Prohibition Stance Urged as 1916 State Vote Looms
A Barstow California newspaper urges voters to oppose recall petitions and focus on the statewide liquor question in November 1916. The note warns against local measures and cites fatigue with special elections, urging readers to support a unified state dry effort while reading petitions carefully. The piece blends local political caution with other notes on mining pace, New Year customs, and Christmas wishes.
