STATE WIDE PROHIBITION
BILL KILLED BY THE HOUSE
The Proposition Was to Submit the
Question to the People for APP.
provaI OF Rejection.

After one of the most acrimonious
debates of the entire session the
lower house OF the legislature killed
the statewide prohibition measure
March l. The margin was close.
The proposition was to submit the
question to the people in the form of
constitutional question. This would
require forty votes or two-thirds Of
the entire membership. 1t received
86, four short Of the required number,
while 10 votes were cast against it.
All Republicans were pledged by
their last state platform to maintain
the present local option law, and it is
argued that this defeated the pro-
posal to submit the amendment.
