Prohibitory ordinance lost in Wooster council debate
Wooster City Council failed to pass the prohibitory ordinance by a 3 to 6 vote amid a large turnout of clergy, business leaders and Wooster women. Speeches defended strict regulation of saloons, citing crime, disorder and city welfare, while opponents warned of economic harm and potently urged compromise or purchase-out options.
