LIQUOR MEN TO
TOE THE MARK

There is a feeling I'm this city just now
10 the effect that those liquor dealers who
desire TO do an Illegal Sunday business are
not going TO get great deal OF satisfac-
ton out OF the administration OF Mayor
Joseph w. Freeman. Those who were in
the business during the previous term Of
Mr. Freeman Will remember that there
was not a great deal doing in that line for
at least one year. and II will also be
pretty well remembered that IL was be-
cause OF Mayor Freemans determine ton
10 enforce the law that the Republican
machine refused TO give him a second
nomination.
This was not very satisfactory TO the
rank and file OF the Republican party
although il was what the party leaders
were after
From that day to this tho party has
been having its troubles. They began inn
mediately after the Inauguration OF Mayor
Fales, and they have continued without
any let up ever since.
lt romans TO be seen If another term
Of Mayor Freeman will give the party
any better standing i'm the community.
1t is stated that shortly after the inau-
guration OF Mayor Freeman several years
ago he notified tho chief OF police that he
would be held strictly accountable for
the conduct of the affairs OF the depart
ment and that so long as he did his duty
he would not be interfered with.
it is quite probable that Mayor Free
man will adopt the same course this year
and IL will be interesting TO see what are
the results.
