eeS'N'ss ANfS' -
The great campaign to
make Oregon "wet" has
failed.
The exposure by DR.. Cora
Talbot, secretary of the
Taxpayers and w Wage
Farmers League" that the
organization consisted of two
persons, Mrs. Duniway and
DIR. 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 aud facts from Salem,
Oregon City, Roseburg Albany,
Newberg, Ashland, Corvallis, PEN
dleton and many other towns.
Organization Spreads Untruths.
So they organized the "Taxpay-
crs' and Wage Farmers League" 10

They know bank deposits In dry
towns have increased IT, number
and amount. They know bad debts
are almost unknown in all dry
towns. They know collections are
better. They know arrests from
drunkenness are almost unknown.
They know every dry town in Ore

So. they became desperate.
Tsxpaysrs' League Il "Joks."
Then they organized The Joke
Taxpayers and Wage EarnerS'
League" DIR. Talbot was Secre-
tary. She became disguised when
she learned money was being col
lected by The brewers and distil-
ieries by the use of her name, and
she resigned.
Then Mrs. Duniway advertised
iavishly. announcing that the money
the league" was using was pro-
vided by the brewers.
The campaign of misinformaiion
carried on by employees of the
league, who are also employees of
the brewericS and dislillcricS, Is
now known all over Oregon.
Brewers Spending Your Money.
Every man, woman and child
has TO spend $40 a year with the
saloons.
IL you do not drink, some one
else has 10 pay YOUR share.
So, II Is YOUR money the Ore
son brewers and Eastern diSlil-
leries have been using TO persuade
YOU Oregon wet will do You
good. II is believed they expect
10 spend over 100000 of YOUR
money.
They know Oregon dry will put
them out Of business aud help every
other Kind Of business In the state.
Although the brewerics and dis
tillerieS know Oregon dry is for
better business, prosperity and
more work, they are fighting il.
Ne SAioonsi Better Business.

The reason is:
