Prohibition Amendment Nears Ratification Across States
Thirty five states have ratified the national prohibition amendment with five more states voting yes. Anti-Saloon League leaders predict full ratification by Jan 20 1920, making the amendment part of the Constitution and enforcing nationwide prohibition one year after ratification. Congress set wartime prohibition to July 1 1919 and state ratification remains the path to full enforcement.
