The General Anti-Saloon League

highest praise to Capt. T. II.
Vanderford for his magnificent
management of our campaign as
head of the Steering Commi tee
and for his able, faithful and
fearless efforts in behalf of prohi.
bition at all times, in all places
and under all circumstances. By
the help of God, under his splen.
did generalship, III campaign was
conducted faultlessly, the opposl-
ton was pressed and beaten every
where and our good old county
lined up for God, temperance and
righteousness.
And, in this connection, the
League deems it proper to add
that not one particle of enmity is
felt toward those who opposed
prohibition in the recent election
but on the contrary, the prohibit
tionists cherish nothing but the
kindest feelings for them. Mem.
bers and friends of the League
unanimously desire to see the
liquor men remain here, putting
their capital and energy into
wholesome enterprise and helping
Salisbury in her forward march
of progress. Our fight has been
against the liquor business, not
the liquor man: we believe the
business wrong but the men are,
III most cases, good fellows who
are personally our friends. Let
them stay in Salisbury and take
up other lines of endeavor, we will
help them build up all we can.
