Remonstrance Is Held Good After Township Votes “Wet.” - Winamac, Ind., Oct. 3.—Judge Francis J. Vurpillat this morning upheld the remonstrance which had been filed to prevent the issuing of a saloon license in Tippecanoe township. The township voted “wet” in June and a remonstrance was filed to keep out the saloons. The commissioners in August refused the license and the “wets” took the case to the circuit court, charging that they had sufficient withdrawals to invalidate the document. Similar cases have been 'filed in circuit court from the other tow’nships where the commissioners refused to grant licenses because the townships contained less than the required one - thousand inhabitants. R. C. Minton of Indianapolis is conducting the “dry”, campaign.
