TO PEOPLE
OF ROSWELL

We beg to call your attention to
the fact that the campaign is on; the
spring election, al which the question
Of the resistance of saloon licenses
is to be decided in the personnel OF
the council chosen, will soon De here.
The saloon having no right to exist
does SO solely ecaus h people SO
elect. We regard u saloon as an en-
envy to true progress in many way
Il is a to our homes, a detri-
ment to our schools, a drain upon le-
climate business, a destroyer of good
morals and a poison in the social
life of our city. OF these things We
are firmly convinced and We believe
that a large majority of the citizens
II Roswell are in accord with these
sentiments.
We furtner Deneve that a majority
ihouid and will decide this question
1. sgally by electing counciEnen pledg-
ed to a ~no-licelse policy.
With malice towards nole and with
20 stones to tnrow at the present
council and with due regard for every
interest of our city we enter upon
this campaign with zeal for a better,
A cleaner and a greater Roswell.
In pursuance of his desire, to give
notice that there will be a n~o-license
ticket in the field and to focus public
sentiment, we the undersigned chair
man and secretary of a committee Sc
lected at a meeting of citizens helG on
Tuesday night February Sth, do here
ny invite the active cooperation of all
men wao believe in civic righteous
ness, the wives and mothers, who are
the greatest sufferers from this traf-
fic, the churches and all organizations
which have as their aim the better
men of society to The end tnat his
burning question may be settled right
Let rs work, organize and agitate un-
til every voter is aroused to the needs
Of the hour and the highest and best
interests of our city.
There has been a committee ap-
pointed 10 orange for a series of pub
lie meetings, announcement of which
will be made at once and it is hoped
that all citizens wno are interested in
this matter will be on the lookout for
these announcements as they appear
in the paper from time to time until
the day of election and will be on
hand to help in the work.

Chairman.

A prominent Democrat OF Roswe

A prominent Democrat OF Roswell
tells us that he is opposed TO the Rec
iord's efurts to have the Democratic
party of Roswell declare against the
saloon. He also ANNOUNCES that he
is in favor of a dry" Roswell, and
that ne is n Democrat. Yet this same
! nan refuses 20 admit the absurdity
of his position. He sfayors prohibit
ton. yet refuses to work for it; he
Is a Democrat yet refuses to advo-
cate the enfoceme1t of the founda-
ton principle of the Democratic par
ty. submission of vital issues to the
vote OF the people. Certainly a strange
attitude.

the leaders of the Democratic party
N Roswell will show by their actions
that they are afraid to carry out the
win of the people in the saloon mat
ter. Yet by opposing the submission
of this question to the vote of the
people at the regular election that is
Just hat they will do. We also dc
not believe that the Democrats OF
Roswell will permit a half dozen or
more men to settle this vital question
without their consent and against
their wishes.

A Cooperative Cheese f. story.

Editor Index: -During a recen
visit to your city | learned that an
entirely erroneous idea prevailed
regarding the proposed cheese fac
tory proposition. Briefly stated. the
| idea is to unite the entire Payette
valley in one cooperative company
TO operate the cheese business. to
build and equip branch factories at
different points, to store the pro-
ducts at the New Plymouth cold stor-
age and all TO cooperate with the
Cooperative Creamery Co.of Cald-
well in the matter OF sales.
The handIcaps under which the
present management has worked
are small output and lack OF selling
facilities Under the proposed plan
both difficulties would be removed
and we can see nothing but success
for the undertaking. We are sure
the matter is OF sufficient import
ance that all farmers whether they |
keep COWS or not. all merchants,
anee that all farmers whether they
