One Vote at a Time on Prohibition in Rivers
The Rivers Gazette urges a straight one question referendum on liquor sales with a clear majority choice between total prohibition and beverage sales. It warns against multiple questions and urges postponing beer and wine licenses until the public speaks on the core issue. The piece cites Winnipeg Tribune and notes events including a Whist Drive at the Sons of England hall and church services by Rev J A Cormie in early February.
