The Big Lesson from the Local Option
Elections
Elections

One thing stands out prominently in the returns
from the township elections OF April 2-the vital
bearing of law enforcement on the results.
In almost every where strong local option
victories were achieved law enforcement the fac
tor Rockford was the greatest victory-and we are
certain that Rockford went dry because the voters
were made to feel that it would be "dry" in fact.
Last spring the Honorable William W. Bennett,
treasurer of the Ant-Saloon League Of Illinois, was
elected mayor of Rockford. From the time Mayor
Bennett took his seat the saloons in Rockford literally
and truly obeyed the law. Mayor Bennett saw to it
that they did.
On the last Sunday of the campaign at the great
meeting in the opera house Mayor Bennett promised
the Rockford voters that if Rockford went dry, it
would be dry" And they knew it would be
They had seen Mr.. Bennett enforce the law with sa
looms and they knew he would do he said. They
knew that if Rockford went "dry" it would be dry

other statute The intensity of feeling on the liquor
question and the desperate fighting of the liquor in
