Mr. Johnson Lecture Promotes Prohibitory Law Rally
The Temperance friends heard S P Johnson argue strongly for a Prohibitory Law at the Court House on Wednesday evening. The speech was well prepared and forceful, condemning the current liquor traffic and urging voters in Warren County to hear it. The report notes Sunbury and Erie railroad engineers will survey river sides, with $30 000 at stake, and mentions new desks for the Academy. Returns from Vermont show a large Prohibitory liquor law majority, tougher than the Maine Law. The Warren Lyceum’s next meeting at the Court House will discuss Cuba annexation benefits to the United States.
