Prohibition and Suffrage Amendments Advocated for Texas
The piece urges keeping saloons closed and explains four constitutional amendments on the May 24 ballot. It promotes statewide prohibition, women’s suffrage for voters paying a poll tax, aliens and non citizens losing voting rights, governor salary increase, and state loans for home purchases. It frames opponents as John Barleycorn and calls for decisive votes in favor of reform.
