Senate Votes Down Liquor Monopoly in Texas
In Austin on March 11, a 19 to 8 vote defeated the state liquor monopoly plan tied to prohibition repeal. Senator Joe Hill of Henderson led the measure. Alfred Petsch of Fredericksburg proposed a compromise to allow state control over hard liquor only, while beer and ale sales would stay private. The defeat followed seven days of debate with no immediate compromise, and a special election date of August 24, 7935 suggested by some.
