A mass meeting at East Main Street Friends church and a high level conference with Republican leaders pressured Representative Ratliff to publicly declare support for the county local option measure. Leaders Haas Bowman warned of consequences if he did not vote with the party. Ratliff then sent a letter to Governor Hanly committing to the bill. Ministers and civic groups lobbied but ministers’ prayers were reportedly less influential. A mass meeting at the church urged county local option, with Rev Shumaker and Senator Kirkman backing the bill. A car trip by six Indiana ministers to Indianapolis was organized, and resolutions supporting local option by counties were adopted. Wade publicly praised Ratliff’s stance, while noting anticipated criticism.
