NOTICE

The Municipal League of Rock Island
county, which counts among it's mem
bers thousands of citizens not affiliated
with the liquor business, and others OPP
posed to prohibition oppression, had hoped
to carry on the so-called local option con-
troversy in clean and decent manner, to
discuss the issues dispassionately and i'm
personally--in short, in mode worthy Of
American citizens and regrets to perceive
that it was mistaken in the character Of
it's opponents, the prohibitionists.
A campaign of personal abuse and
mudslinging against all who dare to Judge
Of matters in broadminded and liberal
way, interspersed with falsehoods and mis-
representations, has been inaugurated las
shown by the comments on empty"
stores, recently published and protested
against as untrue by the owners and occu-
pants of many of these buildingsl.
The Municipal league and its allies, therefore,
temptiblc warfare is Abandoned though reluctantly
will be compelled to adopt similar and use the
weapons. We will call them and their methods
by their right name, and will lay the disgust which
every decent citizen must feel at their door.
