Prosecuting Attorney McElroy causes Il
be printed IN a local paper a long intervie,
with himself, IN which he seeks to place
responsibility for failure TO close the gamh-
bling houses on the Seattle police and

CHANCE FOR SHERIFF. MOVER.

Sheriff Meyer asserted his authority
on Friday night BY interfering with a
boxing match. which Is not against the
laws; but he Is utterly blind TO the fact
that gambling is running wide open in
some parts OF the city. He cannot be
expected to gather that Information
from the columns OF the Post-Intelli-
geneer: but he surely reads that mouth
piece II demagogic morality which sup
ports the Way-Harr combine. He may
learn from its columns that gambling
goes on night after night I'm rooms to
which he can effect an entrance with
out breaking down the door.
We challenge Sheriff Meyer and Pros
ecuting Attorney McElroy and Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney John +. Hart
and Deputy Sheriff Calderhead, candi-
date for mayor on the Populist ticket.
10 do their duty and enforce the laws.
The law Of this state is very specific
on the subject In defining the duties Of
the county officers. Since the P0pulist
officials may not know what the law
is and what their duties are we will
quote It for their benefit The law OF
this state says: ct shall be the duty
OF all constables and sheriffs to make
complaint OF all violations of the Grim
inal laws which shall come to their
knowledge within their respective jUris-
dictions"
Under the chapter relating to of
lenses against public morality and de-
cency." the state law says il shall be
the duty Of each prosecuting attorney,
constable city or town marshal or pub
lie officer to inform against and dill
gently prosecute any and all persons
whom they shah have reasonable cause
% believe guilty Of a violation of the
provisions Of this title" In order that
the sheriff or prosecuting attorney may
not escape the consequences OF failure
to do their duty. any citizen may call
upon the sheriff or prosecuting attorney
10 Do bis duty. under the following pro-
vision:
Any officer named In the preceding
section who shall refuse or winfully
neglect T. inform against and prosecute
offenders against this act shall be
deemed guilty ~ a misdemeanor. and
on conviction shall be punished by A
fine Of not less than $50 nor more than
$500. and the court before which such
officer shall b. tried shall declare the
office. or appointment held by such Of
hcer. vacant for the balance q his
term"
