CoLoRA. ND, Oct. 10, 1898,

AS members Of the last House of Delegates
OF Maryland You have had the honor of pre-
senting measures to that body. some OF which
nave become laws and one is now before the
voters OF Cecil county awaiting their sanction
to give 1t the force Of an enactment.
John S. Writ is credited with being the
author or at least the willing agent in pass
ing this last Hotel License law, which he is
now recommending to the people through
the columns OF the Cecil Democrat as being
an Improvement over the present act.
We would therefore rs citizens and voters
| OF this county, especially appointed to bring
out the truth and give that information upon
which an intelligent ballot can be cast, ask
that John s. Writ will at his earliest possible
convenience meet the people upon this issue
and discuss the merits OF 1t with speaker
holding different views upon the question.
To reply that it can be discussed on the
printed page in our county papers is no
answer to our reasonable request. that the
people have the right to ask Of public SER
want, and can only look upon a refusal to
give 1t as tacit admission that he does moi
dare to do it,
The terms of the law, which was iu the
nature OF n contract with the voters OF this
county, have been changed without the re-
quest or petition or even knowledge of the
majority OF citizens most directly interested
BY all means let us have the whole truth
OF this matter fairly given before our intelli
gent people who are to be the judges.
