read statement, signed by practically
every business man OF the SIKH dis
trict, endorsing the present liquor law
which they found III no wise detri-
mental to the business welfare oi the
commuhty. A resolution was adopt
ed endorsing the work OF the Anti
Saloon League III Maryland, aud .inyit-
ing 1t to cooperate with the local
| Campaign Committee
On motion OF Rev. F. f. Carpenter,
Rev. J. M. Arters, Delaware agent OF
the Anti-Saloon League, who was
present, spoke briefly.
He said that nothing would please
the liquor interests better than a VIC
tory tor license i'll Cecil county. Two
years ago they had won in the Legis-
lature by decisive margin, but this
year they had but a SENDER margin
They had for the time H.feated
| Statewide LOCAL option and Withdrawn
| 1t from Washington county. They
would next seek to break a link here
in the chain OF Prohibition counties
on the Eastern Shore. The Anti-Sa-
loon League, he said, was deeply in
terested in the Cecil campaign and it's
resources and agencies were at the
| service OF the friends OF Prohibition in
the county. Cecil representatives in
the Legislature had been firm and
! faithful and her pulpits had been loyal
and helpful. What is wanted now IS
an overwhelming victory. Eight years
ago, the majority against license was
so; four years ago, 2o4. So long as the
margin is small the liquor interests
Will not despair OF winning Cecil He
was glad to see present the Nucleus
OF representative organization for
! the coming campaign that would work
! effectively ior not only local but State
wide results
