NEWPORT TIRED OF PROHIBITION If local option was a gisxl thing why LOCAL OP »'ION S T ATE was it that so many of the leading cit izens and business men left the city soon after it went dry and went to cit ies where liquor was sold legally? If cities are made corrupt through the agency of the saloon, and if moral con ditions are lowered in places where pro hibition does not exist, why did these men move their families where, ac cording to prohibition argument, their families will be subject to greater tem ptations?

Made Mistake. Present indications are that Lincoln county has hail enough of the drought which struck it two years ago when a majority of the voters declared for a dry county, and that at the next elect ion. June 1, the people will switch to the other side and reinstate the saloons. RECORD OF 0FHCAL5 Hon. J. L. Hammersiy, canidate for representative, is a man who is well acquainted in this county. His parents crossed the plains with an ox team and settled in Jackson county. Mr. Hamm ersiy lived and studied law in Jackson ville. His opponents say nothing about his character or ability, consequently they concede his superiority as a law maker. Hon. H. D. Kubli is a native of Jackson county, residi. g at present at Applegate. Mr. Kubli is a candidate for re-election as state representative. H j most ably defended the rights i.f our people at the last session of the legislature, when the fatuous “Water Bill” was before the house, Mr. Kubli fought the measure bitterly for 40 days, and today stands before the people on his record. In county clerk W. R. Coleman Jack- son county has one of the most efficient men in the county as a canidate for the position. Mr. Coleman thoroughly understands the duties of the office, and his past record is unquestioned and is justly entitled to the [second term which is customary when an official is a good and faithful servant for one term. Mr Colemafi’s opponents cannot truthfully bring one item against his hctiesty and abilty to discharge the duties of county clerk. For county recorder, Dr. R. T. Bur nett, is a canidate for re-election. Mr. Burnett is a faithful servant of the people and can always be found at his desk. "It is no mere accident that Carrie Nation goes around, smashing and des troying property with a hatchet. The essence of the prohibition movement is the same.’’ D r . FREDERICK CoHN;In a lecture at Temple Isreal, Omaha. May 10, 1908. It is the same morally. Think it over. Let us stop closing up business tor a while and try opening it up instead. Times are hard enough. For County Judge Geo. H. Hines, of the Oregon His torical Society, of Portland, was on our streets Thursday, visiting with some of the pioneers. About a year ago Mr. Hines was calle.I to Marshfield on some business, and while on the bay he found 4 copies of a newspaper the "Umpqua Gazette” published at Scottsburg in April. 1853. This was the first paper published south of Ore gun City in Oregon. This paper was in existence about one year. in the spring of 1855 the plant was bought by W. G. T’Vault who moved the plant to this county and publishtd the “Table Rock Sentinel.” Later the plant was bought by Chas. Niehell who moved it to Jacksonville and published the “Times.” Mr. T’Vault was the first editor on the coast. He edited a paper at Oregon City a few weeks earlier than California’s first paper. ♦ - For Treasurer Marvel M. Taylor, the democratic nutnanative for County treasurer is making an excellent campaign, and is receiving considerable encouragement. This office requires the service of a thorough buisness man, one a customed t > handling large amounts of money, and also one who is accurate and care ful. Mr. Taylo.r, who is a member of the firm of Nunan-Taylor Co. of this city, has been connected with this store for 17 years and has an excellent training for the office of county trea surer. JUDGE MCFADDEN AT JACKSONVILLE The size and representative charact er of the audience that assembled to hear Judge McFadden at the Court House Monday nightdemonstrated that a temperance meeting ii Jacksonville is no longer an experiment but a popu lar affair.

To this end Rev. McHevery of Ashland read lettars from two busiuess firms one stating that the circulated report < f Albany having a block of business h< uses vacant was ab solutely false the other firm sincerly hoptd the saloons v ould not return for good business reasons.

TAYLOR Regular Democratic Nominee for County Treasurer. Election June 1, 1908. Blucher, Oxfords, Bals Sexton Donegan Dunford Wilson W 11 O. Dunford Ulrich....... Stout McIntyre Judge McF adden prosecuting attorney for Lincoln, Benton and Lane counties, was then introduced. Judge McFadden assured the audience that he was no tenderfoot in Oregon, that he was him self a taxpayer who came t > add-ess taxpaying people and had refused to act pt even so much as his traveling expenses. He also assured us that he was acquainted with the saloon question having lived in Oregon, f r the past 35 years He said Benton County had been dry for four y ears and purpose ! to keep dry. That during the two campaigns the people in Benton County had been en tertained with the doleful prophecies that with prohibition grass would grow in the business streets; no "booze no trade; and poverty would be ac centuated by exhorbitant taxes, eel. ect. To give us a working plan whereby a school boy might figure it cut for himself he used the following: Suppose each saloon keeper in Jacksonville to b ■ satisfied with an annual profit of $l.0‘ •• each bartender with $6J0, each landlor I with $200. the city with $400 licence, the total for our four saoolns would be $8,800, now if we allow that all this ex pense represents 36-of the saloon receipts we are face to face with the fact that of the $24.000 the people spend in the saloon $15.201) goes out of the county to help support the brewers, distillers, ect. There he showed us that in giving certain individuals the privilege of rui - ning bar rooms in our midst that Jack- son ill ? and vicinity are sending to distill ers over fifteen thousand dollars annually that otherwise would be spent and will be spent in increasing other branches of bus'ness. He begged us to keep cool and not be deceived by the‘‘Facts and Figures," seen in bar-room win dows, into annually sending out about fiften thousand dollars in cash from Jacksonville. Of course the Judge did not lay down these figures as being the absolute ratio, but his point was clear, and will remain no matter what ratio used. Second, he made short work of the, “Blind Pig’’ scare. Much is made of ‘he fact that when prohibition becomes effective the number of government licence taken out some times increase. The Judge explained that while law less men did not respect the will of the people and were willing to take chances of escaping the District Prosecuting attorney they were afraid to run the risk of getting Uncle Sam on their tracks, to avoid this they take out li cense from the government but as soon as they do the wide awake prosecuting attorney has a great advantage for in Court it is taken as prima facie evidence of guilt, and as happened in his field of labor, the boot-legger is fined, his par tners ih crime instead of continuing their work “take to the tall timber. ’ The Jndgesaid he used to be a “wet ” but he tumbled to the fact that a bar tender was not a prosperity maker.
