His character and nature are infinitely above the others in all respects. To his high strung sensitive nature the disgrace of an hours imprisonment was more punishment than twenty years would be to many other men. He has suffered enough and should be given his liberty and a chance to reinstate himself in the community in which he once held an honored place. His bravey on the night of the outbreak at the prison was an act of heroism which few would have had the nerve to perform and ought to be recognized and that Maxwell and one or promptly. two qthers who also assisted the guards In their bloody fight with the escaping prisoners should also be rewarded for their bravery and for the stand they took on the side of law am order.

Warden Dow has, by ill ness for nearly a year, been wholly in capacitated from performing any o the duties of the place, and never even attempts it. The consequence is tha there is practically no fully authorized head to the institution. It has been well known for months that there was a great lack of harmony between Act ing Warden Wright and the other officers. Under such conditions effici ency must be and is greatly impaired Mr. Dow should have resigned months H.

I have examined the qualifications of both and believe from the information which I have gleaned and which I know is reliable, that there are good men on both tickets, but this I will add: I also believe that the set of men selected by the first convention held is inferior to the nominees chosen by the second. I am told by members of my congregation that if one faction succeeds that a man named Sheets is to he selected as chief of the police department. That he is to be chosen because of his intimate acquaintance with, and his ability to handle, the elements which go to make up the sin stained population of Victoria alley and Commercial street. That he has now as an ally a white negro, keeper of a dive where unfortunate women of both races are bartered and sold like cattle in the market. That he runs a saloon where men of his own race are expected to come and spend their money for the poison he dispenses and if they do not he, through his influence with the police, intends to see them driven from the city. I am told he has done such work in the past. I am reliably Informed that if Mr. Knox is elected mayor we are to have a wide open town, as the saying is. That gambling is to be allowed everywhere. That Gods holy day is to be desecrated by the open saloon. That all sorts of vice is to be tolerated, so long as the unfortunates for they are unfortunate, God pity them pay their fines. Many of my ministerial friends have told me they intended joining hands with the movement to elect Mr. Knox and his fellows on the ticket in order that we may get rid of Mormon rule. May God forgive them if they do. I am not one to lend my aid to such a plan. To me the end does not seem to justify the means.. The Mormons 1 |
