T-iiiM-runce Ieople Will Not liiiiMise
Cost of an Election on tlx' Tax
payers Stock Argument of Liquor
Men Is Thus Swept Away Local
Option People Will Allow Ijiw to
Take Its Course and Take n Vote
at the Next General Election.
Because the prohibitionists of Or
egon do not wish to Inflict an un
necessary expense on the stute, there
will be no local option election called
in any precinct in Oregon, until the
regular June election, to be held In
1906.
This was the decision arrived ut In
a conference of the local option lead
ers In Portland, Tur-silay.
It has been charged by the Liquor
Dealers' association that the local
option people would call special elec
tions all over the stale, thus 'Increas
ing the burden on I he taxpayer, and
causing a general ileinoiallxution of
business. This unfounded charge is
absolutely refuted In the announce
ment of the local optloulsts, after the
defeat of the Jayne bill and at the
close of the legislative session, that
no election will be held until the reg
uler election in June, 1908.
One of the stock arguments of the
supporters of the Jayne bill, was that
if the 10 per cent of voters required
on local option election petitions waa
not raised to 30 or 40 per cent, the
temperance people would continue to
call precinct elections, in different
counties, thus piling up . election ex
penses to gratify their desire to put
public sentiment to the test.
Between this and next June the
temperance people will make a quiet
campaign throughout the state, col
lecting statistics and noting the effect
of local option In precincts, where the
law Is now being enforced, but no at
tempt to Increase takes will be made
In any part of the state.
This action of the leaders of (he
local option forces In Portland Is
heartily Indorsed by the advocates of
the law In Pendleton. They are con
tent to allow the matter to rest until
the regular election in hopes that by
that time, public senlment will have
so thoroughly crystalised, as to make
It possible to carry many more pre
cincts than If an election were held
at this time.
