THE TIDE AGAINST SALOON

J. WaFNSE - fANFNN
THE TIDE AGAINST SALOON
Edward w. Mills. State chairman OF
the Prohibition party of West Virgin
ia, visited the town of Hundred, in
the oil field. on the line Of the B. and
o. railroad, ON Thursday, January 2,
and had very peculiar experience
with quite bunch OF liquor men who
were on the public streets, defending
the saloons. The temperance people
had nominated dry ticket for mayor
and members OF council and were BIT
terly opposed by the saloonkeepers
who had nominated a wet ticket from
top to bottom.
A number OF discussions were in.
jected into the fight by the liquor men
who became very insolvent and an.
noying. Mr.. Mills who happened TO
be on the street took up the issue
for the temperance people and mount
ing flight of steps near store build
ing spoke for one hour and twenty
minutes in scathing arraignment Of
the liquor trsfic.
In a short time after Mr.. Mills be-
gan speaking the boardwalks were
crowded with people in all ranks of
life who came to hear a discussion of
the saloon problem. Saloon keepers,
bar-keepers and their friends endeav.
ored to suppress any discussion of the
question, but Mr.. Mills held his
ground and proved very conclusively
that the liquor traffic instead of help
ing the community always does com.
munity infinite harm and injury. He
showed the people that the bar.keep.
ers were law breakers and simply
lived as parasites upon society. AS
result of this impromptu meeting
the liquor forces were completely
routed. and when the polls were clos
ed at six o'clock that evening the Pro.
hibition people had elected their tick.
ct by a majority OF nearly two to one.
This victory for the temperance peo.
pie will also close the saloons in the
town of Burton, as the two mile limit
act is operative here and includes the
town Of Burton.
