The Greeley tribune., 1908-10-28
STRONG RESOLUTIONS OF CEN.
SURE PASSED AT EVANS.
ENDORSES SAME TICKET
Say Men Who Made Protest Are
Not Party Officials. Have Ne
elected Their Duties For :"
Eight Years. Are Read
From the Party.

The Evans faction of the prohibi-
tion party is superlatively angered
by the conduct of their Greeley
brethren, and have passed resolu-
tions censuring the gentlemen who
profess to be at the head of the
party in Weld county.
The resolutions are signed
by John X. Mallonee, Rev. A. w.
Coffman and Rev. Geo. B. MunnS.
The number of regrets included the
statement that regular Prohibition
ticket had been protested by G. @.
Phillip, H. Candlin and ]. NJ. Cam
eron, purporting to be officials of the
prohibition party of Weld county and
has been for technical reasons pro-
tested and disallowed by the County
Clerk and as there has been no Pro-
hibition ticket on the official ballot
of Weld county for eight years now
past, the laws of the state of Colo
RADIO provide in effect that in the
event that one general election shall
pass without ticket representing
a political party appearing on the
official ballot in any county, such
political party shall not be recog-
mixed as political organization and
as G. G. Phillip, II. Candlin and ].
NJ. Cameron have failed to file any
Prohibition ticket with the proper
officials during four general elections
81 in Weld county and have wholly ne
elected to perform the duties of Off
= cials of the Prohibition party. =
great majority of the Prohibitionists
of Weld county were not aware that
these persons even purported to be
officials of the Prohibition party.
The resolution also states that the
activity of the prohibitionists of Ev-
, ans has resulted in abolishing the
saloons of that town and during all
these years of struggle for the prin-
, ciples of the Prohibition party, they
have in no manner received aid. as
sistance or cooperation either moral
ly or financially from said alleged
officials. except to some extent the
personal efforts of Mr.. Cameron. who
did not claim to act in any official
capacity.
For these reasons it was resolved,
that G. G. Phillip. Fl. Candlin and
j. NJ. Cameron are not and for eight
years last past have not been Off
cials of the Prohibition party and
have no power or autnorltV TO TetTe-
sent or act in behalf of said party.
and that their action in protesting
and procuring the disallowaDce OF
the Prohibition ticket filed with the
County Clerk, was unjust. unwar-
ranted and contrary to the desire
of the Prohibitionist Of Weld county.
1t was the sense of the meeting
that the ticket so disallowed was
the representative ticket of the Pro-
hibitionists of Weld county. and that
inasmuch as it is impossible to elect
nominees OF the Prohibition party
at this election. it was the sense OF
the meeting that the good OF the
party will best be subserved by in
dorsing those nominees of other po-
ltical parties who, in their Judgment
would best promote the cause of tenn
perance in Weld county.
To that end they indorse the fol-
lowing nominees for the respective
county officers, and pledged them
their support
