THE MODERATE DRINKER
He Is q Rarity and Seldom in Eyi.
dence
Any Tan Who Can TruthfuiIy Say That he
Is noderatc D-inker Is a
Rarity

There are but few moderate drinkers
on this earth. Any moderate drinker is
more than likely to get drunk at almost
any time. He drops into a saloon to get
q bracer and happens to meet a few
friends. -"
Have drink with me, old man." he
says, and that starts the ball rolling The
few moments chat that follows the first
urlnk leads to companion ordering an
other round, and later others of the party
do the same. -
that's just about the way YOU started
IN during your younger days. and now
you md the accursed thing has such a
noia on you that you can't break away
from 1t. The chances are that YOU don't
know just how it is that your footsteps
unconsclously turn towards the saloon,
Dut the fact remains that it does. and
the saloon Keeper gets a goodly portion
OF your money, for which you get no yis-
1ple return. When you buy dry goods
or groceries you always have something
10 snow for your expenditure. But when
you place your money on the bar YOU
nave nothing but few feeting moments
OF imagined pleasure for the privilege
OF swilling down a quantity of LIQUID
damnation.
Misery and sorrow are ever on the trail
OF the man who drinks. be he young or
old. lie finds this out, however Oft
lines WHEN II is tOOtl tldLe. as he concludes.
II he is married the evil OF such a habit
has impressed itself upon his mind with
awful intensity. A drunken husband
and father is not q pleasing thing for
loving wife and prattling children to
think of. Though he may bring the gray
hairs of his parents in sorrow to the
grave, the sting is not nearly so deep as
to know he has broken the heart of the
pure girl he promised to love and cher
ish.
Well, what's to be done That's easy.
Ii you are in earnest and want to get
away from the habit you can take medi-
cine at home for few days and it will
entirely cure the desire for all alcoholic
liquors. Take a spoonful four times a
day. The taste is pleasant and it will
not injure you in the slightest The cost
is moderate. You'll be another man in
a week. If it doesn't satisfy you, your
money will be refunded. Suppose you
call at the office of the National Liquor
Cure company. rooms 122-123, Wilson
block. corner First and Spring streets,
Los Angeles. and have a talk with the
manager. Everybody is treated white
there.

committe. on cred dentlaIs

The next order of business was the
reading of the report of the commit
tee on credentials, which was presented
by Chairman M. w. Conkling. Only
two contests We're reported. one in Ma
tiOnal precinct No. 4, when the delegates
recognized by the chairman at the morn
ing session were seated. In the matter
of the Fifteenth precinct, the commit
tee reported as follows:
In the Fifteenth precinct we find that
that there is a contest. We further find
that three of the sitting delegates COM
posed the board of election. We further
find that these judges unlawfully re-
fused to allow proper challenges to be
put to persons offering to vote; that they
wilfully allowed repeating and f1oaters
from other precincts to vote and that
these f1Oaters and repeaterS voted for
the sitting delegation, their ticket being
distinguished by being g. red ticket,
while the contesting delegation were on
a white ticket. They further refused
to allow the contestants to properly
inspect the casting Of ballots and that
they put the ballots in the box in such
way as that 1t could not be determined
whether the ballots offered were put in
the box or not. We believe that the
contesting delegation consisting of Capt
A. NJ. Bragg. r. N, Walters, P. Reene,
]. L. Tucker proxy, Thomas Chambers,
Thomas Weiss J.Douglass are the choice
T. Weiss and ]. Douglass are the choice
Of the majority of the precinct and we
recommend that they be seated. We
further recommend that no proxy be
allowed any person living outside of
the precinct, and that in the absence of
any delegates the majority of those re-
naming shall cast his vote.

In the interval between 1880 and ESQ
o'clock the various committees met for
work. the committee on resolutions at
the Office of c. e. Munday, its chairman,
and the committee on credentials and
order OF business meeting In side rooms
at Turner hall. The first to report was
the committee on credentials. Before
this was announced Chairman Patton
announced that Senator White having

that Senator White could be at once
elected q delegate-at-large to the state
convention. The motion carried unan-
imously on rising vote. The conven-
tion at the mention of Whites name
shouted itself hoarse as one man. The
senator was hurried to the platform and
made an address full of feeling and
punctured with brilliant periods as only
Stephen M. White knows how. White
among other things said:
Every American, because of his sur
roundings, exercises his individual
judgment. Here we stand upon the
proposition that every American is a
sovereign, and at the polls each casts
his ballots as he sees fit. The Democrat

that II q tariff upon sugar was returned
