| Advertisement Text | The public thinks it is only heavy drinking that harms. Experiments show that even moderate drinking hurts health, lessens efficiency...Alcohol is responsible for much of our insanity, much of our poverty, much of our crime...Yet the public says we need the revenue from liquor. The public should know how small is the revenue compared with the costs of carrying the wreckage. |
| Contextual Notes | On November 3, 1914, Washington voters approved a statewide initiative to prohibit the manufacture, sale and transportation of alcoholic beverages by a count of 189, 840 to 171, 208. Prohibition law took effect in Washington state in 1916 - three years before a federal amendment was passed.
