U'REN ANSWERED
I BY CHAMBERLAIN
Governor Replies to Oregon Legisla
, tir Blacksmith and Tells Why He
- ahould Remain In the Race la Order
to Protect Statement No. 1.
r Governor Chamberlain ban issued the
i following open letter to W. 8. U'lteu
i in reply to tliu hitter's attack upon
bun: ' ' 1 ' . -
"Corvollis, Or., May 21!. Hon. W. S,
' U'Ren, Oregon City. Oregon. Dear 8ir:
;; I take note that in vour advocacy of the
election of Mr. Cake you address ao
open letter to mo in which you Hay:
" '1 Because the Statement No. 1
principle has not yet gained a decisive
victory, and until it does the legislature
will not elect you or any other demo
crat. ' '
Foisted Questions for Mr. U'Ren.
"How do you know what tlio legisla
turo will dot How can you tell tint a
Meciaivo victory for the Statement No.
1 principle' is not in the minds of the
people already won, and that on June
1 the victory will bo signed, sculcd and
delivorcd, and in January ratified by
tho logislaturef
"Doos not tlio overwhelming victory
for the principle in tlio Into primaries,
conceded and acknowledged by nil, even
its opponents, presage such a victory
Juno 1?
"If you, if Mr. Cuke and other such
exponents of the measure, would de
vote all your powers to the election o;
candidates pledged to Statement ftn,
instead of Irving to cloud the issuo by
introducing partisan phases into the
contest, would not the 'decisive victory
for tho principle bo very inurli easier
of attainmontf
. "When you and Mr. Cake persistently
refuso to aid in tho election of such
' legislative candidates onlv as ore
pledged to this principle, are you not
to that extont doing all you can to in
jure the cause of Statement No. land
stubbornly standing in the way of n
..'decisive victory' for the principle?
"" Withdrawal Suggestion.
"You suggest that T should with
draw froinV(ho contest:
v " '2. Because your influence would
. be very much of renter for tho election
,of Statement '"0. hihiiiIk rtBf llm leg
islavure if you were onoly uu advocate
of tho principle instead of being a can
didate.' "If you believe that, why did you,
after explaining that you doubted the
sincerity of Mr. Cnlto as to Statement
No. 1, eomo out as u senatorial candi
date yoursolf in order to help on the
'dosieive victory' for tho principle?
"Jf your present contention is true,
why did you not proceed before the
people as an advocate and not as a can
didate, as you now advise me to do?
If yonr appearance as a senatorial can
didate seemed to you to strengthen your
hand as a Statement No. 1 oxponcnt,
then why does It not also ntrengtlion
my hand and furtbor tho causo of State
ment No. If
Necessary for Statement.
."If it-ws necossary for you to come
-out aa a oandidato as you then do
clared in order to force Mr. Cake to
take a decided stand on Statement No.
1, ia it not equally necessary now, Hincc
you have retired, for mo to stand ns a
oandidato in ordor to foroo you an wol)
aa Mr. Cako to occupy a decided atti
tude, toward the Bunio principle?
"Ib it not perfectly patent to you, ns
to multitudes of others in the state, thai
if I were not in the field as a Bona
torial candidate that Mr. Cake would
not, from the day after the primaries to
election day, ever have mentioned Htnte
ment No. 1, standing ns he does on nn
anti-Statement No. I platform niul bear
lug tho indorsement of an iintt-Mtnte
ment No. 1 convention?
"The fact ia that if you and Mr. Cak.
had placed tho principle involved it
Statement No. 1 above party and parti
Ban considerations you would both now
be in the field advising the election of
those candidntcB only, without regard
to party, who hnd pledged themselves
to Statement No. 1, as you both advised
the nomination mid election of such
candidates beforo tho primary election
Principle In Joopardy.
"Tho vacillating course of yourself
and Mr, Cake nn this subject endangers
the principle. This is the position which
I have taken; it is the position which
both of you should take, and. if you
would join with me, there is absolutely
no question but that the legislature
would be in favor of Statement No. 1
by a largo majority. I greatly fear that
you place your party above the priuci
. plo which you both advocated before
the primaries and about which you ex
pressed doubt as to Mr. Cake's sincer
ity.
"The responsibility for the defe.it of
the principle, if it should be defeated,
must rest with you and Mr. Cake, nml
not with me. Yours truly,
"OKO. K. CHAMT1KH1.A1N."

PROOF OF ARRESTS
MADE IN EUGENE
State af Oregon, County of Lane, ss.
I, Herbert Leigh, being first duly
sworn, sny that I am an export accouut-
ant; that about May 1, 1"H, 1 was
employed to make a transcript of the
docket of tho recorder's court of the
city of Eugene, Oregon, showing the
record of each case of drunkenness and
iolntion of tho city liquor ordinance
from July 1, 1004, to May 1, 10S.
That on Mav 1, 1H0S, I Bent to Mr.
Court Hall, at Medford, Oregon, a true
mid correct statement of the court
docket ns made by me and cheeked by
Mr. 1). P. Morris, the city recorder,
press copies of which are now in my
possession, snowing :a arrears ror
drunkenness during tho period of two
years prior to July 1, 11100, under li-
nnse, and loo arrests for drunkenness
and eight warrants for violation of the
city liquor ordinance during the period
of 22 months of prohibition.
That 1 have this day rcchecked my
opy of the court docket with tho re
corder, Mrs. B. F. Porria, and find that,
my report of Mav 1 is correct.
That 1 am just in receipt of a copy
of the sworn statement of E. A. Far
rington, city marshal of Eugene, Ore
gon, dated May 1(1, 1008, in which he
swears that "the records show 70 ar
rests for drunkenucss for the year prior
to local option nnd 4i) during tho first
year under local option."
That I have carefully checked the
docket with Mr. Dorris today, and wo
find that the records show 4 arrests
for drunkenness for the year prior to
local option and 05 arrests during the
first year under local option, and. Mr.
Dorris saya thatho has novor given Kd
Farrington nny such figures nro are
shown in his affidavit.

Prohibition Rule in Central Point
(Continued from Pago 1.) ,
Can still got their boo&o with as little
troublo us they could there 2.1 or 30
years ngo or ns they can today in Ccn
tray Point.
Two phases of this question just now
are worthy the serious consideration of
every voter in Ccntrul Point precinct:
Effect in Central Point.
First After four years' trial of lo
cal prohibition, with open saloons in
neighboring towns all around us, has
the morality of the community pcrccptl
bly increased? Has temperance been
promoted? Is there less drinking? Hnvi
we better local government than wi
hnd four years ago? Is there any high
er regnril for the law than fnrriierly-
iu tins connection it should In, noted
lliut every bottle or drink of liquor
which has been dispensed here for foul
y ins has b i iu direct violation of
the law nnd every miin or bov who h.
purchased it has aided nnd abetted the
lawbreaker and has fostered In his own
mind, perhaps without reuliy.ing it. n
growing distespi'et for all law.' Have
the boys of the community been protect
ed, or have they not rnther been "saved
from the saloon' and turned over to the
tender mercies of the bootlegger, who
plica his trade on the street, in the
shadow of the churches or wherever he
can separate the boy from his coin
This is not a theory; it is a lamentable
condition which confronts the column
n ity todny.
Pass the City Up.
Second Has the business of tho town
increased either directly or indirectly
as a result of prohibition f Are our mer
chants bettor able to hold the trade
which rightly belongs here because
those of their customers who miirht
me ,i Kin,, i hcit on a not rtav or a
glass of whiskitjrwi a cold day or ii glass
of something-J. nny old day can't
get what thotniit? Are our streets
like a glass of beer on a hot day or a
ass
Are our streets
better kept, the sanitary condition of
the town more wholesome and our side
walks in better condition since wo have
hnd this so-called prohibition, which
seems to prohibit nothing except a mat
icr or several hundred dollars of annual
revenue to the town? Does that in
creasing class of newcomers men of
menns and men of affairs from the
eastern states and from the cities of
the coast who are coming hero to in
vestt in the rich fruit lands that sur
round Central Point on every hand make
their headquarters here while looking
for a location nnd get tins settled, or
do they slop and spend their money
where they can secure first class ae
eommodntiona al a hotel which has
first-class, open bar? These men do not
go there primarily to patronite the bar
many of them may be total abstainers
but they go where the crowd is and
where the accommodations and com
furls largely, nerhans. made e.i.,l,l..
by the revenue from the bar are to
be found.
The Herald believes, conscient ioutlv
and honestly, that as a community we
would he better off under a ayst.m of
high license, with one decently con
ducted and properly regulated open bar
than we now are with our farcical pro
hibition law and that the hova of the
community would be much belter pro
tectwl from tho evil of strong drink
