The story behind the piece

On August 1, 1917, the Senate passed the Sheppard resolution 65 to 20, sending a national prohibition amendment toward the House and the states. Senators also added a deadline: the states would have to ratify within a set number of years or the amendment would die.

This Philadelphia front page sets the vote beside the war in Europe, a deadly heat wave and the day's baseball box scores. Look for the Phillies and Athletics lines in the sports column.
