(Advertisement)
A number of questions will be
before you for consideration
next Monday. The one that is
most vitally connected with the
moral, financial and political life
of the citizenship of the county,
is the license question. The
above statement goes without 1
argument. I just want to call
your attention to a few facts:
1. Newport is dry under the |
Going law.
2- Not over one-third of the
actual adult white inhabitants
signed the petition.
3. The people of Newport are
well pleased with the saloons
: away.
4. Newport is not dead.
5. The lights did not go out
as the liquor people told the un
informed they would do.
6. More substantial buildings
have gone up this year than in
four or five years.
7. There were more blind ti- I
gers during 1913 than 1914. \
8. If the county should vote |
wet, only Newport would dream j
of selling liquor, and that would 1
be a faint dream. |
9. If liquor is sold: I
(a) The county will have to |
vote wet.
(b) Newport will have to vote j
wet.
(c) A majority of the white I
adult inhabitants of Newport I
will have to sign a petition that j
is to be published, asking that j
this privilege be granted to cer- |
tain parties.
This cannot be done- So Jack- !
son county wil have no saloons, j
But why agitate the subject? It |
is this: Vote it out and save a
