Dry Amendment Approved by Ohio Conference Leaders

The draft bans sale and manufacture of intoxicating liquor with limited medical industrial and sacramental uses and sets a February 1919 effective date one year and three months after the election. A second form repealing the home rule amendment was rejected by an overwhelming majority who favored avoiding a double issue for voters.
