The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1910-11-19

porters are not hesitating to openly
express their disgust with the man and
his methods. He has recently wasted
q lot OF newspaper space in explaining
how it happened i'll Baltimore county,
Md, and New Castle county, Del
all OF which we pass. But when frienu
Anderson gets to going on the Cecil
situation, we feel called UPON to give
him little notice-for the sake OF the
people who might be misled by his
gross Misrepresentation. AS mat
ter OF fact, Mr.. Anderson seems to
take it sorely to heart that Cecil
should have rolled up so handsome
majority for no-license, without any
Corporation" from the League and
he can't seem to get over trying to
explain how it happened. His latest
effort in this direction appears in the
form OF letter to Wilmington daily,
wherein he Gains that the action OF
our local no-license committee in de-
Ginning the cooperation OF the League
raised such storm OF protest that
the committee was compelled" to
commit the campaign to the various
election districts and that these dis
tricts then proceeded to call for the
help of the League All OF which is
highly amusing to folks here at home
who know the situation. AS matter
of TACT, the vote against license was
just simply d peoples movement. Sew
eral subcommittee in several Of the
election districts did good work on
systematic lines and deserve great
rreIit PIT f1,a loc+ or,1,,c;c a.,
only be said that the people took the
matter into their own hands and set
tied it. Representatives from the
Anti-Sa.oon League" did appear in
two or three places in the county and
did the no-iicenSe cause some harm
thereby; but not enough to jeopardize
the final outcome. Now, in all this, we
are not to be understood as opposing
the Anti-Saloon League We have
sympathized with its purpose and been
subscriber to its work. But we are
criticising its present Management, both
in Maryland and in our sister State OF
Delaware. Indeed, we think the large
number OF sincere supporters OF the
League, who want to see it an efficient
organization, are entitled to see it
under different management. The
mere fact that Mr.. Anderson, through
systematic and insistent appeal from
the various pulpits, has been able to
collect large Sums fmoney for the
League, is no evidence that it is ac-
comprising the work for which it is
supported. a prominent member OF
the League in Delaware said to us this
week 1T seems shame that our
League, after spending as much money
as it did, should be SO unwisey man
aged as to do lis more harm than good
i'll our fight for a dry county"
And it is a shame Lots of people
are contributing to the League regu-
larly i'll the sincere belief that they
are thereby helping the no-lcense
cause. And SO they might be, but for
the TACT that unwse and inefficient
Representatives OF the League" insist
on doing it harm. We do not hesitate
to give time and space to this subject
because we know that great many
OF the WHlG'S readers are financially
and otherwise interested in the
League work, and we also know
from personal conversation that many
of them in both Maryland and Dela-
ware are very unhappy over the bun
dering Of Anderson and Arters. If
these gentlemen are looking for
storm ol protest We can Tell them
where to find one or several good,
ing bowling oncs) right in their own
ranks amongst the people OF Cecil
and New Castle.
