Selz MEN WOMEN i CHILDREN MARCH Prohibition Rally at Salem Brings Out Largest Crowd of the Campaign. MOTHERS TRUNDLE BABIES Liquor Issue in Marion County Over shadows Senatorial Fight School Children Parade at Eu gene and Med ford. . SALEM, Or., May 30. (Special.) In a parade five blocks long, probably the longest procession ever seen in Salem, the anti-saloon . workers .demonstrated their earnestness in a fight to be decided Monday, when Marlon County will vote "wet" or "dry." The procession was formed in "Wilson avenue and traversed the principal business streets to Marion square, where a number of addresses were made. The procession was made up of men, women and children, the most affecting feature of the demonstration being the mute appeal of a number of women who marched along pushing baby carriages. Numerous banners were - displayed bear ing legends, a specimen of which is, "You may vote a saloon for my boy, but I won't vote one for yours." The crowd at the square was the largest public gathering of the general campaign In Marlon County. So far as public interest Is concerned, the saloon question has apparently over shadowed the senatorial question here. In the matter of literature distributed and newspaper discussion on both sides, the work done has been far in excess of that done in behalf of all candidates of all parties in this county." It is be lieved that the vote on the liquor ques tion will be close. The liquor people have hopes of holding Marion In the "wet'' column because it is an extensive hop-producing county; because there Is a brewery located here and because a num ber of the outlying precincts are strongly pro-saloon. The anti-saloon people base their hopes largely ; upon the general trend of sa loon sentiment in the United States, and are encouraged by the fact that many merchants are turning against the sa loon because they believe they would sell more goods if the liquor dealers sold less. The killing of City Marshal Krechter in a drunken riot at Champoeg about two years ago and the killing of Theodore Goulson by "Victor D'Anna, who took his own life, something over a year ago, were incidents of which the anti-saloon people have 'made much In this campaign.
