Political Issues as Seen by an Educator
An educator, self professed Republican, argues that moral issues trump party loyalty in the 1920 election. He compares Republicans and Democrats on banking, the League of Nations, tariffs, economic depressions, and Prohibition, urging Christians to vote against liquor interests and support candidates who will keep America sober. He criticizes Roosevelts stance and endorses submitting Prohibition questions to state conventions while electing anti liquor delegates.
