Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 70, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 December 1910 — MINISTERS FAVORABLE TO PETITION SIGNATURE. [ARTICLE]

MINISTERS FAVORABLE TO PETITION SIGNATURE.

At a meeting of the ministers of Rensselaer on last Monday it was decided to recommend the signing of the petition now being circulated against the repeal of the present county option law. Said petition asks the Legislature to leave the county option law as it now stands. The reason assigned for this is that the present law has put thousands of saloons out of business, and if repealed, the question of voting or remonstrating saloons in or out would again be returned to the people. Believing also that the law, as it now stands, is non-partisan, being supported by representatives of all parties. It is hoped that all who are opposed to saloons and favorable to the present law will sign the petition. G. H. CLARKE, Pres. J. P. GREENE, Sec.
