PROM STATE FIGHT HANGS 01 IKIJ 'How Will Women Vote?' Each I Side Quizzes Other in Hot Contest. PORTLAND "DRY" IS AIM Salem, YVoodburn and Stajtpn Par ticipating in Local Option Battle. Church Members Sign Uquor . Men's Petition. . SALEM. Or., Oct 2D. (Special.) Y.'ith both sides confident of victor, the voters, of this city, Woodburn and Stayton will determine next Tuesday whether licensed saloons shall continue longer in these municipalities. The fight has been en exciting one and experienced politicians declare that the result Is in doubt. AU admit, however, that, as this Is the second county in the state as re gards population and wealth, the re sult will give a line on what may be expected should the home-rule law be repealed and a state-wide election on prohibition bo held. The prohibition ists are reported as planning, should they win at the coming election, to submit to the people in 1914 laws re pealing the home-rule amendment and a. state prohibition measure. How women will vote is puzzling both sides in Salem. The election next Tuesday will be the first time women will vote upon the liquor question in Oregon: what the prevailing sentiment among them Is cannot be determined until the votes are counted. The liquor interests declare the vote will be about equally divided, basing their assertion on voting in other states. Church Members Sign Petition. In answer, the prohibitionists say that in this city the majority of the women registered are church members. County Clerk Gehlhar declares that about 2200 women out of about 4000 entitled to vote registered. At the last election for local option in this city, held in 1908, the "wets" won by a majority of 60. The liquor men de clare that the majority among the men voters will bo greater this time. Both sides have made a stubborn fight, the main campaign of the sa loon men resting on a petition signed bv 25 of the leading business men of the town to the effect that prohibition does not prohibit, is more injurious to the morals of the city than the licensed saloon and is a distinct disadvantage from an economic standpoint. Several signers are church members and none of them is interested in a saloon, distillery or brewery. "We shall win by a majority varying from 900 to 1200," declared William H. Trindle, secretary of the Municipal League and leader in the fight to put an end to the licensed saloon. Fight May Go to Courts. John D. Turner, secretary of the Wel fare League, which is making the fight for the retention of the saloons, said he would not make any rash prediction, nor would any of the men associated with him. He declared that anything might happen, but it was his belief the "wets" would have a safe majority. Mr. Turner called attention to the in crease In taxes of various cities that liad gone "dry" and said the taxpayers of Salem would suffer if the "drys" won A report is current that, should the opponents of the saloons be victorious, the liquor element will have the propo sition threshed out in the courts. The Prohibitionists virtually admit that the only way to make Portland "ili-y" is to repeal the home rule amend ment and have the question voted upon by the state at large. If they win their fight in this county they declare their operations will be extended and not improbably a state-wide fight would result. MRS. DIXnVAY IS OPPOSKD Leading Suffragist Counsels Women Voters of The Dalles. THE DALLES. Or., Oct. 29. (Spe cial.) Leaders of the army which is fighting the movement to prohibit the pale of intoxicating liquors in The Dalles threw a bomb into the camp of the Prohibitionists today by making public a letter from Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, of Portland. In her commu nication to Peter Kuchnling, manager of the Hotel Dalles, Mrs. Duniway ad vised the -women of this city not to vote for prohibition. The leader of the Oregon suffragists Is opposed to the prohibition movement, as waged at present, on the grounds that prohibition doesn't prohibit, but fosters the breaking of laws and de ception. Mrs. Duniway says that if she were able she would come to The Dalles herself to assist in the battle. Mrs. Duniway's letter follows: "In answer to yours of the loth inst., I will say that I have reached trie age of 79 years and am practically a rheu matic cripple; otherwise I would be pleased personally to start a moral re form based ol human nature, human needs, human Justice, human freedom nnd common sense, but not under the prohibition movement as at present agitated, which proposes to confiscate property and destroy personal respon sibility. "I had the "honor to counsel the equal suffragists of San Francisco and Los Angeles to avoid extremes of any sort; end by their votes they have proved worthy of the trust bestowed upon them. "Let the women of Oregon rise to the occasion as the women voters of Cali fornia did. and the fame of their con servative action will prove that they, too, possess broad ideals. Prohibition uevpr did prohibit, but does engender law-breaking and deception, which it is our duty to avoid. Respectfully, "ABIGAIL SCOTT DUNIWAY."

FORMAL CHARGES MADE FORMER IIEVD OP 'GUSHJIAS ' SCHOOL WILL AXSWER. H. II. Johnson Declares There May Have Been Technical Violations, bnt Denies Any Wrongdoing. TACOMA. Wash., Oct. 29. (Special.) Charges made by the Congressional committee recently In Tacoma investi gating the. Cushman Trades School have been received by E E Johnson, former superintendent, against whom they are directed and who is under suspension. The principal charge Is Irregularity ! 'S-. ... GEORGE. in accounts. Of this Mr, Johnson said todayr "There Is no charge of dishon esty. I am accused of violating the letter of regulations, which are quite strict. I have 30 days In which- to answer and I shall, be able to show by affidavits and otherwise that not one penny of government money has gone astray so far as my handling of it is concerned. If there have been slight variations from rules, they always have been in the interests of the Govern ment and this will be made clear." Attempts were also made to show a wrongful attitude toward some of the Indian girls. Regarding this Mr. John son said: "There will be no difficulty in clari fying that matter. A fair hearing will remove any suspicions of the truth of such allegatons. Men in my position are always likely to be confronted by the- exaggerated stories of ex-employes and their friends. It is one of the troublesome phases of public service and If we are wise we are always in position to meet them when the tlmo comes. I am ready to meet these stories, and shall at once send my brief to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs." VOTERS ARE TO GO FAR RCXIXG IX HILXSBORO CASfi AF FECTS SHERWOOD. Citizens of Latter Town AVI1I Be Re quired to Ballot at Middleton on Local Option. IIILLSBORO, Or., Oct 29. Special.) If the decision of Judge Campbell that the county election boards are the prop er authorities to count the local option election for the city of Hillsboro if fol lowed, the voters in the incorporation of Sherwood must go one and one half miles away from the city boun daries to vote, as the polling place for the precinct is at the village of Middle ton. When Judge Campbell was told of this today he said: "The home rule amendment to the constitution gives the cities exclusive control of the saloon question, but the closing clause of that amendment says the local option law then in effect should apply. The County Courts should make units out of cities and incorpor ations so there would be no confusion, but where this has not been done I see no legal reason why the county election boards shall not count ths votes for license or no license. "The local option law gives voters the chance to decide the saloon ques tion, and as long as the election offi cials are legally appointed there can be no valid reason why Sherwood can not vote on the question so long as the vote is cast in a legal voting subdi vision. All that Is necessary is an extra ballot box. "The board at Middleton can declare the result, the vote will be canvassed by the County Clerk, and the county can notify tho city officials or tne re sult. "The same rule can apply to the Hillsboro vote, where the city takes up a portion of two precincts. LIQUOR CAMPAIGN , WARM "Wets" and "Drys" Both Confident of Xext Tuesday' Vote. SALEM, Or., Oct. 29.1-(Special.)The "wet" and "dry"- advocates are wag ing the most exciting campaign in the history of Salem and both sides are confident of .winning at the polls at the special election Tuesday, wnen local op tion will be the main issue. More than 2000 women have regis tered and the Prohibitionists say enough of these will vote to close the saloons to put an end to- tne sale ol Intoxicating beverages in this city. The liquor Interests, however, declare, that the vote of the women will be equally divided and that a majority of men favor the retention of the saloons. The "wets" won by a majority of 60 at the last election at which the ques tion was voted upon when only men had the right of suffrage. A number of prominent business men of the city have signed a petition to the voters urging them to vote to re tain the saloons on the ground that the closing of them would injure busi ness. The Salem German Society has adopted resolutions urging the reten tion of the saloons. Ccntralla Viaduct Opencfl. CENTRALIA, Wash., Oct ' 29. (Spe cial.)

HOOD RIVER. Or., Oct 29. (Spe cial.) With meetings In various parts of the district ti recall fight against the County Court continues. Leaders of the recall faction and supporters of the County Court both predict victory next Tuesday. A. L Mason, who Is one of the strongest ex ponents of the recall, declares that he is confident of electing his recall candidates. Supporters of the County Court say sentiment for the past two days has been ebbing strongly against the re call movement. The Rev. J. G. Tate, one of the prom inent ministers of tho valley, ex-pastoi of the White Salmon Congregational pi.n..h o-ai-A mil- a Rtatement. declar ing that the recall had behind it neither integrity, order nor honesty. State ments had been made that Rev. Mr. Tate would head the recall ticket. "1 have never attended a meeting of the recall people," says Mr. Tate. "I told them, when approached, that I would accept the nomination only if it came from the people unanimously." A. J. Friedly, who was one of the first to sign the recall, has declared that ha will make every, effort to kill the movement and to defeat the recall candidates. "I have changed my mind because I did not understand the sit uation nor the motives of those urging it" says Mr. Friedly. "In the past two days I have inter viewed not less than 75 citizens from all parts of the valley," said R. E. Scott today. "I found but six who fa vored the recall. The others tell me that they think the reasons too trivial to be taken seriously." The chief reason for the recall, as given by tho circulators of the petitions against the County Court, has been the alleged improper construction of the bridge across Hood River at Winan's Station. A series of photographs, pic turing the alleged defects, was car ried by each circulator, and through the representations made by these pic tures many signatures were secured. "Anton Flint, supervisor of the road district around the town of Dee. has declared that he visited the abutments of the bridge shortly after the commit tee had taken the pictures and discov ered that largo stones had been used In breaking the concrete foundation where the pictures were made.

BUDGET TANGLE TAKEN UP County and Town Share of Taxes Issue at Conference. ' . DALLAS, Or., Oct 29. (Special.) For the purpose of unraveling the tan gle In preparing the next school levy and budget for the county and to bol ster up the general road fund, a meet ing was called Monday between County Judge Teal, District Attorney Upjohn and Attorney-General Orawford at Sa lem. Several towns In the county have al lowed the county to expend money in improving county roads within their boundaries and have later, after im provements have been made out of the county road funds, created the town into a separate road district and have taken the attitude that as such they should receive the full benefit of all the taxes collected from the taxable properties in the road district assessed for road purposes. A conclusion was reached at the con ference held in Salem that such road districts, as all others, should be enti tied to 50 per cent of the amount raised out of the levy for county roads and that the remainder should go into the general road fund. So that hereafter each road district will receive 60 per cent of the amount levied against the property within the district and the balance will go to the general county road fund.

The custom of Internal Bathing for keeping the Intestines pure, clean and free from poisonous matter, curing con stipation, biliousness and the more se rious diseases which they bring on has become so universally popular and so scientifically correct in Its appll cation as to merit the most serious consideration. Drugs for this purpose have proven that their doses must be constantly increased to be effective; that they force Nature instead of assisting her. and, once taken, must be continued. On the contrary, the scientifically constructed Internal Bath gently as sists Nature, but is infinitely more thorough in its cleanliness than any drug, no matter what its nature. The "J. B. L.
