Indiana High License Battle Shapes Temperance Politics
The Indiana high license fight exposed party lines and pressure from brewers and saloon interests. Republicans backed the bill in the senate but lost in the house where many Republicans voted against it amid brewer and prohibitionist lobbying. The defeat intensified party conflict and pushed local option debates, with Democrats favoring county action while Republicans supported county local option. Albert Liebers influence and Taft labor stance also appear amid broader temperance and political realignments.
