Instead of the cus- toinaryspurt of enthusiasm two weeks before the election, the work was to be thoroughly organized and carried on through the year. 4 The work was to be ly upon` sermons, speeches and prayers, the methods of trained politicians were to denounced, but were to be argued with and converted. 6_ All discussions in regard to total abstinence and third party prohibition were to be studiously avoided the legalized saloon. The battle cry to be, "Down with the saloon !" The campaign opened in June, 1890, and continued till election day, in Dec. when, to -their dismay, the rum-sellers found themselves defeated by 69 votes. A Law Enforcement Association of 800 men was at once formed to strengthen the oicers in enforcing the law. The Associa- tion kept the city informed in regard to the number of raids, seizures, convictions, etc. The infuriated saloonists prepared for a desperate struggle at thenext elec- tion. December 8. .

The Young Men s League interviewed all young men who were to vote for the rst time, swung banners accross the streets, covered the city with placards, and held four rallies addressed by young men. The W.C.T U. held prayer meetings, raised money, and fed the workers on election day. It was a great campaign. Not since the` Civil War has Chelsea been so stirred. The rum sellers fought like hyenas, but in vain. The majority against them was 417. One by one they are silently stealing away. convinced that Chelsea has become a no-license city. And so it has.
