Political currents shape battles in April voting
Discussions on prohibition and saloons dominate Chicago politics as April polls approach. Notable figures include Congressman B J Hill of Connecticut and Colonel James Hamilton Lewis who steps aside for Chicago’s Democratic mayoralty race in two years. Kentucky, with 119 counties, enforces liquor bans in most areas while Texas eyes a constitutional prohibition amendment. Massachusetts focuses on liquor laws and state spending, Maine’s Governor Fernald is the first farmer to hold the post in the Pine Tree State. William D Bynum’s career fades after leaving Congress, La Follette considers J Herbert Quick for a weekly paper managing editorship. Quick, ex-Sioux City mayor, writes novels. South Dakota’s session promises a two cent railroad fare, county option bill, primary law changes, and a state immigration bureau. George T Oliver, potential Knox successor in Pennsylvania, runs three Pittsburg newspapers, has deep steel fortune ties, and raised substantial funds for the GOP.
