JOIN CIVIC UNION AND
BACK EXCISE BOARD

Judging from the large number OF
votes cast for the Civic Union candi-
da IS tor the Board of Excise Com
m~issioners, 1t is thought by the lead
ers in that organization that there
may be many citizens who would like
to becmo members, or at least
learn more of it's purposes. 1t is
pointed out that the breweries and
liquor interests are strongly organ
tied and are in a position to WELD
a powerful influence. AS the Civic
Union has a majority in the excise
board 1t Is felt that a strong organi-
cation Of citizens should be back of
them. The members of the excise
board will need the moral support of
the people in the work they intend to
do, and there is no better way to give
this support, it is argued, than to
join the Civic Union. To that end
all who are interested in the Civic
Union movement are invited to com
municate with Peter A. Peterson at
Smith and High streets that he may
&c the "ddresses of persons in sym
pathy with the work and know who
to summon for the meetings of the
organization.
