Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 188, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 August 1913 — Page 1 Advertisements Column 3 [ADVERTISEMENT]

Temperance sentiment grows when saloons are absent. Beaver township and Morocco went “dry” four years ago by a majority of 59. Two years ago the majority was 79. This year it was 83 and it would have been quite a little more had not a number of Greeks been naturalized for the express purpose of voting "wet.” It was hard work to get the saloons out of Rensselaer, but it is quite certain that there are rainy voters now who would support the "dry” cause who would not have done so a half dozen years ago.
