Prohibition discourse on 1908 crisis year in Indiana
A Prohibition Party letter to The Herald discusses whether 1908 is a crisis year and argues that only voting the prohibition ticket could dry Indiana by 1909. It criticizes local option, cites legal precedents, and accuses opposing parties of aligning with brewers while urging statewide prohibition through party platform and county option limits.

The Herald editors critique Mr. Pope for arguing against national or statewide prohibition while noting brewers distillers and salooners in Indiana back the Democratic ticket.
