CIESY NOW
CANDIDATE
FOR MAYOR
Alderman Enters Race
Today and Outlines
Plans; Is Held To Be
Strong Contender

John B. Giesy, alderman from
the fourth ward and one of the
most potent figures in the Salem
city council, announced today
that, in the May primaries, he
will be a candidate for mayor.
"A progressive, economical
business administration without
waste or extravaganza is what l
propose to offer the people in case
they see fit to elect me-" Mr.. Giesy
said in making his announcement
Mr.. Giesy served as acting may
or recently during the illness of
Mayor George e. Halvorsen. He
is chairman of the street comsAit-
tee of the council and is a mem
Der of the police committee. Dur
ing his term as an alderman he
has been extremely active and a
number Of city officials today ex-
pressed the BELIEF that he will put
up strong race.
Views Are Given.
Il have always believed that a
city's business can be conducted in
the same manner as q private
business" Mr.. Giesy said. Il be-
lieVe that officials should feel the
same sense of responsibility, and
if l am elected l intend to take
this attitude"
Like Mayor Halvorsen, Mr..
Giesy says he is a strong believer
in a commission form of govern
ment and he is of the opinion that
the chief of police should be ap-
pointed by the council, rather
than elected by the people by
having him appointed by the
council, rather than the mayor,
the danger of a one-man rule is
eliminated" Mr.. Giesy pointed
out.
Lived Here 80 Years.
Mr.. Giesy, who has lived in Sa-
lem for more than 80 years, has
served as member of the city
council for two years. He has been
associated with the state indus
trial accident commission since
July /, 1914.
Mr.. Giesy is the first man form
ally to announce he will be a can
didate for mayor. Rumors circu-
lated to the effect that l.. J. Sim
eral, member of the Salem school
board, and DR.. F. l.. Utter, another
councilman, will be candidates
have thus far not been substan-
tiated. Police Judge Earl Race,
who was once held to be possible
contender, has formally an
nounced that his name will not be
used.
Mayor George e. Halvorsen an
nounced several days ago that he
will not seek a second term. Mr..
Halvorsen, who is also chairman
of the Salem school board, said
that, at the close Of the present
year, he will devote his attention
to personal matters.

REVISION
IS AGAIN
REFUSED
Third Attempt to AL
low Outside Nations
to Participate In
Treaty Defeated

Washington, March 15.-
An agreement for a final vote
on the four power Pacific
treaty on Friday, March "a
was said by leaders Of all
senate factions today to have
been agreed upon in private
negotiations. Under the pro-
posed agreement debate
would be limited early next
week and the vote on ratifica-
tion on the following Friday.
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1922-03-15

Washington, March is. 49, For
the third time the senate defeated
today an effort to amend the four
power treaty to permit participa-
tion of outside nations in interna-
tional conferences over controver-
sizes arising in the Pacific.
An amendment for that pur-
pose by Senator Pittman, demo-
crat, Nevada, similar to two on
the same subject, rejected yester-
day, was defeated, so to 2S. The
treaty opponents indicated, how
ever, that they would bring the
proposal forward again later In
the form of reservation in the
hope that they might secure the
support of number of senators
who object to all amendments as
a matter Of principle.
The party alignment on the
amendments was virtually the
same as that which yesterday de-
feated similar amendments. Ex-
cept for temporary absentee, the
same few republicans and demo-
Gratis left the majority OF their re-
spective parties.
Defends Amendment.
The practical effect OF the
amendment, Senator Pittman said,
would be to confine the group of
nations affected to Russia. China,
the Netherlands and Portugal. He
explained that he offered it be-
cause of objections that yester-
days proposals were so broad as
to virtually bring the whole world
under the scope OF the treaty.
A propaganda" favoring un-
qualified ratification OF the four
power treaty was charged by SEN
ator Pittman, who said that those
responsible apparently were well
meaning but did not know what
the pact actually contained.
Great church bodies" he said,
represented by executive commit
tees composed of perhaps a dozen
men and claiming to represent
hundreds of thousands. are sign
ing petitions for ratification of
this treaty as 1t Is. How many of
these hundreds OF thousands have
read the treaty? How many of
those Christian people do you
think would ask for ratification II
they knew that it contained no
provision for consultation except
between four powers?"
Not Test Vote
Leaders on both sides in the
treaty of senate sentiment on the
question of ratification itself,
little significance could be at
tached to the 80 to 55 vote by
which 1t rejected yesterday the
amendment Of Senator Robinson,
democrat, Arkansas, designed to
extend the benefits of the treaty
to non-signatory nations whose
interests s,sre affected, With IL
short of the full membership pres
ent and voting, the opposition
forces marshaled 26 democratic
and four republican votes,
This was within two of third
of the full senate membership,
but three less than enough to up
set the two-thirds NEEDED for final
ratification II all senators partici-
pate In this vote. A similar amend
ment by Senator Walsh, democrat,
Montana, was voted down, "a to
so.

"Al right, Lye," she managed to say.

80 1t came TO pass that nightfall
found Polly Hopkins struggling up the
hill to the railroad tracks. She turned
south on the boulevard and stole eau
tiously along the edge Of the road.
She had no desire to meet Old Marc
or Evelyn. As she went on she muir
mured to herself some OF the love
words Granny Hope had planted in
her memory, and when she turned into
the carriageway leading to the Rob-
ertson home, she held her head a little
higher and walked with less nervous
ness.
Around and around the house she
crept, until with trepidatlon she
mounted the steps leading to the front
porch and tiptoed to a long French
window. 1t was partly open and there,
seated before a table, was the man she
sought.
Polly knocked once, but the sound
was so faint Robert did not hear 1t.
"Hist," came from between Polly's
lips. and the young man glanced up.
At the sight Of her he got to his feet
slowly. Then Polly showed the win
dow open a crack and squeezed into
the room. @
A strange mixture of conflicting eX-
pressions swept over his face, but
pleasure at the sighc Of her Dredomi-
mated them all.

would set her free! She studied Mac

gathered her into his arms and rained
kisses upon her face.
