be to Save Industrial I i n r 1 1 Bg OSWALD WEST Governor of Oregon OSWALD WEST I' IxIXtOX should go dry be cause theiv does not exist a single rotison on earth wliy it should stay wet. The war news from Europe strikes us with horror; yet this great war, with all its earnage, past, present and future, will not prove a drop in the bucket compared with the ravages which are being made through out the laud by booze. We boast we are the greatest nation upon earth, ami in our efforts to preserve this position we boast we must strive con stantly to raise, or at least main tain, the standard of our citizen ship, and to accomplish this end we must unceasingly fight or ganized greed and graft, stamp out poverty, vice and crime, protect the home anil make life more pleasant for those who have been less fortunate than others. It is idle, however, to talk of progress along those lines so long as King Alcohol occupies the throne. Who grabs the pay check from the honest work man on Saturday night and makes his wife and little ones go hungTy? Mr. Booze. Who sows the seeds of poverty and distress everywhere? Mr. Booze. Who loads upon us most of our tax burdens? Mr. Booze. The Wets protest against our voting the state dry because it will close Paul Wessinger's brewery and be equivalent to the confiscation of his prop erty, but they do not tell you how the brewery was built through the ruination of homes and the confiscation of pay checks. They do not tell you that every brick in the building represents a broken heart and the color of the building is em blematical of the blood which has dripped there from. Whenever I think of the devil I think of booze, and whenever 1 think of booze I think of the devil, for the devil is booze and booze is hell. Old Booze is an outlaw who has been long pur sued but never subdued. At no time and under no circumstances should he be given quarter, and it is the duty of every good citizen to stand, ready to sand-bag him whenever he sticks his bead in sight. All Oregon will have a chance to sand-bag him on November 3, and for tlie Lord's sake let us make a good job of it. IF YOU BELIEVE WITH GOVERNOR WEST, VOTE- OREGON DRY, 332 X YES Paid advertisement by the Committee of One Hundred. US Morgan Building. Portland, Oregon. o Oregon VOTE "NO" 329 AND "NO" 331 Tho very life of the future manufacturing and industrial progress of Oregon hinges upon the defeat of the so called "Water Front" bills, to be voted upon Tuesday, November 3rd. So cunningly and adroitly are these bills worded there Is grave danger that many people will be deceived. If these measures become laws the result will be that the State will talts titls to ths tide lands and submerged lands and will be prohibited from selling any of these lands. They can only be leased for docks. No more ship-yards, saw-mills, can neries cr other plants requiring access to deep water -nothing but docks, docks, docks. Every citizen of Oregon wage earner, farmer, business man or woman, wants to prosper. These measures if enacted will throttle progress at the gate. Investors will shun Ore gon. Tiiis means no work for the wage-earner, nothing to pay the store-keeepr with and therefore nothing to pass on to the farmer or producer. Let no one think these bills do not con cern him. Before you go into the booth to vote, read 329 and 331 carefully. Talk to your neighbors about them. (. regon is rich in natural resources, but poor in develop ment. What the state needs above everything else is outside money to come in and develop its resources. That means GOOD WAGES. PLENTY of WORK, GOOD PRICES and GOOD TIMES. This is not a political question; it concerns only the pros perity of Oregon and of you. Give Progress and Good Times a helping hand by voting "NO" 329 and "NO" 331.

C, in an address at the Albany High school dedication the other day said: "I have carefully studied the geography and history of the valleys of the Rhine and Rhone, the Seine and the Thames, as well as the densely populated dis tricts of this country, and have come to the conclusion from the ! evidence beff.re me that there are more colleges, universities, churches, organs and pianos in the Willamette Valley between Eugene and Portland than in any other district of like size in the world. In this narrow stretch of territory, 12,'J miles long by rail way and covering less than 3,000 sections of land, there are sixteen colleges and universities, and as many business colleges and acade mies. Every habitable foot of land is accessible to a good public school. Seventy-five of these public schools teach high school studies, and many of them already afford high school buildings. "In this little tract of territory is one-thirtieth of all our colleges and universities, in this country; and these institutions of learning train about one-eightieth of the college and university men in the government. These figures are all the more remarkable for the reason that there are no colleges in Southern Oregon, and but one small one in Eastern Oregon." A sense of fair play dictates that the other sections of Oregon should share in the educational uplift due to the maintenance of schools. We believe the people of the Willamette Valley will evi dence this broad-minded and fair spirit by voting to reopen the normal schools in Southern and Eastern Oregon. : Hair Switches made from combings.
