Rev. Wilson Aull, We are to be
congratulated, we have a good
head and tail to our ticket. The
entire ticket is composed of men
who stand for principle, they are
good men to enforce the law. Don't
believe in compromise, be liberal
but stand for priciple, no saloons
and fight it out on that line and if
defeated We can say we stood for
principle; the men selected are men
that will enforce the law putting it
Into full effect They are men
capable OF carrying on business ad-
tvantageously, excellent business
men from business stand point and
so conductive are affairs that i'm
provements will be made and not
come out with deficit. We might
shout now, but would not shout if
we we're working hard to put
saloons in town.
Be courteous and honest with our
opponents and competitors. Let
men know We have good men, the
same as a merchant tells Of the good
things he has through the news
paper. Editor Caldwell called for
and in part said. Am a man with
courage to speak any convictions.
The action of some people is an act
of injustice to me and you folks in
calling me up here. could picture
the misery caused by drink habit
and it's evil, but it is a question as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of carrying no.
license with majority of ten or
twelve, question whether it is
enough. If no license carries how
many will make and sign COM
plant, not one. Buchan said there
was one, If it was not for the money
people would lose they would. If
the law could be infolCed am in
favor of no license but do not believe
it can be and when it can't be we
are building up sentiment of vio-
lation of the law. A man that will
sell liquor will violate the law.
Rev. Thos. Hambly; This meeting
indicates success for no license.
notice many men who are not voting
which indicates honesty, they con-
slider il would not be honorable to
