For Bomo tlmo pnst thoro has boon
Borao dlfforonco of opinion botwccn
rcprosontnUvca of tho W. C. T. U.
and District Attorney lloburt D.
Lytlo rolatlvo to tho boat method to
Bocuro a 100 por cent onforcomont
of tho prohibition fltatuto. Tho
dUtrlct attorney expressed his bo
llcf In a iattor to tho officials' of tho
W. C. T. U. thnt a apodal fund was
noodod but tho women of tho or
ganization apparontly do not think
BO.
This djfforonco of opinion Is sot
forth In tho following correspond
ence which passod bolwoon thorn.
Tho first lottor was written' by Mr.
Lytlo as follew: '
"Mrs. 0. B. Dlngham, Ontario,
Oregen: 7Doar Mrs. Illnghatn: I
was In Ontario yostorday and callod
your rcsldonco hoping thnt I
might havo a talk with you but was
Informed that you woro out.
"Mr. Noo and I, for the past year,
havo boon using evory effort and
facility of our officers to onforco tho
Prohibition Statuto, but, as you
no doubt know, wo aro greatly hand
icapped because we havo no funds
with which to work. In splto of
that difficulty In tho year 1921 wo
had eotao thirty-four or ilvo convic
tions for violation of tho Prohibition
Statuto, collecting somo twonty-flyu
or twonty-slx hundrod dollars In
lines and in almost evory instance
roqulred tho person, convicted to
serve a Jail sontonco. I havo on
dvavorod to prevail upon tho county
court to sot aside ft fund to be uuol
in enforcement of this statuto but
with so many unpaid taxes on thf
tax roll tho county has "boon re
luctant to spon adny monoy oxeppt
for tho usual expenses of tho county.
I am, however, convinced that it
tho county court could bo shown
thnt It Is tho will of tho taxpayers
that somo monoy bo appropriated
for this purposo tho court would, la
that event, quite willingly make tho
appropriation.
"Tho grand Jury, In tho January
term, recommended to tho court
that It sot usldo a thousand dollurs
to bo usod by tho District Attorney
and tho shorlft In tho enforcement of
tho Prohibition Statuto, and I
A, A. Reed and W. D. Eaton
of Drogan, who woro In Ontario
last Saturday boosting Drogan's
blossom festival, which takos
place Saturday, declaro that
conditions In tho Willow Crook
vallny aro excellent and glvo
promlBO of rocord breaking
cropB. Not only will thoro bo
a good crop, from all Indica
tions, but thoro wilt bo many
moro acres glvon over to or
chards. "At least 100 or moro acres
havo boon sot out to applo trees
and other fruit trees," snld
Mr, Ilccd, "and tho orchard
men aro very optimistic over
prospects for this fnll. Tho on
ly orchards that today do not
Indlcato rocord breaking crops
aro thoso which boro so heavily
last yoar that tho treos woro
weakened."
"Wo do not havo many chances
to entertain tho rest of tho poo
plo of tho county, but right now
tho valley cortainly looks fine,
and wo folk up Willow crook
hopo that all Ontario and nil
tho foil In tho Snako rlvor val

Saturday wo will ondonvor to

by -potltlon or resolution, should
signify to tho court your deslro for
tho appropriation of this monoy for
tho purposo mentioned wo could got

forcement, I am, vory truly yours,
Robt. D. Lytlo, District Attornoy."
To this lotter a commlttoo of tho
W. C. T. U. replied as follews:
"Mr. Itobt. D. Lytlo, Vale, Ore
gen: Dear Sir: Answering your
lottor of Jan, 25, 1932, In relation
to your roquost-for a resolution or
potltlon of tho W. O. T. U. of thla
city to bo addressed to the County
Court of Mainour County, Oregon,
asking that court to appropriate
$1000.00 of tho public moneys of
this county, tho samo to bo placod
at your dUposul to bo usod In on
forcing tho prohibition laws of this
state, and having duly considered
your said letter and roquost the said
organization bollevea that the on
forcomont of theso laws should not
have precedence over othor criminal
i,uws of the stato and thut these laws
aro no moro difficult to onforco than
tho laws against horae stealing and
other crimes, andthat you havo
taken an oath to enforce, not ouly
v tho prohibition statutes, but all
criminal laws. Wo therefore think
It la your duty In conjunction with
the Sherltt of thla county, to onforce
all criminal statutes of the etate
without other compeneatlon than
you are receiving at thla tlmo und
which compensation has been In
creased since you took your oath of
office by tho addition of liberal ex
pense allowances and assistances.
TJiere is another gpod and suf
ficient reason why thla resolution
should uot be adopted by this or
ganisation and the County Court
asked to appropriate this monoy and
that Is the, one of precedent; should
the County Court approprlato $1000
for this purpose at this time, you
will be tho solo disbursing source
thereof and the duties of your offlco
would be passed to others, bo far as
dlllgeace is concerned, and the ac
cumulating effect of such a pro
ceeding, whea taken In connection
with this and other criminal stat
utes Is too great to bo considered
at this time when one-half of the
tax payers axa unablo to pay their
taxes and their homes and property
are Jeopardised and being taken
frea them. It Is little beginnings
that have placed the country .in Its
present . financial conditioa and an
s jipproprtatlea of $1000 to be used

Portland, May 10 In contrast
with tho apathy which oxlsts In Mal
eour county, for axamplo, tho
political situation In Portlnnd la
fairly sizzling. Horo tho fight la a
ronl bnttlo, but tho turning point has
apparontly boon reached nnd every
thing will bo anti-climax from now
on.
Right now tho Ku Klux Klnn Is
making a laat valiant effort to ward
off dofcat, which is now apparently
upon thorn. Their hopo is to snvo
a rout.
Tho chango lu tho situation has
como In tho past few days with tho
realization ot a numbor of tho can
didates that thoy cannot win, tholr
followors aro now acoklng now
favorites and tho Indications aro
plain that tho trond Is strong now
for Olcott. Tho governor's forcos
aro bolng incroasod from ovary
camp, savo that ot Hall, whoso
strongth coming from tho Ku Klux
ers In of course unknown, duo to tho
chnractor of tho organization. Dut
It Is sufficiently strong that tho
nntt-Ku Ktuxors woro worrlod badly
early In tho wook and as tho result
havo secured nn amalgamation of
somo of tho previously nntl-Olcott
forcos, and thus contorod the fight
botwoon Hall and Olcott, This
practically moans tho nomination ot
tho Oovornor.
It must bo understood that much
of tho now strongth which tho
Oovornor hns rocolvod was not
originally for him, but tho Ku Klux
dobacla nt Los Angoloa lino nwnkon
od tho public to tho danger ot Ku
Klux nnd tho monnco it would bo
to Oregon to hnvo tho invlslblo
"omplto" ruling tho dostlnloa ot
the Stato. For thnt ronson baaod
on tho principle ot froo govornmont
Otcott's election Is doomed lmpora
ttvo. Whntuvor porsonnl opinions
ono mny havo of tho man his plat
form of "Amorlcanlsm" Is winning
support from thoso who under othor
circumstances would havo boon for
othor candidates.
Efforts aro now cryBtaltzIng to
Bocuro tho withdrawal of ono or two
of thu candidates who aro admittedly
now out of tho race. Among thoso
aro Senator Louis E. Dcnu. Ills
friends horo rentlzo that with tbo
linos drnwn as thoy nro that ho can
not win and aro going to ask him
to rolonso his friends from tholr
plodgos ot aupport. It this is dono
Mr. Iloau will probably not bo asked
to Indlcato whom ha would be
queath his voto. All that Is asked
la that ho roloaso thorn, and lot
thum inuko tholr cholco, Tho bo
Hot Is howovor thnt this support will
go by a largo majority to Olcott.
Senator Pattoraon'a friends lmvo
not yet glvon up hopo, but tholr
protestation of strongtlr Is fathered
by tholr hopo for victory, Un
doubtedly with tho fight untrnmmoll
od by tho monaco of tho Ku Kluxers
8onator Patterson would If In tho
Hold nlono against tho Oovornor, bo
tbo favorlto ot many horo who aro
now espousing tho Olcott causo. Ono
ot these loadora said to tho odltor
of tho Argus teday: "Wo know 01
ctott, wo don't know what to oxpoct
of Hall, and Pattorson has no
chanco now. Thoreforo wo aro for
Olcott."
Tho Olcott sltuaton demonstrates
anow tho old Baying: "politics makoa
strango bed follows." Thoro aro
oomo ot tho strongest mon In power
ful nnd well known Protestant
organizations, united with promlnont
Catholics to dofoat Hall and his Ku
Klux Klan. To Oregon's shame it
must bo candidly admitted that this
issuo Is a religious one and tho big
men ot tho stato, doplorlng that fact
aro united In au effort to toach the
mon who Introduced It Into the stato
n lesson that thoy will not forget.
All thla means Olcott.
Fithlan Portland Favorlto
In splto ot tho endorsement of
Williams for tho National Commit
teeman, It appears that O. L. Fithlan
is tho Portland favorlto for tho
position, especially with thoso who
aro not actlvoly connected with any
of tho cAmpalgn headquarters.
Ftlhlans fight for n now deal In
Oreeon Dolltlcos is making Its anDeal.
and that altogothor with tho oft
repeated story mat Williams as
committeeman was not entbustistlo
Jn aupport ot R. A. Dooth In his fight
for tho Senate, Is adding to Flthlan'a
strongth overy day. This fight, In
many waya la overshadowing tho
governorship scrap and offers thu
possibility of marking a real crisis
in party politics. At the present
timo, from thla viewpoint, It looks
aa though Fithlan will be tho winner.
On Thursday, May 18 Mrs, Har
rison's pupils -will glvo the final
recital of tho season at tho resi
