the last attempt to elect six votes were
cast for Captain Breese and five for
Captain Charles a. Mclean. one of
the latter's supporters being absent.
The matter was referred to the Attor-

However, the Governor disagrees with
this view.
The Governor has decided that he

w. A. (Catty) Price, colored. was
fined 800 and placed under $500 Sc
curity for twelve months in Police
Court yesterday morning on charge
Of operating an Objectionable resort at
al North Seventeenth Street.
The arrest of Price grew out OF the
case against Lucinda Davis. who was
arrested on a charge of selling liquor
without a license at the place. She
stated that she was not responsible
for what went on in the house-that
Price was the lessee. Some days ago
officers raided the house and discov-
cred white and negro men drinking
together, but the case against the
woman was dismissed.
Price testified that he rented the
house for the woman. and that he
did not live there. The case was
submitted without argument, and Jus
tice Crutchfeld Immediately rendered
his decision. Price appealed.

While the appointment was pend

Mann might appoint. or course, there
were such men, but the vast majority
of the people wanted Swanson. There
can be no doubt that the Governor
knew this, and did what he thought
was the public Will.
THE Swanson supporters kept
rather quiet, feeling that there was
little doubt OF the appointment OF
their man. Had the Governor named
any one else they would have been
heard from in kick which would
have sounded far and wide.
You Will see that swanson will
