Not Against Referendum Says Dry Prohibition Advocate
At the New York Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church Dr. Clarence True Wilson said he was not opposed to a prohibition referendum every ten years if the people want it. He noted the House vote on referendums, argued crime moves underground with prohibition, and stressed the Board of Temperance work to enlighten preachers. A humorous aside referenced a neighbor’s piano and film question.
