The wartime tax shifts trigger a switch from three for a quarter cigars to 10 cent straight with higher store prices. Bars raise drinks five cents, beer remains five cents with smaller glassware. Some venues still serve 10 cent drinks but may move to 15 cents. Cigarettes keep price but packaging counts drop from 20 to 16 or 10 to eight as machinery adjusts.
Frederick W. Mansfield, Democratic candidate for Governor, and his Hale ticket supporters toured eastern and central Cape Cod in two cars, driving over 150 miles from North Dennis to Provincetown. They began in Boston at 7 a.m. and ended at 10 p.m., with plans to resume the campaign the next day.
Mansfield pleads for support of the President and the war government over war Governor McCall. He argues Massachusetts voting for the President's party sustains democracy and war aims, warning Berlin of a defeat as the Kaiser would claim unrest if the President's party loses. He frames the race as a test of democracy and national unity.
