LOCAL OPTION VOTE.
TO THB EDITOR.
Sir,—ln your issue of the 7th Mr. J. P. King, chairman City North Licensing Committee, accuses the unsuccessful temperance candidates of putting the people to unnecessary trouble and expense in taking the local option vote, and I have heard the same story before on the eve of licensing elections. There is a slight error here. It is the traffic in intoxicating liquors which is the cause of much unnecessary trouble and expense—to say nothing of pain, misery, and crime—and if Mr. King wishes to save trouble and expense, he and his friends have only to join our crusade (or, a better one, for the prohibition of the traffic, if he can find it), and he will hasten the time when trouble and expense in connection with this matter will be a thing of the past.—l am, &c, W. J. Macdeemott.
