TEMPERANCE ORGANIZATION.
The Opponents of the Proposed High
License Law Have an Enthusiastic
Meeting.

over 100 citizens, and a goodly delega-
ton of ladies, met in Pythian Hall We'd
nesday afternoon to organize Caledonia
county to oppose the proposed high
: license law when the referendum comes
on Feb. 3. Eleven towns out OF the IT
in the county were represented and Rep
resentative Gil6llan of Ryegate would
have been here to represent his town had
he received the notice in time.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Stone and organized by electing DR..
l.. w. Hubbard of Lyndon chairman and
Walter Dalton of Hardwick secretary.
The chairman then called on Horace W.
Bailey of Newbury. the Orange county
member of the COMMITTEES OF Fifteen, and
he made rousing ten minute speech
which was frequently interrupted by
applause. He urged the necessity OF i'm
mediate and personal work, the selection
of county committee to be known as
the council OF safety, and the appoint
ment from the floor of the meeting Of
town committees. Mr.. Bailey said per-
sonal work that would get the voters
out at the polls was worth more than
sermons or newspaper editorials or
speeches, but he was glad to ackno Wedge
that everything helped whether from
pulpit, stage or press. He urged that
special effort be made to get business
men interested in holding meetings in
schoolhouses and that each man in every
town be seen and his pledge secured to
vote on Feb. 3.
