Temperance Officer**,
Just now there is soma excitement
relating to temperance matters, and
those engaged iu it arc considering
bow best to advance the work. Town
meeting being close at hand there is
a natural desire to use the ballot in
aid of the cause, and temperance men
feel that they should vote only unknown temperance men for office.
Somefewdesiretoiiominateastraight
temperance ticket, while others deem
it- best to select from the tickets nominated by the regular parties and endeavor to secure their election. In
this connection it is well to remember that few towns have better officers
than has thus, nearly everyone of
whom is a temporance man. The supervisor, town-clerk, treasurer, the
four justices, aud all the school officers. This is a Rood showing, and it
seems as if there was no cause for
complaint in this direction.
