Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 February 1903 — WILL OPPOSE ANY CHANGE. [ARTICLE]

WILL OPPOSE ANY CHANGE.

Representative Wilson came home Saturday and spent Sunday note. ’ Mr. Wilson said, that he would oppose any change in the Nicholson temperance law unless it be a local option law. Local option allows the voter to go into his booth and mark his ballot as he sees fit, and no one knows how he voted unless he chooses to tell By this means the true sentiment of the people is had without the neighborhood quarrels and enmities usually engendered by the remonstrance law. The Democrat editor has always favored the local option law as apparently the best thing attainable to deal with the liquor question, and on one matter at least we are in harmony with Mr. Wilson, if he is correctly quoted. *
