The story behind the piece
On October 28, 1919, the Senate voted 65 to 20 to override President Wilson's veto of the Volstead Act, a day after the House did the same. The enforcement law that defined "intoxicating" and gave Prohibition its teeth took effect immediately.
This Boise front page ran the news across all eight columns. Look around the page for the rest of a crowded day: King Albert of Belgium thanking Congress, a deadly steamer wreck on Lake Michigan and the first snowstorm of the season.
