ATTITUDE OF REV. {. AHRENS
Remington Minister Corrccts Wrong
ImpressIOn About His Position
on sunday Closing.

In their zeal to enlist the cooperation of
the Board of County Commissioners against
closing saloons on Sunday at Bennington
certain citizens of that place appear to
have taken in vain the name OF Rev. f.
Ahrens, pastor Of the German Lutheran
church OF Bennington. One Bennington
man in writing to County Commissioner
Solomon about the matter assured him that
the sentiment Of the best people OF Ben
nngton was for the open saloon and went
40 far as to say that Rev. DR.. Ahrens had
expressed himself as being i'm favor of open
saloons on Sunday and opposed to the en-
forcoment OF the slocumb law.
The minister declares his friends we're
On error i'm making such a statement He
las asked The Bee to make this statement
for him, wishing only to be clearly under
stood as to his attitude:
Some Of my friends came to me and
asked me what / thought about this mat
ter. and ] merely remarked that the sa-
looms had not bothered me. but I did not
express my approval or disapproval of the
Slocumb law; / did not say l wanted the
saloons kept open or closed on Sunday. My
friends were simply mistaken; they must
have misunderstood me, for l know they
would not knowingly misquote me. My
whole attitude has been to keep my hands
OF this fight. ! regret exceedingly that a
wrong impression Of my views should have
been given out, but Of course | know my
friends did not do il maliciously."
John Borghoff OF Bennington writes TO The
Bee TO say he did not as reported by one
paper say Rev. Mr.. Ahrens had endorsed
the petition for keeping the saloons open
on Sundays.
Il merely stated" says Mr.. Borghoff
that Rev. Mr.. Ahrens had no objection 10
the saloons being open on Sundays"
