Election - matter has deluged the Portland postoffice within the last few days, beyond all precedent, ac cording to Postmaster Myers. The cancellation machines showed that on Thursday 349.000 pieces passed through thp office, breaking all rec ords for any one day in the history of the office. The day's business was larger by 10 per cent than the busi ness during the biggest day last Christmas season. The enormous quantities of cam paign literature being mailed out by the candidates for office, the still greater amount of literature on argu ments for and against the Initiative petitions have been successfully coped with, however. Postmaster Myers says the worst Is over and that after next Monday, despite It being a customary heavy day, carriers will be able to make their regular routes on schedule. IS FOR ROAD BONDS, SO SAYS ROY W. MINER Thousands of Dollars Paid Out Heretofore,, but- None Given Eastern Oregon. Umatilla county Is naturally Inter ested in the passage of the $6,000,000 state road bond because it insures a square deal for Eastern Oregon, said Roy V. RItner of Pendleton. ' "Since the state highway department was organized" Mr. Ritner continued, "Umatilla county has paid into the state road fund approximately $40,00), or $10,000 a year, and has not been al lotted one cent for road construction. Under the pending bond bill the county will receive Its share. "Another reason why we favor the bill is that It provides a means for getting good roads without any addi tional cost to the general taxpayer. The quarter mill tax which we are now paying and the auto license fee will pay the interest upon and retire the bond Issue. "Other reasons for supporting the bill are: Because Multnomah county, ' which pays about 40 per cent of the highway tax and auto licenses, is to receive no dirqyt benefit, but is to contribute Its share to the other counties; because we need the roads os soon as we can get them; becauss the highway commission is composed of business men who will safeguard the expenditure of the funds and pay no royalty on patented pavements; because the commission will use com mon sense and not Issue bonds or let contracts if labor conditions and prices of material are abnormal; be cause when the state takes over the trunk TOad in. each county from 25 to 60 per cent of the county road funds will be available for improving the lateral and feeder roads and because the war department and the National Council of defense have requestedlfche people of the nation that at this time they should speed up and go ahead with their usual activities, especially in Increasing agricultural production and building good roads."

WOMAN RECALLS DAYS WHEN BAKER SPURNED PLEAS FOR CLEAN CITY Mrs. M, L, T. Hidden Says Best Interests Will Be Served by Electing Daiy. ADDRESS MADE VOTERS When Baker Was Member of Old Coun cil He Always Toted to X.t Sires and Pitfalls Bemaln. Contending that the official record of Will H, Daly entitled him to elec tion as mayor, and that the best in terests of the city would be served by his election, Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden, in an address at Central Library hall, strongly urged the voters to rally to his supporton Monday. "They say that either Baiter, or Daly wiU, be mayor." said Mrs. Hidden. "try well then, let it be Daly, a man with a clean record and one j whose entire public career has been a courageous fight for the safeguard ing of the womanhood of the city. Women Bexnember Baker "I Well remember in the old coun cilmanic days that George Baker al ways turned a deaf ear to women ap pearing before the council to protest against saloon grilles and other vice dens. "I remember when girls in their teens were nightly seen staggerin-j out of such dives as the Quelle, tthe Louvre, the rotten Richards hotel and other pitfalls that at one time flour ished here. "But Baker's vote has always been for these disreputable places and his voice -has always been heard pleading their cause. "The vice denizens of the city are already boasting of how they will be allowed to flaunt themselves if Baker is elected mayor. We are at war, and the fathers and brothers of our women may be called away to defend our country. I insist that Baker is not the man to have in the mayor's chair. Every woman should vote for a clean man and the man is Daly. Thoughtful Cltlsena Advised "Daly has tried to serve all the people and I think ho has succeeded admirably. They attack his meter policy when they know that meters save money for the water consumer. With a meter my bill la now less for three months than it used to be for one month under the flat rate. Yet they say because of thie policy Daly is a radical. "Daly is a safe and conservative business man in spite of all misrepre sentation to the contrary, and he Is the one man to guard our womanhood. I advise all thoughtful citizens to vote for him."

MORGAN BUILDING DALY OUTLINES STAND MUNICIPAL ISSUES AT ST. JOHNS MEETING "I Stand for Upbuilding PorK 'land and Peace and Hap piness of People," Contending that he had always op posed the purchase of private water systems at extravagant prices by the city as a matter , of good business policy in the interest of the taxpayers of the city. Will H. Daly, outlined his position on municipal issues before an enthusiastic meeting at St. Johns lant night. VI have consistently opposed the purchase of the private water systems at extravagant prices." said Mr. Daiy. "I opposed the purchase of several of these little systems which were not capable of serving their communities and I have always contended that the city should rather build water systems not only capable of taking care of th Immediate needs of the section served, but sufficient to provide for future growth. "I opposed the- purchase of the St. Johns water system for the reason that at the present time It Is Inade quate and there is little fire protection. I proposed that the city build a sys tem on a much larger scale and with, greatly Increased fire protection, which could be done for very little more expenditure than was demanded for the system now in use in the St. Johns district. ' "In" every case my position has been verified by experience and in the St. Johns district we have begun rebuild ing the water system. New supply mains are being laid In order to aban don the old tank construction which is dangerous both to water supply and the property Interests in St. Johns. These tanks are to be abandoned In the very near future, as soon as the new supply mains are completed. We find it necessary to relay a consld i erable portion of the old system in order to benefit the service and to give more fire protection.
