 The record of several years is broken, and Stafford becomes license town again ; only temporarily so, we hope. Apathy brought the result. Everybody knows of the most exasperating instances of it. The vote was light. In the second district only about 170 republican votes were cast. Here the majority for license was 78. In the first district majority of 62 was given for no license, making the net majority for license but 16. Until within few years the 1st district has been the license stronghold, and the 2d the opposite. Ev. erybody knows why the change has come about The mill owners in the north part of the town are most particular in securing steady, temperate class of employees, g course which pays them well in many ways
