How Kansas Secured Prohibition
The 1880 Kansas prohibitory amendment arose from liquor interests and temperance forces in a legislative struggle. The House supported a strong restrictive program while the Senate, led by whiskey allies, sidetracked bills and sent a prohibitory amendment resolution to the House. The House accepted it, the Senate failed to recall the bill, and voters approved the amendment in November 1880. The following January the legislature enacted laws enforcing it, prohibiting manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor with narrow medical and scientific allowances.
