Wet counties give hope for stronger crusade
Indianapolis April 8. Anti-saloon league officials vow a more vigorous campaign after a vote split 42 dry to 3 wet counties. They aim to make three fourths of the state dry by May 1 despite recent losses in Cass and Blackford counties. Logansport and Wayne county results are cited as indicators, while petitions are withdrawn in some counties. Judge Wilson in Bloomington enjoins Bedford authorities from closing two saloons, and the supreme court will decide the Burns case on residency. Two local deaths and a murder case in Shoals are noted as side items.
