G. B. Duncan and FIR. John Gmeiner.

Prof. A. z. Drew spoke briefly during the
wait for the committee, during which he
said that the leaven the Prohibition party
had injected into the municipal loaf had had
its effect. Never since he could recall had
the two old parties named two such clean
men as headed the present tickets. Yet If
they were not ready to take the stand for
law and order he could not support them.
DICTATED BY BEER MEN.
G. N. Woodward said he could not support
a candidate who was running on platform
compelled the elimination from it of a clause
pledging the party to the enforcement of the
liquor laws.
An elderly man stirred up some feeling by
the suggestion that Doran was weak In the
knees.
Rev. G. H. Gamble took issue with this.
He believed If both the other nominees were
clean men they were entitled to considera-
ton. Character should count with man,
particularly in municipal campaigns.
The resolutions committee reported in IA
vor of exacting from all nominees fitness,
honesty and capacity, and a wise econo-
enforce the liquor laws; the re-
tention of all ordinances that have prac-
tically prohibited saloons in certain districts
in the city, and the extension Of that dis
trict so far as within the power of the city
council; congratulated the citizens that
all parties had practically adopted the Pro-
hibition partys position on enforcement Of
the laws, but regretted that both mayoralty
nominees declined to give the assurance
that they would enforce the liquor laws, and
especially do we regret that the Republican
candidate defends the violation of the laws
requiring saloons to close on Sunday, and
thereby practically repudiates his own plat
form and announces in advance that he will
violate his oath of office"
Rev. d. Morgan said Doran was Just what
he was two years ago. He could not vote for
any man who so defied the law. He ought to
have sense enough not to expect the liquor
vote I'VE cannot sustain lawless men, and
men who uphold law-brcaking. If we do, then
let us not criticise the anarchist"
A. c. Bonham, Of the Sixth ward said he
had been favorably inclined to Mr.. Doran, but
he could not support man who was defying
| the laws on the statute books
H.
ago, had not offered the prohibitionists sum
of money to indorse his candidate
| Mr.. Gamble said he was a member of the
nominations committee two years ago, but
had made
NO OFFER OF MONEY,
and any one who knew him knew that that
was not true. Although not delegate, he
did not think the convention ought to make
any unkind fling at Doran.
This was obviated by inserting before Mr.
! Doran's name the words: ''The only one of
the candidates who has committed himself
| Mr. Doran."
