Hundred.
The great campaign to
make Oregon "wet" has
failed.
The exposure by DR.. Cora
Talbot, secretary Of the
Taxpayers and " a ge
Earners' League" that the
organization consisted Of two
persons, Mrs. Duniwav and
Dr.. Talbot, and was fl
nanced by the brewers and
distillers to make Oregon
wet, threw the fat iHto
the fire.
The brewers and distillers
know that all kinds Of busi-
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,
Newberg, Ashland, Corvallis, PEN
dleton and many other towns.
Organization Spreads Urtru.hs.
So they organized the "Taxpay-
ers' and Wage Earrers' League" to
spread misinformation 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
drunkenness are almost unknown.
They know every dry town in Ore
gon is prosperous.
So, they became desperate.
Taxpayers League Is "Joke."
Then they organized the joke
Taxpayers and Wage Earners'
League" DR.. Talbot was secre-
tary. She became disguised when
she learned money was being col
lected by the brewers and distil-
leries by the use of her name, and
she resigned.
Then Mrs. Duniway advertised
lavishly, announcing that the money
the league" was using was pro-
vided by the brewers.
The campaign of misinformation
carried on by employees Of the
league, who are also employees Of
the breweries and disiilIerics, is
now known all over Oregon.
Brewers Spending Your Money.
Every man, woman and child
has to spend $50 a year with the
saloons.
II you do moi drink. some one
else has to pay YOUR share.
So, it is YOUR money The Ore
gon brewers and Eastern distil-
leries have been using 10 persuade
YOU Oregon wet will do YOU
good. 1t is believed they expect
10 spend over 100000 of YOUR
money.
They know Oregon 1..y viii put
them out of business and help every
other kind Of business IN she state.
Although the hrewcrics and dis
tilleries know Oregon dry is for
better business, prosperity and
more work, they are fighting it.
No Saloons; Better Business.
We have had bad times with the
saloon, haven't we? Why not try
no saloon? Ii can't make things
worse and is certain to make
things better.
The reason is:
Money spent on the saloon can.
not be spent for groceries. Money
spent in the saIocns-much of it
goes East. Money spent for dry
goods and groceries stays in the
towns and makes better business.
The members Of tie Committee oi
One Hundred are al Oregonians
Most of them are business men
They ask you to vote Oregon dry
because they know, as the brew
ers also know, thai Oregon drJ
means better business, lower taxes
more work and a return to pros
perity.
For the experience of all Ore
gon dry towns has proved this tt
be the : case
