The mayor notified the assembly that
he had appointed Soren Sorenson Il
member of the police force and asked
for concurrence. Mr.. DAILY objected to
the confirmation of SOrenson on the
ground that he was a member of the A.
z. a. organization. The order, Mr.. Daily
said, had for its purpose the kicking out
of persons who were Roman Catholics.
He for one did not believe in any such
thing, and said it was the duty
of every American citizen to protest
against the appointment OF any person
who is member of the order. AS Q

Catholic or Protestant, Democrat OF
Republican. unless he vas competent
and believed in tue perpetuation of
American institutions.

committee on police, as he was certain

would open the eyes of the Republican
party. The appointment was confirmed

be employed in carrying messages
and doing work for the citizens. The
charges for the use of one of the CON-
misSaires is TO be 80 cents an hour, 20
cents for half an hour, or 10 cents for
less than fifteen minutes. The COM

Sons of Jacob and Sons of Zion against
the enforcement of the peddlers'
license ordinance were presented. The
protest states that the ordinance is UNI
just and immoral. The signers pledge
themselves to use all legitimate means
to have the ordinance repealed.
The enforcement of the ordinance

were accompanied by request for the
repeal of the ordinance, signed by 120
interested citizens. They went to the
