The piece argues against Prohibition, labeling its supporters as traitorous and unmanly while insisting business leaders and moral conservatives in Hawaii oppose the ban. It asserts the weight of moral sentiment is growing against Prohibition and that unsound votes would reveal hidden support for repeal.
A reader letter claims Prohibition fails to kill the booze business, citing court cases in Pittfield and Waterville Maine, an alleged murder after a drunken orgy near Mrs Stevens, and argues against Prohibition while noting Hawaii’s territory plebiscite on Aole No. The piece asserts Prohibition causes more harm than licensed liquor and questions its effectiveness.
