Liquor Interests Defeated in Chicago


In the aldermanic election in Chicago, April g. it
was demonstrated that the liquor interests be de-
feated when the temperance people stir themselves and
stand together.
Mr. George Pretzel, Christian of high
character was candidate for alderman in the Twenty
sixth ward against Peter Reinberg, the incumbent.
The United Societies demanded that Mr. Pretzel sign
their pledge, which he refused to do. They then
threatened to spend very large OF money to
defeat him.
An old style set 'em up" saloon campaign
conducted for his opponent and the fight waxed hot
The Raveiwood Ministerial Association and the
church forces generally came to the support Of Mr.
Pretzel with substantial definite hard-work
paign.
Mr. Pretze elected by handsome majority
The United Societies defeated. 1t a victory
the shameless dctation and bu1dozing tactics of
the liquor element. Rev. Duncan C. Miner who was
in the fight, points out the lesson:
If ministers and Christian people would do work
like that done in the twentyxth ward by sending circulars
speaking pulpit personal work. there would be
an-sa1oon victories
Exactly. Work will win. The United Societies
largely bluff The rank and file of the people right
and will do right if the way is made plain Earnest
united practical effort will win in Chicago.
