Prohibition Rally at Salem
Brings Out Largest Crowd
of the Campaign.
MOTHERS TRUNDLE BABIES
Liquor Issue in Marion County Over
shadows Senatorial Fight School
Children Parade at Eu
gene and Med ford.
. SALEM, Or., May 30. (Special.) In a
parade five blocks long, probably the
longest procession ever seen in Salem,
the anti-saloon . workers .demonstrated
their earnestness in a fight to be decided
Monday, when Marlon County will vote
"wet" or "dry." The procession was
formed in "Wilson avenue and traversed
the principal business streets to Marion
square, where a number of addresses
were made.
The procession was made up of men,
women and children, the most affecting
feature of the demonstration being the
mute appeal of a number of women who
marched along pushing baby carriages.
Numerous banners were - displayed bear
ing legends, a specimen of which is, "You
may vote a saloon for my boy, but I
won't vote one for yours." The crowd
at the square was the largest public
gathering of the general campaign In
Marlon County.
So far as public interest Is concerned,
the saloon question has apparently over
shadowed the senatorial question here.
In the matter of literature distributed
and newspaper discussion on both sides,
the work done has been far in excess
of that done in behalf of all candidates
of all parties in this county." It is be
lieved that the vote on the liquor ques
tion will be close. The liquor people
have hopes of holding Marion In the
"wet'' column because it is an extensive
hop-producing county; because there Is a
brewery located here and because a num
ber of the outlying precincts are
strongly pro-saloon.
The anti-saloon people base their hopes
largely ; upon the general trend of sa
loon sentiment in the United States, and
are encouraged by the fact that many
merchants are turning against the sa
loon because they believe they would sell
more goods if the liquor dealers sold less.
The killing of City Marshal Krechter in
a drunken riot at Champoeg about two
years ago and the killing of Theodore
Goulson by "Victor D'Anna, who took his
own life, something over a year ago, were
incidents of which the anti-saloon people
have 'made much In this campaign.
