Report of PROGRESS.

Report OF Progress.
The Committee of Fifteen held an
important meeting at Burlington
Monday and have issued the follow
ing:
In the declaration of principles
adopted at Montpelier December 10
last, and given to the committee OF
fifteen as the basis of it's action, two
distinct objects were stated: First,
to put forth all possible efforts to Sc
cure "No' majority at the referen-
dun of February 8; and second, to
take the initiative in securing agree
ment upon some form of restrictive
temperance legislation which should
offer wise notifications of the pro
hibitory law and exclude the saloon
legalized for private gain.
In seeking to attain the first OBJ
ject, the committee has done it's ut
most in the time allowed and with
the resources at it's command. At
this, its third meeting. it is able to
report five counties of the State as
having councils of safety organized
at called meetings and made up Of
leaders of town organizations. Or
leans county was thoroughly organ
lied before our work was fairly be
gun. In six counties the work is be.
ing carried on by individual organiz-
ers who have taken the responsibility
for all or portion Of the towns and
in the two remaining counties SINH
lar efforts are to be started at once
In choosing agencies for this work
we have relied first of all upon the
press of Vermont, in whose columns
a vast amount of light has been
thrown upon the iniquitous features
of the license law. We also have in
readiness to meet all demands a va
rietv of literature, some of which has
been prepared expressly for this cam
paign. Supplies of this kind for
Washington, Orange, Windsor and
Windham counties will be furnished
on application to the chairman, c. S.
Emery, Chelsea. Supplies for the re
mainder of the State should be or
dered from the secretary, the Rev. ].
L. Sewall, St. Adams. County or
carnations are in some cases ar
ranging programmes of meetings
with outside speakers. The chief re
lance of the committee, however, for
the remainder of the campaign, is
upon a hand-to hand canvass in ev-
erv district and ward of every town
and city; and to this work it urges
the giving of all possible time and
strength on the part of the largest
possible number of workers. The
reports which have come to us dur
ing the last ten days, including many
admissions from friends of high il
cense, convince us that a substantial
majority of our citizens have already
decided against this new measure;
the present task is to make this ma
.ority as large as possible and see
that every mo" voter reaches the
polls.
AS regards the second object in
view, we think the time has come to
propose a way of attaining it, in
case of the anticipated negative ma
jority. We believe that steps should
be taken for assembling a body of

Petition.
The committee of fifteen, in accept
ing leadership of the movement
against the open saloon for Vermont
took their stand upon the following
statement of principles:
"In urging the defeat of the sub
mitted law we do not commit our
selves to the unqualified approval of
every provision of the prohibitory
law, nor contemplate the indefinite
continuance of present conditions. If
victorious we assert our willingness
to undertake the initiative in pro-
posing such legislation as experience
and study may demonstrate to be
best adapted for promoting the in
terest of true temperance in Yer
mont"
We recognize the unrest conspicu-
Gus in the State concerning the pres
ent law; but we are confident that
the substitution of the legalized sa-
loon as a remedy for existing ills
would be a disastrous mistake. We
therefore believe that the immediate
operation of the new law should be
deferred by "no" majority on Feb
ruary 3, and we hereby unite with
the committee of fifteen, in case of
such negative vote, in requesting his
eXcellency, Gov, ]. G. Mccullough,
acting in an unofficial capacity, TO
name twenty-five or more citizens of
Vermont, representing different sec
tions, interests, political parties and
views on temperance legislation; and
to request them to act as commit
tee of inquiry, with the following
duties: To receive and weigh care
fully any offered expressions of indi-
vidual sentiment among Our inhabi-
tants; to investigate as fully as may
seem eXpedient the principles, meth
DDS and results of restrictive liquor
legislation outside our State; to
formulate any methods of dealing
with the traffic in intoxicants which
may seem to them wise; and to re-
port at their earliest convenience to
his eXcellency, Governor Mccullough
>and to the people of the State
through the press, and recommended
tons for future legislative action.

The enthusiastic meeting at Hyde
Park, last Thursday elected the fact
that Lamoille County is strongly OPP
posed to the proposed liquor law
and that there will be strong
effort made to defeat the PROPOSE
ton. The meeting was made up of
all shades of political beliefs and was
not distinctively a prohibition rally,
but rather a meeting of representa-
tive men Of the county who believe
that the proposed law is not for the
best interests of the people, but for
the personal benefit of the liquor
traffic. They also believe that the
State will not be benefited by legal
izing the sale of liquor and opening
saloons for the allurement of our
young men. This law or any that
opens the way for liquor selling is
what they oppose. Vermont will be
better off without it.

This talk that the liquor selling in
terests are opposing the movement
in favor of a license law in Vermont
is nothing but a bogie. Do you,
gentle reader, know of a single man
who was ever in any way connected
with liquor selling in Vermont who
is for prohibition at the present
time? The only liquor dealers who
want prohibition in Vermont are the
leechers over the New Hampshire and
