Apologies for yesterday's technical glitch but.,.here it is...Election Day! Today's election has gotten more attention than some in recent years, but let's hearken back 102 years when the big question was, to local voters, ...wet or dry? In a few years, the question would be moot, when an entire country would have mandated Prohibition until the early '30's. But let's see what the Twin City voters chose....
April 3, 1918, Neenah Daily Times
Menasha's response to the question was more emphatically wet than Neenah's, though "wet" carried the day in that city. Guess Neenah's year of being dry was too much to take. Make of that what you will, but the Neenah newspaper's prediction was inordinately off by a country mile.
