End of the Suffrage Campaign

A Splendid Banquet at the Marion Hotel Saturday Night Ends a Probably Successful Suffrage Battle

With every person on the program, no matter what his or her subject, giving expression favorable to woman suffrage, the biggest and most spirited meeting of the campaign season for the purpose of promoting the suffrage movement was held in the dining room of the Marion hotel Saturday night. A total of nearly 20 numbers made up the program, and while there were several speakers who were expected to be present who did not arrive, their places were well filled by others who were present, notwithstanding that most of them were called upon unawares and spoke extemporaneously.
Much to the disappointment of those who had charge of the gathering, Mrs. Henry Waldo Coe, of Portland, president of the Oregon Equal Suffrage League, and her husband, who was also scheduled for an address, were not present. Mrs. Therkelson, of Portland, presided in the absence of Mrs. Coe.
Judge Peter D’Arcy was introduced by the chairman as toastmaster of the occasion and introduced all of the speakers and the musicians. With his ready fund of humor and his grasp of the best quotations in English literature, Judge D’Arcy served admirably in the capacity for which he was chosen. His repartee with some of the speakers, particularly Col. “Bob” Miller and Edith Tozler-Wetherred contributed to the spirit of the meeting.
Manager Crowe’s perfect dining room organization resulted in the courses being served without confusion and the menu was one long to be remembered.
Among those who were booked on the program, but who were unable to be present, were Dr. Esther Pohl Lovejoy, Dr. and Mrs. Henry Waldo Coe, all of Portland, Mrs. Kate Bridwell, of California and Mrs. Ruth B. Ridges and Miss Caroline Fenton, of Minneapolis. All communicated their regrets by letter or by telegram.
Mayor Welcomes Guests.
In his usual laconic but catchy manner, Mayor Louis Lachmund extended words of welcome to the guests. He mentioned the incoming of the equal suffrage spirit in Salem as a part of the general awakening from the Rip Van Winkle period of the community. He said that Salem is a city of doors that swing both ways and that people boosting the equal suffrage movement are welcome at any time.
In the absence of Governor West, A. F. Hofer, secretary of the Board of Trade, spoke briefly. Mr. Hofer said that Governor West was ardent in his support of equal suffrage – and some other things, hinting that the executive is good at the game of making two votes grow where but one grew before. Secretary Hofer said he had never fooled much with the question of woman suffrage and didn’t know just where it was loaded. However, he expressed himself in favor of the move and said that he had no doubt that it would win in the end and that all would be better men and better women as a result.
The remainder of the speakers and their subjects were as follows:
Julius W. Knispell, Portland, “The Socialist Pary;” Mrs. Olive England Enright, Salem, “Suffrage Poem;” Merwin E. Paget, Salem, “The Prohibition Party;” Edith Tozier-Wetherred Tacoma, “Good Roads;” Judge William Galloway, “The Democratic Party;” Dr. B.L. Steeves, Salem, “What I Will Do When I Become Mayor;” Col. E. Hofer, Salem, “Home Industries;” Walter L. Tooze, Salem, “Progressive Women;” Mes. Edith Kellog Bartlett, Salem, “The Infringement of the Sex;” Thomas B. Kay, Salem, “The Republican Party;” Robert A. Miller, Portland, “Political Equality;” Fred S. Bynon, Salem, “Political Potpourri.”
The paper on “Political Potpourri,” by Fred S. Bynon, written after the fashion of Mr. Dooley, was one of the cleverest numbers on the program, containing many local hits and thrusts of a pungent nature.
The subject of “The Infringement of the Sex,” handled by Edith Kellog Bartlett, was extremely clever, the theme being largely a study of economic conditions, delivered in a humorous and dramatic manner.
The vocal numbers rendered by Mrs. Hallie Parrish Hinges were received with the usual applause and the singer responded to encores each time. The orchestra directed by H. N. Stoudenmeyer, contributed much to the delection of all, rounding out and completing a perfect program.

COUNTY PLATFORM

The Prohibition Party of Marlon County, Oregon, in convention assembled at Salem, Oregon, on June 15,

1912, expressing gratitude to God for guidance In the past, recognizing Him as the author of all just government and seeking Ills direction In the campaign before us, makes the following declaration of principles for their platform for 1912:

Declaration of Principles.
The Prohibition Party is the only truly ‘“progressive” party, as evidenced by its broad platform utterances in the past. By its 40 years of uncompromising preaching and practicing of political righteousness, it has made possible the present “progressive” wave and demand for national purification. In line, therefore, with such record, we declare:

1. For the renewal of our allegiance to the principles and platforms of the Prohibition party of the United States and of the state of Oregon.

2. We demand relief from the burden of excessive, unjust and taxation: First, by the dismissal of all commissions and officials’. My placing all officials upon a reasonable flat salary; by the abolition of the present extravagant and dishonest method of paying certain officers in addition to their regular salaries, a large amount for clerk and deputy hire regardless of whether such clerks or deputies are employed or not.

And by charging all court expenses and the costs of the care of criminals whose crime was committed under the Influence of liquor to the municipality where the liquor was sold.

Second, by a revision of the present system of taxation, by exemption of personal property to the amount of $400.
By discontinuing the taxation of mortgages.
By discontinuing the present and penalty system of collecting taxes, collecting only a legal rate of interest upon taxes not paid by the first day of April;

And by the adoption of a well considered income tax law.

3. For suffrage, to women upon the same terms and conditions as to men.

4. We favor a registration law, which can be more economically administered than the present one.

5. We favor equal opportunities for capital and labor and declare for enactment of such laws as will ensure the nearest possible approach to this equality.

6. We declare the national government should prohibit all interstate commerce In Intoxicating beverages and should forbid the use of the malls to aid such traffic as is now done regarding lotte”, ies and other evils.

7. We declare for the destruction of the white slave traffic with its unspeakable evils, and the enactment of stringent lawn and their rigid enforcement against the social evil.

8. The Prohibition Party for 40 years has cried aloud against the compromising and half-way measures of dealing with the liquor question; has stood without fusion or surrender of its great principles, against the gigantic liquor traffic and its corrupt partnership with municipal, state and national governments; the combined liquor parties, the powerful subsidized press, the heartless sanction of business Interests, the tyranny of social custom, and the amazing apathy and indifference of the Christian voters. We today renew our demand that the opponents of the liquor traffic shall get together In the only place where they can unite and cooperate with any promise of success the Prohibition party. As never before we call upon all good men and patriots to rally to the standards of that party, and make 1912 the “Out to Win” campaign in the war on the legalized liquor traffic.
