National Referendum to Repeal Eighteenth Amendment Proposed in House
Representative Andrew of Massachusetts introduced a resolution for a national referendum on repealing the Eighteenth Amendment. The measure suggests seven years for state ratification via conventions and follows influence from Dr. Clarence True Wilson of the Methodist temperance board. The plan, debated by dry leaders in Washington, faces significant opposition among many drys who prefer federal action if wets propose repeal. Andrew argues public opinion is divided on prohibition and only a referendum can settle the issue.
