With intense interest in the license
question being shown in practically
every city and town in South Dakota
in the spring election yesterday, the
temperance forces are claiming one
of the greatest victories in the his
tory of their fight against saloons.
According to figures in the state
headquarters of the South Dakota
Anti-Saloon league in Mitchell, about
sixteen municipalities have been add
ed to the dry" column. Although
3S additional We're put in the arid
belt in the election in 1914, it IS
claimed that this years victories are
more important because of the size
of the cities involved
Aberdeen Probably Dry.
Two of the three largest cities in
South Dakota, Aberdeen and Nit
chell yesterday voted to swing into
the dry" column. The local fight
resulted in a majority of 102 votes
against license, while at Aberdeen
the campaign finished in dead
heat" both sides casting a strength
OF 1885 votes. Inasmuch as the
statute requires majority vote to
license saloons, the vote will make
July l.
Reports received by The Republi-
can this afternoon from Aberdeen are
to the effect that the license faction
is planning to carry the matter to the
courts, in an effort to throw out votes
for the temperance cause. 1t was
thought that the issue would be
started late this afternoon.
Augurs Statewide Prohibition.
In my judgment" declared II. n.
Holsaple, superintendent of the Anti
Saloon yeague. yesterdays vote Is
an indication of the sentiment for
statewide prohibition in 1916. We
have gained 16 towns, from reports
thus far received, and have lost one
Salem. Very material gains were
made in the voting everywhere. We
have cut down the majorities in the
wet" towns and increased the vote
in the cities without saloons.
There are several towns voting
for license today, notably Wolsey and
Faith, where we are going into court
and oppose the granting of licenses
on the ground that the petitions OF
the free-holders were insufficient
We will attack the saloon forces all
