A fragmentary editorial argues against Prohibition in Hawaii, warning that strict regulation by capable judges, not total bans, better serves temperance. It cites Bishop Restaric and local figures, notes shifting attitudes among drinkers, and references campaign rhetoric from Woolley Thurston and others, urging a NO vote.
Thurston for Prohibition argues the policy reduces consumption, while opponents cite Internal Revenue figures showing a large nationwide rise in total liquor by the last year as prohibition expands. The piece notes contention over whether prohibition truly lowers alcohol use.
Official records indicate during Prohibition periods beer sales rose by 11 million gallons while spirits climbed by 89 million gallons on the mainland, challenging claims that the policy reduced consumption. The data suggest prohibition did not curb alcohol use.
A heated exchange in the Prohibition campaign accuses rival factions of mixing politics with liquor policy. The note claims organizers push fear of liquor dealers to sway voters, while defenders insist the key issue remains Prohibition and territorial party integrity against factional control.
In a letter to Secretary Motte Smith, Governor Frear pleads for relief as he nears Chicago on his return from the tropics. The message arrives amid discussions about prohibition in the same period.
A fragmentary 19th century piece discusses political factions in Hawaii, describing "Hawaiian-American" figures as steady, centrist players who would oppose attacks on the government and its laws. The text hints at a conservative yet liberal outlook and references strong men shaping the political system.
