K. D. lnman, Citizens' Candidate for
Mayor, was escorted to the baM by 200
laboring men, preceded by the American
flag and a band of music, and his ap
pearahee was the signal for vociferous
Cheering.
, "William Beavls, foreman; Tom Wolfen
, bergcr, chief engineer: Mr. McComber,
yard foreman; Mr. Seeley, sawyer, and
'between .100. and 200 other employes of
lnman.' PoUlsen ft Co. 'a mills were in the
lead of the procession, all the men bear'
Ing torches.
. .v Eeat Side Ladies' Quartet.
' A pleasing feature of the meeting was
the first public appearance of the East
Side Ladles', Quartet, its membership be
Ing the Misses Pauline De Witt, Edna
Klippel, Carrie Ladd and Minnie Pryor.
The young ladles displayed a marked pro
, flciency In their vocal efforts and the
applause that greeted them manifested
In "no small degree the high appreciation
of the hundreds of listeners to their melo
' dious voices.
' Frank D- Hennesay also assisted In the
musical part of the meeting, and proved
himself the 'same old favorite and sur

r', V A Veteran Presided.
' D. J. Blakely, president of ,the Ninth
Ward Citizens' Club, called the meeting
to order, stating that he had been re
' quested to preside, but ha desired to
waive that privilege as one too young,
. when there was present one who, when
- Lincoln made his first call to arms, was
among the Qrsty to respond, and later,
wherf' President McKlnley called for vol
unteers, sent two of his sons to stand by
the, flag In the Philippines. He then
. asked J. L. Wells to preside over the
. meeting, who, was escorted to the plat
form by William Gatens, when the entire
audience arose and sang the first stansa
.-Of the' national emblem, "My Country,
Tls of Thee."
J. , Werlein's Speech.
. Chairman Wells, after making a few
felicitous remarks, introduced J. E. Wer
leln, Cttlsemf candidate for City Treas
urer, as the first speaker, who prefaced
his remarks by saying that when the
best element of the -Republican party
find it necessary to leave their political
Organiaxtlon and join In a non-partisan
1 Citizens' movement, something was es
sentially wrong. The Republican party
s known hitherto In Multnomah Coun
ty was dead. It was not his Intention to
read any one out of Ills party, neither
did he want to be read out of the party
of Lincoln, Grant, McKlnley and Roose
velt; but he and bundtseds of others could
- not affiliate with the party of Jack Mat
thew under the disguise 'of being the Re
publican partje." rHe urged all to support
the 'Citizens' ticket at the next election,
and to pay particular attention to its
legislative candidates, so that he proposed
charter canbe returned to the people Just
as they presented it to the Legislature
for legal enactment and so prevent' Jack
Matthews from either killing or so
emending it that on its return it wen Id
never be recognized by those who had
given so much of their time and labor
to its perfection? The only sure way of
doing this was to smash the ring by
electing, the Citizens' ticket.
Dr. Lane Spoke.
Dr. Harry Lane, who has lived on the
East Side most of his life, found himself
among true and loyal friends last night.
Most of those present had known him
for years, many from boyhood, and his
. reception must have been extremely
- gratifying to him. Dr. Lane impressed
upon the minds of all- present that the
Citizens' movement was neither Demo
cratic nor Republican, so far as parties
, go. The better element of the Republi
can party had broken aw.;iy from a gang
who wanted to rut; politics in their own
peculiar way, John d liundti with other cit
izens in the effort to rid Multnomah
County from ring rule.
'. "We appeal to you," he said, "as good
dtlsensl not as Democrats, not as He-
- publicans, to uupport us in our effort. It i
is a laudable one and we want your in
dorsement. To Laboring Men.
'"Laboring men have been told to keep
ut of politics and leave It to their bet
ters, a? iney were unable to govern
themselvts. We have recognized the la
boring men on our ticket, and ull we
. ask is to give us a chance to keep our
pledge to give to you an administration
ef affairs tlmtt.wiH commend itself to
all. 1 want to weigh my words well and
be as mild as I can in my remarks.
yVe have a paper here, the Oregonlan.
It has been amongst us for 50 years. It
h been unfair; it misleads the people,
when a communication Is sent to it,
ill .the, Weth are pulled out of it, and
It is published under headlines entirely
misleading. ' Its editor .becomes Intolerant
Uke a tyrant impatient of an opinion ex
pressed not in accord with his own. We
k yon. we expect you to vote the CHI
ions' ticket. Vot It as a whole. Vote
it to -save the charter, If , that charter
Jver gets "into the hands of Jack Mat-
' thews, there won't be much of it left."
- f; Judge Dell St uarf. "
Judge Dell Stuart who is not a candl
U for efBoa, but a strong supporter of
the Cltisens' movement, spoke of the
principles involved In It. ,He believed
it was not only time to talk, but to think
and to work, as there were serious ques
tions that demanded careful considera
tion. ' "
VTou are told," he said, "that the effort
to elect a thoroughly independent ticket
is a political movement. Is It true? I
am perhaps as ardent a partisan as ever
tralneu under the banner of Democracy,
and I want to say that there is not a
particle of politics in this Cltisens' move
ment. Its one object, its single aim is to
secure to the people of Multnomah Coun
ty good government.- .
No Dictation.
"It Is not necessary for any Bet ot men
or any party to dictate to us now to man
age our local affairs. We can support
a Citizens' ticket with the sole desire of
securing the greatest good to the greatest
number, and be Just as good a Republ
ican, just as good a democrat, as ever,
when It comes to a matter of national
affairs. Elect the Citizens' ticket and
you put Into office men who are respon
sible not to any party but to the people,
and no man will accept such a trust
from you and maladmlnistrate his office.
It will be to the people that our Citi
zen candidates will hold themselves ac
countable. We want to cut off party die
tation and manage our own affairs, and
the only way to do so is to vote for the
Citizens' ticket, whose candidates stand
before you as representatives of a move
ment that gives assurance of better gov
ernment to all."
Applauded lnman.
Robert D. lnman was vigorously ap
plauded when Chairman Wells mentioned
him as the next speaker. He spok
briefly, keeping up his record as a man
of few words, but he says what he has
to say in an effective and convincing
manner. He said that the political con
dition existing in Portland today, if per
petuated threatened the near future, and
the Citizens' movement was a spontane
ous effort to rid tne people from the
scourge of ring rule. It means some
thing serious to Republicans and Demo
crats alike, and it Is something that all
good cltisens have a vital Interest in. It
la In the hope of securing good govern
ment that men have risen above all party
affiliations. Such movements only arise
in cases of necessity. We have had thera
before because they became necessary,
and they have always produced good re
sults. Two years ago the Citizens elected
an independent legislative delegation, and
the direct result was goou laws tor Mult
nomah County. Now we are engaged .In
a like movement, only broader In scop.
taking In every county and city office.
Not a man on the Citizens' ticket sought
a nomination; but, .being selected, has
accepted it as a duty, we have laborers,
machinists, engineers, carpenters, law
yers and even a doctor on the ticket, and
all are good, responsible men.
Nomination Unsolicited.
"So far as my own nomination la con
cerned, it came unsought. I did not want
It, for business reasons. I have accepted
It as a public duty I owe, and I am
going to be elected. I want the entire
Citizens' ticket elected. I want the can
didates for the Legislature to be parti
cularly remembered, so that we can se
cure the charter that has been promised
us. . We intend holding a great Fair in
Portland. It will be the greatest event
ever witnessed In the Northwest, and it
will involve a great deal of work on the
Mayor, and this and other duties de
mand tnat.he divert his mind from a I
other business. I have made up my mind
to shoulder the load, and promise you I
will use my best endeavor to do the best
I can for the best interest, of the people
of Portland. That Is all the pledge i
will give you. Some have expressed the
fear that I would be dictated to by a
few. You need have no fear on that
score. All tne dictation tnat win nava
any Influence with me will come from the
people and not from any ring or clique."
Mr. lnman closed with an urgent ap
peal for all to vote for the Cltisens' ticket
from top to bottom, not to go to the
polls as .Democrats or Republicans, but
as citizens determined to secure to the
people good, honest and economical gov
ernment.
Mr. Moser Was Eloquent.
Q. C. Moser, candidate for the Legisla
ture, was the last speaker, making a
short but eloquent address and appealing
to all voters without distinction of party
to Join together in an undivided support
on the Citizens' ticket.

If You See It in the
Moyer Clothing
Ad. It's So.
The simpbst and plainest way to say
a thing Is the best way. This la the rea
son why the Moyer Clothing Company a!-
way prints in Its announcements "When
you see It In our ad., it's so." Nothing
ould be simpler than that, and the ex
perience of customers proves that the
words are literally true. The New Tork
Sun's greatest fame comes from th2
phrase, "When you see It In the Sun, It's
so," and the statement, backed up by the
record of the Sun, has become a house
hold word. In the same manner, Ben
Selling, proprietor of the Moyer Clothing
establishment, Third and Oak streets. Is
gaining a similar reputation for his mot
to, "When you see It in our ad.. It's so."
Not once has he failed in "making good"
on every advertised Item. He Is con
stantly offering startling opportunities
for bargains, and In each Instance the
Bale rproves genuine to the minutest de
tail. Take, for example, his advertise
ment In today's Journal. It contains three
distinct astonishing price cuts in different
lines of clothing. A reporter verified
each one by minute examination. They
are all genuine. The consequence is that
Ben Selling's selling is brisk.
KING EDWARD'S UNIFORNS.
In addition to the field marshal's uni
forms of the British army. King Edward

A FAIR ARGUMENT.
If Municipal Judge George J. Cameron
has conducted his office as It is said he
has, in an able, upright, Impartial man
ner, it is argued that he should succeed
himself. If he has not conducted it in
that way, the fact has not been made
known, even by his opponents , for that
poslton. And these gentlemen would
probably make public such charges, if
they existed.
Judge Cameron has made a most ex
cellent record In office. There has been
none ot those little tales of scheming, ac
ceptances of bribes, of debauchery and
association with evil characters for per
sonal gain that have marked some of
the administrations of that court. His
record has been clean, upright, honor
able, manly. He has been fair to all
classes, the meanest culprit receiving
equal justice with persons of highest
station.
On this record Judge Cameron appeals
to the voters of the City of Portland.
Shall that record be indorsed?
It ought to be.
FOR FIVE YEARS.
The Baker theater, which has been so
popular with the people of late, has been
secured by . George L. Baker for five
years. The venture, so far, says Mr.
Baker, has been In the nature of an ex
periment, but the large houses which at
tend nightly have convinced him that the
project Is well appreciated In this city.
An excellent stock company will be put
on tne boaras nexi season, Manager
Baker believing that to be the form of
amusement the people most desire, and
no effort and no expense will be spared
to secure such a company as will be a
credit to the house and emlnetly satis
factory to its patrons. The house will
close for the season in the early part of
next month, after which It will be thor
oughly remodeled, so that wher It re
opens. about the first of next September
it will be the neatest and brightest play
house In the city.

JOliLY UNCLE JOSH
r ; f,f ; j .'..;., ,i, j , , , :";',,...,"
. J3 Introduces His Yamhill County Relation jfjv
j to His Portland Friends.
May 11, witnessed "stir in a little vil
lage 'way down In Yamhill County, Or.
Surely nothlna but a wedding could
make "such hn excitement among the fe
male portion of the population, or draw
such a throng to the mtlt church on A
busy Week day as fathered there On that
bright May mornina. And a wedding 4t
was Miss Polly Summers and Charley
, whom ever- young man in the
church regarded as th luckiest fellow
In the country, had decided that this was
tne best day, inasmuch as it was tne
earliest posaio.e unuer the circumstances
in which to take each other tor better or
worse.
But a alight cloud rested upon the
groom's brow that morning, even as he
stood up beside nis pretty bride to re
ceive the minister's blessing. It shaped
itself something liae this:
'After this little business Is over, what
am I going to do with this little wife of
mine: wnere are we going to live ana
how are we soinz to suoaist?"
After ths ceremony, Just as Charley
nad safety guided his blushing orme
throush the ahowara at rice and Old
sboes, they were met at the church door
oy tne taon. Josnua Tompkins , irony
dear old Uncle Josh), on of the pioneers
of Multnomah County, rich, generous and
levelheaded. He x tended -nis congratula
tions to the young couple and ottered to
start tnem out in Ufa as a weaaing pres
ent, providing they would make their
home with him in Portland. .
"Of course, we'll do it. Charley," said
the happy little woman.
"By Jove! It's the very thing." said
Charley, and from that moment the ques
tion was settled, and a load was lined
off his mind.
"We've just got time to catch the morn
ing train at North Yaumill," exclaimed
Uncle Josh, "and when we gei to Port
land I'm ready to buy your outfit." ':
' : . .
After a pleasant ride through the
verdure clad pastures of the Willamette
valley they reached the city and were
taken at once to Uncle Josh's palatial
residence on Portland Heights, where an
elegant wedding breakfast awaited the
newly wedded pair.
After breakfast Uncle Josh said: "I
am ready to buy your outfit; so what s
first on the program?"
"Oh, goodness knows; there's lots to
buy," remarked Polly. .
"Then suppose we buy lots first, ' sug
gested Charlie.
"Oh, you've got ev great head for busi
ness,'' laughed Uncle Josh. "We'll, gp
right over to M. E. Thompson's real es
tate office, at 264 Stark. I can always de
pend on Mr. Thompson for bargains is
real estate 'because whatever he tells us
about property may be set down as solla
faet. He- controls a large list of desirable
reidences, as well as building lots and
ranch properties, and his Judgment -pa
the good things is par excellence. Mr.
Thompson is at present offering ta the
public the Williams-Avenue Addition, and
we'd better get there quickly and buy be
fore the prices go up. I do not know of
a better way for a young marrlea couple
to start in life than to begin by owning
their home, commented uncie Josn.
"The Williams-avenue property is the
choicest and cheapest ever offered in Port
land, and it Is selling like hot cakes.
The beauty about this proposition,' ex
plained Uncle Josh, "Is that one can buy
on easy payments. You can pay $10 a
month and get a home on the Installment
plan." The whole party visited the Williams-avenue
property and before return
ing Uncle Josh bought for his wards an
excellent building site in a most favorable
location, and he selected a choice block
of lots as; an investment for himself.
"Having provided a cage for the bird,
the next thing to look after is furnishing
for it," laughed Uncle Josh. Hereupon
Polly energetically declared that she had
heard so much about Henry Jennlng &
Sons, the furniture dealers, at 170-17 First
street, that she had decided to go there.
The result, was that they were ushered
Into such a bewildering display that the
girl was at a loss how to select. But she
soon yielded to the seductiveness of
magnificent parlor suite, dressers, chiff
onier and a handsome brass-trimmed bed
for each room. To this she added an
easy rocker for Uncle Josh, and didn't
forget a most convenient and ornamental
writing-desk for "hubby." After the
furniture had been selected, Mr. Jennlng
took the party throuen the carpet depart
ment. Here Pol lyi ordered linoleum for
the kitchen, Brussels for the library and
an Axminister for tne parior, naving
come to the -conclusion that Jenninc's nat
ures wera below he very whisper, of
competition. ,
At this point, somewhat to the confu
alon of Charley, the old man indulged in
a half-serious criticism of his personal
appearance. You are decidedly on style
Tor a townsman," said he, "and we'd bet
ter have a talk with Ben Selling, at
Fourth and Morrison, about some new
duds." After Charles had selected a new
suit of clothes from the piles of fash
lonable garments that cover the tables
of the extensively stocked store. Uncle
Josh declared: "Now you look like
newly married man." Before leaving,
naving round goods ana prices irresisti
ble. Charles also Invested In a complete
outnt of eents furnishings from tne late
style hat to a dozen shirts, and he read.
Ily admitted that Uncle Josh .had' taken
him to the right place when he took him
to lien Selling, the leading clothier, fur
nisher nd outfitter of Portland.
"Now," cried the old gentleman, "now
for a picture of this crowd, in good old
country fashion. We'll ko to Hofsteatef
Studio, the best place in town; a sky Hunt
equal to the best, and' beats tne band pho
tographing children. He can catch tnem
on the run. Hofsteater does not make a
good picture once ' In a while, but he
guarantees you a rich photo every trip.
In fact his work is just as good as the
camera and the Instincts of a true artist
can make them. His work is wonderful
in fidelity and finish. You can get any
thing In the way of pictures at Hof
steater gallery-from a stamp photo to a
full size enlargement from life." At the
gallery the whole crowd was photograph
ed in a group, and uncie joan oraerea a
dozen cabinets to distribute among his
frienda. (Uncle Josh's picture can be
seen at Hofsteater's studio.)
"Great smoke. Charley; Where In the
name of creation did you get that Btiipe?
mat s about the worst weea tnat ever
came in contact witn my oiractory
nervp," laughingly remarked Uncle Josh
"Step over here to the Schiller cigar fac
tory at Fourth arid Washington streets,
and get a "La Excellencla'r and then
you'll have a gentleman's smoke. You
must .have bought that cigar down at
North Yamhill. The Schiller factory
takes great pride In keeping its brands,
the "Schiller" and "La Excellencla," up
to the highest standard, and consequent"
ly they grow more popular every day."
Charley was so well pleased with the
'La Excellencla" that Uncle Josh treated
him to that he bought a whole box and
advised his uncle to do the same. The
matter was compromised by Charley
taking a box of "La Excellencla" and
Uncle Josh selected a box of the "Schil
ler," not forgetting to make notes ot the
Schiller fine display of other cigars, to
baccos, pipes and smoker's articles).
While Charley was taking a few shots
at the slot machine Uncle Josh became
busily engaged In scanning the base ball
scores, but was heard to comment that
the Portland team would haVe to get a
move on themselves if they wanted to
finish at the top of the column.
"Oh, uncle," exclaimed Polly, as the
Earty passed In front of Ellers Piano
louse, 351 Washington street, "I must
have a piano. Home would certainly be
a lonesome place without one, and you
know I could not bring mine with me
from the country." Uncle Josh was no
ticed to examine his bank book rather
lugubriously. "Well, I guess I can stand
lt,T'-he said, "but, by the way, what
piano would you most prefert";
"You know, uncle, I would hot have
anything but the best, and of course
that is the Kimball. For purity of tone,
lightness of touch, beauty of finish and
a whole lot of other good points, it hqp
no equal," "You couldn't choose a better
instrument." commented uncle.
Ellers Piano House also bandies the
world-famous Chlckering. . the dainty
and artistic Weber, the beautiful Vose
and other pianos and organs. . The whole
party went in and were shown through
the fine display of Instruments that cover
tbe Door space of this big establishment.
It did not takt Polly long to make her
selection from the tempting display. She
picked out one of the new style Colonial
Kimball uprights in fancy Ban, Domingo
mahogany case.
' "Oh, uncle,'" she said, "we must have
one of these Angelus Piano Players also.
Have a seat a minute and listen to It."
They were both simply carried away with
the musie produced by this truly wondew
fui instrument, and when finally Uncle
Josh was persuaded to try it himself, pro
ducing the same wonderful musical . ef
fects, although he had never taken a
lesson in musio In bis life and could not
distinguish one note from another, he
also capitulated Jtp Its charms. : Uncle
Josh was seen to 'So some figuring after
this, but after all the two inCrumenta
were dactied upon, and when Me had re
ceived the bill of sale for the two in
struments and all the music going with
the- Angelus had been selected he re
marked: "No use talking, these Ellers
Reople are strictly up to date. Why, here
i a little folding organ for $25 that one
can aimosi buck in nis pocket, ano mis
big pipe organ over yonder is certainly
wonderful. I 'don't believe there is a
store In the United States that has such
a variety of fine new pianos and .organs
to choose from, and .then in . these new
piano players, self-playing electric
pianos and land knows what not, Ellers
r-iano Mouse certainly excels them an."
If you are looking for the' best pianos,
at the lowest Dosslble nrices. and on most
favorable terms of payment, you will
surely make a mistake If you do' not
patronise Eilers Piano House. Best
pianos, lowest prices, easiest payment

I want to malca Vnn anmifllntoA with
Dr. B. E. Wright, my dental friend, and
nis associates, at Washington street,'
said the old eentlaman.
"Ugh! don't you mention false teeth to
me, cnea i-ony, "Oh, as for tnat.
laughed Unole Josh. "If you'll .only con
sult a good dentist like Dr. Wright In
time you can avert that catastroohe. He
is wonderfully exDert in savins: natural
teeth, and is assisted by an able staff of
asociates. it is tne aim of ut. Wright
to Save teeth and not to extract them if
it can oe avoided. He has a new method,
by which, teeth are treated without pain
and without the use of cocaine and other
dangerous drugs. Each department is In

mand an tne latest ana most scienttno
appliances known to the dental nrofes-
slon. Consultation is free, and the fees
are reasonable., just come up witn me

Uncle Josh was so well pleased with the

associates that he mads an arrangement
with Jthenx- to care for the teeth of his
niece laoa- an of nis xamnni county

"Well, young folks, I'm getting; hun

The whole fcarty went to House's Cafe,
