THE SUNDAY OREGOyiAX. POBTXANP, JULY ggJHW. " -r -rr K 1 NEUTRALITY PACT IS PROPOSED BY DRYS League to Make No Choice Be tween Parties if Amend ment Is Not Fought. TWO READY TO ACCEPT E. A. Baker's Plan Is Indorsed by Republican and Democratic leaders Letter Outlines Proposed! Agreement. A plan proponed by E. A. Baker, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Oregon, is that the dry forces of the state pledge themselves to strict neutrality between any and 11 parties and candidates on condi tion that those parties and candidates pledge a like neutrality as between the wet and dry forces. This plan, as submitted to the offi cial party leaders, had received the in dorsement of Bert K. Haney, chair man of the Democratic state central committee, and C. B. Moores. chairman of the Republican state central com mittee. While the executive commit tee of the Progressive party has not yet taken action, those prominent in party councils have indicated their opinion that the proposition is a fair one and have said that they believe it will be indorsed. W. 'S. U'Ren. inde pendent candidate forOovernor. also lias signified his approval, it is said. Prohlbltloalsts Xot Anknl. The letter embodying the proposal t is not sent to the Prohibition party, as it is its well-known policy to make prohibition a party Issue. According to the understandings as outlined in the letter, the parties and candidates are to pledge themselves further that in case the "dry" amend ment ts passed they will assist in pro curing legislative enactment which will make ample provision for the en forcement of the law and provide ade quate penalties to lnsuro enforcement. Still another condition of the agree ment t that the parties and candidates further pledge themselves that In case of the defeat of the proposed amend ment they will not become party to auy attempt to repeal existing laws on the liquor question that have been adopted by direct vote of the people. Avoiding Prejudice Is Aim. The Anti-Saloon League and the com mittee of 10. it is announced, are very desirous of keeping the question out of partisan politics, realizing that there are scores of thousands of people who will vote for the amendment in all of the parties and that many of these might become prejudiced against the amendment If the amendment forces set themselves In array against their candidates. Superintendent Baker points out that similar plan was followed in West Virginia two years ago, when prohibi tion carried by 92.000 majority. He claims that the majority was largely made possible by the fact that the dry forces did not oppose a single candi date for any office. Following the adoption of the amend ment in West Virginia, the most drastic regulation bill ever proposed In any state passed the lower house unani mously, and passed the Senate with only one vote against It. Governor Hatfield Immediately signed It. Brewery Lawyer Keepa Pledge. As an example of the working out of the agreement, Mr. Baker cites the fact that John P. Arbenz, an attorney for a brewery, was a member of the Legislature. He voted In committee to recommend the strict regulatory meas ure and voted for It in the House. The letter which the Anti-Saloon League has sent out In Oregon to the state chairmen and state officers will be followed up by similar letters to the county chairmen and candidates for the Legislature. It is probable that In many counties the local organizations will take similar steps to Insure neu trality as between the county candi dates and the assistance of the elected officers in enforcing the law, provid ing the amendment is adopted. Letter Is Given. The letter follows: Portland. Or, July 23. Dear Sirs: The Anti-Saloon League desires to come to an Important understanding ith you. We are a non-partisan body. Wo believe that those aspiring to public office in your party ure honorable enough not only to runpect the will of tne people when ex pressed, but to leuve the people free from prejudice and pressure regarding a measure When that measure is sot a partisan issue. As a league we have but a single aim in the niaaent nl it ssinirtiiliP' via.: to secure the popular ratification of the non -partisan Initiative constitutional amendment for "Oregon dry." We desire a free and un prejudiced expression hy the people on this ouestlon. uncomplicated with other mess tires, partv policies, or personalities of can didates. We do not wish to secure a dry ote beyond normal through the aid of any party. We do not wish to be burdened with the personality of any candidate. We believe In the fair-minded public spirit and political honesty of your party nd Its candidates. We believe that if the amendment is adopted you are ready to pledge your aid In the legislative depart ment in securing laws providing for Its strict enforcement and fixing adequate pen alties for its violation. We believe, further, that you are ready to pledge the co-operation of the administra tive and executive departments (provided you hold them) in making the law effect ive: and. since the local option laws have been secured by direct action of the people themselves, we are confident that you will not attempt, by legislative action, to re peal them. In order that we may defend that belief, will you assure us from party headquar ters, and through your candidates for state offices and legislative offices, that this is your position? We shall observe strict neutrality as be tween parties and candidates, so long as they observe a like neutrality toward the amendment. Tf the amendment is opposed we shall fight, whether the opponent be an Individual candidate or a political party. Confusion defeats the purpose of popular government, delays progress and injures prosperity. Lt us come together In an aereement to keep the air clear. Awaiting your early reply, we are yours very cordially. . ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE OK OREGOX. By IJj. A. Baker. Superintendent. PALOUSE CROP IMMENSE Sir. Mo Murray, Back Irom Extensive Trip.

This club was political also " was the first definite invasion of suffrage In Manhattan. , It is three years now since the Bel mont Club passed out of the Four teenth District and no similar organ ization has taken its place. Which is one of the reasons that Miss Donnelly has selected the Murray Hill Lyceum for her new suffrage dansant cam paign. Her new dansant is meant to bring back to these people some of the things they have been missing and mourning. Fifth and Third Avenues Mix. Fifth avenue and Third avenue are to touch finger tips in the tango and testify to the common brotherhood ol women. The immortal glory of suf frage Is to be innoculated. incidentally, but decisively, in all the fair maidens pf Fifth avenue and Third avenue and in their escorts. Miss Donnelly is determined that though they may come but to hesitate they shall remain to demand the vote for woman. Her dansant is to be a rallying place for all the various suf frage organizations of the district in and about Manhattan. Miss Donnelly has announced that she invites them to step forward and book their own especial days when each of them, one at a time, can plan the coming Fall campaign in businesslike 20th century fashion, between the maxixe and the lame duck.
