eryone should be dealt by Justly and
fairly In this natter that the saloon.
keeper should be looked upon as a busl-
ness man and inasmuch as the mer-
chants are satisfied with being open six
days In the week the saloon men should
BE-.
Mr., Mulyey again took the floor and
INDUCED In the following remarks.
Il don't suppose anyone here Is more
/ Interested in the liquor traffic than
your humble sercant, but want
to say to the chairman right now,
and | want TO point 20 DR.. Anderson
and TO the gentleman who has Just
spoken Bert olsen), and say that IL |
were 70 close my saloon next Sunday
they would be the first 10 try TO break
In. | want to say further that no
honorable saloonman ever did or ever
win refuse 70 obey the laws or the
! ordinances of the city IN which he
does business. | am In favor OF holding
UP the law and the ordinances all the
time but do desplse these false repre-
sentau0ns; and | tell you ladies and
gentlemen OF this convention, that It
Is not the salo0nman who Is wrong; Ii
Is the people who try TO break into his
place. | have been In this bust
ness twenty-slx years, and have
never felt as though ! wanted 20 violate
the ordinances Of the city, | do not
want 70 do II now, but do want to say
that these people who stand up lin these
conventions and preach morals are the
FIRST ones that come to our doors and
want d drink"
Bert Olsen waxed exceedingly indig-
nant at Mulyeys insinuations and We
hemently called the latter a 'lIar"
Subsequently Mr. Mulvey apologlzed
for what he had said in reference to Mr..
Olsen.
The most forceful appeal was made
by JUDGE Henderson, who stepped down
into the body OF the house and deliy-
cred IN 4 very imprisoned manner q
speech which was In part as follows:
y do not believe that any convention
OF self-respecting men can stand IN
mere ana undertake 20 advertise them
selves as an applicant for votes at the
expense OF the morals OF the city. II
mas teen limited that the Democratic
parry VIII be defeated In this campaign
with that plank In its platform. Let me
say to you that there are, worse things
than defeat. II Is sometimes that de-
feat Is honorable. Sometimes defeat Is
good for the soul; 1t Is a purifier. II
the Democratic convention here today
stanGs up and advortises that we are
Wiling to sacrifice our manhood and
our morals for the sake of getting
votes, we ought to be defeated" This
latter remark caused MIR. Mulvey 10
turn and grasp Judge Hendefsons
hand' who said, II am glad have con-
VVelleu my friend Mulyey," after which
he continued we cannot afford 10
dodge this question. | am In favor of
nominating q man that will promise
sacledly before this convention anu be-
lore INC people Of this community, and
before his God, that he win enforce the
laws OF THIS community. and no other
man can have my vote. The Sabbath
gay ought 70 BIZ sacred and It ought 10
be Kept fanny sacred Anyone that
claims the iichl 10 sell 10 the sons and
husbands Vi this city and 10 the chill
aren OF tins city intoxicating liquors on
me sabbath hes no rlsht to he heard In
any decent community upon this sub
lect Is u right that there should be
solemt deliberations Of the City Coun-
~ and The Aayor as 10 whether they
'hall enforce the laws which they have
iolemnly sworn to enforce? Shall such |
} city Ccwlcil and Mayor be elected7 |
Not by my vote, and I don't believe |
)y ne votes Of this convention"
The speech Of Judge Henderson was |
oilowed by tilt between |
Irdsc Hodge and NJ. T.. Mulvey. |
The former took the floor and In the
curse 81 an lmpassioned appeal for
he Sunday closing Of saloons, he said |
dulvey was another Cleveland. that II
he party would not do what he want
d Il to he would cut himself loose from
he party.
hulyey Interrupted him and wanted
I'm to repeat his last sentence that he
