Beaver Says Prohibition Is Politically Driven
Gov. Beaver at Philadelphia Academy of Music meeting frames the prohibition issue as a constitutional question, not party politics. He argues crime, disease, and public welfare motivate prohibition and condemns logical limits on prohibiting crime, even if some crimes might not be fully halted. He admits early doubt but supports prohibition as policy for the commonwealth.
