Democratic leaders in that city have, in their
purpose to make capital on the liquor question,
overreached themselves. 1t says that sat first
they complained that the sheriff was arbitrary
in executing the law, citing as special hard
ship that certain mechanics were obliged to
stop work because alcohol could not be OBJ
tanned; then they assaulted the sheriff with the
charge that he had indicated his purpose not to
interfere with the sale of alcohol for strictly
legitimate uses; then through the action of the
Mayor they carried out their cherished design
of closing the authorized agency, thus deprv-
Ing large community of the only lawful
means of obtaining spirits for medicinal and
mechanical purposes; then they complained
that the sheriff had "winked'' at the filing of
prescriptions for liquors by druggists and the
more Jealous Mayor then caused the seizure of
a package of spirits ordered by one of our
promnet apothecaries
