thus brazenly hurled at them by one
who openly proclaims it as the purpose
of himself and his friends to do as they

Editor Of News-Champion:-
Some time ago there appeared in
your paper an article purportIng %
show that the town of Gunnison should
return to its former policy of the open
saloon. If you will be kind enough 10
open your paper TO me | should like 70
say few words concerning that article
and the matter with which il dealt. In
the first place. it seems to me that the
writer of that strange article and the
people he represented, are adopting the
wrong course IN thus openly defying the
law and the will of majority Of the
people the town. Such open declara-
tions of defiance of law and disregard
of the wish Of the voters as expressed
at the polls, will but tend to widen the
breech between the two factions. The
article was written ostensiblv for the
purpose Of promoting a more harrnoui-
Gus feeling among the people upon this
question, but it has succeeded in defeat
ing its own purpose.
He boasts that ''majorities do not al
ways rule and that he and his friends
