The good general, when defeated, retires in ordor and
gathers up his forces to charge again and regain his lost
ground. Docs the prohibitionist? No, like the bunko steer
er, he hies himself to pastures now, where the grass is taller
and his gante is not so well known.
And should anybody attempt to differ with 'him, bo
he preacher or layman, they immediately sot up a howl of
liar, thief, fraud and prohibition is the biggest fraud
cver'perpetratcd on the American voter.
Prohibitionists claim thirty-eight millions of people in
the United States arc new living in dry territory, yet the
consumption of liquor is on the increase'? Could it bo that
the fellows in this dry territory have some in their dollars?
NO. Liar again. Then the fellow in the wet territory
must work overtime or a double shift.
Eiftv voars ago Iho leaders of prohibition thought they
saw the dawn of the perfect day, when there wouldn't be
a dram shop nor a drunkard in all the land. They were
confident that the problem of intemperance which had per
plexed and baffled mankind for thousands or years was
as good as solved. The great dragon was about to bo rilain
and his dead carcass hurled into the bottomless pit. But
it turned out to be all a dream. The dragon was not slain;
he was not even seriously wounded. If he disappeared
at all, it was only to betake himself to the cellar to await
the passing storm, which soon died out, and now the suc
cessors of the men that rallied around the standard of Neal
Dow are working the same promises that were made of old.
They assure us that iho present movement means bus
iness, and that this wave will not subside until it has swept
over every foot of American soil, jind has done to the rum
traffic what .Jehovah did to the Egyptians in the lied sea.
. . . Or what Samson did to tho Philistines with a jaw
bone of an ass. They are still using the jawbone. v
HyMts record prohibition must be judged. On every
page of that record from Maine to North Carolina must bo
written, folly, failure.
N Neither a state-wide system, nor under local option,
has prohibition ever made the slightest headway towards
the solution of the liquor problem. The one solitary serv
ice that it has rendered to society is that of furnishing a
warning example of the supreme folly of attempting to
legislate virtue into men's lives.
The long list of states which have tried and repudiated
prohibition shows it to be destructive of moral welfare
and prosperity. Well might we say with the poot:
"better bear the ills we know than fly to those we know not of"

FOR
HARMON
COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 5. Chair
man Nicholls'o the democratic state
central committee today Issued the
ollowlng statement regarding the
prospects o his party at the polls
Tuesday:
"Wo claim the re-election of Gov
ernor Harmon by the largest major
ity inlven a democratic candidate for
a Btato office since the formation of
the republican party. Wo believe
that Governor Harmon's majority
will be so heavy that there will bo no
reasonable doubt of the election of
the entire democratic ticket.
"Wo are equally confident that
the legislature will be safely demo
cratic. Tho re-elecllon of tr pres
ent democratic congressmen is as
sured, with better than a fighting
chance in three other districts."

state' committee made no comment

Vote Yes For Deschutes County
350 X Yes
The huge counties of Central Oregon must be divided in order to facilitate the proper development of this
vast Empire the creation of Deschutes County is the first and logical step.
The laws of Oregon make it impossible to create a new county in any way other than by a vote of tho
state at large therefore the residents of the proposed Deschutes County ask your support.
