Mr.-Word also took up the matter In
rezard to food of DriBoners in the coun- ,
ty Jail and the general sanitary con

best possible.
If the food and conemiona were noi

have them fight fire without guards,

avenue open to escape.

Sheriff Tom Word, speaking at the
Sunnystde school, gaw the lie to the
Unfounded iharges which have been
burled "at him by interested enemies.
' .Cheers greeted his declarations, as
he answered one by one the accusations
Circulated against him.
"Ca-h time," he said, "I have run

made good strict law enforcement- So

already done. I am going to continue
to ' do as I have done as long as I
am sheriff of Multnomah county.
Closed Up Gambling.
. "Tou know of these gambling dens
and he)l holes which existed when I
Tlrst went into office in 1904. I have
closed up every one of them. I used
the Shjege arid I can do it again If
necessary. I am going to keep every
roadhouse closed in thin county, not
only for the protection of myself and
children"' but for the urotpc tlon of
your children and yourself. We hadf
even roadhouses. Seven Mile, Twelve

Others. 1 arrested "The Hut" eleven
different ' times, but ten times Billy
elwagfrart, the proprietor, was dis
missed. The last time I arrested him
I caught him with a 16-year-old girl.
. "I know that you voted me back into
Office two years ago to close these
places up. I arrested Mr. Russell Of
Krlta & Russell on 61! separate occa
tons, but each time the case was dis
missed; yet I stayed with it until I
broke him. He is now In California
and I have been told that he is coming
hack to fight me In this election; but
what power could ne exert in a com

Referring to an article published In

aid:
"I do not know whether you gather
from the farficle the same meaning as
I do, bat the sense of it seems to be
; that while Mr. Hurlburt will enforce
' the laws he will not Interfere with the
personal pleasures of the people. This
' might mean that the places which we
-.ave taken so much pains to keep

Ladies' Night an
Immense Success
Members of Loyal Order of Moos Arc
Much Flaased With Splendid Enter
talnment. The Ioyal Order of Moose at Its
ladies' night last evening did Itself
proud. Its two floors In the Royal
buildinpr were packed with members
of the loage and friends. The appre
hensions of Andy Weinberger, dictator;
R. 8. Beatty, secretary, and Dr. Banner
Brooks, chairman of the entertain
ment committee, were that there
would be too many, not that there
would be too few. Admission was lim- i
ited to members only and their ladies. I
To make things interesting George
L. Baker was on the program with
his entire aggregation of the Baker I
theatre, and had his stage carpenter.
property man and several assistants
at work all the afternoon in the up
per hall.
The following is the program for
the Baker aggregation: Maude Dial,
character artist, in "The Eccentric
Dressmaker"; Harriet Berlene, dramat
ic sketch. "Years After"; Carl Strousse,
the man; James Morell, the agent;
Clara Valentine, the woman; scene, a
railway station. Mrs. E. Hogan and
Miss King in coon dances and stories;
George L. himself; "Broomstick Bel
den," a comedy musical act; W. J.
Carkeelc, rube trick pianist. The au
dience thoroughly enjoyed the
"stunts."
Downstairs entertainment was fur
nished by C. G. Levering' s aggrega
tion, composed of H. Harwick, pianist
of the Empress theatre: Fred Bowers
C. Sutton. J. D. M. Crockwell, I. J
Carlson, J. H. Jones, J. H. Clark, J.

iary to the order here are predicted

C. J. Smith Will Becelve Many Tote
of Members of Opposing Party
Who rear Withycombe.
Rev. C. T. McPherson of Clatskanie.
who formerly occupied a Portland
charge, was In town for a few hours
yesterday on personal business. Indi
cations are, she said, that work on the
Columbia highway, somewhat demor
alized by the recall election in Colum
bia county, will gradually be read-
Justed so that the county s linK will
be closed and an unobstructed boule
vard to the sea established.
"Columbia county is right In line
for progress and the people are confi
dent of better things," said Mr. Mc
Pherson. The farmers are prosperous
and are planning for a big year in
1915."
"Columbia county, long a Repub
lican stronghold, is fairly teeming
with Chamberlain sentiment," contin
ued Mr. McPherson. "I notice it es
pecially since the disclosures have
been made regarding the Booth con
nections with the timber 'cases. Many
old-time Republicans have told me
they were going to vote for Chamber
lain, partly because they want to
voice indorsement of the Wilson ad
ministration and partly because, they
resent the candidacy of Booth."
C. J. Stmlth Popular.
Mr. McPherson, who has long been
a personal friend of Robert A. Booth,
had urged his associates to attempt
to dissuade him from the senatorial
campaign because of the timber land
trouble In the federal courts. They
told ' him, however, that the timber
scandal would not be brought up
against him; that the influence of the
friends of Booth would take care of
that.
Mr. McPherson said he finds much
sentiment for Dr. C. J. Smith and
other Democrats throughout his coun
ty. This, he was informed, is be-'
cause of the spread of the opinion
that the great need in the present
campaign is to sustain President Wil
son and the policies he has inaugu
rated, as well as the growing belief
that the election of Dr. Withycombe
to the governorship means a breaking
away from the Oregon system.
Flegel's Strength. Growing;.
He says his county will vote "dry."
In this city Mr. McPherson found a
constantly growing sentiment in favor
of A- F. Flegel, Democratic nominee
for congress.
The churches of Clatskanie will hold
a union service in the Presbyterian
church next Sunday evening to give a
final boost to the prohibition amend
ment. Mrs. Minnie I. Hyde, presi
dent of the county W. C T. U., will be
in charge.
To Protect Imperial Valley.
Los Angeles, Cal., Oct: 29. Secre
tary of the Interior Lane announced
that he will call a meeting at Wash,
ington af all interests concerned in
protecting the Imperial valley from

U
Big Blunder in Misleading "Prohibition Campaign" Is Made
J. E. WHEELER, CHAIRMAN OF
COMMITTEE OF ONE HUNDRED
ADMITS in Public Print
it :
That Prohibition is AN INFRINGEMENT OF PERSONAL LIBERTY.
That the word "DISTRIBUTION" was DELIBERATELY LEFT OUT
of the proposed "prohibition" amendment. '
That "ANY CITIZEN" may ship liquor "direct from some other state
to HIS OWN HOME."
Every Claim Made by the Anti-Prohibition Forces Against the Proposed Prohibition Amend-
ment in Oregon Is Confessed in the Three Above Admissions
The Anti-Frohibition Forces
Have Steadf astly Claimed:
that "Prohibition is an infringement of PERSONAL LIBERTY." Mr. Wheeler admits it word for word' in
public print. 5
that "Prohibition will not prohibit." Mr. Wheeler's admission proves his Committee of One Hundred s not
trying to prohibit. -
that "Prohibition does not mean dry Oregon." r
that "Prohibition would be a death blow to the present .healthy growth of TRUE TEMPERANCE SENTI
MENT in the land." Mr. Wheeler's admission provesit.
that "Prohibition would let down the bars to BLIND-PIGSERS and BOOTLEGGERS, who - would, deal in
deadly decoctions," the same law allowing any "blind-digger" with a HOME to ship liquor "direct from
some other state to HIS own home. The BL1ND-PIGGER is as much of a "CITIZEN" as any other man
or woman in Oregon. The blind-pigger, because he. is not under inspection by State, Federal or City of
ficials, will "manufacture" one barrel of PURE WINE, BEER or LIQUOR into a DOZEN BARRELS of
POISONOUS BEVERAGES that will make z new generation of imbeciles, idiots and criminals in Oregon.
Mr. Wheeler's Three Blundering Admissions Are the Best
Three Reasons Why His Misnamed, Misleading "Prohi
bition" Amendment Is an Alarming Menace to the State
IT IS AN ALARMING MENACE
BECAUSE he would have the people of this state
vote away their PERSONAL LIBERTY in the
belief that they were voting for a "dry Oregon."
BECAUSE he would take away the present splen
did HOME RULE and LOCAL OPTION LAWS
from the CITIES and TOWNS and transfer
liquor traffic control to the state.
BECAUSE, with all kinds of vile liquor being
shipped in "FROM OTHER STATES" into
"ANY CITIZEN'S HOME," not subject to Fed
eral, state or local inspection, it will "be ENTIRE
LY UNREGULATED, and will become as "free
as water."
BECAUSE it will permit any BOY OR MAN to
"ship" in whiskey in any amount, without even
having to SIGN HIS NAME with the TRANS
PORTATION COMPANIES, as under the present
HOME RULE and LOCAL OPTION laws.
BECAUSE it will in no way check the IRRESPON
SIBLE DRINKER, whom a "prohibition law" is
said to protect.
BECAUSE it would wipe out .$900,000 in LI
CENSE REVENUES in the state, without aiding
TRUE TEMPERANCE.
BECAUSE it would seriously INCREASE TAXES
in the state, without aiding TRUE TEMPER
ANCE. BECAUSE it would seriously cripple the HOP
. YARDS and HOP INDUSTRY of the state, in
jure a $3,000,000 ANNUAL PAYROLL OF 50,
000 HOP-PICKERS and sadly reduce $6,O0d,000
ANNUAL LNCOME to the state from HOP
SALES; without aiding TRUE TEMPERANCE,
and ';.
BECAUSE it would force liquor into THOUSANDS
of HOMES in this state, to be drunk WHOLE
SALE by UNRESTRAINED DRINKERS before
the very eyes of the CHILDREN WHOM TRUE
TEMPERANCE WOULD PROTECT, thus deal
ing a serious blow to TRUE TEMPERANCE in
the HOME, without in any way aiding TRUE
TEMPERANCE, and
BECAUSE it would build up an ARMY OF BOOT
LEGGERS in the HIGHWAYS and BYWAYS,
teaching HYPOCRISY, DECEIT AND LYING TO
MEN AND BOYS and WOMEN AND GIRLS,
too thus dealing another serious blow to TRUE
TEMPERANCE, without in any way aiding TRUE
TEMPERANCE.
Read What Mr. Wheeler, Chairman of the "Pro- ;
hibitipn" Committee of One Hundred, says in ji
his own words in the "official dry organ," The f
Evening Telegram of Portland, Sept. 29, 1914: 8.
"The 'wet' forces are seeking to make capital of the fact
that the proposed Oregon dry amendment-DOES NOT
FORBID THE 'DISTRIBUTION' OF LIQUOR, but
merely its 'MANUFACTURE and 'SALE.'
"THEY ARE CORRECT. This was done DESIGN
EDLY and DELIBERATELY BY THOSE WHO
DREW THIS AMENDMENT. Oregon has many citizens,
especially many of foreign birth, who desire. to have liquor
IN THEIR HOMES. They feel that it wouldfbe a
HARDSHIP and an INFRINGEMENT ': OF THEIR
PERSONAL LIBERTY absolutely to forbid them the use
of liquor. iU -
"The present proposed law DOES NOT FORBIDTHE
USE OF LIQUOR by any citizen, be he poor or ricli, pro
vided he wishes to have this SHIPPED DIRECT FROM.
SOME OTHER STATE TO HIS OWN HOME.";'
Can Any Intelligent Voter Fail to See the
. VOTE 333 X NO
-
And Put an End to this Prohibition Agitation.
