Hurley Not Worse Than Other Wisconsin Cities
Wisconsin prohibition commissioner Herman W. Lachtin says Hurley’s moral conditions are not worse than Milwaukee or Green Bay, cites nearly 50 arrests in the last year and federal indictments of a deputy sheriff, and argues Detroit’s depiction was exaggerated. He notes Hurley’s mixed Finny and Italian population and that enforcement relies on raids, with broader state and national context supporting Wisconsin’s prohibition efforts.
