If elected, enforce the prohibition law, asserting that extravagance In the present dis trict attorney's administration Is the real Issue, and innlstlflg that wltn both candidates pledged to enforcement, there is' no wet or dry issue in the .district attorney flrht. John McCue has lusued the following nubile state ment : "Iiy published statements, anony mous communications and editorials, by direct spoken word, by innuendo and various other ways', the friends of Walter Evan are attacking my candi dacy in an effort to show .that I am not a proper person for the office. It in their method of trying to detract the attention of the taxpayers from the extravagant and incompetent adminis tration of Mr. Evans, and to prejudice them against me. That is why they injected the prohibition phase into the contest. They are seeking to show, because I defended George Schultz, who was tried for violating the prohi bition law, and who ncidentaltv was acgo4ttd, that I am lined up wltfc the so-called 'wets in this campaign, and a district attorney, t might not be active In enforcing the dry law. Noth ing could be farther from the inrth. . "The means that Mr. Evans" friends are resorting to in order to misguide the voters and poison their minds apalnst me indicates how fearful they are of my strength among the voters and taxpayers of Multnomah county. It Indicates that they realize the weak ness and inefficiency of Evans" admin istration. They are shy of legitimate campaign material for their own can didate, but are well stocked with hand grenades filled with poison and mis representation against me. "Is It fair for Evans to make prohi bition an issue In this campaign? Every broad minded person knows it is not. Prohibition was settled at tht last general election, anfi we are now oper ating under the dry law. Any violation of the dry law should be prosecuted as vigorously ag any other violation. 1 most emphatically say that if I am elected district attorney I will see that the prohlbttjon law is enforced. I will put forth my best efforts to bring about a conviction of every violation of the prohibition law."
