Harris Defends Rose Law in Ohio Temperance Campaign
Governor Andrew L. Harris opened the Huron county Republican campaign at North Fairfield, centering on temperance. He praised the Rose county local option bill, arguing it lets voters decide whether saloons operate, while noting it is a bipartisan measure endorsed by both parties and not a Republican plot. The speech warned that liquor interests and the Personal Liberty League see the issue as pivotal, and claimed the Democratic platform is silent on the law.
