T A Famous New York Manufacturer MEIER & FRANK'S Has Hastened to Us His Full Line of Knit Underwear Samples "Pussyoot" Johnson is on the scene. The man who drove " the bootleggers out of Indian Territory is here. The man who as chief rpeclal officer of the United States' India a fcrvlce secured more than 4000 '-..coo victions for infrac tions of the liquor laws is in Portland to direct ' the publicity--of the Anti- Saloon league in itha "dry " fights on this year in Oregon, Washington. Cal ifornla and. Colorado. A o Althosgh'. knownv everywhere as Pusuyfoot," 'WiHiain- E. Johnson is his name and he halls trdm' Weetervllle, Ohio, a suburb, of Columbus, where he serves as , managing editor of all the publishing Interests of the Anti-Saloon league, which Is no. small shucks of a Job, as the league publishes 33 'peri odicals. He is also editor of the -New Republic and will thave another paper soon when the league establishes its proposed dally at Washington. U. C. , Great Tear 7redlotea. While here Johnson can be found at the league's publicity headquarters in the Stock Exchange building with one of his co-publicity workers, H. P. Hut ton, directing the "dry'? propaganda for the four western . States that are -to r-ave state-wide prohibition , elections on November 3. "This is going to be' a, great "year for the 'dry' forces," he aid yesterday. 'West Virginia has already left the wet' ranks. Washington, Oregon, Cal ifornia and Colorado vote on the issue November 3, and indications are that nil four tnto will h carried In favor of prohibition. And on September 22 Virginia decides the question. The outlook Is most hopeful there as over one half of the voters signed the 'dry' petition. "In Wushlngton of 319.000 vote 112.000 names were procured for the original petitions while 67.000 names came In later. I can't say much about the Oregon situation, for I have Just reached th: state, but in Colorado the dry' wentlment is growing rapidly. j Saloons Were Closed. "Occupation by the federal troops of the strike zone In that state carried wltli it the closing of all saloons. Once i lost d the people were enabled to see the difference between 'dry' and 'wet' and converts were made by the score. Even the editor of 'a Boulder paper that had been strongly 'wet' was con vinced by his brief experience in a 'dry' city. "I can't see where the question of hops has any bearing on the prohibi tion Issue in thls'state. Statistics show that only about 2 per cent of the hops' grown in the state are consumed in .Oregon, while the other 98 per cent ale exported, moBt of them going to Kngiand. England will not go 'dry for many a year and Oregon hops will always find a market." Mr. 'Johnson has been fighting the cause of prohibition for many years, not 'only as a worker for the Anti Saloon league but as a government officer unti as a journalist. His early jitjwwpaper experience 'was gained on the Lincoln (Neb.) Dally News, later becoming associate editor of the New ., Vork Voice, and then editor of the New . Voice, Chicago. In 1906, an Special agent of the de partment of the interior, it became his duty, to -enforce the liquor laws in Indian : Territory and Oklahoma, later being made chief Bpeclal agent of the United 8taten Indian service and serv ing from 1908 to 9U. 4000 Convictions Xecord. In his term or live years tie se cured more than 4000 convictions in criminal prosecutions, worked among and fought the most desperate of crooks and bootleggers, had eight of ... his men killed in performance of the! - duty and gained the soubriquet of Pussyfoot." Mi-, Johnson's experiences In track lng and capturing lawbreakers who sold liquor to the Indians were exciting und vailed enough to fill a book, and his work as an "outlaw smasher' was highly successful. In addition to his convictions he smashed more than half a. million bottles of whiskey and buri.ed out 78 dives as part of h i work. The story of Johnson and his deputies is told by Joseph Heighten in . th current number of "The Wide World." "Pussyfoot" beat" the bad men at their own game, but after five years . of thrills and perils he retired to the . comparative quiet . of editing for the Anti-Saloon league, which publishes thre tons of printed matter a day. Now ho Is out in Oregon and will un : doubtedly play an important part In - the "dry" fight on the Pacific coast. Mr. Johnson is a member of all the leading international temperance or ganizations, and is the: author of a ' number of books and brochures on the liquor "question.
