Temperance Banner Waves In Many Towns Since Tuesday.

Elections under the Proctor law were held in seven counties Tuesday, and several cities and townships voted. The result was largely in favor of the “dryß,” which may show a turning point in the sentiment over the state. The “drys” won at Sullivan, Petersburg, Salem, Canton, Campbellsburg, Fredericksburg and Oceola and in several townships. The “wets” won in Fort Branch, but a remonstrance is being circulated that may yet prevent the granting of a license. Many other units, including Wheatfield township, Jasper county, anl Monticello, Monon, and several other White county units, will vote thi3 week.
