was discharged on a similar complaint. Frank Hunt and H. W. Ganong, two students from the Washington High school, were arrested yesterday after noon by Patrolman Schmidtke when them to carry the county with 1500 votes to spare, and I am absolutely sincere in this belief." Clarence L. Reames, United States attorney, returned last night from Medford, where he spent almost a month in trying cases in the Medford term of the United States court, and his observations during that period prompted his making this emphatic statement today. "Dr. C. J. Smith addressed crowds that were record breakers in the Jack son county towns," Mr. Reames ob served. "He was taken all over the county and everyone seemed to want to see him. Governor West spoke for C. J. Smith and the enthusiasm was spontaneous." , Dr. Withycombe is "in bad" with the Rogue River valley farmers because of his opposition to their public mar ket. Medford has a public market that is unsurpassed in the state, according to Mr. Reames. The farmers realize that it affords them the best opportunity of marketing their products, and give it the warmest support. They take great pride in the Institution. When the market was being dis cussed almost two years ago, Withy combe wrote & letter to the Medford Mail - Tribune, opposing the public market idea. That letter has been recalled in this campaign, and was recently republished- in the paper. It has cost Withycombe hundreds of votes, Mr. Reames declared. A poll of the Rogue River farmers has been taken by prominent Demo crats of the county in the last few days and sentiment - was found to be almost y unanimously against Mr. Withycombe. Senator, Chamberlain this week' ad dressed 1600 people at Medford, Mr. Reames stated. He was taken to all the Other towns in the county, and the receptions were warm. People who had never met him before-"were most favorably impressed. "C. J. Smith's outspoken statements for the single item veto are winning many supporters, continued Mr Reames. "He has impressed Jackson county generally aa being a most esti mable man. "At Medford the other night, when Mr. Rosenthal began passing out his questions, with which he has been fol lowing Senator Chamberlain during his tour of the state, the audience keenly resented the action, and I believe. Ros enthal would have been manhandled had not the senator cautioned his friends beforehand to not pay any at tention to the man." Speaking ih his own ward and to neighbors among whom he has lived for 21 years, A. F. Flegel, Democratic candidate for congress, was given, a most cordial reception at the Peninsula school last night. Other speakers were Sheriff Tom Word, candidate for re election; Harold Warner, speaking in support of Dr. c J. Smith for gov ernor, and Colonel Robert Miller, speaking in behalf of Senator Cham berlain and Mr. Flegel. Mr. Flegel referred to his early life in Ohio on the farm, and how he had worked his way up in the railway serv ice from laborer to - train dispatcher, of his experienee in the lumbering and wholesale mercantile business, and his study of the law and practice of his profession in -Portland. He pointed out that he had raised and educated his seven boys and two daughters in the city schools and Oregon colleges. and was in every respect imbued with western ideas and civilization. He said his life in Pprtland was an open book. He had served his ward three years in the city council and had given the city's business the best that was in him and he thought he had a right to assume that if there was much to criticise in his character, qualifica tions, experience or ability, it would have developed in the past five months. Administration Heeds Support. He said he also assumed he was as well qualified as the other candidates for the office of congressman, and if so, he thought there were two good reasons for his election. 'The national administration Is In the control ofj the Democratic party," he said. "The administration needs congress to support it and its policies. There is a vat difference between the Oregon legislature and the congress of the United States. The legislature is in sesion for but 40 days in two years, and then solely as a legislative body. The congress is also a law making body, but it Is vastly more. The administration must have the sup port of congress or miserably fail. The congressman is also the agent of the state, and during the recesses of congress his most important labors he caught them smoking.

Some instruments that are worth $1000, $1100 and $1150 in the regular retail way can now be had (upright pianos, player pianos, or baby grands) for only $385.

This means instruments valued at $200, $250 and $300, for $98, $118 and $145. Although this may seem an im possibility, every advertisement ; of the Eilers Music House is true. Let us prove it.
