their meeting held on Wednes-
day evening, passed the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, by the Viking Club
that it is for the best interests
of Washburn that the city re-
main ''dry" and that it will be
detrimental to the city interests
to have the question up this
spring, and that this club will do
all in its power to defeat the
question should the petition
which is being circulated get the
required number of signers. A
dry city means to many, more
food, more clothes and better
clothes, less headaches and a
clear BRAIN"
The Commercial Club at a
recent meeting unanimously
passed resolution condemning
the circulation of a petition that
will bring the question to a vote
this spring, and the members
pledged themselves to use every
effort to defeat the issue.
