Some of the Measures Suggested by the Republican Temperance Guard.
BOSTON, Dec. 8.—An address to the Republicans of Massachusetts has been issued by the executive committee of the Republican Temperance Guard, appealing for aid in bringing about the following legislation:
A law to forbid all sales of intoxicating liquor to be drunk on the premises where sold, except to those who have resorted to the place for food.
A bill for the better restriction of the transportation and delivery of intoxicating liquors in no-license towns.
A bill to amend the provision in the limitation law, which allows summer resorts to issue special licenses, so that there shall be a special census. There is much need of action to cure the sad defects of the present administration of that law.
A bill providing that a vote for no license shall stand for three years, and that it shall require a three-fifths vote to place a municipality under license.
The address is signed by John D. Long, L. Edwin Dudley, John L. Whiting, Elmer H. Capen, Edward H. Haskell, B. B. Johnson, Frederick Fosdick, David Manning and Francis G. Winslow.
