Local Option Fight Sees Senate Push Amid League Attacks
Springfield March 19 Opponents of the local option bill led by the Anti Saloon League predict a heated campaign in the Senate where Browne and supporters seek favorable action on the upper house.

The article surveys definitions, penalties, petition limits, and shifts in provisions as the House debates the Browne substitute amid a flood of new bills this session.
