To tho Pooplo of Oregen: I have waited with tho hope that some ot the numerous gentlemen who are candidates for governor In the republican primaries and otho-- wise, In announcing their candidacy, would make some declaration as to how they stood upon the national problem ot the sale and manufacture of Intoxicating liquor In the United Statcn. 1 have also hoped that there would have beeil some expression as to how theto- gentlemen stood, or would stand on the question of an amendment to tho constitution of tho btnte ot Oregon abolishing tho sala and manufacture of all Intoxicating liquor within this state. None ot these gentlemen have seen fit to make any declaration or commit themselves In any way upon this great Issue, which I think and boltevi to be tho most Important for the wel fare of tho people generally and to the maintenance of our Christian clvlllxntlon that now exists. Reluctantly, after duo considera tion. I have concluded to becouio n candidate for governor upon this la suo as tho principal lono ot my can didacy. 1 take this position, that the Intelligent opinion of all fair minded nlcn and women is unques tionably that tho liquor traffic, as now In use and rorce. Is a menaco o civilization, and Is tho result largel, of crime, poverty, degeneracy and moral decay, to such an extent as to become a startling danger to the human race. 1 navo no personal fight against tho man who Is run ning a saloon. I really feel more like condemning and censuring society for permitting this great evil and power to exist and to obtain the flrji hold that It has in this state nnd in this country. It I had my own way. I should feel as It society Itself, ought to bo punished to tho extent ot compensating men who have en gaged In this business, sanctioned by tho law. In a reasonable way to re cover their Investment that they have made. On tho samo theory that Abra ham Lincoln favored buying the slaves and colonizing them, in order to settle tho slave problem. Of course, I think and know that the people of this state would not favor compensating men who have invest ed their money In the saloon business neither am I advocating it as a part of my platform nor program In this fight, I am simply suggesting It to the conscience and fair minds of the people of this state, for them to give such consideration as they see fit, recognizing as I do, that whenever society feels that It Is In danger, It has a right to abolish and to destroy anything that endangers Itself. My object and purpose Is to try to arouse tho public opinion and the conscience of tho pcoplo ot this state, where they will be willing to stand shoulder to shoulder, Irrespective or political party or affiliations and unite for the purpose of putting tho raloon business out of existence anl destroy Its Influence in our economic, social and pollltlcal life. I therefore am In favor of destroying the saloons with compensation It the people I buildings, nnd prohibiting thu open should upon a direct vote bo declare I Ing of tho building until the owner but I would veto any bill which the legislature might pass, compensating salolonB for their Investment unlets the peoplo by popular voto directed mo to do otherwise. I stand opeulv and above board, unconditionally, In favor ot tho adoption of a national and state amendment to the constN tutlous of tho United States and tho stato ot Oregon, to prohibit the sale and manufacture) of all intoxicating liquor within tho United Htatos and within tho statu of Oregon. I also favor national suffrngo to tho women of tho United States, I am opposed to any and all Asi atics, cuch as Hindus being permit ted to comu into this country aim Into this stato and competing In tho logging camps and other avenues of work and labor with tho laboring men now here. It Is unnecessary for mo to add, that I stand with all good citizens Jn this state In favor of upholding an J maintaining our bcnool system In n fair and liberal wuy, und In thu con struction of roads and highways to meet thu demand and requirements of our farming, producing, commer cial nnd business c.'u8oh of the peo ple of this statu, with this qualifica tion, that f feel that whatever plans are adopted lu thu construction of roads In this state uud whatever methods uto used lu Ihu spending of the pcoplo'H Money fu mleh con ulrilrtlon, that the interest ot thi farming claim of tho pcopln of this state, nhould bo er carefully safe guarded and their wisher) as Indicat ed through the xoclety of equity and tho Development league and the. Far mers' tlrauge, should be consulted and followed. t desire also to say that I stand Ir- revocaul) In faor of freo press and free speech, and Hint If t should be successful In being nomluated nu.l elected governor ot this ndnto, I will see, so far as my power will permit, that no man or woman, itch or poor, black or white, shall be deprived of the opportunity of fairly and decent ly expressing themselves nn where, lu public halls, or upon tho streets of cities In this state, as long as they conduct themselves In a lawful way. Tho liquor question has got to he fought out. Men will be compelled to take a stand, for It or against It. Tho saloon Is either right or It Is wrong. If It Is rlRht It should be maintained and perpetuated; It It U wrong. It should bo destro)ed. 1 feel that It is wrong; I feel that It Is foollih for the moral societies ot thu State ot Oregon, to tnk about fight ing vice, preach sermons against vice, pass resolutions apalnst vice and hold banquets and mako speeches and congratulate each other how they are going to fight vice, and per mit the saloon to exist In this state, because It is In the. saloon to a great extent, that the toed Is sown and eventually ripens Into crime. and vice of every character, leading In tho end to tho Jail and peniten tiary, to tho insane asylum and to degeneracy, say nothing about want and poverty to the thousands and millions of women and children In this land. I know what kind of a battle this will be. I fully realize the power of the liquor element and the Retail V quor association ot this state, who are always on guard and ready to battle for their position. I know how hard It is to make merchants, bank ers and business men take an active Interest In tho movement, because they frequently far that It will Injure the market, the store, and bank. nnJ In other words, all trade. The facts are that if every saloon was drlvon out ot business In Portland, Inside of six mouths or a year, the merchants and business men would be tho ones who would be congratulating each other upon the advance in every llni of business, and better pa.vmenta rf tho bills of their patrons. To Illustrate this, I herewith quote an extract from a letter written to mo November 17, 1913, by Hon. Silas Porter, who Is one of the Judges of tho supreme court of Kansas, and a man who has lived In Kansas during tho life of the amendment to Its con stitution and a man ot great ability and high character. Mr. Porter writes: Our town, Kansas City, Kan sas, has over 100,000 population. It Is a city of manufacturers. Six or eight years ago, when they started to enforce the law rigidly, there were homethlns llko 250 "Joints" running practically wide open. Many of tho bars were fixed up In a luxurious manner and enormous sums were paid over the bars every day. Many conservative business Men, banker) and members ot tho Commercial club wore at first opposed to a rlrjld en forcement of tho law becauso It would leave vacant hundreds of buildings and apparently would de moralize tho business Interests of tho city. However, the law was rigidly, enforced; not by a trial ot cases be fore Juries, but by Injunction suits against tho property owners nnd up on affidavits before a judge who granted the Injunction showing a vio lation. After tho court had adopted the plan of enforcing Kb orders by putting padlocks on the doors of tho should glvo a bond that It should never again be used for Illegal pur pose, and sending tho proprietors o' the Joints to tho Jail for largo sen tences, not on convictions for tho sole or liquor, understand, but for violating the order of the court, there could be no Jury trials and convl.; tlons were easily obtained. After theso things had boon done, tho owners of the buildings gradually found other tenants and In tho course of a few months or perhaps a year, tho same business men who had pro tested against tho rigid enforcement of tho law, amu to the assistant at. tornoy general and Upologlzed. NVj disinterested business men in the city would now bo willing to have tho city return to thu old plan. I ro inombor Instances woro grocerymon nnd other merchants said that since the enforcement of tho law, and this was said within a year thereafter, chlldion came to their stores, t'i five and tun dollar bills to piirchaso provisions who had, prior to tho en forcement of tho law, never seon Hut much money In their lives; that th-i children thai formerly camo bare footed had shoes for tho first time In their lives; that tho poorer clais of pooplo were able to pay nnd paid their hills to thu stores where for merly It wus difficult lo obtain jm merit. Of course, our city udjolps KntiiWB City. .MUmmiH, null Ihu first block over the Illio Is known as tho "wet block," and It Is said to roll tain something like n dozen or two saloons leady to greet tho Knnftnit man when ho comes over. Hut onlv those who wore so addicted to thoi use of liquors that It was utmost I in possible for them to do without I' would In the evening take tho troll bio to go to Missouri for liquor. Tho large majority of them, nnd the aver ago man, turned and went to h's homo without having spent his money for liquor Prior to the en forcement of the law, the Joints nt was procured from tho banks larrfo tuma of money on every pay day, be cause a very large percentage of tho pay checks were cashed over tho bar. and of course ou know, nnd I know that tho laborer would naturally, feel called upon to spend some part of It under these circumstances, and It frequently happened that his wife and children saw but a verv small part of the proceeds. All that vvss doue aw ay .with when tho Joints wero closed. Kansas City, Kansas, In creased In population the first three or four ioars after the laws weio enforced at a wonderful rate. There was marked Improvement lu the prosperity of the merchants and the business of the city Increased, and Instend ot a decline, there was u great Increase In huslno and In population. Must of the bulldluK that were formerly occupied by Joints are occupied by "legitimate busi ness. " . In closing I desire to say that 1 favor the $1500 exemption from tax ation, now before tho people of tllh state, lu addition thereto 1 wish to say that I feel that the people of the stato of Oregon and lu fact society generally, rarely appreciate the debt and obligation that they owe to the school teachers aud Instructors, from colleges down to our district schools for the efficiency und the work that they do and If I should be honored with this nomination and election, It would be a source of great pleasure to me, In every legltlmntr way, to aid and advance the different school In terests and Institutions of this state and tho material welfare of the In structors and teachers thereof. I also strongly favor giving aid and all assistance that Is possible towards helping the people ot eastern Oregon nnd other parts of tloi state needing Irrigation to get water upo.i their lands. I also favor giving the governor power to veto separate Items In no- proprlatlon hills passed by tho legl lature. and this I advocated for ears when a member of the state senate. It Is now being taken up ai a now matter by some ot thocandldates, a'- though 1 used It as an argument on tho floor of tho statu senate, for many years endeavoring to Induce tho legislature to pass a bill calling for a constitutional convention, so that the constitution could bo nmend ed giving tho governor this power as wol as many other changes which wore then vital to the Interests or the people of tho state. I am opposed to useless and ex pensive kld-glovcd commissions that arc sapping tho taxes and resource! out of the people of tho state. I am also radically opposed to the attitude ot tho national administra tion In Its wool schcdulo and wool tariff, which Is n direct slap to the groat sheep Industry of the state of Oregon, nnd the country nt largo. If nominated and elected governor, I will veto any bill which may pass tho legislature, compensating saloon keepers and browurles for money Jn vested In their biulnts, in ens pro hibition carries or Is adopted or oth erwise, or under any circumstances whatever I also favor tho abollshmont of tho fish nnd game commission as now constituted, but favor reasonable laws protecting game without so much rod tape. I will stand for the abolishment of all useless commissions, believing that the responsibility for the expen diture of the people's money should he fixed In sdeh u way that tho pub lic will know Just whero, when and whom to hold responsible for tho heavy taxes and expenditures. I therefore belloru that tho respons'- blllty should rest with tho governo-, secretary of state and state treasur or, so tho people will know who lo exercise tho recall on, lu caso It Is desired at any time. I favor separntlon of church and state In this state und nation. Sincerely yours, (IKOIKJi: ( IlltOWNKI.L.
