Mr H M Stewart Lectures Under Fire for Prohibition Claims
A reader writes to criticize Mr H M Stewart’s lecture on the failures and fallacies of prohibition. He accuses Stewart of misquoting the No-license party and falsely claiming Ashburton faced unemployment first. The letter labels Stewart a paid lecturer for the liquor party and argues his remarks, including alcohol as a poison, lack factual support.
