Prohibition confronts party split as Major Jones presses enforcement
Major Jones moves to file second offences against liquor-dealers under existing law. Critics call raids by constables selective and oppressive, urging repeal via thorough legal review. The piece links Fenton’s letter rebuking the President to party infighting and looming battles, with clashes anticipated between factions as public opinion heats.
