ABSOLUTELY PURE
DENOUNCE SAM JONES.

St. Louis saloon Keepers Say He IL q
Menace to the Morals of Citizens
ST. LOUIS. Aug. 24-Representative
of tho 81 Louis liquor dealers benevo-
VIOLENT association nave asked Mayor
w bridge to close the De HodiRmsnt
camp meeting. They declare that it was
a disgrace to the city and menace TO the
morals and regulations of It's citizens
Upon Mayor Walbridgs's refusal to en-
terrain the proposition, the liquor deal
ers argued the matter.
They said that the language used at
the De HOdiament Gang meeting by Sam
Jones, when he " as here recently, was
such as would not be tolerated IN any
The saloon keS pers whom they repre-
Sentsd they said were law abiding peo-
pie who paid their taxes, aud that the
idea of an evangelist being allowed to
come home and abuse them was rapug-
nant to them. They cited one of Sam
Jones' sayings, which is:
"a woman might AS we'll be married
to a dog as a saloOnkeepsr," in support
Of their assertion that his language Was
slauderous They also asserted that the
scurrilous innuendOes and expressions of
double entendre used by the evang elist
were against public morals and decency.
The camp-meeting as it was now be-
ing conducted, they said, bore remark
able and well defined resemblance
to a certain other class of illsgitimats
business. The main proposition upon
which their argument hinged. however,
WAS the right Of the mayor to stop it,
he would any other catch penny scheme
in which money was extracted from
gullibls public without having a valua-
bic consideration.
Mayor " aldridge explained that the
scope Of his duties did not extend to Ox-
ercisinR g personal supervision OF
espionage over the camp meeting. He
said that the right of free speech was an
inalienable one and that as mayor
Of the city of st. Louis he did not
possess the power to close the mouth Of
even the meanest citizen who might say
something distateful to the citizens of
the municipality.
He plainly intimated that he did not
indorse Sam Jones' method Of dissent
mating the gospel, but he held to the
tentative proposition first established by
him, that he could not encroach upon the
right Of free speech, and declined to In
terfere in any manner with the DeHodia-
ment camp meeting. The saloon-keSp-
ors said they would take legal steps to
suppress the meeting.

Loss OF POPULATION.
How It Is Going to Affect the Vote \.
Fall.

How It Is Going to Affect the Vote Next
Fall.
The chairmen of all the state central
committees agree that there will be a
great falling off in the vote cast at this
falls election.
The drouth has driven thousands and
thousands Of people out OF the state, es-
pecialiy ia this true of the western half.
The chairman Of one of the central
committees has just received an actual
poll of six western counties. Secretary
COburn, of the state board of agriculture,
few weeks ago reported that
in these six counties there are
1853 persons less than there
were two years ago. The actual
poll received by this chairman shows
that there are in reality 1,777 less voters
than there were two years ago or q de-
crease in population Of about 5000 per-
sons.
Chairman Richardson Of the Demo
cratic state central committee says $4,000
people have moved out of the Seventh
congressional district. which will cut the
voting population at least 10000 below
that of two years ago. He says there are
at least twelve counties in the western
part Of the state that will not have the
constitutional number Of voters to keep
up their organizations.
Chairman Leland says this falling off
in Population insures the election of
Chester L Long to congress from the
Seventh district, but on the other hand
Chairman Breidenthal says it was from
these western counties that the Rspubli-
cans elected most of their members OF
the legislature last year so that it will be
a Republican instead of a p Opulist loss.

ers at the jail before escaping that he
intended to do SO at the first chance. and
further that he intended TO s'dO'' the races
At HOltOn and Leavenworth. When
WIlkerson heard of this he took the first

most Of the day on the race track, To-
Gated Campbell. The young prisoner
pleaded not 10 be brought back TO Topeka
on the ground that he had already been
IN jail five months, but his pleadings
were unavailing. When Camp bell was
made trusty, Sheriff Burdge ordered
him given special privileges because his
health is poor. Campbell, In talking to
the sheriff about it, said: "AIy trying to
escape is out Of the question. My folks
live. here and my health is poor. I have

would be foolish TO try to escape under
