a CARD OF THANKS.

The No License League of Stafford
wishes here to express it's sincere
thanks to the many business men and
other citizens who have so generously
contributed the money necessary to
conduct the campaign. The fact that
the money has been given SO freely,
often without our asking. has en-.
couraged us in our work. We have
used every cent to advantage and
honestly. Not one Citizen of Stafford
has received a cent for his work for
no-lioense. Not single, dollar las
been spent for any unlawful or corrupt
purpose. We have labored day and
night from one motive only, namely,
that we have the welfare of our fell.
low men and the good of our town at
heart. A no-lice nse victory will net
enrich or benefit q single Ole of us,
except as 1t enriohes and benefits all
our citizens through the prosperity it
will perpetuate. We are especially
grateful for the moral support that
has been given us, Knowing the at.
titude of SO many good citizens, know
ing the facts of the past no.lioense
year, we have no fear of the result on
election day. For your assistance
hitherto, and your support then,
again We thank you. .....

The celebrated twenty years of no
license in Cambridge. Mass, the sys-
tenn that converted President Eliot to
no license, the system under which
that city has been free from "speak-

previous records, was made possible
by the vigorous leadership and &C.
operation of the lamented Father
scully. The wonderful no-license
sweep in Massachusetts,, where so
many large cities are no-lioense, is
due to the hearty cooperation of the
Roman Catholic priests with the
Protestant ministers. There is no

Remember These Things Oct. 4.
1. That every saloon keeper and
liquor man will vote Yes
g. That If no-licsnse bonefited
the liquor traffic, that is. caused more
liquor to be sold, as they assert. they
would vote emo
3. That the way to vote against
the liquor men is not to vote with
them. Since they will vote Yes
you must vote "No" if You are against
them.>
4. That the coming voters OF
Stafford have rights as we'll as the
present voters, and those rights are
best protected under no-lioense.
% That the people most affected
by the saloon, the women and tbs
children of Stafford, cannot vote or
the question 1t is the duty of every
good husband, kind father, and con-
siderate Citizen, to vote. NO. to
protect the women and children.
6. That this is not merely local
movement. Our state banished two
hundred saloons last year, and the
United States banished eleven thous.
and. Our state and country have q
right to expect us to keep up the
record.
T. That more than two million
business positions in this country to-
day are closed to any man who
patronizes the saloon. Keep the
saloon out and you will help the boys
and men to keep in - r. -..-
8. That no license is not prohi-
bition, and that arguments against
prohibition are not arguments against
no. license.
g. Finally, that the only reason,
the only one in the wide world, why
the liquor men ask you to vote Eel
license is that THEY will make
MONEY by it, whereas we who ask
you to vote ''No'' have as a reason
our regard for our fellow men and our
pride in our town, state. and country,
