Will Fight to Keep City Dry in Temperance Campaign
Prominent Mitchell businessmen organize a temperance rally to maintain dry laws. State's Attorney Lauritz Miller cites eight months of police data showing 550 arrests, 393 drunkenness cases, 1211 jail days, and $1603.20 in fines, compared with the previous year’s dry period. He notes liquor-related arrests spiked after the city became dry, and outlines cases tied to various individuals and sources of alcohol. The group argues for continued prohibition amid a strong saloon opposition.
