WEST WHACKED AMENDMENT HARD Declared Brewers Amendment Is Fathered By Paul Wes senger the Brewer. A SCHEME' FOR FILLING . STATION SALOONS Ex-Governor Declared That He Witt Fight Booze to Mia Last Ditch. That Paul Wessenger, the well known Portland ex-brewer, is at the head of the brewers' amendment to the constitution, to be voted on at the November election, was the state ment of ex-Governor Os. West, at the Rolfe last night, before a large audience, the theatre being filled, with some standing in the rear. Also that the amendment is merely a scheme to get saloons back into Oregon and nullify the effect of the present pro hibition law of the state, one that is proving a splendid thing for Oregon. H. Bryant, county president of the Anti-Saloon League, presided, with a number or prominent men on the t platform with him, including Senator Garland, of Lebanon, Judge Hewitt, Hon. W. R. Bilyeu, and the Hammer quartet, the latter ' of whom were heard in several live" temperance songs. Ex-Governor (West handled the; subject in his characteristic way, to the point and above board, showing it once the author of the brewers' amendment and the men who are really back of it, and declared that it is a fight of the women of Oregon for their homes against the gang. , ""We caVt have "goo'd governmehf " with booze,' that's all," he said. . ; He look the brewers' amendment up and showed how according to its wording it is intended cs have things open for traffic in beer, not only that, but to throw down the bars for the sale of l'quors bv druggists without . presc.-iptit ns. This law would result in filling stations, such as the stand ard Oil Co. has for the buying of gasoline,' where ANY PERSON or individual coluld be accommodated. The old home law was found to be a fake, and he declared this one as big a one. He told what the raid on Copper field, which at one time gave the gov- ernor great fame, in which the sa loons had been smashed out of the town, had done for the place. Now there is only a hitching post left, and it is better ott. His reference to the old Jefferson street depot, at Portland, owned by Paul Wessenger and leased to the R. R. was an interesting one, bring ing up an old affair that excited a good deal of attention at the time. It was done to illustrate the methods of the men who are trying to foist on the people the' brewers' amend ment. '' West said he was in 'the fight against the saloon to the last ditch, and a majority of the people of Ore gon are with him, determined to keep the saloon and all its allies out of the state. " ' AN HOUR WITH RILEY, ON AN ALBANY LAWN The Riley Story Hour on the li brary lawn yesterday was quite an event.
