four years ago. Elected by the vote of \
the party and the moral votes OF the cltv.
the good people expected DR.. Crowdus
TO enforce the laws and make the people

he hnched from his duty and acknowl. |
edge his inability TO enforce the Sunday |
law, and cast the deciding vote against
tho very element that elected him TO |
office. With the police (which he re- |
fused to increase), with the state law 3 |
enaoted by the legislature of our state, |
with the sheriff and all Of his power,
with the ordinances of the city,in fact,
