To the Citizens of Clinton.
During the past two months we have endeavored to furnish the

A present %inner Local Option, Highest medical testimony against the

John at m
Lennon. Treas. of the . American Federation of Libor and
$ otheea.
Itihaave tried to place the matter fait•ly befor,- you. have pub.
lisned onl
t which we believe to ha reliable. We believe the
great 'majority
of voters knows what Local Option means. 3? any
y
are yet in ignorance we would stateit removes the license fron the bars A
and liquor stores in the community, and up to the pressnt, license' • f
:
commisioners have not granted club licenses in Lova! Option districts. j
$The Government will not permit the brewers and distillerto supp•y
malt or spirituous liquors in a Local Option place. It does net pre-
vent the person desirous of keeping h for family .use going to the ueigle.

a boring town and bi inning home a supply. But the penalty is very
severe if any bint is given of its being used publicly. Then a quantity
exceeding- two gallons founcl on the premisee would lead te the sup-
position it was kept for sale, and would be evidepce of the satire It
it is not neeessar y for a sale to be pr oved in such a *ape to complete the
i evidence. In a word, it banishes the bar and its, attendant insanity
and profanity It stops the, treating system, ,gries the inehritite a

$ .
v who says he must have &little ale with his dinner nor the aristocrat
who likes to see the decanter on his sideboard. nor the other sort of in-
dividual who thinks he requires a night cap. The bar is the result of
a the man who is ashamed to dririk at home, 'because his family ktinws
I that he should never touch the stuff at all. So he dodges foto the bar
a room and rillas elbows with the coatidence titian and the Mallof lower

I financial losers by Local Option in the community would be the:license
4 holders and the bar tenders. But .compared with the nileaber of fin-
l'i ancial gainers, the law, while restricting the few, gives greater liber -
and prosperity to the inenY..
