Prohibition Bill Killed in the Senate
A Cheyenne telephone message reports the prohibition bill in the state senate was defeated by four votes. An identical bill remains in the house, likely meeting the same fate. The move to submit a constitutional amendment for state-wide prohibition starting January 1, 1918, is thus defeated. Wyoming's strong liquor law contributed to the outcome.
