Prohibition Split Over Constitutional Convention in Kansas
Populist leader Breidenthal opposes resubmitting the prohibition amendment, arguing Kansans favor prohibition and would seek change only through a constitutional convention. He says rural voters favor a state action while city residents seek changes to the current law. Debate centers on whether a convention can shape liquor policy and how elected lawmakers would respond to such a move.
