Maj. Sylvester Says Mr.. Chain Is
Mistaken,

SPOKANE. Wash, September 1.-Eu-
gene W. Chain. prohibition candidate for
the presidency, in a speech delivered here
last night, said that one of the first
things he would do after Inauguration,
should he be elected. would be to clean
up the District of Columbia.
There are few worse cities in the
world he said. There are few with a
viler lot of gambling dens or a worse
tenderloin' section. What is called the
Division is run wide open, almoS. within
sight of the Capitol and the White House.
The last one of the different species of
dens will have to close, even the one pa
tronized almost exclusively by members of
Congress. All are run in violation of
the law and the President has ample
power to act.'
When Maj. Sylvester was asked regard
ing the attack made by Candidate Chain,
he said: 1T is to be regretted that a
gentleman who has been so honored would
let his gun off 'half-cocked' There is not
a gambling house in the District of Co.
lumbia. and persistent warfare on those
suspicious of immortality has reduced
their number to a degree unknown else
where in any large city. Recent testi-
monials in writing from expert special
agents Of the immigration bureau will
verify this fact l am sorry Mr.. Chain
has been so misled.'
