Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 January 1906 — THE REMONSTRANCE IS GOOD. [ARTICLE]

THE REMONSTRANCE IS GOOD.

No appeal was taken by the saloon men in the remonstrance matter in the first ward of Rensselaer. The time for snob appeal expired laßt Friday and the fact that none was taken shows that the saloon men admit their defeat and that Rensselaer will be a “dry” town, theoretically, at least, after the expiration of the present licenses next fall, and it is likely that the newly organized Law and Order League will try and see that the theory is pretty well practiced. Conrad Kellner and Henry Hildebrand have both been up in Pulaski county investigating the prospects there, with a view of buying out some saloon keeper there or starting up in business new. They found a saloon that could be bought at Francisville, but did not consider the patronage sufficent to justify either of them in purchasing it.
