Life of Anti-Saloon Leader Threatened in Bellingham
Three days after arriving to lead the Anti-Saloon League in Washington state, Earnest H. Cherrington receives a letter threatening tar and feathering or killing him if he enters Bellingham and warning that every church there would be dynamited. The letter, tied to enemies of the league in Ingham, shocks local church leaders as Cherrington plans to push local option legislation and statewide redistricting to curb saloons. He notes his Ohio success and outlines a strategy to move saloons from business districts to curb their influence, aiming for a strong local option bill in the next legislative session.
