May Push Prohibition in Iowa Before Constitutional Convention
Iowa Anti-Saloon League president H H Abrams says prohibition supporters may push a prohibitory amendment if a constitutional convention is called. He notes changing sentiment among Norwegians and Swedes, reduced county crime where saloons closed, and favors a modified law with dispensation options rather than full prohibition. He plans campaigns in Dickinson and Winneshiek counties and warns the 65 percent rule could move in the next legislature unless action is taken.
