know that Mr. McMahan has
fought on the dry side of the anti-

the great fight. I refer to the fol

To the Editor:
The Anti-Saloon League en
dorsed for the supreme courl
Judge Rossman and Judge Rand
and stated that It opposed Judge
McMahan.
We find that the officials of the
league sent no inquiry to any
ministers in Salem concerning
fudge McMahan's qualifications
and that they made no Inquiry of
Tudge McMahan as to his present
or past attitude on the liquor
question.
Some of us have known Judge
McMahan for a third of a cenlary
and we are all conversant with
his life's history and hs activities
as citizen and judge. We,' there
fore, protest that he has 'been
placed In a false position before
the temperance people of this
state and we hereby affirm our
confidence in him, both as an
honest, efficient and fearless
judge, and as a citizen worthy of
the -confidence of all the people.
