Now that both of the representa- tives chosen by the voters of Plain- field have said by their vote at Hart- ford, April 7 that the men of this town are able to look after the interests of the town, all hope they will vote for some law to enforce the no-license law which the voters of the town brought to pass in October, 1914.
