MOROCCO WENT "DRY” BY 83 MAJORITY

Newton County Town Gives Positive Expression Against Reinstatement of Saloons. • ’ Morocco and Beaver township, Newton county, returned a “dry” majority of 83 votes in the option election last Saturday. The claims of the saloon advocates that they would carry the township fell flat. The ministers and the temperance peoflle made a good flight, which Editor Builta, of the Courier, aided in every possible way, and the victory is decisive. Last week a big public meeting a was held in which speakers from Goodland related their experience with saloons after a period of freedom from them. The people were.mighty glad of another chance to put them out of business and did so effectively. It is a calamity for any small town to have saloons and Morocco is to be congratulated on the result of the election.
