Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1907-04-11

The elections in various towns and
cities OF Missouri resulted in a division
Of honors, as party lines figured little
except in the larger cities. There we're
many independent tickets in the field
and often the contests we're settled
merely upon the ground OF personal
friendship. The liquor question was
up in many towns, and here again
there was such a division of victories
that neither the "Wets" nor the "Drys"
could be placed as the victors.
