Monon News Strongly Against Return of Saloons There.

Some of those in Monon who are always thirsting for liquor have gotten up some talk about starting a petition to hold an election but as long as the Monon News and Editor Huff have anything to say, the wets will be badly defeated. The editor comes out strongly for the drys and future prosperity. He has the following to say: “The News stands unequivocally for the best interests of society, tb3 church, the school and the home. If those who desire the saloon returned to Monon can convince us that such a move will benefit the institutions named, our columns will be freely opened to the advocacy of saloons. As we see it now, no greater blight could be fastened on the community than the return of such an institution and therefore we shall negelct no opportunity to defeat its return by honorable means.”
