PROPHECY AS TO RESULTS III Llllll i: - Statement No. 1 Men to Win : Closing Rallies Tlie Anti-Saloon Fight. (Special DUpatcfe to Iks Jooraal) Albany, Or., May 80. The campaign in Linn county Is rapidly drawing to a close and the final rallies of the respeo live parties ; will close It tonight. A close canvass of the county has been made by all candidates and the Indica tions are tnat mucn-muea ucaets win -le VQt oa election day. It is conceded that a full Statement No. 1 delegation -will be sent from Linn county to the 'Oregon legislature. .The county offices . will be hotly contested and toossibly the -fruits of victory will be divided. "' The greatest possible interest centers in the question of "wet" or "dry" and h campaign has become one or great bitterness. . Literature of all kinds is 'being mailed to voters. - Botb sides are working night and day. The drys are calmly confident that they will win with a greater majority- than that of two years ago. The farming element Is .almost a unit against the proposition of an open town and wet county, - &ooal Option Circular. . 'XZ-, In a large circular mailed to ' each oter in the county by the Good Cltl . sens' league of Linn county the names of those signing the petition for an election were published, with the amount of taxable property" represented ' by each, aa shown on the tax rolls of the county. : In opposition to these pe titioners a remonstrance wis also cir culated showing the names ; of men prominent in business who aaid they "were satisfied with the law as now en acted and opposed - to a return to the .' open saloon. ' In addition the .tax valu . atlon of the property of thesa men was "set forth and a comparison was made ,with the men anxious for the present ..conditions to be reversed. - The object "was to show It was not the taxpayers : that were demanding return to the li censed saloon regime. - . The circular Is entitled "Local Option Statement No. X" and is addressed to ..the voters; of the .county. ,Vv .. ;y -X;fd'i Matts'lVom;tle.01ola jt t A direct quotation reads as follows: - "As you know, Linn county has been "-without saloons for about two years. A 'desperate effort la being made by the Liquor Dealers' association -not-only to restore saloons to the towns of our county but to so break down the pres ent local option law in the state that It Twill be Impossible to have a, majority -rule In reference to the liquor -question, We deelre that you give earnest con sideration to the bearing of this matter 'upon your best Interests and the best interests of your fellowmen, and if the saloon has never done you any good; If the saloon has ne,ver done your friends any good; If the' saloon has never done Linn county any good, we ask that you vote 'against the return of It "to Linn county, for It has done somebody some harm. , , -lTh.:t't4lauor.,....lealers' association through its subsidised newspapers and other literature has claimed that the local option movement was a movement of religious fanatics, who pay no taxes and have no care for the financial side of the question. That this is not a fact 0 far as Linn county Is concerned no one will denx who reads , this circular through. . !? "The Liauor Dealers' association had men employed for over a month to go ever this entire county to get a petition signed by as large a number of citlsens us possible. ' Every man who was known to be in sympathy with the sa loon system was canvassed. They did their best to make a good showing on that petition. "With the exception of a few men who did not understand the nature of the petition when they signed it (some of whom have -signed the Indorsement of the local option law and will vote, for Its matntnanoe;. ins names or tne mwi on this petition are the names of all the men who are really anxious for the re turn of the saloons to Linn county. Do they represent the 121,000,000 worth of properly in Linn county? Are they the men who are carrying on the business of the county? Have you seen many of these names among the Albany Boost ers? -. . Taxpayers Compared. "Of the 70 J persons who signed this petition 344 pay no taxes into the Linn county treasury,, although a few of them have paid as high as $200 apiece into the treasury as fines for running 'blind piss' during the last two years. Three hundred ana fifty pay taxes on a total Valuation of $794,665; of these TS pay taxes on a valuation of less than $500 apiece. - . "Of the 727 signers of the Indorse ment of the law, SIS pay taxes in Linn county on a valuation of $2,004,980 wortn or property, i nese men are not found among the 1 'knockers' of Linn county. They are not supporting papers that are circulating the false reports that there are empty business blocks in tne nean or tne city since promoiuon went into effect. You will find them among the 'boosters.' who are spending their money o aavercise ine . wmam ette valley that legitimate business may be Increased, that farm land may advance In value and that farm pro due may bring a better price." . v The Indorsement. ' The Indorsement is as follows: ' "We, the citlsens of Linn county, Oregon, desire to express our . moat hearty approval of the local option law, by, virtue of which our eounty has been without saloons for two years. During this period business nas been on a steady Increase. The . towna of the county were never so prosperous as they are today; and while the law should be much better enforced than It has been, we believe that It Should be maintained, for business as wall as for moral reasons. . W call your attention to the fact tnat witn tne exception or a rew reput able druggists, the men who have been holding government revenue stamps for the retail of intoxicating liquor In this MIOtI COUNTY'S DRYS III PARADE Nearly 3,000 .

There was a large per centage of men of all ' ages In the pa rade, and a larga number of women wheeling their babies before them la baby carriages. - county have signed th petition for the resubmission of this question." Indiana Governor Quoted. A conundrum is printed on the fore front of the circular tnat reads as ioi lows: "If the statement of the liquor men is true, vis: that the "blind pigs' sell more 'boose' under a law that prohibits the saloon than the same 'blind pigs' sell when we have saloons, why did every man in the couny who has been every man In the county who has been for the resubmission of the question V A statement from Governor Hartley of Indiana is given wherein he says of the liquor traffic : "I hate it for the load it straps to labor's back, for the palsied hand It fives to toll, for the Wounds to genius, or the tragedies of Its might-have-beens, for th almshouses It peoples, for the prisons It fills, for the Insanity It begets, for the countless graves In potter's fields."
