REV. PfLUG TO LEAD
PROMINENT BUSINESS MEN
AND PASTORS DISCUSS THE
LIQUOR QUESTION AND URGE
TEMPERANCE PEOPLE TO
STAND TOGETHER.

Plymouth will have local option
election. That question was decided
in a big mass meeting held at the
Methodist church Sunday night. A
petition will be presented to the next
board of county commissioners asking
them to fix the date for such an elec-
tlOn.
The new law provides that the
board must call the election within
twenty or not TO exceed thirty days
after their meeting. The Plymouth
election, therefore, will be held not
later than Thursday. April 6, and
may be held as early as Monday,
March 81.
The meeting Sunday night was
largely attended, the church being en-
tirely filed. The audience seemed to
be determined, amens and other ex-
pressions of approval being frequent
and positive. The interest and at
-tentieH at all times was such as to
produce the effect that this was a
meeting for business and no mere
formality which would die ss soon
rs the meeting was over.
Rev. Fraley presided and the
choirs of the Methodist and Presby-
terian churches rendered some fine
music. Rev. Lineberry offered the
opening prayer and in it he prayed
that men would rise above party pre-
judiees and put an end to the saloon
Or If the men would not do it, that
the time would soon comes when the
women would have the right to do
IT.
Rev. C. G.. Baker of the Christian
church was first introduced, and
spoke of better city from moral
point of view. He said the people
felt the injustice of the new liquor
law. The burden Of calling an elec.
tion was put upon the temperance
people who had already borne that
burden once, when it should have
been put upoL the saloons. This dis
pleases us but we must submit TO the
law. To the objection that a city
with well regulated saloons was bet.
ter than one full of blind tigers, Rev
Baker said that neither blind tiger:
nor saloons are necessary. The sa-
looms would not be regulated any

wives and children more than fol
drink, and see to it that we be nt

The Business Side.

Samuel Schloser made a strong
argument on the saloon as a business
proposition. The saloon, he said, is
not business, and he could not see
why any business man should con-
slider it as a business. It is the
greatest enemy OF legitimate business
In the land today. He was not will
ing to put his business on the same
plane with the saloon.
The grocer, the dry goods man.
The clothier other business man
gives something to the people for
their money; but the saloon keeper
takes the money and gives nothing Of
value for it. Therefore the saloon
is not a legitimate business, and a
state has no right to license it at all.
Geo. Fl. Thayer, Jr., made a short
and impressive speech. He had
been born and reared in Plymouth,
had lived here fifty years he said,
and wanted TO spend the rest of his
years in town without saloons. 1t
was a great relief when the saloons
went out. He urged the voters to
stand together and fight the saloon.
The saloon was great economic
waste. The obolition of the liquor
traffic is the way to conserve our
people and is the most important
conservation proposition Of the day

Movement for Election
We want TO start a movement to-
night to keep the saloons from COM
ing back to Plymouth, said Rev.
Plug. The matter of their coming
back has been taken out of our
hands, and if we do nothing they
will come back. The law laws the
burden unjustly on the dry forces but
we will take up that burden and
make the fight. The majority party
said the unit for local option should
be the city and township and not the
county and we must abide by the
rule of the majority. I believe that
a majority of the city will vote for
a dry town.
But even if We do not win, the
fight will be a good moral tonic for
the city, said Mr.. Plug. An election
will make the city better city, for
the question is larger than just that
