Halton Vote on Repeal of Scott Act urged by temperance group
A local call to vote on Halton County’s Scott Act repeal warns of a decisive contest on September 9. The temperance campaign urges every voter to cast ballots to end liquor sales, arguing it serves homes, women, workers, churches, and the wheat trade, while challenging liquor interests. It also notes a drop in trans Atlantic travel as cholera spreads in Europe, with cautious links to English cases.
