Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 November 1902 — ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE. [ARTICLE]

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE.

The movement started by the various churches of Rensselaer several weeks ago to create a more pronounced temperance sentiment here is apparantly bearing some fruit. The movement is under the direction or in connection with the anti-saloon league of this state, and for several Sunday evenings past the ministers have each preached on the temperance subject. Some days ago power of attorney remonstranceStegainst any and all applicants for liquor license in each of the three wards have been circulated by the pastors and they are, we understand, meeting with very good success. The saloons ohßensselaer are now and have been for some years confined to the first ward, but now many are signing the remonstrances in that ward who have heretofore refused to, and the prospects are said to be very good for securing the requisite number of signers to prevent any more licenses being granted in said ward. Eightyfive remonstrators are necessary to knock out applications for licenses in that ward. Why pay 25c for patterns when you can buy the New Idea for 10c. Laßue Bros.
