taken

MR. ROOSEVELT THERE
at the meeting just prior to the reading of Mr.
Ottendorfers letter was greeted with loud
ontburst OF cheering. He was the last speaker
| and he first addressed himself to answering In
detail the statements contained in Mr.. often
dorfer's communication which reflected upon
the enforcement Of the Sunday law. and main
/ tanned that many OF the assertions were untrue
and were not based upon facts. He then pro-
ceeded to Justify the action Of the Commits
sioners In insisting upon the enactment of the
law. and ended by saying that even II the
enemy were elected this November. the Com
missioners would continue to enforce the law
as II stood upon the statute books. (Cheers)
