even less for Doran than 1t did two, years
ago when Mayor Smith had majority.
In the Fourth ward. where Mr.. Cullen
lives. and which is reckoned on even by the
Republicans to give him handsome major
ity the returns are uniformly good. IN the
Second and Twelfth precincts slight 1alline
off is noted in the number registered yester-
day. as compared with the figures OF week
ego This is accounted for by the fact that
business men put off matters of this kind I'M
til the last moment.
The Democratic Fifth, Eighth and Ninth
wards are getting to the front in most en-
couraging style. This is partly due to the
fact that voters are being gotten out regard
less of party. The hustlers at work for both
sides are willing to take chances on the vote,
and therefore no distinction is being made
in solicitations On a full vote the Demo-
cratic candidates will be benefited very large
w. because most of the stay at-home vote in
these wards has been Democratic This year
there is no reason, either, because of sore
ness or unfit candidates, why men should re-
fuse to vote, and they will do so without
urging.
The Prohibitionists have Mr.. Doran be-
tween the devil and the deep sea, and are
not helping him out little bit George f.
Wells, a member Of the city Prohibition
committee and of the committee which in
terviewed Mr.. Doran for the cold water peo-
pie, being interviewed concerning that gen.
tleman's criticism of the committees report,
said:
Mr.. Doran insinuates that the report of the
committee was not correct. Wherein was
it incorrect? That report states that the
interviewers asked Mr.. Doran whether he
understood that the Republican platform
pledged its candidates 70 the enforcement
of all the laws, including the liquor laws,
that che brought up the Sunday saloon
question" and ''stated that he would
not agree to close the saloons during the
entire day" Does Mr.. Doran deny this?
mopoltan character of our people, and that
on that account it was impracticable to
enforce some state laws in a city the size
of st. Paul" Does Mr.. Doran deny that he
said this? The report says: Being re-
minded of the success or Sunday closing in
New York city and the remarkable and i'm
mediate decrease of crime upon that day
consequent thereupon, he declared that in
his judgment the policy there inaugurated
would set back the cause of Republicanism
and good government ten years." Does Mr..
Doran deny that he made this statement
The report says: Zone argument presented
by Mr.. Doran in favor of liberal policy
was that travelling men would not spend
their Sundays in the city If they could not
be served with liquors at their hotels, and
that no discrimination should be made in the
liquor selling privileges between these hotels
that this was his position? AS a member
of the interviewing committee, 1 declare that
every statement in the committees re-
port is absolutely true, both in letter and
spirit.
Mr.. Doran says: az never told them that
] favored their Qiquor laws) violation" 1t
has not been claimed that he did. We did not
discuss the question whether men ought to
obey or violate the law, but whether he, as
the candidate Of the Republican party for
mayor would, if elected, consider himself
bound by the pledge made by the convention
which nominated him to enforce the laws.
What is Mr.. Doran's position upon this
question? If the committee, through ignor-
ance misunderstood him, or through malice
purposely misrepresented him, L am sure he
possesses the ability to write one short SEN
tence for the city press which the intelligent
voters of st. Paul can understand. Mr..
Doran has the floor. George F. Wells.

Stanton Hungton, who was mentioned in
yesterdays G o b g as a member of the
Ramsey County Cullen league denies that
he is member OF that body. He makes the
correction, he says, not in any intention of
discrediting the new organization, but be-
rause it would be inconsistent with his posi-
tion in another organization.
The interest in the present city campaign
Is shown by the large number of persons
who are taking out their naturalization pa
pers. Not less than $50 secured their first
papers within the last few days and great
many more have taken out their second pa
pers. In the clerk Of courts office 1t is
claimed that a majority of them are sup
porters of the Democratic ticket which goes
TO show that they are promising citizens.
