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. .

(Salem Bureau of The Journal.)
Salem, Or., May $0. Local optlonlsts
had a big demonstration on the streets
of Salem this afternoon. Nearly $,000
women and children carried banners In

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."

The annual meeting of the members
and employes of Ellers - Piano House
was held In the new rooms of th Com
mercial club last evening. Nothings
could more forcibly show the . far-reaching-
work done by - this popular
Portland Institution than demonstrated
In this meeting-.
Nearly 100 young people, Including
managers, salesmen, stenographers,
tuners and delivery men, participated In
the banquet and discussions that fol
lowed. The surprise of the evening
was the rendition of several selections
by the newly organised Eilers . Bym-
nony Orchestra, composed entirely of
iilers employes. "" .

of the organization, presided and many
Interesting discourses were listened , to

Interests of the Arm, gave a comprehen
sive history of the development of the
business on Puget sound, which today
Is housed in the Arm's magnificent
seven-story building, Just completed, on
the corner of Third and University
streets.
Uy J. Eilers, president of the con
cern, had just returned from Califor

count of the work accomplished at that
point, which culminated a few days ago
In the firm's entering the superb new
seven-story Eilers Music , buildln
(earthquake, and fireproof) on - upper
Market street, one of th show places
of the newly rebuilt places of San Fran

teresting account of th developments
In that territory.
The growth of the Sookana branch of
Eilers Piano House Is probably not I
