No reasons are given in the protest. “I do not think this is the proper way to do away with saloons. It should be done in the slow way of education.”Rev. Hunter of West Berkeley stated that the protest was in fact pointless, but he would state reasons. There is a growing sentiment in West Berkely against saloons.

Everybody Jigs to pass the saloon to go to the rqfli^ad station without they make a detour of some distance. I have been Spoken to by men at the saloon while passing by but I do not care for that. I think if it were located somewhgre’s out of the way there would not be so much objection.
