"I am now unnuiinclng inynfelf for inodlflcalion to get rid of thu niounHhiner, bootlegger and the blind pig, which havo proved moro HeiioUH vll8 than the tmloun. I do not believe that prohibition can be udminiatered to uerve the endH intended. Prohibition an admlnlH tered In thitt Htate, and In the Unit ed StatcH as a whole, have proved to have been an Instrument which has led to the wholemilo debauch ery of the nation both old and young.

It haw taught uh that law cannot bo Hindu a HuhHiltiite for confidence. It Iiuh resulted In unwarranted and cul pable killings In its enforcement. - "I am convinced that It has not the approval of a majority of thu citizens of tho 48 slates. ' "I feel certain that If tho Vol Btead Act were modified to permit tho government to dispense puro liquor hi the nation that the boot legger, moonshiner and rum run ner will havo been dealt a blow from which they will not be able to recover, - . "I fool suro that tho thinking citlKenn realize tho evil uttendant bpon absolute and bone-dry prohi bition, and also that if puro liquor Is obtainable legally through the government, no man Is going to sneak down an alloy to obtain illegally vile and poisonous stuff, 'i "Ho, I havo come out openly fur modification. - "I am leaving tho verdict to tho dry citizens of the dry state of Oregon' George T.

Owing to the recent bad weather conditions when It snowed practi cally every day for two weeks or more, and halted the melting pro gress that had up to that time been going on rapidly, it Is . now doubtful whether all roads through tho park will be cleared of snow by June 1st, as had been tho out look up to several weeks ngo.

(Spe cial I Kenneth D. Hauser, general chairman of the Norblad for Gov ernor committee, and in charge of the governor's campaign, has le aned a signed statement, III part (in follows: "The rumor, circulated about Portland and the state under the guise of news, that immediately upon his election Governor A. W. "Norblad would replace the state highway engineer and at least two of tho state highway commlssion i. s and tnat paving interests would dictate their successors, Is unqual ifiedly denied. "As chairman of Governor Nor hlad's campaign committee and fully aware ol' all details of Ilia campaign, aa well as enjoying en tire confidence of the governor, i most emphatically state that - no such deal has been mado or contemplated. Since Governor Norblad'a lncum- RUSSELL'S CLOSED TUESDAY rices Cutting 0 REOPENING WEDNESDAY In a FINAL 6-DAY DRIVE That Will Be SENSATIONAL To the Full Extent of the Word WAIT FOR IT ! 1 hency, he has supported the pies- j ent highway engineer and commls-! sioners und has steadfastly refused . to Interfere in any manner wiinj tholr duties. In his public speeches throughout the camualgn he haa I repeatedly staled that the highway commission should be kept entirely j out of politics. "The unfair rumor, coming nni it does at this stage of the cam paign. Is probably one of n series intended to influenco tho voters against Governor Norblad. The Democrats, realizing tbal Governor Norblad will be the hard est candidate to beat in the No vember, general , election, would rather see George Joseph nominut ed hy the Republicans, as this would give them more assurance of electing a Democratic governor. "Governor Norblad'a confidence In the existing state highway com mission has been evidenced by the reappointment of C. K. Gates as highway commissioner. I believe 'no further assurance of Governor Norhlad's confidence In the com mission should be required."
