Councilman A. III. Anderson after
raking us for our workhouse crii-
cisms, subjected himself to an inter-
view on the whisky question. Said
he, ~ have seen all the men who
would likely enter the whisky busi-
ness and a number of other citizens,
aud think license of $1,000 would
be unsatisfactory. The Council has a
right to fix the license, and l would
vote to place it at $500. This would
give us about 10 saloons" He ex-
pressed this opinion on the presump-
ton that the prohibitionists would
not make fight next May.

secure any office. lie is not willing |
to submit his claims to this combiDa-
ton in convention, but appeals TO
the party to assist him the first Mon

citizen and would make a competent
officer.
