Editor Gtihrd: 1 have Just seen a
statement taken from the EiiKone pa
pers, and copied from the Medfoqd
Tribune, to the effect that I hud stat
ed recently while at Medford on offi
cial business that business conditions
had not Improved in Eugene since lo
cal option had gone into effect, is not
In any way true. What I did say
was, that business conditions had Im
proved in Eugene, and were Improv
ing all the time, but whether they
would have improved 'whether the
city had gone wet or dry Just the
same I waa unable to say, but I
thought they would have improved
just the same under either condition.
As to the statement that wholesale
liquor houses sent out free books of
instructions as to how to make fancy
drinks and many of the women every
afternoon gather together and have
'booze parties, and that I had seen
many women drunk in Eugene since,
prohibition went into effect is a lie.
nure and simple. I
I n' ver made any such statement l 1
the Tribune representative, or any j
one nt Medford or elewhere. ,
As to tho statement as to the
amount of liquor used in private j
homes, sold by "blind plus" or "boot-
luggers In Eugene since It went dry. .
or as lo tho number of revenue tax
Ktnmni there. Is of little moment and
Immaterial. Hut such statements as I
i lo the women and citizens of Eugene' eov;,nr
demand an explanation and no suiti
language was used at all
The facts are that a very hitler
campaign is being waged In Medford
for their city election held there. I
believe, today, and no doubt but that
such articles are written and enlarg
ed upon largely to Influence'the vot
