Ames, of 116 West 42nd st., New York City, has written me a letter about but- \ter and oleomargarine. On the letterhead are printed Ames’ name and address, but no other information concerning him given. I haven’t the slightest idea who he is or what he represents. I suspect he is a propagandist, probably an amateur. Ames has been reading Washington and Oregon news- papers “required by my business connections.” He has read about “the active campaign waged by the dairy inter- ests in your state in favor of a referendum to be voted on oth at the November election. This referendum concerns the Aug. 1 today American planet were damaged to ratification of laws which would prevent the sale of oleo- }much an extent that the fight ul Thur was!margarine containing vegetable oils.” y s was} Ames’ letter is a threat, He accuses Washington dairy- planes out cottonseed, peanut and cocoanut oil products, which} | compete with butter as a spread for bread and as a short- | he U. & 8.

But if these anti-margarine laws become effective the only remedy left to the peanut and cottonseed states will be a retaliatory boycott.” Ames has heard of Washington and Oregon, cheese. It jhas “a big reputation all over the country.”. Also “evapor-| ated milk from Washington and Oregon cows is shipped to jall parts of the globe.” He mentions our toothsome salmon jand our luscious fruits.

Your letter with its threat of a boycott might scare a timid dairyman, but it can’t scare an honest news- paper, here or anywhere. If margarine is half as bad as the dairrymen say it is, this newspaper will oppose its sale in Washington. If margarine is half as good as the makers of it say it is, this newspaper will insist upon its admission and sale in this state, I suspect our dairymen are selfishly inspired in their fight on margarine.
