Dr. Wil liam Hiram Foulkes and Dr. Fletcher Unman, president of Willamette Univer sity. The programme was so arranged that the audiences In each church heard all four subjects discussed. It 'Was a Tvel plan that proved a bis- drawing feature and the changing of subjects and arrivals of new speakers had the effect of keeping each audience Intensely Inter ested. Half-Hour Speeches Made. Each speech lasted about a half hoar. Automobiles carried the ministers from church to church and their speeches were timed so that there was no delay. The Albany Business Men's Quartet sang t each church and special music filled In waits so that none of the audiences grew tired. While four subjects were discussed ty eac h minister, the text was not ad hered to strictly by any one of them. XIach spoke extemporaneously, and if an opportunity presented itself to snake a point in favor of prohibition, whether It was germane to the eub- Ject or not. It was driven In. ham mered down and sealed for election day. No matter what the subject, the Greater Oregon Home Rule Association came in for a drubbing and its speak ers were made the targets for harsh criticism, ridicule and witticisms. Last Topic Popular. Perhaps the greatest interest cen tered in the snbject. "After the Bat tle. What?" None of the ministers would concede defeat, but in that event, announced that another cam paign to make Oregon dry would be gin Wednesday morning. However, this was a contingency that the speak ers mentioned as almost an impossi bility and predicted that Oregon would go "dry- by an overwhelming majority. If the Prohibitionists win. It wss an nounced that efforts will be directed to enforcing the prohibitory law. Officials were warned that If they eta not enforce they would be recalled who would enforce the law. In short. the ministers said It would be a test rase, whether or not prohibition could be made to prohibit. ItrU) Supply Pulpit.
