Watson States Local Option Is Republican Policy In Indiana
In a Fort Wayne opening, James E. Watson defending the Republican ticket argues Democratic platforms oppose all sumptuary laws while Republicans have long backed local option. He cites past Indiana planks from 1854 to 1898, Moore and Nicholson laws, and the 1905 Moore reform, urging county unit local option and warning of Democratic efforts to undermine proven restrictions.
