Prohibition, Hobson Memorials Move House Debate in 1914
A lengthy 1914 Washington Herald account recounts Captain Hobson and Rev Dinwiddie rallying prohibitionists to urge a constitutional amendment banning alcohol. The piece notes volumes of memorials read in the House and Senate committee hearings, contrasting public showmanship with the slow legislative process. The narrative links the 1914 anti saloon movements to broader political maneuvers and a shift in attention from foreign spectacle to domestic reform.
