Senate considers DC liquor ban amendment after 1 1916
The Senate debates an amendment to ban manufacture and sale of liquors in the District of Columbia after November 1 1916. Senator Orris Sheppard Texas backs the measure as a vote looms. A move to refer the amendment failed in committee but was recorded as approved. Prohibition opponents may seek a referendum in DC, a path seen as unlikely to succeed. The House is expected to approve whatever the Senate does.
