Brewers and liquor laws and political notes
A Davenport Brewers association push on free liquor is rebuffed by the Democratic state convention committee. The piece critiques the liquor plank and urges enforcement of liquor laws, mentions J. B. Hungerford’s recovery, and comments on Bryan and bank depositors.
