by reason of the propaganda which
has been so effectively used in this

opinion on public questions. ; It
soeins to mo that the papers of
this state have not clearly explain

voted on by them.'

Out of four hundred papers in the
stale, only three weeklies opposed
Ibis measure. The people voted

power of tho press in Oregon.
How many papers In the state

five thousand, and will probably
