OFFICIAL OPINION
All of the stock arguments which were put forth by the liquor interests, for years, have been proved mere theories
that fall to pieces when put under the search light of facts" h. R. Albee. Mayor of Portland, Oregon
"Prohibition has not brought any of the disasters predicted by its enemies, but is daily demonstrating that it is a
good thing" a. V- Fawcett, ivlayor of Tacoma
"One of the best signs of the times is that since Jan. 1st, when this law became effective, there has been a steady
growth of sentiment in its favor. The saloon has gone foi ever from the state, and the time is coming when no
liquor will be shipped into it9 9 g-ov. Lister, Govoner of Washington
"The present arrests would not be 2 per cent of what they were formerly if handled in the same way. All the
liquor sold on permits for any month since Jan. 1st would not equal one~half of one per-cent of what was sold
any month prior to that time. Personally, I voted wet, I've seen enough to know that I am now a dry-—and_
I'm going to stay a dry" Hiram Gill, Mayor of Seattle
