depend that he people will do his duty for him. Asso
Citations the principle of the Carson League are be-
ing formed in the principal towns in Connecticut, and
the rumselers like SCOTS coon, ready to come
down" the moment they see the Prohibition gun
pointed at them in earnest. Our worthy and efficient
