 Vote 'sNo License'' next Monday and you will be quite likely to be with the majority. Staffordville wants no more saloons. Stafford Hollow claims immu- nifty, no matter how the town votes, but ought not to expect to send all it's toughs to the Springs after their iags, if the Springs, as last year, votes no, and the north part of the town.yes. It was close vote last year, and there seems no reason why there should be any change this year, except towards local prohibition. Plenty of money was sent to Stafford last year by wholesale liquor dealers; it counted in the result. We are not likely to see more expended this; and in any case the man who sells his vote is pretty sure to be on the rum side anyway. Every man who wants the town to go no license may rest assured that: his vote will not be wasted, for there is going to be a strong effort to make that side the winning one, and full vote of the opponents of license in Staf- ford always means a no license year to follow.
