Prohibition Debate Fails to Pass in Wyoming Legislature
A two hour session in the Wyoming House ended with a vote to table and defeat a plan by Brubaker and Sproul to enact statutory prohibition effective January 1, 1918. Lucas led the opposition, arguing it would bar submission of the issue to voters in November 1918, while Kendall and Kirk spoke for prohibition and temperance. The gallery was crowded as debate grew heated and floor clearances were ordered twice.
