RIVERHEAD'S HOT FIGHT
w. C. II. Y. President ont Early
COraI!ing VOterS.

Rtverhead, Long Island. April 2.-The result
Of the license and no-iicense fight here may
not be known until tomorrow. Through a
binding snowstorm this morning Mrs. George
+. Staekpole, wife of former Justice of the
Peace Stackpole, Of Riverhead, passed out of
her home at early hour. Under arm
she had q thick roll. Of posters; under the
other she mad a hammer. Mrs. Stackpole, who
has been fighting against the proposal to Ii
head ever since the Rev. William A. WATSON,
rector OF Grace Episcopal Church, came out In
favor Of license, determil led she would
ire the last gun in the campaign, snow or no
snow. She went busily about from tree to tree
and the merry tap tap of her hammer brought
not few from their breakfast tables to in
Vestigate.
Mrs. Stackpole had eaten her breakfast very
early and left her home before o'clock.
She continued her posting until the snow was
dispelled by the sun Between whites she
stopped all passing voters and asked them to
cast their ballot for the no-ncense ticet. She is
president Of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.

vovating license was responsible for the stirring
up of the entire town over the question OF sell
seen from time 10 time talking quietly with
voters
From the outset the belief has prevailed that
the Rev. Mr. Wesson's letter would cause tho
town 10 go wet" That was the reason for the
activity Of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union members and their husbands. Meetings
We're held letters written by the local
press and personal work was done by the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union members.
The hotel men and saloonkeepers, whose IL
censes were taken away years ago when the
town went dry" have been looking upon the
fight interestedly. The Rev. Mr.. Wasson's con-
tention has been that liquor has been sold with
out legal license just as it with II, and that
license would he EimDlo honesty.
