POWELL THE LEADING CANDIDATE
Until within the past few days it appeared to The
Evening Herald that the contest for councilman from
the second ward was between Z. J. Powell and A. J.
Lyle, both of whom stand for much in common. As
the campaign draws to a close, the Smith strength is
coming to the surface and today he occupies second
place, with Powell in the lead. The statement is based
upon a careful canvass made in various sections of the
second ward, two hundred voters having been sounded.
The result shows that unless the voters concentrate upon
one of the Smith opponents. Smith may be elected.
Since such a result is not desired by a majority of the
voters, it becomes necessary for them to concentrate
upon one of the two candidates opposing Smith and
since we find from our canvass that Powell is the stronger
of the two, we would recommend that those wishing to
insure the defeat of Smith should vote for Powell.
The only element of weakness developed in the
Powell campaign comes from his resignation as chief of
police. The reason for his resignation was this:
When he started in to clean up the city, his first move
was to notify a number of the property owners to ciean
up their premises or he would start abatement proceed
ings against them . Several of these owners got together
and planned upon a campaign against Powell, the pur
pose being to sue him for damages. This information
came to Powell and upon investigation he found that
he would be personally liable and that even if he won
in the courts, he would be subjected to heavy costs in
defending the suit. Realizing that such a campaign
could be carried to a point where it would bring ruin
to him financially, he decided to resign.
In defending such suits, it would be necessary for
Powell to have as witnesses individuals who would
swear that they patronized the establishments in ques
tion, that they knew of their own knowledge they were
operating against the law and tell how they knew it to
be true. The difficulty of securing such testimony is
rjeadily apparent and since it would be almost impossible
to build up a defense on the basis of general reputation,
as most of the property involved had not become notori
ous, the prospects of securing a substantial verdict against
Powell were very good. Viewing the situation as it
appeared to him, he decided that the cost would be too
great for him to bear, and he handed in his resignation.
Since that time there has been earned on a campaign
of villificationv and during the present contest these
stories have taken on ten league boots and on every
hand you will hear declarations of "positive knowledge"
that tilings are thus and so. The best answer to these
unfounded charges lies in Powell's record as chief of
police.
Powell's position on rnatters in which the people of
the city are vitally interested is well known. He is un
alterably for the Oregon Trunk; he is against the clos
ing of the streets and alleys in the southern part of the
city; he has always supported Mayor Goddard through
out his administration; he is a large property owner
and taxpayer and a man who has always had the best
interests of the city at heart. If he is elected council
man, the people of the second ward will be sure that
nothing in their interest will be overlooked by him and
when his term comes to an end, those today opposing
him will then be found in the canguard of his supporters.
We know that the vast majority of the people of the
second ward are back of Mayor Goddard in his stand on
the railroad question. They have an opportunity of so
expressing themselves tomorrow by electing a man who
is known to be in sympathy with every move the mayor
has made to protect the interests of the city. If they do
not avail themselves of the opportunity by electing .
J. Powell they will have made a grave mistake and
one that will undoubtedly prove costly to the entire city.

STEWART
Mr. Smith says he is for "the entrance of the Northern
lines into this section. At the same time I am not an
tagonistic to the Southern Pacific, for a I realize that in
the proposed development program lies one of the great
est boons to the development of Klamath." Now, you
can't have the "proposed development program" of the
Southern Pacific and the Northern lines, too. The S.
P. says that if you have the Northern lines, it will not
build. It has never straddled upon that point. Mr.
Smith does straddle. Mr. Powell does not. He is for
the Northern lines out and out. He says: "I am for the
Oregon Trunk, for we must have railroad competition.
If the Southern Pacific refuses to go ahead and build,
if we must choose between the two, then 1 stand for the
Oregon Trunk under all circumstances." That is just
the difference between the two men. He is not for the
Northern lines, or the Southern Pacific paper would not
be supporting him.
We find Mr. Smith silent on the question of forcing a
settlement of the $300,000 that the city has invested in
the Strahorn line. Mayor Goddard has again come to
the front with a sensible proposition, which the council
has tabled. On this Mr. Powell says: "No stone should
be left unturned to compel the repayment of the $300,
p00 that the city has put into the Strahorn line. That
