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.

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.
