D. Honeyman Says He Perceived the Fraud Before Last Election, and Left the Extremists to Carry on Their Work. The local-option law is ,. red-hot fry-insr-pan with a prohibition handle. The Citizens' Committee, organized with W odd members, to represent the business Interests of Portland In the contest for local option, turned away from that purpose and became, in fact, a prohibi tion campaign committee. Though I was the nominal chairman, I did not act as such during the campaign, for I was absent from the city. Besides I perceived the fraud with which the Prohibitionists were beguiling the com. .mlttee. Many other members were of the same mind as myeelf, and a small coterie of extremists was allowed to carry on its work. The law is a pro hibition act in dlsgulss. Its promoters used local option as a decoy. State ment of T. D. Honeyman, chairman of the Citizens' Committee. The citizens' committee, after serving as a link to unite the Prohibition party and the Anti-Saloon League, has died, and the two contingents are split as wide apart as China from Pern. Now comes T. D. Honeyman, chairman o the committee. Xo the front of the stage to announce that the name "citizens' committee" was a pseudonym for a coterie of virtual Pro hibitionists. The Prohis flatly deny the allegation and assert that the organizers, the of ficers and the workers of the committee were not party Prohibitionists at all and that the five members of their party who aid belong to It, joined not by butting In, but in response to Imitation. They aver that they would have been glad to have "prohlbjtlonlzed" the committee, but the organizers of that body -would have none of it and did their best -to keep from the committee the semblance of Prohibi tion partisanship. Prohis declare that they gave up their party individuality and becamo drawers of water and hewers of wood In the serv ice of the citizens' committee, which con ducted the local option campaign. They ray that the Anti-Saloon Xeague did the same, or was supposed to have done so. Those vho subscribe themselves to these sentiments are such eminent Prohis as J. H. Amos, F. McKercher and B. Leo Paget. All sing in chorus that the Prohis never promised the committee to use this or that procedure after enactment of the law. No promise was ever asked for, they say, and intimate that if any had been requested it would not have been granted, because the law provides its own methods of procedure. Prohis don't think much of such "quit ters" as the Antf-Saloon League and the citizens' committee. But members of these bodies frankly admit that they were de ceived either by the law or by the Pro nls, because their goal was precinct, not county prohibition, and the issue is now county prohibition. Mr. Honeyman says flatly that the real Inner purpose of the movement last June was precinct option and that It has been frustrated. After joining the committee and becoming its chairman he discovered the colored gentleman in the woodpile and remonstrated. Soon afterward busi ness called him to the Cast, and he was absent from Portland during the heat of the campaign. Before he left, he says, he told the committee that the measure was "prohibition- in disguise" and that most of the members came to the same knowledge before the election. The al leged "promise" which the committee is said to have exacted from the Prohis, Mr. Honeyman scores as absurd, because the law provides explicitly for methods of procedure, and he never understood that the committee was authorized or warranted In asking for any particular application of the law. "The committee was formed," said he, "for the express purpose of placing the bill, as It stood, before the people noth ing more. In answer to E. Quackenbush and others who now say that by some treaty or other the law was to be ap plied only for partial prohibition I shall say that I did not know of any such agreement and that if there was any, it was absurd." Mr, Honeyman dug up the printed call by which the committee had been brought together and organized, to show that its prime object was precinct option, and that in espousing county prohibition it departed from the straight path. The gentlemen who raked the committee to gether were Dr. J. H. "Wilson, Samuel Cornell, Ir. E. lu House and E. Quack enbush. "As Intelligent and reasonable men." ran the summons to those who were chosen to constitute the committee, "and appreciating that there are reasonable limitations within which the saloon should restrict its operations for Instance, In farming communities, -villages and resi dent portions of cities the following bus iness men have consented to serve as the nucleus of a citizens local option com mittee to place this issue, now greatly misunderstood and grossly misrepresented, before the people of this city and counts'."
