Stark's Committee Drives Prohibition Row In Legislature
In the extra session, the majority anti shipping faction forced the temperance committee to forward three major wine bills to the general judiciary committee No 2. A test vote showed ten more votes for the radical faction, while 18 members were absent and a punitive action against the temperance committee clouded the result. The appropriations bill looms as a central clash with plans to table it, signaling a tense, heated floor battle across the two prohibition camps.
