Statement Of F. Scott Mcbride, Superin~
tendent Of ti>Saloon League of Illinois,
in Reply to Speaker Mckinley

In regard to the statement of Speaker Mckinley
published in full in the liquor organ the Champion of
Fair Play, attempting excuse for breaking his
pledge to vote for county option, residence district
option, and to give fair hearing to all anti-saloon
measures, and also to his charges of forgery etc. we
reply as follows:
First. He has lodged the real issue. The ques-
ton before the people of Illinois is why did Mr. Nc
Kney prevent roll call of the senate
amendment to the residence district bill? The bill had
passed both houses. 1t murdered the hands of
Speaker Mckinley in refusing this roll call He had
signed statement that he would recognize the chair
man OF the temperance committee at any time not in
conflict with the rules of the house He does not deny
in his defense that he signed this statement
He charges that the words residence district"
not part of the pledge but written in after
he signed it. He knows that this charge is without
foundation The three bills that made up the pro-
gram OF the AntSaloon League at that time were the
county option BILL residence district bill and the blind
tiger bill Mr. Mckinley pledged himself to for
the two, county option and residence district The
part of the pledge written in ink is all written in the
same handwriting, and anyone can see it to be the
same. The pledge signed by Speaker Mckinley
and Immediately given into my possession and has
been kept by until this time The one writing the
pledge has not had it in his possession since and could
There three witnesses to the signing of that
pledge, and they willing to make affidavit that the
Photographic copy is of the pledge signed by Mr. Nc
Knley and that word has been written in or erased
from that pledge since it signed by Mr.. Mckinley
copy of this pledge sent to him by special de-
livery soon after reminder Notwithstanding his
statement to the contrary
Apart from this he does not deny that he promised
to give recognition to the chairman of the temper
ance committee at any time in conflict with the
house rules, and in charging that because in the
paper he signed the words residence district" were
written partly on the margin that they were written
in after he signed it, he attempting avoid the real
issue. This comes cumulative evidence that his
word either written spoken is worthless
Second. He puts the blame on the senate The
facts, as Mr.. Mckinley we'll knows that not mo-
ment lost in pushing the residence district bill in
the senate From the day it passed in the house
to Its passage in the senate there just eight legs
of he Do of 4bo+%

usng to recognize Mr.. Wilson to advance it to sec
ond and third readings. Within those few days it was
necessary to get by the Etteson liquor controlled IL
cense committee by passing the residence district bill
to second reading without reference 1t took time to
get all the members there and to get recognition for
the motion. 1t had to be advanced to third reading
which took another day. motion get it special
order later day and then pass third reading
1t being necessary to get these four hearings in the
senate with all the members present at each hearing
anyone can see that with such experienced liquor
warriors Daley of Peoria, and Ettelson of Cook
who watching every chance presenting itself in
parliamentary tactics to delay the bill that no time
was lost in the senate The nsnuaton that Mr. Nc
Klnley makes that the bill had been purposey held I'D
in the senate proves again the utter unreiab1ity of
Mr.. Mckinley and the worthessness of his word
Third. AS to the last days proceedings the at
tempt to sidestep the main issue by charging that Mr.
Wilson tried to get vote the residence district bill
when the liquor members were off guard is silly and
senseess. It took seventy-seven votes to pass the bill
whether there any liquor men there or not
There couldn't have been found single moment dur
ing the day when the liquor watch dogs in the house
were not on duty. Then, is hardly likely that Mr.
Wilson would expect who had served the vets
SO faithfully by breaking his pledge and refusing to
vote for either the county option or residence district
bills and who had worked hard for the vicious Der
Petua license Dill to give favor to the drys by help
ing them to get their through quietly No.
Mr. Mckinley, you will have to try again before you
can present for numbering the residence dis
tric bill that the people of the state the majority of
whom wanted this measure will accept
Isn't it a fact Mr.. Mckinley, that you told me in
the morning that you would give us roll call on this
amendment, and did you not repeat this promise to me
about II o'clock and did you again in the evening
when talked with you in the hallway back of the
speakers chair say to me that if would leave it to
you, you would see that got a roll call soon? Did
not remind you of the terms of the pledge at this
time and were you not told that part of the same
was to recognize the chairman of the temperance COM
mittee at any time not in conflict with the rules of the
house?
The question the people of the state would like to
have answered IS what powerful Influence moved Won
to change from your promises and pledges?

utilities bill, that was not matter to which we gave

TROUT LAKE.

The thirteenth anniversary of the
"Camas Prairie and vicinity pioneer
association" has come to close amid
a feeling of general goodfellowship.
The association has l46 members that
have been in this section 20 years OF
over.
The object of the associations to
promote, and foster, feeling of fel-
lowship among its members and that
this aim is accomplished at least to a
degree, is evidenced by the fact that at
these annual reunions members drop
their daily duties and come, often many
miles, to attend them.
Officers elected for the ensuing year
are: e. W. Moore. president; Claus
STACK, vice president; Mrs. F. j.
Shaw, secretary; H. BeItschi, treas,
urer.
. Those of US who are under the i'm
preston that the interest in athletic
sports declines as we grow older might
have been agreeably surprised had they
noted the restlessness and fidgeting OF
the old grey haired veterans as the
hour approached for the game of ball
between Glenwood and Trout Lake.
Speech making was cut short and the
wise chairman promptly adjourned the
meeting. This community wishes tC
90 on record that the only game of bal
worth while is not where the pitcher is
the whole thing, but where the ball re.
ceives a good laruping and where the
boys do sometimes make two and three
base hits. The score at the ninth in
ming stood l3 to II in favor of Trout
Lake. The score keepers, getting ex.
cited, allowed another round. which
gave the visiting team three runs
The day closed with dance at Thode':
hall.

will be held in Glenwood June IL, 1914
