PLAN TO WEED
OUT SALOONS
City Solicitor will Appear as
Prosecutor Against Alleged
Objectionable Places
POLICE WILL MAKE
THE INVESTIGATIONS

Much interest has been aroused over
the filing Of remonstrances by the
Police Department against two saloon
proprietors who are to apply FOR IL
censes at the present term OF the
Court Of General Sessions.
1t was learned today that rhis
method will be followed i'm the future
when an application for license is
received from a saloon against which
there is objection to a renewal Citv
solicitor Sylvester ID. Townsend. Jr.
viii appear in the role of counsel for
the city and the remonstrants in the
future.
This is a new move, and it is said
II is a plan adopted to weed out some
of tho alleged Objectionable saloons
IN the city. Heretofore William S.
Prickett, in behalf Of the Law and
Order Society, has appeared in the role
of counsel for the remonstrants. but
the appearance of City Solicitor Town
send practically places him in the po-
sition Of superseding the Law and
Order Society insofar as prosecuting
rclnonstrances against license applica-
tions is concerned.
II is understood that this plan is
agreeable to the Judges Of the State
courts, who have been informed fully
Of the new method that is to be fol-
lowed.

and where disreputable men or women
frequent or there IS disorder will be
opposed by the police department. BY
this method the authorities hope to
accomplish a reform, and It is likely
that some saloons will be discontinued
by this process.

standard required by the navy. From
League Island he sailed with his ship
to many ports of the world, and at the
expiration of his three years returned
to his home a wreck, he having con-
tracted consumption.

months that the young man was con-
fined to his room. Six months ago he
applied for and was granted a pension
of S24 month and the money he re-
ceived this morning was the second in
stalment that he had gotten. When

DEMOCRATS LAUD
JUDGE GRAY

has demonstrated that he has the
great abilities, pure patriotism. wide
sympathies and sound Judgment so
greatly TO be desired In the occupant
of the presidential office For ia years
he was one OF the leaders OF the Demo-
cratic party IN the Senate of the
United States. Since retiring from the
Senate he has filled his high station
on the bench with signal ability In
the meantime his settlement as arbi-
traitor Of various labor disputes has
shown to capitalists and laborers alike
that he is wise and just man.
"He is thoroughly familiar with our
Government, q profound and sympa-
thetic student OF existing social and
industrial conditions, and a great eX-
pounder and defender of our Constitu-
tion. He is sincere Democrat,
grounded In the historical doctrines of
our party conservative 10 preserve the
old landmarks of good government, and

ciples TO new conditions which arise
from time 20 time. No man would fear
that Judge Gray. as President, would
lrashly attempt to tear down anything
which is good in our national life or
to build up anything which is injuri-
Gus.
while Judge Gray lives in one OF
the smallest States Of the Union, his
patriotism is national, not aaGtional.
His candidacy is not urged on account
of his state but because of his cha.ac-
ter and eminent fitness for this pubt.c
service. He lives on the border line
between the North and the South His
communion Of feeling with the people
OF the Southern States was strikngly
shown In his senatorial service, when
he and the late Senator German, OF
Maryland. led the fight against the
force bill.
"The time has come when the Demo-
cratic party needs q national victory.
The welfare of the nation also demands
a Democratic victory. In George Gray
we have a DEMOCRAT In whom all
classes Of our voters and all OF tho
conflicting interests have perfect con-
ddence. The great bodies of wage
earners and the rank and file Of men
engaged In large business enterprises
would alike be glad to accept and sup
port him, knowing that the rights Of
leach and all would be equally protect
ed by him.
'eor the reasons we have indicated
we. his neighbors. knowing his great
attachments, his sound and just judg-
iment his civic courage and his pure
patriotism. commend his name TO the
