The Mayor, John Doughan, ,Dr. Brothers and Thomas Molloy Named for
 Committee.
UNIT VOTE OF DELEGATION
Eugene Hubbard and Edward Rourke Oppose it, But Are Overwhelmed-Martin
 to Cast the 27 G Votes.

The administration forces controlled everything by large vote at the caucuses of the New Haven deleea- ton to the democratic state conven- ton which was held last night at the Tontine hotel. All the members of the delegation were present when tho mayor called the meeting to order but Senator McGann left the meeting be- fore any of the important matters had been decided. He remained long enough to explain his position in res gard to the Independent caucuses held the night before and upon being in- formed that they were out of the reg uar custom and therefore void he departed.
 Mayor Martin as the first delegate named. presided at the meeting and William J. Cronin. superintendent of streets, was chosen secretary. Sem ator McGann arose and announced that the caucuses held on Thursday night had been held in response to a call from State Secretary Edwin $. Thomas and he read letter from Mir. Thomas under which he had called the meeting at which he was chosen state central committeeman.
 The administration delegates at once assured Senator McGann that 1t had always from time immemorial been the rule of the democratic party to hold the caucuses at general meeting of the delegates and that the meetings that had been held were therefore contrary to rule and to the custom of the party Senator McGann stated that he was there to be con vinced whether the meetings had been right or not and made no protest to the ruling that the meetings had been out of the usual form.
 Apparently the only real contest of tho night occurred on the question of instructing the delegates and voting as a unit instead of individually at the state convention next week. Edward A. Rourke and Eugene R. Hubbard opposed the motion that the instruc- tons of the city convention De adopted and action taken in accordance. They protested vigorously against tying the delegates up, but were defeated on a vote in which they were the only members of the delegations to vota nay. They also opposed the vote to have tho unit vote of the entire dele, gation cast by Mayor Martin as chair( man of the delegation and in favor of delegates to Denver who will vote for Bryan. This leaves the ballot for the entire twenty-seven men in the hands of the mayor in the selection of the entire fourteen delegates which this state will send to Denver and individ- ual protests will be concealed by this vote of the majority.
 The convention resolved into four separate caucuses for the selection of the various representatives represent ing the four senatorial districts in this city. The only unforecasted choice in the state central committeeman was the choice of eX-Alderman Thomas Molloy as the state central committed man from the tenth district from which it was thought Thomas Fitz- simmons was to be sent. The state central committeeman chosen are:

DOES THE SALOON PAY?
And Does Prohibition Prohibit.

| Revenue report shows that 0.000, ,0O(
| worth of liquor went into Kansas each

more than double the population it hen
had, the same department shows that
there is but $1,000, 900 or 20 times less

Of her los counties it is said that "a are

not a single occupant IN the jails. and
last year 81 couutes had not a single

strange about the. fact that this
merchant sold more goods last year
than the year before. We presume
that he thinks that local option
brought the big crop. Such talk is
all rot.
The records do not lie and they
do show that taxes are higher in
Sherman county than before local
option went into effect.
Now in the town of Heppner the
saloons pay $4,000 per year in licen-
ses. If local option carries, the
town will need just as many lights,
just as much water, just as many
sidewalks; in fact the city govern
ment will cost just as much. How
will we get this money. There is
only one way and that is to impose
a tax. To raise this money will in
crease taxation and there is no ar
gument to it.
Not only that, property will de-
crease in value, and when property
decreases in the towns do not think
that it will stop there. 1t will
reach out into the country and farm
lands will slump in values along
with the town property.
