"I promlaod you that this would be a bigger Joke than our first lesson. "After our big 'hurrah meet ing' in Pittsburg, the Political Department of tho Millionaires called us Field Agitators In ami gavo us our Program. They said that tho Tldo of Commerce would begin shifting when tho Pnnama Canal whs complotcd und that thoy would havo to get Busy and begin getting a grip on tho Legis latures of the Pacific Coast. I never know that there woro such Shrewd Politicians In tho whole world until thoy got us Into that room, Thoy explained to us that, through the different Millionaires In tho Anti-Saloon League, they could Pull Strings on a lot of Rich Men In all three Pacific Coast states. You see they own ed a lot of Natural Resources out here already or were Silent Part ners In a lot of Corporations whose officers and Actlvo Heads thoy could Twist around theta Thumb, Thero were groat Iron and other Mineral Deposits In these states; tho timber resources of theso three states were tho gratest In tho whole country; tho Power Possibilities were Immense and these Millionaires Wanted Them. "But, you see, children, they could steal most of those Re sources by merely stealing the Legislatures. Thoy wouldn't havo to pay a Cent for them. Isn't that the Simplest Thing in High Financing .children, you ever saw? IVUlte, I shall send you home if you don't atop laughing. But whon they handed ns our Program, with tho Three Differ ent Prohibition Issues for the Three Different Pacific Coast Btates' all nicely typewritten, I cotold hardly keep my own face straight. But I thought of my now Job of Fooling tho People and that sobered mo up. These politicians explained to us that we should rcmembor that we were not working for True Temperance but for Votes, be cause It takes Votes to Get Leg islatures. They told us thoy did not ex pect to Get tho California and Washington Legislatures this First year, but that Oregon Voters Possibly might be Fooled. Tho peoplo of Oregon, they told us, had swallowed about every brand of Freak Legislature, If enough Hysteria and Emotion had been put Into it. Of course, children, we are forc ed to admit that if wo wore work ing for True ToSnperanco In Ore gon we would have to prohibit tho "Manufacture," "Sale," "DIs tributlon," "Use" nnd, "Giving Away" of Alchollc Beverages for "All Purposes." But we felt that we could fool Enough of tho Vot ers of Oregon by Prohibiting the "Manufacture" and "Salo" of AN cohollc Beverages to capture the Legislature. So you see we cross ed out the words "Distribution," "Use nnd Giving Away in the Ore gon Issue. Ab you think this over, children, you will see how this Clever Little Piece of Poli tics may get us Enough Votes to Get the Legislature. We didn't have a ghost of show of Getting the Legislature 'without doing It. : The peoplo didn't generally know It, but wo already have qulto a number of Members of tho Legislature now In all thrco states, Including Oregon. So, even thpugh wo didn't carry the Prohibition Amendment hore in Oregon this fall, if wo elect en ough "Prohl" members to give us a majority, wo don't care a whoop whether our Brand of Prohibition-succeeds or not, Tho Politicians told us that thoy didn't havo a chance with in Two Hundred Thousand Votes, of carrying California, but thoy wanted to use tho Issue In that state for Campaign Purposes In states to tho Eastward, You see tholr grip on tho Legislature has been slipping In Colorado, Ohio, and Virginia, where they have been doing some rotten work with their worklngmen. These are tho only other states where they are making a FIGHT FOR TEMPERANCE this year and they are trying to save their face In thoso states by pointing out WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR, nlaetashrd shrd shrd shrdUhrd IN CALIFORNIA, So In the California Issuo they left the word "Distribution" in. Even at thut, they Figure on capturing some more members In the Cal ifornia Legislature this fall. We- all had a good laugh when the Washington Issue was decided on. The politicians explained that the Washington Voters wouldn't wouldn't begin to vote for what the Oregon Voters would, so they Figured out that they would make the County Audi tors the Official Barkeepers of that state. So they scratched out every thing that would mean True Tern- teranco except the word "Hw facture" and arranged for Washington Vo'ten, Man cr Tr man, that they mr J"!
