Des Moines saloons lose fight as petition law blocks vote
Des Moines has become the metropolis without a saloon as liquor interests abandon the fight. The mulet law petitions are deemed invalid if a circulator certifies a signatory who did not sign. Prohibition now appears favored, with the city and state poised for a strict enforcement era. In Washington, Iowa judge Wade’s federal bench appointment faces strong opposition from anti-organization Democrats and possible shifts toward John M. Read and Dan Hamilton. Connolly’s Mint directorship and postmaster spots are cited as potential retaliatory moves by anti-Wade forces.
