Iowa Governor Inaugural Speech Attacks Prohibition
Iowa's newly elected governor addressed his inauguration in Des Moines, criticizing prohibition as unenforceable and harmful. He urged practical full legalization with careful licensing, arguing most large cities ignored the law since its birth. He noted vast capital losses and urged measures to keep liquor out of unsuitable hands while broadening legislation beyond any single class. A Sunday sermon by Rev. Scaritt of Chicago on light and faith was highlighted, praising moral clarity and inviting a possible Congregational church call for Scaritt.
