Republican Candidate for
United States Senator
Are you better oil now than you were under a Republican
administration?
Are you satisfied?
If you believe in the principles of the Republican ?arty, if
you are convinced that these principles are best for the
country, then prove it by voting for your standard bearer,
Robert A. Booth, Republican candidate for the United
States Senate.
You know that under Republican presidents the people
of the United States have good times.
You know that under Democratic presidents you have
Democratic times.
Remember the prosperity under McKinley, Roosevelt and
Taft.
Remember the conditions under Cleveland and Wilson.
The issue in this campaign is not one of personality.
It is not one of non-partisanship. It is a question of
whether you perfer prosperity under Republican adminis
tration. .
Do you have enough work? Are yci good?
Is your business what you want it to be?
If you are satisfied with present canditions, well and
pood; if you believe that the present situition is better
than under McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft, you know what
to do.
The way to bring prosperity is to help elect a Republi
can Senate.

BUSINESS LOSSES

BANK DEPOSITS OFF $300,000
Fourteen Business Houses Quit in Les?.
Than Year. School Attendance Less
Many Oregon papers have
leen loaded down wit Inn
the past three weeks with
repeated assurances that
"Business is Fine in Dry
Towns."
The three most important
Oregon cities to become
"dry" nine months ago were
Salem, Oregon (. ltv and
Springfield.
If business is fine in those pities
the taxpayers ami most of the
business men would like to have
the "drys" explain just what
they mean by "fine." If they
had said "business is thin," then
they might have been more easily
understood.
Let them answer first about
conditions in Salem. Ex-Council
man John D. Turner, of Salem,
an attorney, is sponsor for the
following facts about that city:
Salem went "dry" December last.
closing 15 saloons, three restaurants
and two wholesale houses and withdrew
liquor permits from eight drug Btores
and cut off an annual license revenue
of $15,400. Ninety men and a monthly
payroll of $5,700 were put out of com
mission. Most of the men have left
the city. All buildings vner.ted by
these concerns are still empty, except
six, which have been occupied by ten
ants who have vacated other buildings,
several of the best buildings being
boarded over and used as billboards.
More than fivo hundred modern dwell
ings are "for rent." Store property
rentals on State street have dropped
from $185 to $110 a month, but "busi
ness is fine."
Fourteen other business places have
closed since December 1 la , aside
from the snloons and restaurants. In
sluded are three shoe stores tvw by
iheriff and one voluntarily; one of the
largest drygoods stores has been sued
for the first time in twenty vears
Scores of clerks have left the city.
anting the loss of more payrolls to
the city, but "business is fine."
A leading prohibitionist prom:sed to
build 16 new dwellings if the city went
"dry." Nine houses were begun, two
have the windows nnd doors in, but
have never been finished; no work 1ms
been done on the others, besides their
bare frames.
Building permits from January to
August, the Inst nine wet months of
1013, were a.W.'ti'.'i; from November,

even fter allowing for the $iv,,oo'i

in Boston. The decrease, then fore,
really should be $7!i4,!H:!, but "busi

The attendance at the "Cherry
Fair" this year was about one half
what it was the last "wet" year. The
Ministerial Association In-fore the el.-c
tien which msde Falctn "dry," told
th Cherry Fair promoters that they
would make up for the donations nu

Oregon City and Clack
amas County, of which Ore

present as lamentable a
condition in a business
sense as a defunct corpora
tion about to go into the
hands of a receiver. In
fact, a receivership for Ore
gon City already has been
seriously discu.ssed by cer
tain of its creditors, and
Judge Campbell of that city
has doiclared bis willingness
to declare such a receiver
ship, if formal application
were made to him, as he
woufxl for "any bankrupt
corporation."
A special election has
been called by the city for
November 9 "to relieve the
financial condition of the
city," the purpose being to
vote $2ii0,000 5 per cent
bonds and to increase the
tax levy eight milks in or
der to take care of the .new
indebtedness.
On the part erf Clackamas
County the County Treasurer is
confronted with an enijWy treas
ury for the first time in six years.
The Morning Enterprise, a radi
cal prohibitionist daily of Ore
gon Cily, in explaining thin sit
uation, says "the condition is con
sidered the result of the anxiimt

SPRINGFIELD IS
MERE GHOST OF
OLD BUSY CITY
Prohibition Makes Formerly
Thriving Center Barren
BANK DEPOSITS $57,000 LESS
Two Blocks of Vacant Buildings Line
Main Street in Place of Busy Stores
The city of Springfield,
in its present cobwebby,
stagnant condition, today
presents a picture, as com
pared with 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. Today Springfield looks like a
deserted village, business is par
alyzed, and more than eight or
ten people on its main street at
any one time would actually bo
the eause of exuitement. Yet
the Committee of One Hundred
says: "Business is fine in dry
towns."
Springfield went "dry" at the
election last fall, the saloons
closing January 1.
Let the "drys" tell all about
these "fine" business conditions
in Springfield after nine months'
operation of their "business the
ories." AlthouKh a much smnller city than
Salem, the bnnk deposits in SpriiiR
field have fallen off In the last year
over -i7,0H0.
When Main street finally is read
justed in thn nint month or two, prnc
ivully two blocks of storo building mi
null side of the street west of the
Southern Pacific trucks will be desert
ed, but "business is fine."
A reul estate sale is unheard of and
would be impossible on any part of
Main street, but "business is fine."
The Springfield Toggery, the best
gen! 's furnishing store, is now bcinp,
closed out by a receiver, but "businesi
in fine."
The t.a France Confectionery Store,
tine of fhe best in "wet" days, ha
dived out, but "business is fine."
(). W. .loluieon's Hardware Store, the
best of its Jin" during "wet" days,
already has br.n sold out by a re
ceiver, but "business Is fine."
A. ,f. HendtTSfin, the leadinR dry
jonuls merchant, ncrpied a double
dorr a year ago. Today ha occupie
Isut one store and wtH e!J you hi
lsinss is "alKuit half" what il waa
n yew- ago, but "business Is fine."
The city has run into "'.'-,ln deficit
from an exrese of etpeittliture over
income, although the "drys" proraied
that less police and court eipenae
touhl ninkti a surplus, if the peuple
would ote Oir I 'J.oort anlonn license
