Prohibition Party Nominee Heads West After Tacoma Address
J. Frank Hansly, prohibition party candidate for president, left Friday for Tacoma and Portland after an address at the Metropolitan theatre where he predicted 1,000,000 general election votes for prohibition. Accompanying him on the dry tour are Dr. Ira Landrith, Oliver W. Stewart, and others. He warned that while party success is unlikely, votes could push a prohibition plank into 1920 platforms.
