Scope and content

Article on results of the December 4, 1902 Ontario Liquor Act referendum. The public voted to decide whether the government should usher in an era of prohibition. Bradford, a town heavy with taverns and inns, had churches and the newspaper promoting the vote for prohibition. After the vote on December 4, West Gwillimbury had a majority for prohibition, though the motion did not pass. There was a low voter turnout throughout the province, and despite the majority everywhere, it could not pass. See the Related Description articles for more information on Bradford's perspective.
