Show House of Commons Downs Dry Bill London. The house of commons by a vote of 236 to 14, rejected a prohibition bill introduced by Edwin Scrymgemour of Dundee. The Scotch prohibitionist's bill, which was up for a second reading, would have prohibited pro-hibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors except for scientific purposes. One member after another rose and tore the proposal to shreds, .some of the speakers pointing to the United States as a "horrible example" of prohibition. |
