SALOONMEN WILL
FIGHT PROHIBITION
Cordova Liquor Dealers’ Association
Does Not Take Kindly To a
Dry Territory.
The Cordova booze peddlers are
worried for fear that the congress of
the United States might pass a pro
hibition law for Alaska and they “re
alize the seriousness of the dry move
ment,” so a circular letter has been
sent to all booze peddlers in the ter
ritory asking them to have the cham
bers of commerce and commercial
clubs send the Alaska delegate reso
lutions favoring the sale of liquor in
order that the delegate may be for
tified against the attack upon the lib
erties of the saloonmen.
The letter is given in full below:
Cordova, Alaska, Dec. 5, 1914.
Dear Sir:
Realizing the seriousness of the
"dry” movement throughout the Unit
ed States and fearing that some at
tempt may be made at Washington
during the session of congress to
force prohibition upon Alaska, we be
lieve it imperative upon those engag
ed in the liquor business in this ter
ritory to co-operate in an effort to
prevent any sucn action.
Taking this view of the matter we
have had our local Chamber of Com
merce pass a resolution requesting
that congress give the residents of
Alaska an opportunity of voting on
this question before any legislation is
enacted. This resolution will be for
warded to Judge Wickersham at
Washington, D. C. We would suggest
that you get busy and have your com
mercial organization take similar ac
tion and have same sent to our dele
gate in congress. By having these
documents in advance it will fortify
him with good material to use in
case the issue is ever raised over
prohibition in Alaska at the nation
al capitol. Yours truly,
CORDOVA LIQUOR DEALERS AS
SOCIATION.
By H. THISTED, President.
E. J. DAVIS, Secretary.

that easterners will travel to the Pa
cific coast in large numbers next
summer.
