The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-07-17

ers of this party should rant and rave
and attempt some kind of revolution.
This is nonsense of the rankest kind.
For instance. Mayor Gaynor Of New
York is a Socialist Mt heart, although he
would not admit 1t. Yet, ] dare say he
considers himself one OF the most con
servatlve executives in America.
Gaynor's Good Work.
To my mind, one of the biggest things
Mayor Gaynor has accomplished is the
abolition of the useless combinations
that eat up the people S money without
doing them any good, ] wish | could
reform the Milwaukee police force the
way Mayor Gaynor has reformed the
New York police force, in fact, Social
ist as | am, Mayor Gaynor has done
many things which | intend to initiate
in my city if / can.
When j get out of the mayors char,
j would rather have ii said of me that
Emil Seide was the children IS friend,
that he had made children happy and
healthful and tried to give them n good
start in life, than | would to be called
the greatest mayor in America.
Some OF His Wants.
| want to see home rule for Milwau-
kce. ] want To see every man, woman
and child protected. ] want to SEQ the
property of every householder and cor
lie officers get decent pay and | want
the city to get every cent that is com
ing TO it. We are not running this city
for any one class of people. The best
man gets the Job with me, no matter
what party ne is affiliated with. One
or INV experts dug mp an old ordinance
which gave the city authority TO en-
force all health ordinances against pub
lie utility companies as well as against
private corporations. The rest was
easy. We Just put policemen around
our barns and would not allow a street
car 10 be taken out until it had been
cleaned out a list Of saloons against
which complaints have been made was
carefully kept. Every arrest has been
recorded, every violation of the state or
city ordinance has been put down.
When the proprictors of these places
have applied for a renewal Of their
respective licenses the license commit
tee has refused TO grant the necessary
permit In this way more. than one
hundred saloons have been closed
This has had a marvellous uplifting
effect on other places where liquor has
been sold and today no &ty in the coun-
try can boast of such orderly saloons as
Milwaukee.
For Personal Liberty.
I believe in personal liberty. 7 be-
Iieve that the saloon, when properly
conducted, is benefit rather than a
detriment. it affords place of amuse:
ment and relaxation from the cares and
worries of everyday life. Here. in
Milwaukee, some Of our saloons furnish
really classic music. Nearly all Of them
furnish cheap and good food. They
may be really called the "poor mans
club"
] want to see Milwaukee and every
other city in America adopt some uni
form style OF opening up new territory
where the people can live and grow
and keep healthy. Ny idea is for The
city to buy all new lands, plat them and
put them on the market. You may think
th:s1s utopian, but | tell you, sir, moth
p ing is more practical.
The city OF Milwaukee is not afraid
of any corporation. no matter how biz
it is and what will get more money
than the street car companies In thu
end? We have 4 lot Of fun making then
clean up their cars and making then
properly heat and ventilate them, bu
we have succeeded and now our stree
cars are no longer gcrm-laden.
