DANGEROUS INTERFERENCE

people OF Cecil have been waging their
fights heretofore, in their own way,
with their own forces, and have won
two straight victories with increasing
majorities. Our eight straight years
OF local option experience have seem
ed to settle the question in most peo-
pies minds, and it has been quite gen
orally conceded that another victory
would await us next November. But
now comes along the Al ti-Saloon
League and insists on taking hand.
The minute that organization steps i'll,
that minute many of our truest and
most tried temperance workers will
stay out They decline to be hooked
up with the AntiSaloon League, for
reasons into which we need not now
enter. Suffice it to call attention 10
the TACT that our temperance contests
in this county have been, heretofore,
most happily free from any faint OF
partisan politics, while those of us who
have fought bitterly as political OPP
ponents in other matters, have joined
hands cordially in this common cause
In this spirit OF fraternity, and with a
thorough familiarity as to all local
conditions, we have gone on from vic
tory to victory We deplore the pres
pect OF any marring OF this situation.
We do not like to contemplate any
weakening OF our forces If, how
ever, these things shall come, let it be
understood that they come from the
interference OF the Anti Saloon League.
