ONO WILLIAMS
4 MULTIPLY
MEETING LAST NIGHT MADE 1T
4 EOOk AS IF ARMoRY WOULD
be NECESSARY FOR NEXT
GATHERING.

tic meeting of the present mayor
atty campaign was held last night
at the republican headquarters on
First avenue. Every available foot
of space in the room was occupied
and the sidewalk in front was
damned to the curb line. Some one
suggested to get the armory," and
it is believed that it could have
been filled had the meeting been
billed for it.
After the formalities attending
the meeting of the city committee
were ever, the speechmaking was
set in motion by Senator Harry
Rosenhaupt, who was in the best
of humor and gave each of the
"spellbinders' most happy intro
duction. Senator Rosenhaupt ex-
pressed his belief in Bryan's cam
paign slogan, Shall the people
rule?' as being applicable to the
present mayoralty race. Ono had
received 1854 votes in the primary
and Pratt something over 900,
which is a criterion, the speaker
said, of how the people felt on the
question.
E. F. C. Van Dissell made his first
political speech, in which he in
sisted that it was incumbent upon
voter, as a question of honor, to
support the nominees of his ticket
in the primaries. On this. basis,
ONO should receive 10000 to 1900
for Pratt. Some one in the audi
ence shouted, Made it unanimous"
He referred to the advisory commit
tee plan of Mr.. ONO being followed
in Portland with good results.
Deputy Prosecutor c. G. Crom-
we'll made hit by referring,
through slip of the tongue, to the
audience as gentlemen of the
jury" He said the application of
the principle of the golden rule was
the issue in the mayoralty fight. He
endorsed the advisory committee
plan and urged the biggest majority
for ONO ever given candidate for
mayor.
Ed Cullen said he thought there
were no members of the Equal
| Rights club, of which he is presi-
dent, who cared to build an addition
! to the Review building as a result
4 Of this campaign Neither would
they vote to let Jim Hill build his
Great Northern road up Riverside
avenue. He said the working men
were for ONO first, last and all the
time.
John G.. Brill court stenographer
demonstrated that he is the official
calculator in the campaign. He pre-
scented a series of figures on the re-
suits, in the final analysis of which
he gave Ono a majority of 2163. He
gave ONO his vote in the primaries
one-half the vote of the other repub
lican candidates, onefourth the volc
cast for Laumer and $40 of the new
registration, making total of 1856
as against 5193 for Pratt.
J. r. Sovereign, a democrat and
former well known labor leader, de-
livered a ringing address for ONO
He said that Pratt was not demo
crat but an autocrat; that he nc
more represents democracy ant
labor in this fight than Jesse James
did Sunday school. He called the
Spokesman the knight er
rant of political corruption, and sale
that the best thing it ever con
tanned about him personally wa:
when, three years ago, it announced
his death and printed his biography
on the strength of a statement of ;
doctor to cub reporter that h,
would be dead within an hour. H,
said the silk stockinged, brass but
, toned, tight. laced gentlemen. WIFI
are ever at the beck and call of tn,
Review, compose the chief follow
, ing of Pratt while the confirmed
dyed in the wool, mossback demo
| Gratis like himself are supporting
ONO, because he represents tn
, plain people. Sovereign. referring
, to Pratt, said that he lacked word
I to express his contempt for a maj

hours in his private business an,
