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. " '
