Prohibition Debate and Kansas Reform Under Ingalls
Senator John J. Ingalls argues for prohibition in Kansas, tracing the movement from 1854 to 1889. He notes reduced crime, fewer prisons, rising industry, and demographic growth since the state adopted the prohibitory amendment, contrasting with license advocates and cross-country results. The piece cites Bradford and stockholder committees claiming economic and social gains from prohibition and dismisses high license as ineffective.
