The saloon interests announced In the beginning that they would down the opposition candidate, and an organization not dissimilar to that which brought about the election of Mayor Morehead in this city, lucked by many people of high standing, was responsible for the defeat of Elkins, a man who had served the city faithfully as trustee and had the respect and friendship of every element except the advocates of the "wide open" policy.

Sacramento rereived what she wanted, or what she was willing to accept," comments the Bee, which led the fight against saloon domination. The situation out there seems to have been worse in one respect than that in El Paso. The saloon interests in California axe ten times as bold and open in their defiance of the luwrs and the people as their brothers in El Paso and the state of Texas are. It may be a strong prohibition sentiment through this state that keeps the saloon forces under cover. Whatever it is, we have no such brazenness to face as they have in California cities and towns. Sentiment in El Paso. In common with bentiment in cities throughout the Union, Is not in favor of statutory prohibition. Nor is prohibition a practical remedy for the problems we have to face. Conservative, thinking men, who recognise the evils of permitting the saloon and gambling element to sit in the saddle of government, nevertheless recognize that, for the present at least, the evil of intemperance must be met in some other way than by making the buying and selling of liquor a crime in itself. From a sociological standpoint, the most practical and effective remedies are substitution, gradual elimination of the wont features, and popular education. From an administrative standpoint, the first i steps are to enforce the laws designed to prevent abuse and crime, recognize the difference between a lawless Joint and an orderly saloon and remove the CONTRACT LET ON saloon question from politics as far as WA8ATCH PROPERTY possible, treating it in a business and Mrs. C.
