Anti liquor drive organized to defeat West Virginia referendum
West Virginia anti liquor forces plan a precinct level campaign to beat the liquor by the drink amendment next fall. Rev.

If law enforcement stops illegal whisky sales, Crowson says he would still back the effort even if the election is lost.
