legit legitimate legitImate uses S for liquor Senator Smoot said aid that the tho Democratic plan would mean that not a single license for tor the sale of ot liquor would be issued in Utah and liquor would not be fur tur furnished furnished for tor a n hospital even een without making one a felon He said that the enforcement of a statewide prohibition prohIbItion prohibition tion law in Salt Lake would be im fin impossible Impossible possible and this would be conceded by any reasonable person I know what such a move would mean he said My Iy father tried to suppress the saloons in Provo when whenn public sentiment was as against it and andI I 1 know of or the hellholes of ot iniquity that sprung up and I know personal personally ly the men and boyS boya who were lured to their destruction through these theBe dives The Democrats say Saloons cannot run without boys bos have you a aboy aboy aboy boy to spare and I want to say flY that these there th dives cannot run without boys and men If Ir the Republican party wins this election In Utah I bavent a doubt but that every evel saloon in the state with the exception of Salt Lake and possibly two tW or three mining camps camJ would be abolished and moreover the saloons in these places whore they the could not be abolished would be under high license and the strictest sort of regulation Do you ou think that a n statewide prohibition law could be enforced in Salt Lake where we have hao an In I famous stockade run with police pro protection pro protection I and where we have haye gambling running under police pollee protection and where even robbers and holdup men are protected by b the police The result re result sult ault of ot statewide prohibition in Salt Lake would be the springing up of 01 dives and hellholes all aU over Salt Lake and I know this as I know that I 1 live Are the sincere in this call for tor statewide prohibition They were wore not sincere at Provo and even their chairman was against it but the roller was run over them and certain promises were made that in induced Induced induced them to put in the plank simply sim simply ply pi as a bid for tOr votes Not tho the holo Truth B n F Grant who is working for tor forthe forthe the Democratic part party says he has haa been following the sale of liquor In Idaho and that It has fallen tallen oft off 96 98 per cent but he does not add that this

recently and there was a man with a sweet milk constitution and a sour apple disposition tion treated his hie audience to a lot of profane history that was WitS moro more pro profane profane fane fano than historical Reply Received Regarding the statement of ot B H II Roberts that no answer had been made maae to the telegram sent to the Utah con congressional congressional gressional delegation two
