Prohibition Plank Battles at Republican Convention
Amid noisy galleries the 1940 Republican convention debated a repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Bingham led a minority that urged constitutional repeal while Dickinson praised Hoover era stabilization and the party’s temperance platform. Oregon delegates stayed loyal to prohibiting, despite loud protests as a shift to nominate Hoover for president dominated the late session.
