The Free State was all about Prohibition & the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution...
Merry-Land was the 6th State to Ratify the Amendment...
IN fact 22 of 24 Counties voted in FAVOR of Prohibition..?
However Governor Ritchie did not like the State being regulated by FEDS...
So Governor Ritchie simply refuse to enforce it...
He would not authorize 1 dollar or 1 man to enforce Prohibition...
Hence Merry-Land became known as "The Free State"...
BUT that was then & this is now...
We need another Governor Ritchie now, right now...
