I- The citizens of 8hepherdstown are again called upon to protect the good i name of the town and the loved ones 3 in our homes agahist the temptation-; and insidious influence of the licensed saloon. The law is such as to make the council the sole dictator in this mat.

ter; hence arises the necessity of 9 electing men who we know will not grant license and at the same tune not neglect the other interests of the people. As a result of a publicly called meeting to put a ticket in nomination, the persons selected aud aunounced as the temperance representatives, in this issue of the REGISTER, are pre: aented to the people for their support. No one but those upon whom the duty of making selection fell can ever know the difficulties met with in senting names of available uien to the meeting for ratification. Neither is it to be expected that the standard bearers named would have been the choice of all. This is impossible.

1 But that they are true men and I worthy of the confidence and support i of their fellow citizens none will ques: tion. The best that could be done in the judgment of the friends who took part in the called meeting was honi estiy done anil with special reference to the cause of temperance. We now earnestly appeal to every friend of the cause, and every good I citizen who loves right aud righteousness, to support the full temperance ticket. Let the issue have more weight with you than some one name 1 i.u I nnrl I itlim IIIflT MI.X. not tlie cause we all profess to love I sulTer defeat through lack of inter; est or effort on the part of declared i friends.
