VICE REPORT STIRS CITY OF LAFAYETTE

Published Findings of Detectives Circulated in Churches and Passed About Streets. Lafayette is having the hottest campaign, in its history, and the republicans and progressives have combined under a citizens’ ticket to defeat Durgan, the mayor for the past eight years. One of the efforts of the citizens’ ticket, headed by Tom Bauer, a progressive last fall, is to show the extent of law violations in Lafayette, and recently two detectives were employed to gather information of the wickedness ,pf the city. They visited the sporting houses, gambling joints, dance halls and saloons that were open after hours and on Sundays and their report was published in pamphlet form and circulated at the churches Sunday and passed about the streets the following day. Its revelations were marvelous. The addresses of the ‘free and easy” places were published and some of the revelries and orgies related depicting a condition that respectable people had no idea sxisted in Lafayette. Ministers used the report as a text Sunday, and Rev. Asher G. Work, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, said: “No churchman need fear that, this church will forfeit the respect of any right thinking person because it had part in this investigation. Its purpose was to lay bare conditions here in order that a healthy* public sentiment may be aroused and that the evils which have been thus exposed may be removed and the city saved from disgrace.” The circular ,is said to have told of women and girls who came from other places and remained for a time at the evil resorts. It also told of one saloon where SSO was placed in a drawer every Saturday night and of a grafter who called for the money every Monday morning. The money is said to have been taken as a toll for a “place” run by the saloon man. Traveling men who have come to Rensselaer from Lafayette during the past two days say that excitement is intense and that Durgan’s administration is being blamed for the moral slump the city has taken. The real cause of the trouble is the licensed saloon which the business men of Lafayette helped to saddle on the town, for fear of a loss in trade. The law makes it possible to remove the saloon and a vote against the sale of liquor is a vote against the accompanying vices. This fact will not relieve Mayor Durgan for permitting the city to degenerate, but if actual good is to ensue from this vice report it must include the removal of the licensed saloon. \
