any semblance Of the agitation which was
incident to hotly contested campaign.

faction caused by a lack Of fair UNDER
standing Of the sewer matter. BY April.
1907, dissatisfaction will be changed to
deserved appreciation and approval and
the ballots will show the real No License
sentiment, which will be very much larg-
