Congress members who were anti-prohibition, and a few prohibitionists, want to put prohibition to a direct vote.

Anti-Prohibitionists Muster Unexpected Strength in Fist Test Vote in 12 years…..Anti-prohibitonists today lost their motion to bring the Beck-Linthicum resolution before the House but mustered the unexpected strength of 187 votes in the first clear cut test on prohibition in 12 years."
