BY ORTON E. GOODWIN,

Hundred.
The great campaign to
make Oregon “ w et” has
failed.
The exposure by D r. Cora
Talbott, secretary o f the
“ Taxpayers’ and W a g e
Earners’ L eague,” that the
organization consisted o f two
persons, M rs. Duniway and
. D r. Talbott, and was fi
nanced by the brewers and
distillers to make Oregon
“ wet,” threw the fat into
the fire.
The brewers and distillers
know that all kinds o f busi
ness save theirs is better in a
dry town.
T hey know this has been proved
by figures and Taels from Salem,
Oregon City, Roseburg, Albany,

The city of Springfield,
in its present cobwebby,
stagnant condition, today
presents a picture, as com
pared w i t h its thriving,
bustling condition of a year
ago, that would make the
angels weep.
A year ago
every store was filled and
crowds of people thronged
its streets. Every merchant
was making money, practi
cally everyone who wanted
work was employed. Every
one seemed happy and con
tented, except the prohibi
tionists.
T o d a y Sp rin gfield looks like a
deserted village, business is p ar
