Lay on, Macduff, and damned be 1 who first cries hold, enough!" This quotation from Shakespear was the Invitation which Governor West issued today to the Portland per sons who are initiating a recall move- ment. That Invitation is for all of them," he said. "And It will stick.". Governor West visited state Institu tions this morning and passed the rest of the day at the State Fair grounds, but at the same time devoted some of the day to making preparations for the next week of his vice crusade in Portland. Roarburg Brewery la Mark. He outlined the plan which he In tends to pursue in connection with his attack on breweries and railroads for shipment of liquor Into drj territory. He also issued a direction in a letter to District Attorney Brown, of Roseburg, ordering him to start proceedings at once against the Roseburg Brewing & Ice Company. 'Officers of this company have been indicted for selling beer when the brewery Is supposed to manufacture and sell near-beer, and I am asking the prosecutor to take immediate steps In relation to the brewery itself," said the executive. The plan which the Governor has outlined relative- to the shipment of liquor Into dry territory, is applicable alike to both the breweries and the railroads. Briefly, he will ask that all liquor which is shipped into dry terri tory by the breweries or other liquor dealers be plainly labeled as to its con tents. When such liquor is received at its destination he asks that the rail roads Instruct their agents that on the . day of its arrival a description of the shipment and the name of the con signee be posted In a conspicuous pub lic place in the- freight warehouse at the receiving station. Public Scrutiny Desired. Ho says he will request that this list be open to the public and to peace offi cers. He will further request that th railroads hold such shipments for ona day following their receipt, to give the officers an ample opportunity each day to determine to whom liquor Is be ing shipped in their respective Jurisdic tions and to make an investigation aa to what use the liquor is intended. If the officers discover that tha liquor is being shipped to an Individual for his own use, the delivery can be made." said the Governor. "If It is de termined that it la consigned to a blind pig or to a resort, then the ship ment may be returned to the consignor, or It may be seized and destroyed as the officers see fit. But it will be asked that all shipments of this char acter be kept over a day following the posting of the notice, and In this man ner it will be easy to keep a direct tab on all shipments of liquor which are received in dry territory. 'If the breweries will consent to carry out these requests It will be an indication on their part that they in tend to play fair, and that is all I ask of them. I consider that there is nothing unfair or unreasonable In the) plan that I have outlined, and an ex cellent chance Is given them to demon strate their sincerity." Tuwcli to Receive Attention. As to his activities in Portland proper tho rest of this week, the Gov ernor had little to say. He declared that the question of Police Judge Taz- weli is one which will come up later and which he is holding In abeyance at the present time. Expressing his satisfaction at the de cision of Judge McGinn in the Camer on case, he intimated that there will be some lively work done by Special Prosecutor Esterly, and that It will not be long delayed. In reference to the move which has been started toward exercising the re call amendment on Governor West, Judge Galloway, In Circuit Court to morrow, will hand down a decision in the Cameron case, and this may have Important bearing on the proposed move against West. Recall petitions have been filed with the Secretary of State directed at District Attorney Cameron, of Multnomah County. Cameron brought Injunction proceed ings against the Secretary of State to restrain him from calling a special election, alleging that the recall amendment is not self-executing, and that legislative enactments will be re quired before recall election may be called. Judge Galloway Issued an in terlocutory order, restraining the Sec retary of State, and announced a few days ago that he would hand down his decision tomorrow. If he should hold the amendment is (Concluded on Pass 12.)
