Morris, candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, declined yesterday to put himself on record in regard to the prohibition question and likewise declined to discuss the rumor that he had pledged himself to certain of his to advocate reference of thesupporters prohibition to the voters before a prohiquestion bition law should become operative Mr. Morris declared "that In reference to prohibition he would stand on his record of the last eight years as a prohibitionist." "Rumors have come to me, of course; but I have had no conversation whatever with any of the other candidates on the Republican ticket for governor In reference to prohibition as a compromise." continued Mr. Morris. "On the other hand I do not desire to make any comment at the present time which could be construed as causing any dissension whatever. Harmony is something which Inwe must be very careful to the Republican party preserve ' now." just "Is it a fact, Mr. Morris, that you have changed your views on the matter or having the legislature enact a prohibition law?" he was asked. "I merely desire to repeat that I am on my record of standing years as a prohibitionist." replied eight Mr. Morris. "The people of the state know where I stand and my record should weigh that I might against any Inference compromise my views on the ' prohibition subject. en"Our last session of acted a prohibition Tawlegislature had not and that measure been vetoed we would have had prohibition in Utah," replied Mr. Morris, when asked if he thought that prohibition would be made effective by legislation. "You know that the last legislature passed a prohibition law," added Mr. Morris, and he chuckled when he said that he had no desire to make a definite discussion of legislative enactment of prohibition laws for at least a day or two. "During the last two days I have been In Utah county and there have I observed that prohibition emphatically has been whipped into a passion," continued Mr. Morris. "I am convinced that the people of the state want prohibition and that their demand for it is more determined than it ever has been. "I want to repeat again that my attitude In reference to prohibition should be judged from my prohibition record of the past eight years. Outside of that I have no new idea to advance on the prohibition question at the present time." Troopers at Fort Douglas Ready for Summons to .
