AND BETTER FAIR ■■ — .........— . ----------------------- MRS. ABIGAIL SCOTT DllNIWAV ISSUES AN OPEN LETTER 10 THE PUBLIC It, has been brought to my attention that the Anti-Saloon League, fol lowing the same tactics it has followed in every campaign heretofore, is trying to besmirch this organization and to carry on a vicious campaign of untruths. No name seems to be too good to be dragged into the mud by them. I have reliable information that a statem ent has been made to the Anti-Saloon League and to the Committee of One Hundred by Mrs. Cora C. T albott, form er secretary of the Taxpayers’ and W age-E arners’ League, th at ahe was brought into this work by me under the im pression that it was a W om en's Suffrage movement, and her duties would be those of a physician while I made speeches throughout the state. I also understand th at Mrs. T albott makes the statem ent that funds have been collected with out authority, and in some way the Brewers’ Association has been collect ing these funds. These two statem ents are absolutely untrue. The collec tion of funds was authorized by me as president, and the secretary was ordered to have a letter sent out in connection with this work. I under stand that Mrs. Talbott, in this purported letter, in the hands of the Anti- Saloon League and the Com m ittee of One Hundred, states that she ob jected to the raising of funds under her signature as secretary. H ow did the good lady think the work of this league was to be carried on? W hy did th e think Mr. Bortzm eyer, cashier of the Scandinavian-American Bank, was appointed treasurer of this league? Did she think we would ask the brew ers to put up the money surreptitiously? If so, she reckoned w ithout her host. I have always fought in the open, and now, in my 80th year, and probably in my last campaign, I do not intend to change the principles I have always fought for, nor depart from my honesty of purpose in advo cacy of equal rights for all the people—by no means excluding women, for whose interests I have spent my life to obtain the ballot. My chief con cern in their behalf has always been to secure for them their economic in dependence, as m arried m others within the home, which alone will enable any woman to quit the business of marrying inebriates or raising drunkards. The moneys collected a rt in the hands of Treasurer Bortzm eyer, and all those who have donated have received a letter acknowledging receipt theropf. Any one so desiring may inquire from our treasurer as to w hether the money has been put in his hands, and I am quite sure he will advise them of receipt of their donation. If there is any one who has paid their money into this organization under misapprehension as donation for carry ing on this work, this league will be only too glad to refund it. It is indeed strange that Mrs. Talbott thought this was a Suffrage m ove m ent when she went to the Portland Hotel, engaged the dining-room for our first luncheon for organization and arranged for the payment of this luncheon, and went so far as to get speakers to express their views against Prohibition. The real break between Mrs. T albott and myself was caused when I found out that she had gone to the Brewers’ Association and told them she could be of good service to them in connection with this league, and asked and received a salary from the Brewers’ Association on the ground that she was putting in her time and needed the money. Oil the 26th of August a m eeting was held between Mrs. T albott and myself for the purpose of get ting m atters straightened out before starting the general organization. At this m eeting a statem ent was signed by myself as president and Mrs. T al bott as secretary that the two letters sent out by myself, as well as the let ter sent out by the publicity departm ent, were approved. This statem ent ended with the sentence: "A lter discussing generally the affairs of the league, the officer^ ratified all work that had been done up to date by the publicity bureau and officer^ of the association.” I have lived in this state for 60 years, during all of which time I have toiled and worked for the people of my state, and I am willing to leave it to the public to decide as to w hether I would lend myself in any way to any v organization or any act that could be construed as anything but honorable. Every one in this state knows Mrs. Duniway and her family. I wish further to say that, if the occasion arises and I deem it necessary to go further into this m atter, I will be glad to publish some additional facts in these same papers not necessary to publish now, and will meet the conditions as they arise. If the Anti-Sa3oon League, by its paid foreign agitators or Commit tee of One H undfed, think they can becloud this issue by trying to drag into the mud my name or others, they are very much mistaken. I expect to carry tlfis work on to the conclusion of this campaign, and then allow ttr* people to judge as to whether we will control our own affairs in the Sta$$ of Oregon or allov* the paid agitators of the East to show us what to dot ....
