Title: A camel got his head in, and then -- !
Creator(s): Pease, Lute, 1869-1963, artist
Date Created/Published: [between 1917 and 1920]
Summary: Cartoon shows a camel (labeled 'National Prohibition Amendment') that has forced its way into a tent (labeled 'U.S.'), crowding out a man (labeled 'Wets'). Probably refers to the dismay of the anti- Prohibitionists who had acquiesced in the passage of the 18th Amendment outlawing the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor in the hope that it would never be ratified by the states. The amendment was passed in 1917 and ratified 14 months later.
