Senator Noel and State Prohibition Debate
Senator Noel, a leading gubernatorial candidate, discussed liquor policy in Jackson, favoring state or local prohibition depending on public will.

He supported progress in temperance and noted his voting for the state prohibition bill. The piece also covers reactions to Lincoln county whitecap actions and mentions arrests and local residents, including Doc Butler in Illinois and Rev J H Lane moving to Magnolia.
