75 more children are in her schools than last year.

Under the open saloon we went into the hole and
never knew it until we had sobered up.
Oregon City feels the world-wide hard times less
than any of her "wet" neighbors.
More men for population have work than in "wet"
Portland.
Business is better than Portland with 400 saloons.
What's good for Oregon City is good for Oregon.

State and County taxes in Kansas are 10 mills.
State and County taxes in Oregon are 20 mills.
Our prisons, courts' asylums, poor farms, and pau
pers cost us over $3,000,000 per year.
The heads of our state institutions say that over 60
per cent of this is directly due to drink.
Drink causes $20,00,000 taxes.
Licenses pay $900,000, the TAXPAYER pays
$1,100,000 balance.
That s why you pay 20 mills while the Kansas man
pays only 10

Why Did They Not Ad
vertise the 15 Saloons?
Women'
rHE saloon has been, for generations, the
persistent and peculiar foe of woman; it
has defiled, insulted and shamed her; it has
pauperised and rained her home; it has
blighted her fondest hopes; trampled upon
her most sacred affections, and one of her
first acts tinder enfranchisement is to crush
it beneath her heel
Will someone tell any aood thing that the Saloon
ever does for a community anyway, that we
should vote for it?
Does it feed the hungry, or do the churches do that for it?
Does it help the widow and fatherless, or does it harm them?
Does it make homes happier? Hearts lighter? Business better?
It does EXACTLY the OPPOSITE.
WHY THEN SHOULD WE VOTE FOR IT?

RICH KANSAS IS CRYING FOR II ELF?

RESOURCES?
TENNESSEE IS PASSING THE HAT?
WEST VIRGINIA FRETS FOR HER
