"A LETTER FROM THE MINISTERS OF CAMBRIDGE TO ITS CITIZENS CONCERNING THEIR VOTE ON DE CEMBER 12th. "Dear Sir, —At a tqeeiiDg of the minis ters of Cambridge, held November 21st, the undersigned: were .appointed a committee to urge on the attention of our fellow chi »ens their duty concerning the No-License vote. Wo do not think it necessary to offer any argument with regard to the advan tage to Cambridge of the No-License policy. Tho development of the city during the past thirteen years is a sufficient testimony to the wisdom of that policy. Our indus tries have prospered; our Savings Banks Jbavu multiplied their deposits; our poli tics have been free from the strategy of a liquor interest; our educational work has been safeguarded; our charities have been simipltikdi; and. many a home has been delivered from grave temptation. The children of our poor have not in their gene ration had! to pass on their way to school or , home ah open saloon.' We regard the situa-" tion, tliorefore, as beyond the need' of dls-" cussioTJi. It is hardly possible ""that any thoughtful: or observant citizen, without any personal interest involved, could deliberately' vote to change these conditions, and invito to the city a hundred saloons with their inevitable accompaniment of moral tempta tion, political corruption, unproductive ex. penditure, and consequent suffering. We held last year no Union Hall meeting before the election, and we shall hold none this year. The 'No-License poMcy has, we be lieve, outgrown the period of agitation, and has become institutionalised and habitual. The No-vote, if it is sondly cast, gives us * normal majority quite above. risk of ' <shnßjJo. : .. .. •"What wo have to apprehend this year la .not a reaction, of opinion, but indiffer ence and neglect. It is to be an election of exceptionai interest in other respects. A Urge vote will be cast.
