, was -the reason atiaigned today by
Pacific Coast league magnates for
their artion last night in voting to
forfeit the membership of the Sacra-mento-Mieslon
club, which means that
the franchise held by Harry Wolver
ton and Lloyd Jacobs has been ter
minated. It was announce that the
claims of the players would be met
by an assessment of the league.
Wolverton and Jacobs are said to
have lost $46,000 since they bought
the Sacramento club from Jack Atkins,
just what will be done with the Sacra
mento, franchise will be determined
by a committee of three to be ap
pointed today by President Al Baum.
The club directors considered the fate
of Wolverton's club at a meeting here
last night, adjourning at midnight to
meet again at 11 o'clock today.
Recently Wolverton obtained an
option on Recreation park, the old
borne of the Seals, and submitted a
proposition for the use of the park.
He' proposed that the Mission club
should make Its permanent home there
but his plan was opposed by the own
ers of the Oakland and San Fran
cisco clubs.
Leagua directors declared here to
day that If Wolverton could finance
the club for another year they would
be glad to take hlin back Into the fold.
He said, however, that his interests
wer in the hands of an attorney and
he believed they would be properly
cared for. Otherwise h had no state
ment to make.

bezdek Has Two Weeks to
Prepare Players for Clash
With Dobie,
University of Oreson. Kugene, Or.
Oct. 27. With the hard Idaho game
stowed away Oregon will, take it easy
the coming two weeks. The annual
.game Friday hr with Willamette
university is not being taken very seri
ously, because of the weakness of the
SaTem team as evidenced by the big
score, rolled up against them by Stew
arts Aggies early this season. Ore
rem has no game after Friday until
the clash with Dome s men In Seattle,
; November 14. Oregon's tram, now in
such poor shape because of Saturday's
battfTing, ought to be entirely mended
by the time of thp game up north. Re
ports from spectators from here at
Saturday's game at Seattle have it
that tlie score does not 'indicate the
closeness of the game. Washington
uncprked everything they had, "or
they have more than one team ought
to have," as an Oregon fan who wasn't
in the game and who has played foot
Jball on some of the eastern teams, said
today. According to this authority,
Washington used seven or eight for
ward pass formations and' couldn't
'catch the ball. Washington's yardage
was made on round end plays, the Se
attle players being unable to pierce
Whitman's jne The same mar who
requested that hi name benot men
tioned, said that Washington was
lower than last year, and that the team
played to win. "I can't understand It;
Dobie has practically a veteran team.
I expect Oregon to win by two touch
downs when Oregon and Washington
play on the 14th."
Oregon meets O. A. C. November 21
In Corvallis, and ends the schedule for

Business Is Not
"Fine" in Dry
Towns
SALEM SUFFERS
BUSINESS LOSSES
FR0MJRY RULE
Store Property Rentals Drop $75 a
Month in City.
BANK DEPOSITS OFF $300,000
Fourteen Business Houses Quit in
Less Than Year School At
tendance Less.
Many Oregon papers have been
loaded down within the past ttiree
weeks with repeated assurances
that "Business is Fine in Dry
Towns."
The three most important Ore
gon cities to become "dry" nine
months ago were Salem, Oregon
City and Springfield.
If business is fine in those cities
the taxpayers and most of the busi
ness men would like to have the
"drys" explain just what they mean
by "fine." If they had said "busi
ness is thin," then they might have
been more easily understood.
Let them answer first about con
ditions in Salem. Ex-Councilman
John D. Turner, of Salem, an attor
ney,' Is sponsor for the following
facts about that city:
Salem went "dry" December 1
last, closing 15 saloons, three res
taurants and two wholesale houses
and withdrew liquor permits from
eight drugstores and cut off an an
nual license revenue of $15,400.
Ninety men and a monthly payroll
of $5700 were put out of commis
sion. Most of the men have left
the city. All buildings vacated by
these concerns are still empty, ex
cept six, which have been occupied
by tenants who have vacated other
buildings, several ofthe best build
ings being boarded over and used
as billboards. More than 500 mod
ern dwellings are "for rent." Store
property rentals on State street
have drapped $185 to $110 a
month, but "business is fine?'
Fourteen other business places,
have closed since December 1 last,
aside from the saloons and restau
rants. Included are three shoe
stores two by the sheriff and one
voluntarily; one of the largest dry
goods stores has been sued for the
first time in 2 0 years. Scores of
clerks have left the city, causing
the loss of more payrolls to the
city, but "business is fine."
'A leading prohibitionist promised
to build 16 new dwellings if the
city went "dry." Nine houses were
begun, two have the windows and
doors In, but have never been fin
ished; no work has been done on
the others besides their bare
frames.
Building permits from January
to August, the last nine wet months
of 1913, were $388,925; from No
vember, 1913, to September, 1914,
the next 11 "dry" months, they
were $120,000 less, or $268,160.
The grammar sch'bol opening day
enrollment In 1913 was 1510; on
the same day 1914, 1469, but "bus
iness is fine."
Bank deposits show a decrease of
$309,942 since the town went
"dry," even after allowing for the
$4 8o,000 deposited this year from
sale of bonds in Boston. The de
crease, therefore, really should be
$794,942, but "business is fine."
The attendance at the "Cherry
Fair" this year wag about one-half
what it was the last "wet" year.
The Ministerial association before
the election which made Salem
"dry," told the Cherry Fair pro
moters that they would make up for
the 'donations usually made by th
!a salojons, but utterly failed to do bo
, this year and the promoters refused
to hold that carnival. The "Cher
rians," consisting of 100 real boost
ers, but of no prohibitionists, then
pledged their personal membership'
for the necessary funds, requiring
the payment on their part of $500.
To rub it in, the Methodists then
turned their church dnto a restau
rant, put the kitchen In the pulpit
and competed with the legitimate
restaurants for the little business
that their proprietors had hungrily
looked for as a possible annual god
send. ,
Business must be "fine" In any
city when building permits, pay
rolls, bank deposits, bankruptcies
closed stores, depopulated dwell
ings, depressed realty values, school
enrollments and carnival statistic?
. all tell so dreary a story of literal
fact. Maybe the prohibitionists mean
that the "agitation businesses fine.
Five Hundred Names of Men, Women and
Concerns Opposed to State-Wide Prohibition
The Committee of One Hundred has brought this organization into issue by repeated false statements that it is an organization
of one person, Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, its president.
On this page is a statement from Mrs. Duniway herself which should make the blood of every fair-minded citizen of Oregon boil
because of the heartless attacks which this grand old woman of Oregon has silently borne in defense of her conscience.
The Committee of One Hundred challenges the production of one hundred names of Oregonians who are opposed to state-wide
prohibition. It agrees to print these names alongside its own membership of one hundred whenever they are produced.
Herewith are the names of OVER .FIVE HUNDRED Portland men or concerns who have signed the rolls of membership of this
organization and its articles of faith. The orignal signature in each case is exactly as it is written on this page.
These names are published, not so much in the acceptance of any challenge issued by the Committee of One Hundred, as in de
nial of repeated statements that the Taxpayers', and Wage Earners' League consists of but one person, namely, its president, Mrs.
Duniway.
In a spirit of good faith and fair-mindedness and as proof that these charges have been made in error by the Committee of One
Hundred, it would appear that the least that the Committee of One Hundred might do would be the public admission of its own
mistake, in order that the public may relieve that Committee of One Hundred of the suspicion that it is resorting to evasive, even
dishonest politics. H. . C. ALLEN,
Secretary Taxpayers' and Wage Earners' League of Oregon.

AN OPEN LETTER
By Abigail Scott Duniway
Had I not learned many years ago that It is Impossible for a person to hold positive opinions on any
public question without becoming the object of abuse on the part of one's opponents, my days and
nights during the past few weeks would have been filled with much pain and grief.
I have been the constant personal target of hundreds of persons, speaking In the name of prohibition,
who have stormed and raged and vilified because I have publicly opposed their theories.
I have been called from my bed long after midnight on many occasions to answer telephone calls, not
apparently as an act of good faith, but in an effort to harass and discourage me because of my old age.
I am glad to say, however, that I am stronger In my faith, as this campaign draws to its close, and as
I become more and more convinced that the people of Oregon, the big, broad-minded, thinking people,
are about to destroy this fetich which would attempt to make a new generation of spineless weak
Hn4ra by an Impossible scheme of legal eugenics. If fathers and mothers fail to transmit the right
kind of manhood and womanhood to their children, then nothing that the law may attempt to do in
developing their manhood or womanhood can ever succeed.
To those who have unrighteously attacked, vilified and maligned me, I, as the mother of the general
suffrage movement they' are trying to trample in the dust, return nothing but the sweetest of thoughts.
I am glad to have shown on this page, in connection with this letter, that the Taxpayers' and Wage
earners' League has more than "ONE MEMBER." Through these members and through public donation,
this league has raised every penny expended by it In this campaign. Its funds are In no wise connected
with those of any other organization that may be opposing prohibition. Our treasurer, as 1 took occasion
In previous public statements to make clear, will assure any inquiring person as to the truth of my state
ment. Answering those who have so violently attacked me for the publication of statements to the effect
that Abraham Lincoln opposed prohibition, I desire to say that I now hold in my possession a full and
complete affidavit, signed and acknowledged before reliable notaries, to the effect that it was on Mr.
Lincoln's own motion, and with the assistance of- his "yea" vote that a proposed prohibition law was
voted down In the Illinois House of Representatives on December 19. 1840. On pages 136 and 187 of the
Illinois House Journal for 1839-1840, now on file in the records of the Secretary of 8tat of Illinois, ap
pear the proceedings cited, in which -Mr. Lincoln made the motion to table a proposed prohibition law.
Mr. Lincoln also caat Mb vote In favor of tabling- this proposed law. It was during this debate that
many quotations attributed to' Mr. Lincoln were framed. It is the only instance, so far as I am able to
learn, that Mr. Lincoln ever recorded his vote, one way or the other, on this subject, and in this case
it was against prohibition. The good faith of 'this league In asserting Mr. Lincoln's position against
prohibition cannot seriously be questioned, therefore, by any fair-minded person. Unless Mr. Lincoln's
vote can be successfully denied by authentic affidavits taken from the Illinois records, it is Impossible
for me to see how the prohibition advocates can claim that he was in favor of their theories.
I wish to publicly deny that I ever repudiated Mr. Lincoln's position on this subject. I was called
out of bed after midnight one night to answer such a question. I replied that at the moment I could
not give the authority for the statement that Mr. Lincoln was opposed to prohibition, and. on this reply,
wasrbased the untruth that I had repudiated such statement. The affidavit now in my possession satis
fies me of the truth of the statement. I will be glad to show this affidavit to anyone who wishes to
call on me. '
I personally am responsible for the belief and statement that "Oregon dry" will throw 10,000 men
and women out of work.
That "business is bad in dry towns" is best answered by accompanying well - authenticated articles
on this subject, excerpts from which are quoted on this page.
This league knows nothing of "deliberate registration of floaters in the North End."
That 600 stores and residences will be vacated, as a direct result of prohibition In Oregon, Is so
apparent that neither the Committee of One Hundred nor any honest - minded person can disprove it.
The end of the campaign Is drawing near. Next Tuesday the people of Oregon will cast their vote as
to whether this state Is to make' the vital mistake that fifteen other states have made of adopting so
called prohibition and then, after years .of experimenting, become compelled to repeal It a failure, an
exploded theory that will not. cannot work, and never has worked in actual practice.
I sincerely hope that the big. broad-minded, thinking people of Oregon will have far-sightedness
enough to avoid the calamity that would befall this state If prohibition were adopted in the false hope
that humanity would be benefited. It would not. The;only possible effect would be to bring more suf
fering to our people, increase taxes, depress natural: trade and industry, cut off present much-needed
Income, throw thousands out of employment, produce general hard times. Increase drunkenness through
the illegal sale of intoxicants, and in no wise advance the cause of TRUE TEMPERANCE, for which
I have always worked and always shall. Yours for liberty.

President Taxpayers' and Wage-Earners' League.
?-
Resolutions Signed by Members
WHEREAS, the undersigned men and women, permanent taxpayers and home and ' business
builders of the State of Oregon, view with deep concern the constantly increasing tendency of irre
sponsible and tax-eating theorists to undermine and destroy the property and permanence of estab
lished government in state and nation; therefore,
RESOLVED, that we call upon every present and prospective laborer, taxpayer, home builder,
business man and woman and every advocate of personal freedom and individual property rights to
unite with us in the formation of a strictly non-partisan alliance of voters, whose object shall be to
reduce taxation, oppose the confiscation of real and personal property and create and maintain such
legislation as shall effectually and permanently protect us and our possessions from the vandalism of
irresponsible theorists and imported agitators; therefore,
WE, the undersigned, being opposed to state-wide prohibition as a specific act of confiscation,
hereby enroll our names as members of the Taxpayers' and Wage Earners' League, agreeing to in
every reasonable way advance the principles of said organization, it being understood that no dues
nor financial obligations shall be attached to such membership except insofar as they may voluntar
ily be given.
