North Carolina Votes Dry. 18th Amendment Fate Remains Unclear
North Carolina voters last Tuesday favored prohibition by over 150000, but the 18th Amendment’s fate hinges on wider national results. Utah Pennsylvania and Ohio went wet, bringing the total of wet states to 36, enough to defeat repeal, leaving NC and SC as the remaining dry states. President Roosevelt’s ally Parley discussed recovery plans, while local leaders backed repeal. Turlington Act keeps prohibition in NC, and no special session will undo current laws. Distilleries rush grain to meet demand as national party nights approach, signaling a cautious return to legality without shocking reform.
