While the tavern owners throughout Atlantic City were excited that Prohibition could not be implemented in Atlantic City, two groups in Atlantic City also expressed their dissatisfaction with this matter!

The first group is the WCTU in Atlantic City. The reason why this organization was established more than a hundred years ago was to ban alcohol in the United States. Now with great difficulty, this ban has finally been written into the constitution of Atlantic City. Their battle has been won.

.

As a result, Atlantic City actually ignored Prohibition!

Such a result was unbearable for the WCTU in Atlantic City, so they decisively adopted their usual methods.

Parade!

Wearing long skirts that covered their ankles, wearing top hats, and holding banners, these women shouted the slogan "We don't want alcohol, we want prohibition" and walked on the boardwalk of Atlantic City.

Downey, Robert and John, who had just returned to Atlantic City, were sitting at the door of Block Tavern, each holding a bottle of beer, watching the parade with a relaxed expression.

"I just said that these women should not be allowed to have more say. If you don't, this will be the consequences!"

After Robert took a sip of beer, he preached nonchalantly.

John echoed: "Yes, these women should take care of their families and children at home. The Constitution gives them the right to vote, which only fuels their arrogance!"

The two of them chatted with each other, and found that they had similar ideas and views, and immediately clinked glasses happily.

As for the WCTU parade, they thought it was like watching a women's catwalk, but these women were dressed too conservatively, and there was no way to compare with the women in the boarding house next door.

"Donny, will these people become trouble for us in the future?"

In the end, Robert asked Downey with some worry: "If their parade is publicized, it is very likely that the national government will pay attention to the situation in Atlantic City!"

Although each state has a high degree of autonomy within the U.S. Constitution, Prohibition is a prohibition written into the U.S. Constitution after all. If the national government really pays attention to this matter, it will not be a good thing for Atlantic City.

Local things.

Downey took a sip of beer easily, and then smiled: "Don't worry, Atlantic City's decision on prohibition has been out for several days. When have you ever seen this news reported by newspapers in Atlantic City or Philadelphia?

Did the newspaper report it?"

Robert thought for a moment and said with some surprise: "Yes, why haven't I seen this kind of news in the newspaper?"

America is a country of free speech!

If anyone really thinks that, he should go to the hospital to have his head checked to see if he was pinched by a door or kicked by a donkey when he was a child.

Although you can see criticism of American politicians, laws and regulations in many newspapers, if you look carefully for the details, you will see it.

What these newspapers criticize is not politicians or laws and regulations, but their political opponents.

Newspapers are also founded by people. In the United States, as long as you are a person, you have your own political stance, whether you support the Republican Party or the Democratic Party.

Those who support the Republicans criticize the Democrats, and those who support the Democrats criticize the Republicans.

It's that simple.

When did you find that the political stance of this newspaper suddenly changed? In fact, there was only one reason: the owner of this newspaper changed his political stance.

But when the two major political parties decide on something at the same time, this matter will definitely not be criticized.

Although there is room for the Democratic Party to survive in Atlantic City, it is not large. The entire Atlantic City can be said to be the preserve of the Republican Party.

Now that Nucky has convinced the two major party leaders of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in Atlantic City, such reports will naturally not appear!

"It's not us who have to worry about the WCTU, it's Nucky and the others!"

Downey's eyes fell on a woman in the parade who was plainly dressed but could not hide her good figure and delicate appearance.

This woman in her twenties, walking together with those women shouting slogans, gave Downey the feeling that it was like the scene when Tang Bohu shouted "Qiuxiang" when facing the parade in Washington.

Same.

"Nucky?" John asked in confusion: "What does Nucky care about this matter? We don't care about them, so how can Nucky care about them?"

Downey's eyes continued to fall on the woman, and he said without looking back: "Didn't you just say that? The Constitution gives women the right to vote. Since they can vote, then the votes in their hands are what Nucky needs.

Of!"

John seemed to understand and asked: "If that's the case, will Nucky change his decision for them?"

Donnie and Robert shook their heads at the same time. Robert said: "It's impossible. This matter involves the common interests of all the vested interests in Atlantic City. It's impossible for Nucky to give up this decision for these people!"<

/p>

Downey said at this time: "Compared to these women, I am more worried about the situation of the Ku Klux Klan!"

Another group that doesn’t want Atlantic City’s attitude towards Prohibition is the Ku Klux Klan. As a famous non-mainstream party in American history, the KKK is a violent party. Downey will not explore the purpose of the KKK in other places.

But in Atlantic City, this party is a mess, and if they don't do something about this now, it won't be them.

In fact, the Ku Klux Klan had already done something at this time.

"I heard that the Amber Tavern on Chicago Street was smashed yesterday?" Donnie asked Robert.

During his time in Atlantic City, Robert has become the one among the three Downeys who knows the current situation of Atlantic City the most.

Robert nodded and said: "Yes, Lisa told me about this last night. I heard that if Nucky hadn't been the mediator, Will, the owner of the Amber Tavern, would have led people to shoot up the headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan in Atlantic City!"<

/p>

This is why Downey is more worried about the Ku Klux Klan than the WCTU. The WCTU can at most sit in front of your pub to demonstrate, while the KKK really has no scruples and will shoot whenever they say.

"We still have to keep a low profile recently, and we can officially open the door in two days!"

Donnie told Robert and John.

They both nodded at the same time.

Seeing that the parade was about to pass their door, Donnie gestured to Robert: "Did you see that woman?"

Robert followed Downey's eyes and looked at the WCTU parade, and quickly identified the woman Downey was talking about. There was no way, this woman was too conspicuous in this parade!

"You have good taste!" Robert immediately said with eyes shining: "She is definitely the most beautiful and charming among these women. Even Lisa next door can't compare with her!"

Donnie smiled: "Help me investigate this woman's background!"

John said with some dissatisfaction: "Donny, if you want to find a woman, you can find an unmarried woman of similar age. Isn't that woman already married at that age?"

Donnie glanced at John, but before he spoke, Robert had already spoken in advance: "What do you know? Let me tell you, only married women know how to please men. Those unmarried women can't even posture well.

Holding them is like holding a piece of wood, what's the point?"

"Humph, I think you don't know anything!" John patted Robert's head angrily and said, "Unmarried women can be trained. As long as you find them a few more times, the rest is to make them

What kind of posture they put on, they can put on any kind of posture!"

"What if there is no training?" Robert touched his head and resisted helplessly.

Downey didn't pay attention to the argument between the two of them, and focused his attention on the woman who was drifting away again. Downey admitted that the woman was definitely a beautiful woman, but the reason why Downey really wanted to know her was not just

It’s what she looks like.

Of course, Downey noticed her appearance first, and then decided to put his plan on her.

Although the WCTU in Atlantic City played a large role in the Atlantic City prohibition of alcohol, it is undeniable that this group controls more than half of the women's votes in Atlantic City.

As long as Downey wants to make a difference in Atlantic City, he will inevitably participate in the competition for votes in the future.

.

Two days later, Downey's Block Tavern reopened.

"Donny, it's too late for you to open your business now. If you had been in business before, you would have made a lot of money by now!"

Scott came to Bullock's Tavern on a daily basis and activated the taunting skill on Downey!

For nearly two months, taverns throughout Atlantic City were selling like crazy. As a result, during this period, Downey chose to close down. This was a stupid decision in the eyes of many tavern owners.

Downey looked at Scott nonchalantly and asked, "Have you really made any money in the past two months?"

Such a question made Scott stunned. The wine was indeed sold like crazy, but the price in the past two months was much cheaper than before. Coupled with the daily expenses of their tavern and the money provided to Nucky,

There is actually not much money that really falls into the pockets of people like Scott.

No baker's assistant earns more in a month!

"Humph, at least we have gained customers!" Scott said dissatisfied.

Donnie nodded and said, "Then why is my tavern already filled with more than half of the guests?"

Scott looked at the situation in Bullock's Tavern, snorted coldly, and turned around to leave.

Watching Scott leave, Donnie felt proud. Now he is unhappy. He will be truly unhappy when you can't buy wine.

Through conversations with William James, Downey already knows that dealers like them don't have much wine left in their hands. It can be said that now, the entire alcohol in Atlantic City has actually been monopolized by Nucky and others.
p>

Now people like Scott can still live off some of the wine stored in their own tavern. When their stored wine is gone and they want to buy wine, they will find that the money they have earned in the past two months has not even been able to buy wine.

Not enough!

At that time, they could only give up more profits to Nucky and the others, and they were just making hard money from beginning to end!
