Notice to Washington Business Men on Prohibition Law
The Washington Mercantile Association urges the District of Columbia Board of Commissioners to oppose any prohibition measure. It argues existing liquor laws are effective, local option suffices, and prohibition would raise crime and harm commerce while surrendering local control to Congress. It cites Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Satterlee in support of local self government.
