Berry's Record and Prohibition politics noted
Gazette Times editors call William H Berry a political turncoat with a record of switching parties from Democrat to Prohibition to Keystone and back. The piece cites his 1888 state treasurer bid, 1905 Chester mayoral term, 1906 bid, and 1910 governor pursuit, labeling him eloquent yet vanity driven and untrustworthy. It contrasts Berry with warnings of utility to his own ends and adds a sobering Blanche Critzer tragedy tale on temptation, danger, and fatal illness.
