Albany;- Or. May 4. the first gun
in the campaign to be made by the
friends of local option liquor law will
be fired tn this oounty today when Dr.
B rougher of Portland speaks In tha
Interest of upholding this law and keep
ing it in full force In this county. Last
week the petition ot about 700 electors
was filed with the oounty clerk asking
that this matter bv referred to the
voters of Linn county.' This has been
checked over and found to be correct
and properly circulated and the ques
tion will appear on the ballot at the
regular June election.
The friends of the law claim It Is
stronger than ever before and will be
heartily indorsed by a big majority.
Two years ago the cry that business
would be Injured was raised by the
liquor interests and the claim was made
that property in Albany would depre
ciate with the cloHing of the saloon.
Antl-aaloon advocates claim to have a
preponderance of testimony from busi
ness men inai ousiness nas not Deen in
jured and that the city Is more prosper
ous man at any time in its nistory, and
that many so testify who are personally
favorable to open saloons. They claim
to be able to produce evidence that
many of those who were previously
most outspoKen against tne measure on
account of apprehended evil effects
upon business are now In line and will
assist in tne anti-saioon right.
xne ngnt win te carried into every
precinct of Linn oounty. The Reddy
amendment is considered the most for
midable element in the comlna- cam
paign ana wiu do xougni oy me men as
Of prohibition.
The county in general is favorable to
the law a. It now stands and the at
tempt to nullify Its effectiveness
through the Reddy amendment haa
aroused the dry element to the most
determined attitude. The Linn County
council, an organisation or all the
grange, in the county, has passed em
phatic, resolutions against this amend
ment. V
