Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 November 1906 — LIGHT VOTE IS AGAINST SALOONS. [ARTICLE]

LIGHT VOTE IS AGAINST SALOONS.

Remonstrators Will Be Able to Knock Out Saloon Applicants Much Easier. The light vote cast in Indiana last Tuesday is a bard blow to the saloonists, as it will enable “antis” to successfully remonstrate against applicants for license in many towns that heretofore could not be touched. The number of remonstrators required to defeat a license, of course, must now be based on this elaction, and as an example of what can be done we cite the following towns: Remington now requires only 227 remonstrators, against 292, the number required under the previous election. Union tp., 110, against 182 under former election. Keener tp., 69, against 97 under previous election. Wheatfield, 82, against 120 under previous election. Kankakee, 47, against 74 under previous election. Walker, 62, against 97 under previous election. Barkley, 89, against 158 under previous election.
