Speaker Hoyt announced that he I

>r voting for prohibition spread on 4
le minutes as follows: 1
"I voted February 2 against the 1
lotion to strike out the enacting 1
ords of the Rlcliey bill (H-59) and
m in favor of bone dry, air tight 1
rohibition, in accordance with the
xpressed sentiment of the people of '
10 State. My interpretation of the '
sferendum of 1915 is that the ma 4
irity of our people desire prohibi- 1
on; not a law permitting such im- '
ortations as have resulted under the
allon a month law in the last 12
lonths.
"However, I feel that the Riehey
111 as amended aftc* the motion to
like out the enacting words was !
>st, is unreasonably drastic in that '
forbids the citizens from keeping
hiskey in his home, even for medi- f
nal purposes, and to tliat extent '
inconsistent with other provisions 1
i the bill. I vote for the passage oi 1
le bill in the hope and expectation '
nit it will be amended by the sen
e iu these respects." 1
