a combination would be to bug votes
and elections. and combinations that

MulVey's Little Joke.
Mulvey suggested as an amendment
TO tie resolution offered by Councilman
Fernstrom that the provision for com
mittee of five counciimen be stricken
out and that the matter be referred 10
Tie Democratic committee.
Following Mr.. FernstrOm's speech the
measure was laid over for one week.
Councilman Mark Reedall thought
thar the best interests of the liquor men
could be subserved by strict regulation
OF saloons, ana the elimination Of dives
and favored Mr.. FernstrOm's resolution
10 that extent
Councilman J. W. Mckinney viewed
the resolution in much the same light
as Mr.. Reedall.
4 Political Move.
Councilman l. T.. Hall struck the real
note of the sentiment Of the council
members in declaring that although he
was opposed 10 the existence or any
saloon, yet he thought that the present
measure had been presented at an mop
perfume time
Il believe in fair play" Mr.. Han said,
and want 10 be impartial. and l don't
like 10 be forced into such position
as this. / am against all saloons and
would gladly vOJe 10 have them all
wiped ont. but / can't vote in favor OF
Alr Fernstrom's resolution. Even un-
der the resolution a worse monopoly
would be created. Having only thirty
or forty saloons. would simply mean
the hiring of more bartenders IN these
favored places. You might as we'll say
Gerry stores or meat markets or anything
else in the city.
II am inclined 10 think this is largely
political at this time and for that rea-
son 1 am opposed TO bringing il up.
Some of the papers Of this city have
lately given terrible eNaggerauons TO
affairs. in some Of the papers there
have been pictures supposed 10 be car
rOOns that have been disgrace 10 all
the respectable citizens of the city and
the state. ! shall have TO vote against
this resolution because OF its being in
Opportune with an election in sight"
Councilman W. q. Lyme tried TO end
the matter by moving an adJournme
but Mr. Mulvey wanted the resolution
effectually disposed of.
AR. Fernstrom had a little more eX-
PLANTATION 10 offer in that he "thOught
the greatest burlesque on justice With
in the community had been when they
appointed thirty deputy sheriffs last
month
The resolution. after an hours
Wrangling was quietly laid away on the
motion of Councilman ODonneu that IL
be laid over, and the quickly following
motion of adjournment.
