W C T U responds to Nomad on liquor law debates
Katherine B Patterson of the W C T U Legislative Department argues the organization has always stated its beliefs and methods, defends prohibition, and calls for lawful repeal only by majority vote. She cites Congress actions, petitions, and 46 states ratifying the 18th Amendment, urging fair media coverage and voter education. She notes persistent bias in big dailies and magazines toward repeal.
