Franklin Hoyt Wins Hearst Prize for Temperance Plan
Franklin Chase Hoyt, presiding justice of the New York City children’s hour, won the $25,000 Hearst prize for the best temperance plan seeking repeal of the Volstead Act and a state controlled timetable for light wines and beer. Second prize went to Brigadier General Albert Clayton Dalton, third to Captain Thomas W. Thorkildsen, and fourth to James B. Quinlin Jr. The judges noted the plans accept the impracticality of repealing the Eighteenth Amendment, prioritizing state control of malt beverages while maintaining prohibition on distilled spirits. The winning entry came from a field of 171,248 plans.
