and the liquor purchased on Sunday, has
gone before eight grand juries and evil
dence that could not be disputed was
simply ignored.
witnesses have been threatened and
the lawbreakers have been protected. The
sheriff has always drawn fake jurieS, the
court has mildly charged the lawbreak-
er regarding the excise vic o!ations and
the prosecutor has generously allowed
the evidence to be presented and has per-
mitted the violations until the next term
of court, when the same farce will be
enacted again.
"The county and city officials have
openly declared that they have not tried
and do not intend to try to enforce the
excise laws. Therefore, we earnestly
solicit the help of the people throughout
this state.
I'VE ask you first: To see that the
bishop act which regulates saloons is en-
forced: second. by asking the legislature
to give the governor power to remove
derelict officials from office; third. by
making the power of Your conference
