Drying up the capital by a southern drive on prohibition
Washington reports deep gloom as Southern lawmakers push for national prohibition measures. House member E S Candler of Mississippi and Senator Clay of Georgia draft sweeping bans on DC saloons and breweries, while many congress members favor local option or full prohibition via a public vote. The National Rivers and Harbors Convention draws governors and attention to waterways funding, and Southern defections to Bryan’s leadership hint at a brewing revolt within the Democratic Party.
