Ohio to vote on statewide prohibition repeal plan
Ohio faces another statewide prohibition fight as the Ohio Home Rule Association files 142000 signatures to place a constitutional amendment on the fall ballot. The plan would repeal state wide prohibition, restore a license system and local option, and define a non intoxicating beverage as containing not more than 2 percent alcohol. James A. White of the Anti Saloon League argues the wets seek to revive state rights and defy federal law, linking backers to a German American alliance financed by liquor interests.
