A STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC.
To the Citizens of Stafford The
Stafford LAW and Order League wishes
publicly to express its gratitude for
the large degree of cooperation al
ready extended to it, especially by
those who helped the League in the
no license issue But the League
wishes it to be understood clearly that
it is not merely a no-license organi.
zation 1t has larger purpose than
to Danish the saloon; a step taken
only because it seemed to be logically
first in Importance. The League
stands for The promotion and main
tenance of law and order in Stafford,
through the education of public senti-
ment. the enforcement of law by the
proper officials and the appointment
of the best officials obtainable, IRE
speotive of political utilization or
religious faith. The object of the
League is thus stated in Its constitu-
tion: 1.-THE object of this society
will be to promote law and order. all
questions having a political or Sec
tartan bearing being excluded " The
sympathy and support of all good
citizens is earnestly desired. Every
good citizen will be welcomed into
membership. Money to aid in carry.
ing on the work will be gratefully re-
celved. The no-license victory wal
won not by the Law and Order League,
but by the citizen voters who sup
ported its efforts. Similarly all oul
work must be done. Without public
sympathy and support we can dc
nothing. With it we can go forward
towards a law-abiding, prosperous
and reputable community. Wherever
and whenever bad citizens rule, it is
because good citizens are idle. Be-
lieving that we have the endorsement
of all good citizens. we announce oul
intention of keeping at work unre.
mittingly towards the accomplishment
of our purpose.
