Senate Drys’ Loose Interpretation of Loyalty to Prohibition Laws Raises Eyebrows

In a shocking move, the Senate’s dry subcommittee has given a liberal interpretation to the loyalty to prohibition laws requirement for appointees to official positions. The case in point is Jacob Walters, a Connecticut marshal who was questioned about his drinking habits by the Senate’s dry subcommittee. Walters, a staunch supporter of the Prohibition laws, was asked whether he drank three cocktails. In a classic yes-and-no response, he dodged the question, leaving the subcommittee to ponder his true allegiance to the dry laws.
