Dauber of friends. Mr. Wlllla baa
several business opportunities open to

The report haa beeu circulated and

and that It haa refused to pobliah

THE ANTI SALOON LEAGUE
, OPPOSES REDDY'S BILL
The Portland Muololpal Association
and the Oregon Aati-Saloon League
joined their ariamenta agalnit the
Reddy "home rule" amendment
which la to be aobmitted to the people
Id June, and filed only one document
In the office of the Secretary of State.
The opponenet of tke amendment as
anrt that it ia a saloon measure and
had ita origin among' those who are
Intent upon exploiting the vice of
city life.
The amendment proposed ia to sec
tion 3 of artlole 11, of the confuta
tion, governing adoption of city
charters. It eliminates from the seo
tlon the provision that city charters
tuuat be subject to the coostitntion
and criminal laws of the state, and
farther providee that cities shall have
sxolualve power to lloense, regulate,
ontorol and tax, suppress or prohibit
theaters, race tracks, poolrooms,
bowling alleys, billiard halls and tha
ale of liquors, aabjeot to the local
option law.
The argument filed by Mr. Reddy
in favor of this amendment la in
part aa follows:
The purpose of thia amendment ia
to obtain practical home rale for all
cltiea and towns in Orevon.
Laws which may be good for a
seaport may not be advisable or good
for an lnluud town.
It does not seem fair that people
who live in Eastern Oregon should
vote as to what regulations should be
applied to the local affairs of a city
in the Willamette Valley, aor, on
the other hand, should people ia the
WilUmette Valley govern the local
affaire of rltlea In Eastern Oregon.
It ia impossible to make any law
wnluh will be eqally suitable for all
towna, aud the proposed amendment
givea the taiayerR aud voter of
each town the right to govern tlieir j
own local affairs within the city
iHiiindai lea.
Opponents of the Reddy amendment
declare :
There can be uo doubt that the
petition for the enactment of the pro
Hael amendment bn I Ita origin
among more Who are intent upon
exploiting the vices of city life Tor
their own profit, and who rare little
or nothing for the integrity of tlie
State and the moral welfare of ita
citlr.ens.
Therefore, we object for live re
aoua:
I. It ia a fa'iaxi imvtsure intended
to entrench the saloon and nnlifv the
local option law.
S. It makes the cities principalities
independent of the criminal laws and
police powers of tlie Comity and
State.
S. It aasiunes fur tlie city tilde-

Jacksonville, Ore., March 17, 1908,
To the People of Josephine County :
A rumor bas gained currency,
doubtless through the agency of my
devoted "frienda" that I had deter
mined to withdraw from tbe race for
district attorney on aocsoot of my
health. Let nil say that I was com'
pelled to undergo ao operation and
during tbe paat several weeks I have
been indisposed while I should have
been interviewing the voters of the
district. But I am attending to busi
ness again, and I beg to take the
crimp out of the "rumor" so zeal
oualv circulated, bv stating that I am
a candidate for tbe Republican nomi
nation for district attorney. Audi
aak tbe suffrages v.f the Renublicana of
tha district baaed upon my record aa
an attorney at the bar in this distrist,
I have actively practised law at the
Jackson county bar for five yeara and
during that time I have had some 60
cases before this court aud I bellere
myself familiar with tbe practice of
the court and if elected will not hav
to be educated by the taxpayers along
this line. Pour years ago I made tbe
raoe fur diatrlct attorney and was
beaten 81 votes in the dlntnct and I
do not feel that tbe showing made
was a discredit to me. I desire again
to be Rdpublioan nominee for the
place. I am not throwing the respon
ibillty for this desire of mine to be
the nomloee on to (be shoulders of
my friends. I don't know whether I
bave any friends. The primary eleo
tlon maay determine this. I bave no
pledges to make except the one in
volved in the oath of office whioh tbe
district attorney must tak that I
will enforce tht lawa to the best of my
abllitey if elected.
Very truly yours.
GUS NEWBURY.
Mr. Editor: Will yon please give
me a small space in your paper that
I may express my views in regard to
my stand for Statement No. 1
There ia no peraon or candidate but
what will admit there it jost as good
material in the Republican party for
Senatorial candidates as any other
party, and as far as party organization
is concerned, it is high time the
people take it In hand to keep these
political boaaea and tricksters from
riding into office under false colors
that are obnoxioua to tbe people. Po
litical parties are all right so long aa
they work in bha)f of the people
aud for the eople but when these
political tricksters aud bofsos go be
yond that, it la high tune the people
sit down on them. Aa to being a Re
publican, I voted for Lincoln in 18tl0
aud have voted for every Republican
president since, and during this time I
saerved iu the Civil war with U. S.
Grant to save thia Union.
