Moral Amendment Carries in Senate Prohibition Push
July 13 noted a Senate vote favoring Sunday closing tied to World’s Fair funding. Prohibition secured a narrow majority with 26 of 44 supporting liquor bans inside the Exposition grounds, while 14 backed a free Sunday. Widespread politicking and hypocrisy accusations colored the debate as the House fretted over further amendments and funding.

Quay Wins Sunday Closing for Exposition Souvenir Funds
The Senate backed Quay’s Sunday closing condition on the 10 million World’s Columbian Exposition souvenir half dollars with a large majority. Peffer’s liquor prohibition amendment was approved in a separate vote but faced changes and possible defeat on report back to the Senate. The debate included pointed jabs about morality, with West criticizing the hypocrisy of reform urges amid Capitol liquor access.
