Booth, Republican cu dldate for United States Senator, an awered the question, "Where did you set It?" Republican pa pen bar railed the question for George E. Chamber lain, the Democratic nominee to an wpr, "How did you spend it?" Some Industrious digger has compiled the Hat of public offices Chamberlain has held since coming to Oregon from MiHsisslppl and calculates that Cham borlaln baa drawn down mora than 1100,000 In money contributed by tax payers. It is how Chamberlain spent this money that Republicans are curious. Onn nnwapaper editor recounts that Chcra'jprlain has been Attorney-Gen eral, District Attorney. Gorernor and United Slavs Senator, holding some of these offices more than on term, and that Chamberlain since entering public Ufa has scarcely ever been off thf? payroll, as he entered upon a new Job before the old one was worn out. In his explanation of "where be got It," Booth told the atory of his life. Democrats Bay that Booth Is an aris tocrat and dons not belong to the plain people. Booth's own narrative re counts how lie was one of a family of 12 children; that he lived In a log cnbln, worked on a farm and took his pay In chickens; punched cattle, herded sheep and otherwise helped support the family until he was 21 years old and paid for his first "store clothes" by gathering wool front bushes nnd taking the hides from sheep which died on the range. He struggled hard for an education and acquired it. He was a day laborer, and day laborers are supposed to e plain people. By Industry he met with success nnd associated with oth- I era he built up a sawmill Industry wnleh developed the timber resourrec of Interior Oregon. The following letter is submitted to tHe voters of Oregon by the Hop Growers and Dealers Association on behalf of 1,400 farmers representing 25.000 acres of land de voted to the Hop Industry of Oregon i For many years we have been engaged in the growingand marketing of Hops. One land is particularly suited for this purpose. Our work and our energy has for years been devoted to the development of this industry. The time has now come when you are being asked, by your VOTE, to ruin US. It is urged that we can "use this land to raise something else." This may be trj. How are we going to get along however while we are waiting to "raise" something else? YOU kno v that the hardest condition that a producer has to meet is the securing of a market for his product. How are we going to pet along until we secure that market? Suppose that we should decide to raise apples, prunes or loganberries, etc. You know the years it takes to develop them. How are we to get along in the meantime? You know that each of these products, and many others, are frequently a "plut" on the market. Suppose that we start to produce what you are producing Then you will have more competitors the market will be flooded YOU will receive less for what you produce. We fully realize that many sincere peppb favor State Wide Prohibition BELIEVTN'G that it will be the means of correcting the "Liquor Jiabit." This has NOT PROVEN to lie the ase, for the reason that FIFTEEN States, after a full and fair trial ranging over a per iod if from one to fifty years have REJECTED IT. Don't you feel that if State Wide Prohibit!-.- j id been b;::u-i":ci:d that those FIFTEEN Stat 'S that had it would have kept it and not h:-vc ' HI ECTE1) IT ? It having been proved a FAILURE in those States how can it be a Sl'CChSS IN OREGON? Thousands there are who favor Temperance but wh liaur the thought of Prohibition from a moral standpoint. Liquor far below 'the standard of whiskey is bawu! and sold with dea !y effect. Manhood and SELF KESl'ECT is weakened. Now education is accomplishing the u'tim ite Temperance and licensed regulation of an opei' traffic is bringing about True Temperance uliereas the history of Prohibition as a The iry APPLIED shows it has wrecked yeais of temperance advancement, driven the dis . tribt tion of liquor "Under Cover" and secreted it from regulation and cortrol by law. Under our present "Local Option Laws" any community, that so desires, can stop the sale of liquor LOCALLY. The handling of this matter is in your hands LOCALLY. Under the proposed law it will k taken from your hands and administered by the State. Do vou feel that the State will ha idle this matter more tfion th-n vou can YOURSELVES? t'W'A '( j It is claimed that the State will save inn. y in the institutions for the Insane and Crim inal if this measure goes into effect. Yet the Official United States Statistics show that the State of Kansas, that is now held up as an example for Or.g.m to follow, has more in sane and criminals in its institutions than Oregon hes per capita. It is claimed that this proposed law will improve economic conditions, vet the same Official United States Statistics show that the per capita wcauh of Oregon is GREATER than that of Kansas. Hundreds of stores will become vacant; thousands of men with families to support will be thrown cnit of their employment without compensation, and turned adrji't in the sea of "unemployed" which is only too huge now. Do you feel that "times ares 0 good" tha' you can afford to experimtnt and take this great revenue away from the State ot O egon? Don't you feel that you have a big enough burden to bear now. and with the new National Tax Measure now being framed at Washington it will lie HEAVIER still? Don't you feel that the FAIR way is to ENFORCE the laws we now have, which are fully ample in every way to govern the "I.i'iuor Abuse," and NOT pass a law that will accomplish no good but will RUIN US? We ask you to talk this matter over with your wife, or your frinis or your neigh bors consider it fully and candidly consider it in the light of "FAIR I' LAY" consider it in the light of a "SQUARE DEAL" and then we ask you to go to the polls and do for us as we would for you under similar conditions, VOTE 333 X NO, ami save OUR in terests from RUIN. Remember the Local Option Laws will b- swept away if Prohibition is voted but they will STAND AS THEY ARE: if Prohibition is Defeated. Verv sincerelv, HOP GROWERS' AND DEALERS' ASSOCIATION OF OREGON. R. A. BOOTH Booth's statement Included the dec Isrnlion llmt nt times the sawmill he managed employed 1300 men aad the payroll exceeded S80.0OO a month. The concern brought Into Oregon more than $10,000,000 of outside money and farmers, merchants, laborers and en tire communities received the major part of this sum, directly or Indi rectly. The Republicans point out that Booth's rise from a farm hRml and day laborer is to his credit and that hundreds of other Oregon bovs are developing the psme way. They nlao point out that the Industry which Booth's efforts built up brought into the state more money than the Gov ernment has appropriated for river nnd harhor improvements In Oregon since the state was admitted to the Union. During the period that Booth was turning timber into a stri-am of Kold which wns flowing through interior Oregon, spreading prosperity to work- en nr.d merchants, the Republicans declare that Chamberlain wns draw ing a snhry from tax funds as an office-holder. Having been horn in Oreuon and lived here all his life, llooth'8 supporters contend that he l.nows Its people and the needs of the mute as well 11s uny man enn and, Imving made good, whether bs a far mer, cowboy, shocpherder, bookkeep er or sawmill man, he can make good in thp M.imitA The impression that Booth Is a mil- Jladylile. well- meaning incomve llonaire has been gained because of j tent.
