Open Letter on Prohibition and Politics in Knox County
The document presents an open letter from a Knox County legislator in 1911 detailing his stance on statewide prohibition and regulation of alcohol. He asserts a pro prohibition record since 1910, cites his voting alignment with prohibition forces, explains a missed vote due to illness, and endorses investigating election fraud to curb ballot-box tampering while defending local integrity.
Eternal vigilance to purify the ballot urged
The speaker warns against any ballot debauchery, cites frauds in poll tax payments and vote counting from the July 22 election, and urges an investigative committee from each legislative house to uncover violations, punish criminals, and amend laws. The speaker believes the cost will be minimal and worthwhile.
