As to the $4,000,000 alleged to have been secured bv you. It Is the general Impression in Oregon that Senators llourne. Chamberlain and Lane and Representatives Binnott and I.afferty have had something to do with the curing of these appropriations, and I challenge the truth of the statement that you personally secured this $4,- W0.000. Ai to fhe $2,000,000 more which you nay you win ooiain lor ims uisinci inav I ask If rou will secure it per sonally, or with the aid of Senators Chamberlain and Lane.

I have had secured from the public records at Washington what purports to be a record of all the bills and reso lutions introduced by you up to and Including the 63rd congress. With thn -purpntlnn of nrivate Dension bills, which go through as a matter of course each representative being al lowed 'to Introduce from 12 to 15 each " regular session of congress, this re port shows you have introduced 165 bills and resolutions and that only of them became laws, the other 1 4 8 having been sidetracked or having died In committees.

Keen rivalry between Mr. Haak and Jason Moore, who represents New York people and had made a counter prop osition for the lakes, at a meeting of the state land board yesterday after noon, would have led to a personal en-r counter between the two had not Gov ernor West interfered. Mr. Haak told Mr. Moore that statements he had made were not true, whereupon Moore invited Haak outside. Haak grabbed his hat and started to go when the governor sprang between the two and said they were trespassing, as he did all the fighting that was to be done around the; place.

Nearly 300 Prohibitionists from all parts of the state were In attendance at the opeiing session' of the two-day state convention of the Prohibition party which opened in Portland at the Taylor Street Methodist church this morning. Little more th'an temporary organi zation of the- convention was accom plished at the session, but with the presence of Eugene W. Chafln. twice candidate for president of the United States on the Prohibition ticket, and Virgil G. Hlnshaw of Chicago, national chairman of the party, at the meeting, the 1914 convention promises to be the greatest in the history of the party in this state.

Bright of The Dalles wag named by the emporary chairman as the concluding business of the ses slon. Alio Kiuyvi ai; uioiiiiioil n buvaido presumaply expressing the keynote of the convention took up most of the morning.- Rumor had it that an at tempt would be made to adjourn the nomination of candidates for state of fleers until after the primary election so as to see what candidates would be available for the Prohibition party's Indorsement. No -attempt of this kind was made this rooming,, however, and from the trend- of Mr. Emerson's remarks it seemed most probable that the party will go ahead and nominate from with in Its own ranks candidates to carry on the out-to-win fight in this state this fall. "Prohibition," remarked Mr. Emer son, "is a political question. It Is a question of partisanship and it never will be settled in any other way. Non partisanship cc.n but mean failure for our cause. We must stand together for principle. "If . a man is a Republican or Dem ocrat and has firm convictions that the liquor traffic should be abolished, he Is not where he ought to be, he should be with us, - 'Why should we wait to see what the brewery parties are going to do? Why should we cringe before the' other parties and powerful political organi zations of the state. There should be no compromise on any isue-jwe stand for a great principle and the Prohi bition party should not be expected to sacrifice Itself any more than the Re publican. Democratic or Progressive parties. One Pifffet la Great Battle. "If we lose in Oregon this fall re member it is only one fight in a great battle. Let us be true to those wh have fought the cause before us. Let us not compromise with other parties. Let us never flinch until we have elected men dedicated to prohibition to the legislature, to executive offices of state and national government and un til we have the complete machinery of government to put down this traffic. Mr. Emerson stated that help was needed from present members of the other parties but urged that these help build up the Prohibition party. "As one who understand the trend of th time," he said, "there never was a more dangerous period in our crusada than we face, today. "We are aflame with zeal to drive the liquor traffic from the bounds of our state and in spite of mistakes and obstacles that may come up the prln ciple cannot. die. A mere constitutional amendment will not make Oregon or the nation 'dry.' Party Itself Xs Issue. "The issue before this convention and before the American people today ia: A Prohibition party elected to of flee to enact legislation and direct government that will destroy forever the drink traffic. "Non-partisanship can but fall, wa must stand together on principle. We need men who stand square on our primary proposition, the complete abo lltion of the liquor traffic, and that is the only road to success. Two gavels were presented the chair by the W. C. T. U. of this city at the close of the session. W. L.

SALEM BEER is brewed in one of the most mod ern plants on the Pacific Coast. It is aged, in steel glass-lina tanks. It is conveyed by modern pipe line system direct to the bottle house, bottled under pressure and therefore never comes in contact with the air from the time it leaves the fermenting tank until the bottle is opened by the consumer. The consumer is absoluely assured a beer of ideal effervescence, snap and purity. A trial will surely convince any one of the ex cellence of Salem Bottled Beer.
