[The Temperance (Prohibition) War in Hyde Park and Englewood]

Abendpost, July 28, 1890

The fight between the liberal elements and the temperance reformers to grow into enormous dimensions. Both sides have subscription lists, and the money is stacking up for and against prohibition. The saloonkeepers declare that various breweries have promised their assistance and that surely victory must be theirs, if a million Dollars can do it. Also they threaten to expose the names of all those who preach water in the street but drink Schnapps at home.

The often-mentioned test case of Michael Morrison, who asked the Mayor for a saloon license, will some up in court one of these days.

Several respected citizens have vouched for Morrison's clean, moral record in his application to the Mayor.
