ton to be held Saturday oct. O. Tho

men:
First Ward n +. Allen

Third Ward A. ". harding
Fourth Ward George PoWclfon.
Fifth Ward D. Challca Smith.
knudsen and PoWclson are members
Of the present council.
Resolutions pledging the nominees
for COuncilmen and the delegates 10 the
city convention 20 prohibition were
PASSED In all the Wards. except the
Third ward, where they were not pre-
scented.
In the Fourth ward high license
and strict regulation resolution I'm OPP
position TO the prohibition resolution
was introduced. but defeated In the
Firth ward considerable opposition to
the prohibition resolution was ex-
pressed but not enough To- defeat il.
The retiring councilman in the Third
ward. II. Miller, was rendered a
vote of thanks by his services in the
council. In this ward in which the
delegation is unpledged. the anti-prohi-
bitionists have about one half OF the
delegates. There is, however, no doubt,
that the convention viii pass a prohibit
ton resolution, as will also the Demo
cratic convention. ia which the second
ward delegation unpledged
The ti-prohibitionlsts. or some OF
them-it Is not known that definite
united action has been taken--say that
II both parties adopt a prohibition plat
FORM they will put a high license and
strict regulation ticket In the field.
Even II they should do that. they will
have 10 elect all the councllmen in or
der TO repeal the prohibition ordinance
already passed. which goes into effect
Jan. l. 1910. for OF the hold-over coun-
cllmeu there are only two who are anti
prohibitionists. that is II prohibition
mayor is elected who, OF course, will
veto "A high license ordinance, and II
would take seven councilmen 60 pass
the high license ordinance over his
veto. II high license mayor is elect
ed. the -prohibitionists could lose
one councilman and still enact a high
license ana strict regulation ordinance.
But as IL Is fairly well demonstrated
that about 30 per cent OF the voters
favor prohibition, there does not seem
to'b much chance for the high license
people 10 succeed under any possible
combination Of circumstances.
