Rights and Liberty League Opposes Prohibition in Freeport
A lengthy argument against local prohibition in Freeport emphasizes the Local Option Act allowances for druggists to sell liquor for medicinal and other purposes without a doctor’s prescription, questions the use of hired speakers, and urges voters to weigh financial and business impacts. It argues prohibition fails to curb drinking and warns of two years of dry conditions if enacted.
