Dr. J. A. Leatherman of California PA
From the Charleroi Mail Newspaper, Charleroi PA, May 16 1914, page unknown:
DR. J. A. LETHERMAN
California, Pa,
Republican Candidate for Assembly.
To the voters of Washington County:
The paramount feature in the present political campaign is undoubtedly the
temperance question and Local Option in my opinion is the solution. This
is strictly in harmony with the American principle of self government.
"The People Should Rule"
If nominated and elected I will favor the enactment of a Local Option Law
giving the different counties of the state the right to vote on the license
question. Your vote is kindly solicited.
Respectfully, J. A. LETHERMAN.
