Object Details

This 1922 palm card mentions Congressman Stalker's supporters—“dry” organizations. The New York Representative won their support thanks to his bill that proposed stricter penalties on liquor law violators. His position proved more extreme than that of the Coolidge administration; the President himself stated his doubts that breaking liquor laws warranted such harsh penalties.
