Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 15, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 June 1911 — ROCHESTER TURNS “WET." [ARTICLE]

ROCHESTER TURNS “WET."

The city of Rochester voted for the return of the licensed saloon at the local option election last week by a majority of 172. “The victory for the licensed saloon,” says the Sentinel, “doubtless results from a general dissatisfaction with conditions as they have existed in this city for the past two years, and the effective work of the Business Men’s League, an organiaztion, which conducted a quiet, but none the less telling, campaign.” The “wets” also scored a victory over in Pulaski county Thursday when Tippecanoe township, in which Monterey .is located, voted “wet” by a majority of 58.
