TIIE MORXTXG onEGONIAy, FRIDAY, 6EPTE3TBER 30, 1910. 13 WDMMI SAYS COX' TALK IS CHILDISH Miss Brehm Will Not Show Chief Her List of 418 "Blind Pigs." "SEE RECORDS," IS ADVICE 'Isn't It Terrible? She Asks Re ferring to Government's Issuing Liquor Licenses to Houses of Immoral Character. Tom Cnlef of Police Cox for a. mo ment suppose that there are 418 drug stores, clnbs and groceries in this city which have the legal right . to sell uor by virtue of possessing United States permits only? The Chief is talking In an extremely Juvenile way when he chal lenges me to prove my assertions in re gard to blind pig- Within the limits of the City of Portland 418 more Gov ernment licenses have been Issued than municipal licenses." said Miss Marie C Brehm. temperance worker, at the Sew ard Hotel yesterday. "It was these 418 that I am quoted as having dubbed 'blind pigs.' There Is not the slightest necessity of my going to Chief Cox and placing this list before him He can obtain it from the Federal authorities and. if he is anxious to make certain that liquor Is not being sold Il legally in the city, he might obtain this list and start an Investigation. I under stand that a great many illegal places have gone out of business since the pub lication of my statements, but neverthe ris I am morally certain that still many blind pigs' are being operated within the city limits. Men Fear Federal Laws. Tou know, of course, that men who wish to sell intoxicants Illegally have a wholesome fear of the Federal authori ties and a corresponding contempt lor municipal authorities. The histories of blind pigs In Kansas. Maine and North Dakota, prohibition states, show this to be true. My object in obtaining th s list was to prove that 'blind pigs flourish in wet' as well as 'dry" territory and I think I have done It. "Dan J. McGill. United States col lector of internal revenue, came to see me yesterday. He admitted to me that many of the Federal licenses have been issued to houses of immoral character. Isn't that terrible? Just Imagine the United States Government issuing licenses to places of that kindl -Yesterday I received two phone calls. The people on the other end or the wire refused to give their names, but they told me of two places, one at the corner of Eighth and Stark and the other at the corner of Tenth and Washington, which they said should be investigated. I told Mr. McGill about it and he admitted that e had issued no Federal licenses to any persons in the buildings named. Courage Lacking, She Says. -The trouble with a great many men is that they haven't the courage to assist In the suppression of 'blind pigs. One came in yesterday and asked to look over my list, saying that he knew of one In his neighborhood and desired to see if I had it listed. He said It was there but refused to point It out to me. I asked him if he was going to vote for prohibition and he said that v. u.cuil mavhn he was. I am Still at a loss to decide whether that man was an agent of the blind pig he showed an Interest In. or Just a plain citizen who lacked moral courage." "I have given my men strict instruc tions to arrest any person found sell ing liquor without the required lic enses." said Chief Cox. "We are hampered, however, by a decision of Judge Morrow to the effect that an officer's statement must not be admit ted as evidence, and we haven't a dol lar to spend In paying stool pigeons." MR. MOORES STANDS PAT Republicans In the State Are Indif ferent to Statement 1, He Says. PORTLAND. Sept. 28. (To the Edi tor.) Two recent communications in The Oregonlan indicate that our friends Hodson and Geer have entirely lost their nerve. Will you allow an ex pression on the other side from one who was in the recent wreck, one who was named for an office he did seek, and who never in his life solicited sup port from any delegate In any con vention, or from any voter in a gen eral election. The recent primary elec tion settled absolutely nothing as to the assembly or Statement No. 1. One swallow never made a Summer, and one single political skirmish never set ted any Important political question. A discussion of these questions should not be forced at this time. It Is time now for Republicans to close the ranks, touch as few raw spots as possible, and postpone acrimonious discussion of questions upon which we honestly dif fer, until we are through with the task of electing fhe tickets nominated An R&turdav last. In the campaign Just closed in this countv it is well known that: the as sembly candidates had no systematic organisation. Their opponents were thoroughly organized, and banners nt brass bands and eloquent spellbinders and rented theaters Indi cated that they naa no iacK oi cam palgn funds. From one printing estab lishment alone on Front street, we are told. 90.000 highly Illustrated cam paign pamphlets were sent out. on which the postage alone was $1800. This nostage alone probably amounted to twice the whole amount of money spent by the state and county com mittees in eenaii or tne assemoiy can didates. There was a fierce personal nuk made upon the assembly nom inees, in which the question of the assemblr and Statement Io. 1 was in nowise Involved, and the passions of the voters were inflamed by persistent charges that the corporations were in mntrol of the assembly. There was no sane discussion of nrinclDles. Any abstract discussion or fundamental questions was Ignored. The result was almost wnony person I except as to the legislative ticket. i-rm was the storm center ana in mis flht there was enlisted a powerful political organization looking to results two years hence. There was a con tingent of officeholders, who had made good in office, and who were able to enlist a small army of deputies and friends, who were attracted to the anti assembly ticket on purely personal rrounds. The purely personal follow In of 10 anti-assembly candidates for the Legislature was enlisted against the personal following of only lz as mhlv candidates, while the A. B. C plan of nomination was good for an itn 1000 or 1500 votes. Over and above all of this there was the universal wave of insurgency that hu been sweeping the country, and which alone probably determined the Issue. No insurgent can take pen and pencil and write out clearly the dis tinction between what he wants and what President Taft wants, except that be wants it In 24 hours and the Presi dent knows it must be brought about by slow, legal and orderly methods. As to an assembly there Is in reality no question. The real discussion here hinges on the question as to whloh is better, an open assembly or a star chamber assembly. With no open as sembly the political situation is under, the absolute control of the reigning political machine. When you reduce this proposition to Its ultimate analy sts here Is where you land every time. The objection to Statement No. 1 Is that It. offers a premium on factional strife and a temptation always to the minority party to Invade the primaries of the majority party. The majority party In -any state has a right to party representation In the United States Senate. That right should not be .Im periled by any plan that invites In vasion of the party primaries, or that panders to the factional spirit. The legislative contests, state-wide and scattered as they are. tend to neutralize the effect of factional strife, and to give expression to the real party sen timent of the state. An overwhelming Republican majority In the Legisla ture better expresses the actual party preference of the people for Senator than does a personal contest between Individuals, where factional strife has the opportunity to assert Itself. Let the vote of the party rank and file be the guide to govern the vote in the legislative assembly. The vote in the primaries on Saturday last shows that this sentiment Is rapid ly gaining ground. In Eastern Ore gon, in Southern Oregon and in the Willamette Valley the sentiment against Statement No. 1. as reflected In the results la distinctly stronger than It was two years ago. In Multnomah County, where every local condition was adverse, there Is nothing to in dicate even after the extraordinarily fierce campaign of Its supporters that the Statement is regarded with any more favor than it was two years ago. Statement No. 1 candidates in hardly any instance polled as much as 30 per cent of the registered Republican vote, or as much as 2i per cent of the whole Republican vote of the county. This shows that at least three-fourths of the Republicans of the county are either opposed to the Statement or are utterly indifferent. It utterly explodes the Idea that there is a great upris ing In favor of It. The more extended the experience of the people with Us results the less will they be Inclined to favor It. This question, however, is not at this time an Issue, and it is referred to only because there seems to be a dis position on the part of some Republi cans and of the Portland Journal to inject It into the campaign to stir up dissension in the Republican ranks. tv,. T.tiiihiiiafi rank and file have ex pressed their choice. Let Republicans loyally accept tne situation. Alter tnis campaign is over there will be an abundance of time to discusss questions that are not at this time an Issue. CHARLES B. MOORES. E IV IMPROVED HEALTH GOVER NOR READY FOR WORK. Undivided Support Pledged for Elec tion r Entire Republican Tick et in November. SALEM. Or, Sept 29. (Special-) Tired out by the long trip from San Francisco, but cheerful and delighted at being back in Oregon, Governor Frank W. Benson, arrived with Mrs. Benson shortly after noon today and after being entertained at dinner by Dr. R. E. Lee Stelner, was driven to the Benson home. At his home this afternoon Governor Benson declared he would lend his undivided support to the entire Republican state ticket. "I consider the so-called assemDiy and anti-assembly fight a minor issue in this election and the KepuDiican party must get together to a man and stand by Its nominees. There is a splendid man at the head of the ticket and there is every reason in the world why he should be elected., 1 oeueve, with party harmony, which is decidedly essential Just now, that the entire tick et can be carried through the November election successfully and with a great vote. I am a Republican nrst. last ana all the time and I Intend giving my heartiest support to the men that the people have seen fit to choose at the primaries. Of course, the ticket is split up In many ways, but I cannot Imagine the Republicans of Oregon al lowing any ractlonai ieeung. wnicu may have arisen before the primaries, to lnfluenoe their votes at the coming election." The Governor was resting on a lounge when interviewed. The fatigue of his long trip was apparent. Dut oin erwlse he considers himself greatly strengthened. "I win see you at the office In a day or two. ne sain in clon ing the Interview and it is probable he will resume his duties, for a portion of the day at least, either the lant of this week or the first or next weeK. The Governor is as vigorous and ani mated In his conversation as ever and his eves, which were reported to have been In danger, are as sparkling and shine as brightly as before be went South. It being evident that the report in that connection was exaggerated. TROOPS IN REVIEW TODAY Colonel McGunnegle Will Inspect Vancouver's Army of 1500. VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash.. Sept. J. (Special.)
