PASTOR AGAINST SALOONS OPEN

Stratford. June 15-Ernest c. Car Denter. pastor of Stratford M- E. church, has addressed an appeal to the citizens of the town, asking them to furm out Friday, to meet the 12 o'clock opening movement. His appeal is as 10lIows:
 several months ago the saloon keepers and their friends called a spe- cfa1 town meeting to see if the town would allow them to keep open until 12 AaN1nnk instead of II, at present. The aest was denied by a large majority.
 Now they have had a straight re- quest placed in the warning of the town meeting for next Friday night. This should be defeated as decisively as the other was.
 Some have sought to give the inn prsssson that the saloons of StTatford are denied some of their rights by be- Ing compelled to close at II.

A least six of them have been in the past persistent violators of the law. Several of the keepers of saloons have been repeatedly fined. Two of them have lost their licenses and another has been forced out of business.
