"It la quite untrue to ear that the

"But other tires were burning. Un

ISSUES AN OPEN LETTER
TO THE PUBLIC
It has btn brought to my attention that the Anti-Satoon League, fol
lowing tka mum tactics It has followed in every campaign heretofore, ia
trying to besmirch this organization and to carry on a vicioui campaign of
untruth. No name kiiii to be too good to be dragged into the mud by
them. I bave reliable information that t statement has been made to the
AniiSaloos League, and to the Committee of One Hundrtd by Mrs. Cora
C Tilxjtt, farmer secretary oi the Tsspayers' and Wsge-Earneri' League,
thai sti wo Iro.itfht into this work by me under the Impression that it
was a Women's Suffrage movement, and her duties would be those of a
pbysicUo wUk I made speeches throughout the state I alio understand
(hat Mrs. TaJbott makes the statement that funds have been collected with
out authority, and In some way the Brewers' Association hat been collect
ing these foods. These two atatements are absolutely untrue. The collec
tion of funds was authorised by me as president, and the secretary was
ordered to have a letter sent out In connection with this work. I under
Und thai Mrs. Talbott, in this purported letter, in the hands of the Anti
Saloon League and the Committee of One Hundred, states that she ob
jected to the raising of funds under her signature st secretary. How did
the good lady think the work of this lesgut wss to be carried on? Why did
the think Mr. Bortzmeyer, cashier of the Scandinavian-American Bank, was
appointed treasurer of this league? Did the think we would ask the brew
ers to put op the money surreptitiously? If so, she reckoned without her
boat I bave tlwajra fought in the open, and now, in my 80th year, and
probably in my lost campaign, I do not intend to change the principles I
have always fought for, nor depart from my honesty of purpose in advo
cacy of eqaai rights for all the people by no meant excluding women, for
whose Interests I bave spent my life to obtain the ballot. My chief con
cern in their behalf bos always been to secure for them their economic in
dependence, as married mothers within the home, which slone will enable
any woman to quit the businesa of marrying inebriates or raising drunkards.
The moneys collected are in the hands of Treasurer Bortzmeyer, and
all those who have donated have received a letter acknowledging receipt
thereof. Any one to desiring may inquire from our treasurer at to whether
tho money has been put in his hands, snd I am quite sure he will advise
them of receipt of tlyir donation. If there it any one who hat paid their
money into this organization under misapprehension as donation for carry
ing on this work, this league will be only too glad to refund it.
It ia indeed strange that Mrs. Talbott thought this was a Suffrage move
ment when she went to the Portland Hotel, engaged the dining-room for
oar first luncheon for organization and arranged for the payment of this
luncheon, and went so far as to get speakers' to expret their viewt against
Prohibition.
The real break between Mrt. Talbott tnd myself wst caused when I
found out that she had gone to the Brewers' Association snd told them the
eoold be of good service to them in connection with this league, and asked
. and received a salary from the Brewers' Attociation on the ground that the
wot putting in her time and needed the money. On the 26th of August a
meeting wat held between Mrs. Talbott and myself for the purpote of get
ting mattera straightened out before starting the general organization. At
this meeting a statement was signed by myself as president add Mrs. Tal
bott as secretary that the two letters sent out by myself, ss well as the let
ter tent oot by the puhlicity department, were approved. This statement
ended with the sentence: "After discussing generally the affairt of the
league, the officers ratified all work that had been done up to date by the
publicity bwean and officers of the association."
I bave Bred in this state for 60 years, during all of which time I have
tolled and worked for the people of my state, and I am willing to leave it to
the public to decide as to whether I would lend myself in any way to any
organization or any act that could be construed at anything but honorable.
Every one in thit state knows Mrs. Duniway and her family. I wish further
to say that, if the occasion arises and I deem it necessary to go further into
this matter, I will be glad to publish some additional facts in these same
papers not necessary to publish now, and will meet the conditions as they
arise. If the Anti-Saloon League, by its paid foreign agitators or Commit
tee of One Hundred, think. they can becloud this issue by trying to drag into
the mud my name or others, they arc very much mistaken. I expect to
carry this work on to the conclusion of this campaign, and then allow the
people to judge as to whether we will control our own sfl'airt in the State
of Oregon or allow the paid agitators of the East to show ut whst to do.
