MX itt IIUU.NU, MAXAGUt, A Statement BY The Committee The Committee of One Hundred is now engaged in checking np the lists of Portland signers of the "declaration of principles,", appearing as a paid advertisement of the OREGON STATE BREWERS' ASSOCIATION in yesterday morning's Oregonian. We have found many persons who assert their names and those of their firms were signed without authority. Particularly is this the case of the Union Meat Company. There are a number of similar cases. In many instances prominent business men whose names appear in the advertisement assert they never signed any such ridiculous statement as the "declaration of principle." Some say they signed it without reading it, and don't agree with it. anyway. . It is a slow matter to interview all whose names have been used, but the Committee of One Hundred hopes to announce results from day to day. In almost every instance business men who admitted having signed "some statement" declared they did not authorize the public use of their names and certainly are not prepared to be one of those accepting the challenge of the Committee of One Hundred. When the check is completed the Committee of One Hundred will publish the names of 100 of those who are willing for their names to appear, according to the terms of the challenge, which appears below, The challenge was published over a week ago in The Evening Tele gram. - THE CHALLENGE. "The Committee of One Hundred consists of business and professional men and women from all over Oregon. We are making a fight on behalf of a dry Oregon. We have heard a great' deal about what Oregon dry will do for Oregon. While we know business will be far better all over the state, as has been proved in every dry town in Oregon, the wet interests tell us business will be doomed unless we vote for the saloon. They tell us we won't be able to rent our property unless we have the saloon. They tell us thou sands and thousands of men will be out of work unless we have the sa loon, quite regardless of fact that through the saloon more men lose their jobs than through any other half dozen agencies. "They tell us Mr. Roosevelt favors the saloon. Promptly Mr. Roosevelt comes out for a dry state. They tell us President Wilson Is against a dry state. Very promptly indeed, Mr. Wil son denies it. . ihey tell us ijinooin was opposed to prohibition. The facts are that Lincoln was opposed to the liquor traffic in all its forms, not by statements that were never made, but by authentic reports of his speeches. They quote from people far back in history, bo far we have not heard from Julius Caesar and Soc rates. "They tell us business is bad in dry towns. We prove by figures that it is better, far better, and we quote leading merchants to prove our case. "They tell us a lot of things about Kansas which Kansans say are untrue. The same statement applies to Maine. "Now who is. sponsoring these statements'? ."Not the brewers of Portland, for evidently .they are not interested in the campaign sufficiently to sisrn any of the costly ads or expensive posters. The 'Taxpayers and Wage tamers League' fathered some of the above statements. But the 'Taxpayers' and Wage Earners' League' has been shown to consist of two persons, Airs. Duni way and Dr. Talbott, and Dr. Talbott has resigned. Moreover, Mrs. Duni way herself, the president of the 'league,' repudiated the Lincoln state ment and said she did not believe it herself. And as this same 'Taxpay ers' and Wage Earners' League,' of one person is repudiated even by its president for its ofticial utterances, we are compelled to make this an open statement, instead of addressing the league direct. We would like to see the wet statements vouched for by persons of prominence in Oregon, not by leagues that do not exist. "So we challenge the wet interests of Oregon to produce a 'Committee of One Hundred sympathetic supporters who are ready to stand out in the open in support of a wet state, and as soon as the names are furnished we shall publish them in every paper in Portland, parallel with the names of the members of this body, and leave the people to draw their own infer ences. "The members of the Committee of One Hundred are drawn from every rank in life. The payroll alone of the committee, for which its members are directly responsible, runs to over $6,000,000 a year. The members of the committee employ many thousands of men. Now, when they say that business will be improved under a dry state thev are talking about what thev know. "They know that as the Oregon dry amendment does not take eliect till January 1, 1916, there will be more than, a year for readjustment. They know that the choice saloon property will be in quick demand for other lines of business. They know that only 292 persons, including managers and stenographers, are employed in Ore gon breweries, so they wonder why the fact that Oregon will save some thing like $15,000,000 a year from the abolition of the saloon will hurt busi ness. "As a matter of fact, they know that the voting out of the saloon will bring better business, prosperity and good times in very short order after the amendment takes effect. They know that this $15,000,000 will then be available for groceries, real estate and homes, not to speak of other lines of trade. "Knowing all these things, they ask the wet interests to produce the names of 100 reputable Oregonians to back up their statements. Paid Advertisement by the Committee of One Hundred, 743 Morgan Building, Portland, Or. to the , Public of One Hundred A STATEMENT. The Committee of One Hundred asked for the names of 100 Oregonians willing to sponsor the vari ous mis-statements appear ing in the newspapers and on billboards in Portland and throughout the state. The Committee of One Hundred did not ask for a number of Portland taxpay ers who are opposed to the dry movement that would be silly; we know that there are plenty of them. "We might have published the names of the 42,000 per sons who signed the Oregon dry petition. , The Committee of One Hundred wanted to know and still wants to know the names of 100 Orecronians willing to sponsor the state-' mwuto a-uavAc uy lug wet tJX- ga nidations. Several of these are re peated in the advertisement: The statement that 10,000 men will be thrown out of work as a result of state wide prohibition. The statement that 500 stores will be for rent as a re sult of state-wide prohibi tion. The statement that 1500 residences will be for rent as the result of state -wide prohibition. - But, the Committee of One Hundred is now asking ev ery signer of the so-called "declaration" the following questions : Do we understand by this adver tisement in The Oregonian that you are simply opposed to Prohibition or that you stand sponsor for the fol lowing : 1 The" statement that Mr. Lincoln was opposed to Prohibition. 2 The statement that" Ex-Presi dent Roosevelt is opposed to Prohi bition. 3 The statement that President Wilson is opposed to Prohibition. 4 The statement that business is bad in dry towns. 5 The statement that 95 per cent of the bankers in Kansas do NOT f a- vrr a Arv stain 6 The statement that Oregon dry will throw 10,000 men out of work. 7 The statement that 500 fine busi ness locations will be for rent No vember 3, 1914, if the state goes dry. 8 The statement that 1000 other fine business locations will be for rent November 3, 1914, if the state goes dry. 9 The deliberate registration of floaters in the North End. .
