Battle Creek Circular Against Prohibition Tactics
A Battle Creek Marshall business circular opposing local prohibition circulates in Calhoun County. The piece argues the signers misrepresent themselves, labels the liquor lobby un-American, and urges voters to uphold majority rule. It cites Maine Iowa and Kansas as proof of prohibition success and denounces tax revenue from saloons while highlighting social harm and unequal taxation.
