Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Newark Lynching: Its Causes and Results; An Address Delivered by Wayne B. Wheeler, Esq., Superintendent of Ohio and Attorney of the Anti-Saloon League of America, at Westerville, Ohio; November 17, 1910
Mayor Atherton had been elected several times in that city, backed by the law-breaking element, and he gave them official protection. The term used by the law-breakers for this anarchistic arrangement was called a working agreement. By turning to page 27 of the 1910 Brewers' Year Book, you will find a statement to the effect that the liquor dealers, prior to the date when the county voted dry, had a working agreement with the mayor not to enforce certain of the laws and ordinances. In other Words, the liquor dealers admitted that under the regulative system, which was in force before the county option election.
