THE MOItIXG OREGONIAX, - "WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1916.
CROWD TOO BIG FOR
MRSUNDAY'S VOICE
Many Appear at Hippodrome 2
Hours Before Time for
-Speech to Begin.
SOME CONFUSION FOLLOWS
Evangelist Uses Hands as Mega
phone ln Erfort to Make Per
sons at Ends of Hall Hear.
Writer of Attack Scored.
Crowds began to gather for the Billy
Eunday meeting; as early as 6 o'clock
last night, although the talk of th
evening, was programmed to start at 8
and Aid not get well under way until
nearly half an hour later.
From 6 until 8 the carlines reaching
that part of the city were taxed to ca
pacity and from every car on Washing
ton, Twenty-third, Twenty-first and
Sixteenth streets, crowds poured to the
Ice Hippodrome at Twenty-first and
Marshall streets, where the Sunday
meeting was held.
Many hundreds of people came on
foot from the nearby residence sec
tions. Long lines of motors drew up
on the streets adjacent to the audito
rium and everyone hurried to get to
the Hippodrome before 8 o'clock, when
the speaking was scheduled to start
and after which hour it was announced
none would be seated.
Because of the huge size of the Hip
podrome and the imme-se crowd, there
was some confusion. Reserved seat
.ticket holders were compelled to strug
gle through, massed crowds of people
without tickets, who sought seats, and
those with green tickets resented pref
erence shown to holders of white
tickets.
After all seats were filled a dense
crowd stood in the far end of the Hip
podrome and strained their ears to
cat.ph the Sunday oratory. Occasionally
thjy called "Louder," uut Mr. Sunday
was doing the best he could. To one
such shout he answered
"If you'll just keep still, I'll make
you hear; you're doing fine."
He megaphoned with his hands and
stood on his tiptoes, using every ef
fort to send his voice down the long
auditorium.
People who sat in the rows of seats
behind him at one end. of the Hippo
drome urged him near the finish of his
talk to turn around so they might
hear. He also urged them to be quiet
and said he would do the best he could
for them, but as the greater portion
of the crowd was in front, he could
Dot well turn and face the rear.
On the streets outside the building
a pamphlet was handed to people as
they passed which severely criticised
Billy Sunday and his methods. The
severest possible arraignment of the
man and his methods was contained in
this leaflet, published in the form of
& newspaper.
Mr. Sunday referred to this when
he began to speak and later in. his
talk, as he was thoroughly warmed
up, he suddenly seized a chair and
sprang upon it, shouting out:
"If you're here, you dirty dog, get
up. I want to tell you what a dirty
scoundrel you are.
There was no response. Mr. Sunday
eaid tnat anyone who engages in the
work he is doing becomes at once the
target for vilification and abuse. He
declared he was ready to meet all such
attacks.
BILLY SUNDAY RAPS RUM

ing helpless, bl jeding from every pore.
Long before the finish the demon
was ready to givs up, for he was pelted
and flayed for an hour and a half. But
there were no backers to toss in the
sponge, and so Mr. Sunday's antagonist
had no chance to ask for quarter. Who
ever arranged fast night's encounter,
and it was the Oregon Anti-Saloon
League, is guilty of poor matching.

Dynamic Speaker Attacks.
It was all too unequal to be sport
It was slaughter.
Billy Sunday started to talk at S:2(l.
At S:43 he was so hot and perspiry
that he pitlled off his coat and fought
In his shirt sleeves. From then on he
dripped perspiration all over the
squared circle. He should have had a
second to wave a bath towel.
The dynamic evangelist attacked all
along the line at once. He was every
where. He followed the advice of that
old general who declared that the way
to defend is to attack. It was always
me oiiensive mat Mr. Sunday followed.
To say that he as breezy and whim
sical in his remarkable harangue is
but to put it mildly. He was more
like- a pyrotechnic display seen only
when a fireworks store or a munitions
factory catches fire. Colloquial slang
was favored by the speaker. He in
jected mild profanity, called names
that were not pretty and ranged the
four corners of the universe for simile
and metaphor, while all the figures
known to rhetoricians were Jumbled
together in a confused mass.
Speaker Liberal With Figcurea.
He shoveled out figures with a liberal
hand, showing the evil consequences
of "booze." When he said that t00,000
people died in this country last year
from "booze" one could not but im
agine the statement to be rash, at least.
But the audience was in no mood to
calculate the correctness of the figures
Billy Sunday quoted. The house was
more than half filled with women. En
thusiasm ruled and every little while
a great wave of applause swept over
the crowded auditorium.
Mr. Sunday won his audience when
he started with a reference to Portland
as a city of happy homes, beautiful
lawns and an abundance of flowers.
He referred to Governor Withycombe
and Mayor Albee. who were intro
duced, as officials with courage who
did not straddle the fence when it
comes to public issues.
Whisky COnalKned to Inferno.
Ho scored again when he paid a high
tribute to the Columbia River High-
way and said it was the greatest
scenic trip a man ever rode over.
By way or feeling out his antagonist.
Mr. Sunday started by issuing a gen
eral defi to "booze" supporters every
where. "I ask no quarter from the
dirty bunch, he said.
"Whisky is all right in its place.
but its place in in hell Just as soon ns
you can put it there, he shouted.
"Now listen here to me," he continued
"If you've got any place to put it. II
you haven't, just look wise. I want
to live long enough to see the white
dove of prohibition build her nest on
the Capitol at Washington and spread
her wings over a happy and prosper
ous country. I am going to live long
enough to fee Cncle Sam go out of the
saloon business."
Keep Dry, t'rget Mr. Sunday.
Mr. Sunday delivered his address.
"Get on the Water Wagon," fcritten
some years ago, that is credited with
having made many communities in
this country dry. He interjected some
remarks into It regarding the local
situation, urging that Oregon people
do not again admit liquor into this
state, but in the main it was the orig
inal speech. He followed the text
somewhat closely, keeping a copy be
fore him and reading occasionally.
As he progressed through it, his col
lar wilted and he mopped the perspir
ation from his brow with a kerchief.
He put all his wonderful energy into
his address, gesticulating, waving his
arms and shouting with all his might.
"You're the biggest gang of. liars
this side of hell, and I take pleasure
in telling you so," he shouted, in de
fying a mythical bunch of distillers.
Talk. Sfnsrularly Diseonneeted.
"Russia drove out the 'booze' and
crime has decreased 63 per cent. It's
worse than war, it's worse than pesti-
MISSIO.XARV FROM AFRICA TO
Sl'ttAK. HERE FRIDAY
r
H0
Rev. Si". B. Ghormley.'
After passing several interest
ing years in Natal, Africa, in
charge of Edwaleni Training
School there. Rev. N. B. Ghorm
ley has been in Portland on fur
lough for some days. Tomorrow
night he will give an address at
the Rodney-Avenue Christian
Church and will show samples of
work of the native students of
his school. All who'are interest
ed in missionary enterprises will
be welcomed. The school in Natal
is conducted by the Free Metho
dists. lence; it's worse than famine. That's
the rotten business to hell with it
that's my message," and the crowd
yelled and applauded.
If you don t like the way we do
things in America, there's a ship sail
ing from New York and you had better
go and get aboard," was a declaration
about nothing in particular that
brought out the wildest applause.
For Mr. Sunday s talk was singu
larly disconnected. There was not i
logical or wholly sane moment in it.
It was invective run riot and mixed
metaphor gone mad. One moment it
was statistics as to the terrible eco
nomic waste of "booze." Again it was
the recital of an act of madness by i
drink-crazed youth. Then it was de
fiance to the rum-soaked forces of
perdition, into which flashes of hu
mor, of odd phrasing and slang wedded
to the noblest sentiments, would be
injected without coherence or reason.
Auditor Hans on Word.
But the audience liked it and hung
on every word. There was no need
to ask for order. Attention of the most
rapt sort was the speaker's from the
start. He shouted out such aphorisms
as these:
"If there ever was a jubilee in hell
It was when lager beer was invented.
"The saloon is a murder mill and a
poison factory.
"The only difference betweerl a high
toned and a lowdown saloon is that
one stinks and the other smells bad.
"If some men would drink more
water, their families would have more
bread.
" 'That damned stuff called alcohol.
said Robert Ingersoll, and he was
right, the only time I ever knew of him
being right.
"We are getting wise to the con
game of the rummies."
Meeting? Smack of 1'olitictt.
Last night's was the first public
meeting of Billy Sunday in Portland
since early in 1909, when he conducted
a revival meeting at the White Temple.
He was then engaged in that line of
work in company with Mrs. Sunday.
"Mel" Trotter and Mrs. Trotter.
The Hippodromfe last night, while
the crowds waited for Mr. Sunday to
appear, resembled somewhat a modern
political convention. But like a cham
pionship prizefight, there were a num
oer of preliminaries to be gone through
before the stellar bout of the evening.
The meeting, under the auspices of
the Oregon Anti-Saloon League, was
opened by singing "America." This was
followed by dry campaign songs by the
Hammer male quartet, of Albany. E.
A. Baker, secretary of the Anti-Saloon
League, asked that all rise and sing
The fatar-fepangled Banner." This was
done. . Then Dr. Clarence True Wilson
delivered the invocation.
Secretary Baker then said:
Mayor and Governor Speak.
"You have come to hear the greatest
expert on heaven and hell in the world,
but before he is introduced I want to
present R. P. Hutton, superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League of Oregon."
Mr. Hutton attacked the brewers
amendment and thought the time ripe
for taking up a collection to carry on
the fight against that measure at the
November election. Tin pans with
Pledges were passed among the audi
ence and considerable funds secured.
Mr. Hutton said the meeting cost
about $1000.
Secretary Baker next introduced Ma
yor Albee. With a brief word he in
troduced Governor Withycombe, who.
in turn, presented Billy Sunday. Upon
the platform were seated prominent
citizens and well-known prohibition
workers.
N o Quarter Given.
During last night's talk Mr. Sunday
said:.
I am the sworn, eternal, uncom
promising enemy of the liquor traffic.
I ask no quarter and I give none. I
have drawn the sword in defense of
God. home, wife, children and native
land, and I will never sheathe it until
the undertaker pumps me full of em
balming fluid, and if my wife Is alive,
I think I shall call her to my bedside
and say: Nell. when I am dead, send
for the butcher and skin me, and have
my hide tanned and made into drum
heads, and hire men to go up and
down the land and beat the drums and
say: "My husband. 'Bill Sunday, still
lives and gives the whisky gang a run
for their money".'
"The saloon is the sum of all vil
lainies. It is worse than war. worse
than pestilence, worse than famine.
It is the crime of crimes. It is the
mother of sins. It is the appalling
source of misery, pauperism and crime.
It is the source of three-fourths of
all the crime.
Saloon Called Mother of Liars.
The saloon is a liar. It promises
good cheer and sends sorrow. It prom'
isea health and causes disease. It
11
promises prosperity and sends adver
sity. It promises happiness and sends
misery. Yes, it sends the husband
home with a lie on his lips to his
wife; and the boy home with a lie on
his lips to his mother; and it causes
the employe to lie to his employer. It
degrades. It is God's worst enemy
and the devil's best friend. Seventy
five per cent of impurity comes from
the grog-shop. It spares neither youth
nor old age. It is waiting with a
dirty blanket for the baby to crawl
into this world. It lies in wait for
the unborn.
"'Booze' cocks the highwayman's
pistol. It puts the rope in the hands
of the mob. It is the anarchist of the
world and its dirty "red flag is dyed
with tbe blood of women and children,
and it sent tbe bullet through the body
of Lincoln: it nerved the arms that
sent the bullets through Garfield and
William McKinley. Yes. it is a mur
derer. Every plot that was ever
hatched against our flag and every
anarchist plot against the government
and law, was born and bred, find
crawled out of the grogshop to damn
this country.
Corse Declared on Trade.
"I tell you that the curse of God
Almighty is on the saloon. Legisla
tures are legislating against it. Des
cent society is barring it out. The
fraternal brotherhoods are knocking it
out. The Masons and the Oddfellows,
the Knights of Pythias and the Ancient
Order of United Workmen closed their
doors to the wnlsky sellers. They
don't want you 'wriggling your carcass
in their lodges. Yes, sir, I tell you, the
curse of God is on it. It is on the down
grade. It is headed for hell, and by
the grace of God. I am going to give
it a push, with a whoop, for all I know
how.
'Do you know of any fellow who
died young because he did not drink?
Do you know of any fellow who com
mitted, suicide because he drank too
much water? Do you know of any
fellow who killed his wife because he
drank too much coffee? The saloon is
murder mill and a poison factory.
The only difference between a high-
toned saloon and a low-down saloon is
one smells bad and the other stinks.
I.lfioor Utves "Pnm to Hell."
'The Baloon comes as near being a
rat hole for a wage earner to dump
his wages in as anything you can find.
The only interest it pays is red eyes
and foul breath and the loss of your
health. You go in with money and you
come out with empty pockets. You go
in with character and you come out
ruined. You go in with a good position
and you lose it. You lose your posi
tion in the bank, or in the cab of the
locomotive. And it pays nothing back
but disease and damnation and gives
an extra dividend in delirium tremens
and a free pass to hell. And then it
will let your wife be buried in the pot
ter's field, and your children go to the
asylum, and yet you walk out and say
that the saloon is a good institution,
when It is the dirtiest thing on earth.
It hasn't one leg to stand on and has
nothing to commend it to a decent man;
not one thing.
What is the matter with our coun
try? I would like tG do like this: I
would like to see every 'booze-fighter
get on the water wagon. I would like
to summon all the drunkards in Amer
ica and say: 'Boys, let's cut her out
and spend the money for flour, meat
and calico; what do you sayT
Fend Ajcalnat Liquor Asserted.
"There are 865.000 whisky orphan
children In the Lnited States: enough
in the world to belt this globe three
times around, punctured at every fifth
point by a drunkard's widow.
Like Hamilcar of oid, who swore
young Hannibal to eternal enmity
against Rome, so I propose to perpetu
ate this feud against the liquor traffic.
until the white-winged dove of tern
perance builds her nest on the dome of
the Capitol at Washington and spreads
her wings of peace, sobriety and joy
over our land and we can stand a free
and sober Nation and sing, "My country
'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of
thee I sing.'
"As my friend. Alex Cairns, says, "We
are getting wise to the con-game of
the four-flushing rummies. It gives
you bats in your belfry, floating gib
lets, and inflammation of the gizzard
and ingrowing coffin nails. The 'booze'
hates the trade union. Nobody ever
heard of "union-made whisky." Even
drinking bartender can't find a Job,
The railroads and steel mills and the
manufacturers say. 'No Job for you, if
you rush the growler.
"I tell you 'booze' strikes in the
night. It fights under cover of dark
ness and assassinates the characters
that it cannot damn, and it lies abou
you. It attacks defenseless womanhood
and childhood.
"The saloon is a coward. Tt is
thief; it is not an ordinary defender
that steals your money, but it robs you
of manhood and leaves you in rags and
takes away your friends, and it robs
your family. It impoverishes your chil
dren and it brings insanity and suicide.
It will take the shirt off your back and
it will steal the coffin from a dead
child and yank the last crust of bread
out of the hand of the starving child
it will take the last bucket of coal out
of your cellar, and the last cent out of
your pocket, and will send you horn
bleary-eyed and staggering to your
wife and children.

CAMP WITHYCOMBE. Or., Aug. 8.
Special.) Shortly before 9 o'clock to-
ight the detachment of recruits for
Oregon troops, that has been forming
t Camp Withycombe since June 30,
left for the border on a special train.
There are 161 men In the detach
ment. They went unaer the command
ot Captain George Schumacher. As-
isting Captain Schumacher as acting
ergeants are Oren A. Mulkey, Hart-
and Watson. Eustace C. Groce and
Charles Henrys.
Friends and relatives thronged the
camp today bidding the boys good-bye.
Men who were happy and gay last
night were just a bit sober at the
thought of what might lie before them.
A Jollification party, preparatory to
departure, was held at the Y. M. C. A.
ent last night. There was some sing
ing of the old-time war songs and they
went with a martial swing.
A kangaroo court was held, the object
being to procure funds for tobacco on
the trip, but all victims were found to
be as "flat" broke as judge ana jury
and they took the alternative medicine,
that of running the gauntlet.
Recruits holding semiofficial posi
tions in camp were then summoned for
speeches, the intention being to impose
similar penalties following tneir
speeches: but their eloquence carried
the day. and Judge and Jury had not
the heart to impose the penalty, this
afternoon one of the recruits, who re
mains behind, donated enough tobacco
to co around.
rantains Georsre Schumacner ana Lari
Rittersoacher addressed the men brief-
y. Captain Schumachi r told tnem not
to become dissatisfied at inaction in
camp and he pointed out that the his
tory of all campaigns was tn-l one oi
the biggest mistakes made had been
the sending of untrained ana unsea
soned soldiers into action.
Captain Schumacher also dwelt upon
the necessity of discipline and obedi
ence. A man is no true soiaier, ne
said, "until' he i:j able to render sub
conscious obedience to orders." He com-
nlimentert the men upon their fine ap
pearance and told tnem tnat ne meant
no flattery when he said he had never
anywhere seen a better aggregation of
men.
Captain Rltterspacher asked the men
to weigh carefully the words of Cap
tain Schumacher, emphasizing mat no
one couia say wnen tney hiikhi no
nulled into action.
Captain Williams was unable to De
present.
Recruiting will be conunuea vigor
