Publicity Department, Committee Of One
Hundred.
The great campaign to
make Oregon "wet" has
failed.
The exposure by DR.. Cora
Talbot, secretary Of the
"Taxpayers' and Wage
Earners' League" that the
organization consisted of two
persons, liIb. Duniway and
DR.. Talbot, and was fl
nanced by the brewers and
distillers to make Oregon
"wet," threw the fat into
the fire.
The brewers and distillers
know that all kinds Of bust
ness save theirs is better in a
dry town.
They know this has been proved
by figures and facts from Salem,
Oregon City, Roseburg, Albany,
Newbcrg, Ashland, Corvallis, Pen
dleton and many other towns.
Organization Spreads Untruths.
So they organized the "Taxpay-
ers' and Wage Earners' League" to
spread miSinformatiCn about Ore
gon dry.
They know bank deposits in dry
towns have increased in number
and amount. They know bad debts
are almost unknown in all dry
towns. They know collections are
better. They know arrests from
drunkenucss arc almost unknown.
They l.a0w every cry towa In crc-
gon is prs,reyeUl.
so, they became desperate.
Taxpayers L.,suo Is "Jel.s."
Then they organized The joke
Taxpayers ard Wage EaTners'
League" DR.. Taliott was secre-
tary. She became disguised when
she learned money was being col
lected by the brewers and distil-
lerics by the use of her name, ard
she resigned
Then Mrs. Duniway advertised
lavishly, announcing that the meney
the league" was using was pro-
vided by the brewers.
The campaign of misinformalion
carried on by employees of the
league, who are also employees of
the breweries and distlleries, is
now known all over Oregon.
Brewers Spending Your Money.
Every man, woman and child
has 10 spend s20 a year with the
. saloons.
If you do not drink, some one
else has TO pay YOUR share.
So, 1t is YOUR money the Orc
gon brewers and Eastern dislil.
. leries have been using TO persuade
YOU Oregon wet will do YOU
good. Ii is believed they expect
to spend over 100000 Of YOUR
money.
They know Oregon dry will put
them out of business and help every
other kind Of business in tho state.
l Although the brewerics and dis
tilleries know Oregon dry is for
better business, prosperity and
more work, they are fighting Il.
Il No Saloons; Better Business.
!. We have had bad times with the
saloon, haven't WEI Why moi try
! no saloon? II can't mako things
worse and is certain TO make
4 things better.
The reason is:
Money spons or the saloon cam
I not be spent for groceries. Money
\ spent In the ssieons-rnueh Of it.
goes East Money spent for dry
goods and groceries stays In tho
towns and makes better business.
The members of the Committee Of
\ One Hundred arc oil Orosonians.
! Most Of them are business men.
I They ask you to vote Oregon dry,
because they know, as the brew
ers also know, that Oregon dry
means better business, lower taxes,
more work and return TO pros
Reriiy. ts-
y For the experience OF all Ore.
gQn dry towns has proved this Ia
b the case. -
