MORGAN BOASTS WRIGHT.
Rev. Morgan contrasted this conven-
ton with the first Prohibition cOnven-
ton III the city. He was chairman; the
Pioneer Press reporter was secretary,
and the GLOBE reporter was the audi.
ence. The papers reported an enthusi-
astic meeting. and 1t was the sensation
70 the day. He raised the expenses of
hall and advertising by taxing Repnb-
licans who inquired about the meeting
dollar before he would give them full
particulars. He now claims 1900
votes in the city for the Pro-
hibition ticket. He told the
story of Wright's perfidy in the
last campaign, said he was glad they
attempted to gain their points through
the Republican party then because now
no one will ask them to trust that party
again. He roasted Wright as a car
who assumed to say what laws should
be enforced and insisted that j. Ham
Davidson would enforce the laws against
the open saloon Sunday as we'll as those
against thieves Monday; that was all
they asked-the enforcement of the
| laws. The man who took an oath to en-
force the laws and then violated that
oath Was as bad as the anarchist who
boasts of his opposition to law.
Professor Innes spoke of the rela-
tons OF the municipal league to the
Prohibition party, and expressed be-
lief that eveu majority of those who
drink GeSire that the laws be enforced.
DORAN INTERVIEWED
In opening the convention, N. r.
interview had by d. W. Doty, w. A.
Mechanical and himself. April 6, with
F. B. Doran, they having visited him as
committee appointed by the city COM
mittee.
Mr.. Doran said:
Gentlemen: might as well state to
you that am Republican, and before
accepting your nomination would con-
suit with the leaders of the party. To
be candidate necessltates the giving
of great deal OF time and the outlay of
a large amount of money, aud do not
care to enter into the contest unless [
am reasonably sure to be elected. AS [
understand the views of your party,
they are very extreme, and think to
accept your nomination would be sui
cidal."
One of the committee said: "All we
ask is the enforcement OF the laws as
they are. our platform being substan-
TALLY the same as the citizens platform
of two years ago"
Mr.. Doran said: 81 am not satisfied
in my mind that it would be Wise
thing to enforce the Sunday closing
laws" He followed with line of argu-
ment supporting his position from what
he called 1.-The financial, economical and
practical view," and said If elected be
would advise with men in whose judy
| meut he had confidence, ascertalning
| what was best from the experience Of
| other cities in enforcing the Sunday
| closing laws. If Sunday closing APP
| peared practical he would at least give
| the matter a trial.
In reply to a question as to whether
| he would not consider 1t his duty TO
abide by the laws he was sworn to eX-
| ecute, lie answered.:
| 1--WE have to be practical in such mat
ters," and further, he admitted that 1t
was quite probable that he would reach
| the same conclusion as Mr.. Wright, and
| that lie would give committee the
same reply as Wright did, though he
would not treat them abruptly as he
| said.
