 Whether Stafford shall be a license town next year will depend largely upon the efforts of those who prefer that it shall not, which class we believe to be in the majority in the town-a majority of the voters and larger majority of the ,non-voting population. There will be votes for license cast by those who are thereby approbating an evil from which they are large sufferers. Sons of drunk ards, also those already on the road them selves to becoming drunkards, will vote to keep open saloons in the paths of the tempted. But, without these, there is a majority vote in the town against license. Shall it be cast? Or shall the election go by default.
