Local Option Elections Loom in February and March
Petitions are being circulated by wets in the county seat and by drys in the Hub to trigger local option elections. Fountain county saloons face a two year gap under the Proctor law, with Veedersburg and Covington mulling new votes in March after the 1913 results. Attica votes are planned as soon as February session actions allow, while dry leadership predicts favorable odds due to rising anti-saloons sentiment.
