Prohibition Debate Splits Republicans In Payette
The Citizen and Payette Independent contain a heated exchange over statewide versus local option prohibition. A Republican stance argues for broad local control and warns that a statewide law may provoke widespread violation and contempt for law, while praising local option as a step to order and decency. The column cites strong local sentiment and warns against trading free whisky for broader prohibition. Also noted are reports from California on horse stock introduction to Canyon County and a Grand Opera House concert by Arthur Neville, Edward Perry, and Ruth Ayers.
