Prohibition Record of Thomason and Neff in 1916 vote
In the 1916 Democratic primary the statewide prohibition amendment was approved by a majority. Thomason opposed submission in the House aiding anti prohibitionists and the measure failed by two votes. A second instruction from the people in 1918 led to adoption. Neff led Mc Lennan County Prohibition forces into the dry column. Local notices mention visitors and sales of a medicinal product.
