TEN DOLLARS FOR DRINK,
Joe Wahlberg Is Fined for Giving
Whisky to Prisoner in Jail.

In the police court yesterday forenoon
Joe Wahlberg, bartender was taught a
lesson that cost him $40 He admitted
giving whiskey to a prisoner in the city
Jail, but pleaded in eXtenuation that he
thought the young man needed liquor for
medicinal purposes. Judge Murphy
thought differently about the matter and
the fine of $40 was the result.
The prisoner is Henry Larson, a stem
son OF the defendant, who had been ar
rested for malicious destruction of prop
erty in Pat Smyth's saloon. Wahlberg
obtained permission Of Officer Charles
Layne, who was in charge of the office
while jailed SNYDER was out for a few
minutes, to give his stepscn some to-
bacco. Instead of giving him tobacco
only he slipped the bottle of whiskey
through the bars.
Attorney Lessenger in defense of his
client, advanced a rather peculiar argu-
ment He said that the young man was
nervous and needed drink. No man
confined in Jail but needs something to
stimulate him., ne maintained.

We also pledge all our candidates to

We favor a thorough investigation Of
the graft that has already been exposed
to the public, as being carried on by the
court house ring, together with the pros

We pledge our candidate for county at
torney to assist rather than retard the
prosecution of any officer charged by any
citizen with Misrepresentation of public

We hold that it is a political truth that
every officer responsible for the disburse-

trust, and we believe that there have been
instances in the past where the conditions

Sentiment Against Graft.

1t was il Is o'clock when County Chair
man Il. d. Johnson raped for order
mere were about $50 delegates present at
the time and others came struggling in
as the convention proceeded. In the OPEN
ing speech of the day Chairman Johnson
showed clearly that the fight during the
coming campaign would be directed al
most entirely against grating I'm pub
lie office He made a strong plea for an
anfi-graft plank in the Democratic plat
form, stating that the recent exposures
OF Illegal appropriation of public moneys
was species of graft that should be
stopped. He said that if he were draft
ing a motto for the party this fail he
would make it, Public officials must
obey the law" If modifying the Demo-
cratic emblem was within his power he
would place a broom in the claws of the
oe1lant rooster and have a picture of the
county court house in the background
The remarks of Mr.. johnson which were
br1ef, were greeted with long applause
ana when he named Uncle" John Sea-
man as temporary chairman and r. T
Harris as temporary secretary, referring
TO the former as the warhorse of Democ-
racy in Weber county, there was another
demonstration lasting several minutes.
Uncle John Speaks.
Mr.. Seaman, in his characteristic STYLE.
pointed out the duties of the citizens of
the country and also talked along anti
graft lines dealing out some hot Shot
10 those who have been found guilty of
Illegally appropriating money from the
II easury. He said that there have been
rlen in office here who have been law
unto themselves, that men have taken
money from the treasury, to which they
were not entitled, and" he continued
when we expose this graft it is called
dirty politics by our opponents" He also
called attention TO the petitions that had
been signed by thousands of people in the
county asking that grand juries be called
To investigate the affairs OF the county
and asked his hearers what had been done
with these petitions
Mr.. Seaman said that if the county Of
ficers had the power to prosecute the
county officials who were not doing their
duty or not obeying the laws, they did not
exercise the right, and that the prosecu-
ton of dishonest officials had to be taken
up by n private citizen. He referred to
the expose of the padded pay roll system
thar had been used in Weber county and
the bounty frauds.
He said that the Republican press had
defended those who were implicated in
this dishonest work and for this reason
the Republicans could not be trusted to
do the square thing by the people. In his
opinion there should be honesty in public
service and no pilfering of the public
treasury.

Before closing his fifteen minute address
Mr.. Seaman paid a high tribute to Judge

for congress. The mention of Mr. Powers
name was the signal for another pro-
Hinged demonstration on the part of the
delegates.

the taxpayers have to pay.
Reference was made to the padded paw

That the United States is the most
