especially significant
In November, 1914. the city voted
wet by a majority OF 1856. but the
State vote made Denver dry. The
months under pro hlbition found a re-
version Of sentiment and the beer
amendment which was an opening
wedge for the restoration Of a wet
city, was defeated by 1865 votes. II
showed conclusively that Denver Is
pleased with prohibition
