taken in the civic patriotic spirit in
which they are sent. The letter is as
follows:
As 4 special committee represent

YOU will gladly cooperate with us in
creating and maintaining Salem
beautiful.

Washington to Vote
on Prohibition Again

Seattle, Wash, May 12.-- Bert L.
Swezea, of the Pioneer Printing COM
pany, left Seattle yesterday for Olym-
pia to file an initiative bill repeating
the present prohibition bill.
There are two initiative measures
now on file amending the prohibition
bill, which is known as Initiative No.
3. Phe Swezea bill is for an absolute
repeal
The bill was decided upon following
a meeting of several business men, says
Swezea, and was prompted by the fact
that initiative bill No 3 was adopted
by the people "without fully under
standing its provisions.
''The filing Of this bill" he says, "is
in response to demands from al parti
of the state to have a second vote on
the question"

erstwbile Presidents together, MANY
suggestions have been made.
How the meeting was arranged for
the Union League reception is not
