The citixens Of Johnston eebsraAys do NOS
understand why the enforctinent OF the La"
League is engaged In such warfare ON Inc
nrc.enf town council for IL is admitted py the
majority OF citizens that the moral condition
of tho town Is petor at the present time than
Tor many years, and that the council Is IN
the main responsible for the chnnge. for
fbis reason, the stand taken by the league
has not won great many converts The
members Of the League have asked Tor notli'
3ng that has not becn given and IN fact tho
councilmen have done more than has ocen
asked Of them. It'is quite cvident however,
that fhesLeague viii receive na courtesies
from the council as the members do not care
20 be further insulted
The councilmen have also been at disad-
vantage inasmach ss they have had no funds
TO work with, and there is some doubt as 10
whether they viii receive pay for their SER
vices for the past year. These reasons are
quite sufficient 10 cause majority OF the
members to decline TO rnn another year mn
less the 'Good Government" party under
takes to oust them. IL this Is attempted II IS
probabl that the greater part Of the council
will run for no other reason than TO cemon-
strate to the Good Government folk that
the citizens respect and have confidence in
its present council.
