Kansas liquor bills spark Senate debate and House actions
A chaotic session featured a failed prohibition clause by 87 to 18, a near pass with 68 to 37 votes, and party-line opposition.

A pending measure draws support from W. C. Trickett, while House actions included investigations into a furniture vendor and a civil service service method reform. The Capitol debate touched labor, education, and banking topic proposals across both chambers.
