Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 38, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 December 1906 — THE ANTI-SALOON MEET. [ARTICLE]

THE ANTI-SALOON MEET.

Rev. Cbivington, Prosecutor Graves and Edward Camblin came down from Morocco Tuesday and joined here by Will Simons and Lewis Henry took the train to Goodland to attend a meeting of anti-saloon workers who are endeavoring to organize the four counties of Newton, fasper, Benton and White into an association to fight the saloons, and to direct an effort tor additional temperance legislation. The movement originated in the mind of Dr. Pratt, the well known physician of Goodland, and he was made president of the new organization, with Roy Shepard as secretary. Every town in the four counties was represented excepting Rensselaer, and an earnest and enthusiastic meeting is reported.—Kentland Enterprise. Owing to the great difficulty in reaching Goodland by rail from here and the fact that the meeting was held so close to the holidays when our active workers in this cause are very busy, we are told, Rensselaer sent no representative to this .meeting. But we are informed by prominent antisaloon leaguers here that Dr. Pratt was assured of the hearty approval of the temperance workers here in anything they did in the matter, and Rensselaer would be with them in Bpirit if not in person.
