Ramsey's Bill Meets Defeat In House Fight Over Reconsideration
The Ramsey bill to designate liquor over 2 percent as intoxicating failed in the House 97 to 94 with a reconsideration attempt by opponents. After votes shifted amid miscounts, the motion to reconsider passed 107 to 82 and Ramsey then sought postponement. Showalter argued the measure conflicts with the Eighteenth Amendment. Palmer cited scientific opinion favoring 2 percent, while others noted potential court action if not passed.
