Anti-Saloon League aims for eighty Illinois counties

Springfield reports indicate the Illinois Anti-Saloon League plans votes on liquor in at least eighty counties under local option law ahead of the April 7 1908 election. The league focuses on rural precincts while larger cities may be sought later, with Ernest A. Scrogin touring to assess progress and pressures for major urban battles. Lincoln and nearby towns emerge as likely early fronts, while Chicago and Peoria districts report varied activity and readiness.

Old Santa Claus calls but once a year. Don’t bar the door to keep him out because things have not gone well financially. The good wife and children may need warm clothing shoes for the boys and girls and a few toys for the little ones. Make up your mind to give them.
