fOrccmcnt of law and regulations" On
this platform Col. Wright stands, and |
know he viii enforce that section, and
we Will have order in this city. A
man who is rich, proud and vigorous
who moves in the best circles of society
as he does will keep his word. If the
saloons are to be kept under control we
need such a man removed from such
surroundings as might make him the
friend of saloons. You have heard
much about taxes in the campaign, but
never mind that. | would rather pay
s. or 50 more taxes every year and have
the laws enforced. 1t is my firm belief
that Col. Wright Will close the Sunday
theater, the beer garden and saloon, and
| entrcat yOu all TO vote for him at the
polls next Tuesday"
There was good deal OF enthusiasm
when Mr. Wolf concluded, which was
turned into a greeting for j. NJ. Dahlby,
another man very prominent in prohi-
btOn circles, who followed Mr.. Wolf
Mr.. Dahby said:
81 shall not detain yon long, gentle
men have not come prepared with
long speech. 1t has always seemed to
me that the people OF this country have
too much politics. We now have before
us two candidates for mayor OF this
city. We have Robert A. Smith
discussed by the Democrats and Col.
Fred i. Wright by the Republicans ana
HrohibltiOnists. 1t seems to me that
the proper question for us to ask is who
Will make the best servant for our in
terpSt In other words, who will be
our best hired man? The mayor is in
the same capacity to the people as the
man who drives or wagon or labOrs for
us in any capacity. We want man
who will rigidly enforce the law. | am
told that there are nearly 400 saloons in
this city. Think of it! The many
crime-breeding dens in ST. Paul where
men fight and get drunk, We must
elect man to suppress these places
and keep
The Doors Tightly Closed.
We have such man in Col Wright.
He is the proper person to do this. He
is man who has 10 sympathy with the
common people. lie does not associate
with them, and is removed from their
influence. A man who comes from the
people is too easy with them, and in
clined to give them too much amuSe-
ment that is evil. The false idea is en-
tertained that because they labor six
days a week some means of amusement

it would be truer charity to close up the
saloons, and keep them closed. This
election is Il contest between that ele-
ment and the respectable portion of the
people. The ministers at their meet
ing few days ago Endorsed Wright
They have preaching about lawless-
ness in st. Paul for years, but in him
they see no violator of law. lie has
been called forth by the sentiment of
citizens, and it has been said that Col.
Wright was forced upon the Republican
party. The people have indorsed him.
Besides this he is colonel of one
OF our regiments and has the backing
of our entire militia. They are strong
body of men. Strong enough to stop a
prize fight if it was ever necessary and
if he is elected"
After Mr.. Dahlby. Chairman Nelly
made a few remarks. There was no
need. he said, of adding any remarks
to those already made. He would
simply invite attention TO the way the
closing laws had been enforced in
Duluth two years ago and also why the
same could not be accomplished in st.
Paul.
