'TJ,
A thousand Salem people gathered at
the armory last night to ibow their
Interest in the prohibition movement
generally and especially in the vigorous
effort bow being made to males the
great state of Oregon dry. That was
the principal reason for the gathering
and the other was to hear the noted
temperance apeaker, ex-Governor Pat
terson of Tennessee, tell of how he,
once an opponent of prohibition, cams
to change his opinion and to become a
(trong avocate of prohibition.
Long before the hour for the speak
ing the crowd begs to assemble and
?nr more than half an hour snt pati-
This ended, however, with a snap
whea President Iloman called the as
semblage to order and in a few sen
tences stated the object of the meeting,
asked the andienre to rise and poin in
singing "All Hail tho Power of Jesus'
name," which was done with spirit and
fervor, and then after a prayer by Rev.
J. H. Irvine, P. A. Bakor, head of the
National Anti-Halonn League of Amer
ica, was introduced. He apoko for a
few moments on tho nature of the work
of the league and then for half an hour
the time was devoted to securing sub
scriptions to the fund for carrying on
the prohibition work. Tho plan was
to have as many as could do so sub
scribe a stated sum monthly for tho
period of five years, at the end of
which time, Mr. Bakor stated the nation
would be dry, if that result was not
reached sooner. Envelopes wero dis
tributed containing subscription blanks,
and as these wero again taken up a
cash subscription was collected from
those feeling like contributing to the
cause, but who did not reel aDio to
promise monthly payments.
Aftre this the feature of the evening,
the address of ez-Uovernor Patterson
was in order.

Ue told of taking his first drink
while at eollege, aad thea gave a brief
resame of hi life. Biz year a- pro
secuting attorney, eight yeara a son
gressman and then two terms as gover
nor of Tennessee. It was while gov
ernor thst he took aa active part
against prohibition, and as he had
promised when elected, when the legis
lature passed a bill making th atate
dry he vetoed it: It was passed over
his veto. In his veto message he put
forth every argument he thought pos
sible against prohibition, but favored
local option. He was laboring under
the mistaken idea that "it interfered
with personal liberty." Then he illus
trated that our personal liberties were
interfered with daily, and that govern
ments could not exist without this fea
ture. A eitixen is made to drop his
work to do jury duty, to be a witness,
and his liberties are interfered with in
hundreds of ways and necessarily so.
"Why," he said, "on a Pullman you
cannot even spit."
His speech was full bf bright as well
as forceful things, and bis sentences
short and epigrammatic. He said, "I
am told that I am no longer a democrat
simply because I do not drink but I am
a better democrat than I ever wat. -1
am not intolerant; why, I attended a
Catholic parochial school, Inter a Bap
tist college and am a member of the
Presbvterian church."

He had no quarrel with the saloon
keeper. "Many of them are kindly
and generous-hearted men. The gov
ernment is to blame, not they."
At the eloae of his splendid address
many crowded to the platform to shake
his hand and wish him Godspeed.
