German American Opposes Sunday Saloon Liberalization
In a letter to Truth-Seeker published by the New York Evening Post, a German American argues against Sunday liquor openings. He cites German and American religious and social pressures, endorses a Brooklyn style police enforcement in New York, and predicts voters would reject Sunday saloon openings citywide even if allowed. He praises Mayoral candidate Low and the idea of a disciplined front-door closure with side-door access kept quiet.
