The Holy War on Liquor: Illinois Anti-Saloon League Exposed

December 12, 1925 – In a shocking revelation, the Anti-Saloon League of Illinois has been exposed for its ruthless tactics in waging a ‘holy war’ on liquor in the state. Founded by the zealous Bishop Thomas Nicholson, DD LLD of Detroit, the organization has been secretly operating out of 1200 Security Uldg in Chicago, with Ernest H. Cherrington, Editor of The American Issue, at the helm. Cherrington’s publication, a monthly mouthpiece for the league, has been fueling the flames of prohibition, spreading propaganda and lies to sway the public opinion.

But behind the scenes, the league’s State Officers have been embroiled in a web of corruption and deceit. President W.W. Dennett of Rockford, Vice Presidents Alfred T. Capps of Jacksonville and J.D. Metzgar of McLean, Secretary John R. Golden of Decatur, and Treasurer Thomas J. Hoger of Chicago, have all been implicated in a scheme to manipulate the system and impose their will on the people. The league’s headquarters committee, headed by Charles E. Coleman, has been instrumental in orchestrating this campaign of intimidation and coercion.

Their methods have been described as ‘high-handed’ and ‘dictatorial’ by critics, who claim that the league’s zealotry has led to the downfall of countless innocent businessmen and women. The organization’s grip on power has been likened to a ‘regime of terror’, with anyone who dares to oppose them facing reprisal and retribution.

As the people of Illinois struggle to come to terms with the league’s brazen tactics, one thing is clear: the Anti-Saloon League of Illinois has become a force to be reckoned with, and its influence will not be easily shaken. But at what cost? The people demand answers, and the league’s leaders will be held accountable for their actions.

The question on everyone’s lips is: what’s next for the Anti-Saloon League of Illinois? Will they continue to ride roughshod over the people, or will they finally be brought to justice for their misdeeds? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the people will not be silenced.

This exposé is a wake-up call for the people of Illinois, a reminder that the power of the people is stronger than the power of any organization. It’s time to take back our state from the grip of the Anti-Saloon League, and restore the principles of justice and fairness that our forefathers fought and died for.
