Renew Temperance Fight in Washington County Local Option in 1909
The general temperance committee of Washington County votes to push a local option election for the county in the fall of 1909 not by districts. A petition from one fourth of voters in each district is needed to submit the issue to the county. Rev Edwin T Mowbray chairs the effort, with key backers Rev Jacob C Simon and J W Myers. A mass meeting is planned in Hagerstown with hoped addresses from Governor Hoch of Kansas or Governor Hanby of Indiana at Rosenbaur's. Efforts will also fund temperance speaking tours across the county.
