Prohibition politics and a curious Handcork tale
A Kentucky man hawks hickory brooms at Water Works then praises Handcork with liquor in hand, urging support as revelry erupts. The Maine Prohibition threat looms five thousand votes, while Enquirer notes Republicans’ hoped shifts from Prohibition. Florida's Republicans seek vigilance for a fair November count amid a Solid South dynamic. An alleged kidney cure product by Day's Kipnry Pap is mentioned last.
