Pauline Sabin and the Prohibition Issue

In 19 29, pauline sabin broke with the republican national committee, despite misgivings over the prohibition issue. Pauline remained in the republican party through the 19 28 presidential election and that pitted californian republican herbert hoover against new york democrat l smith. Hoover had stated while campaigning that he would look into the prohibition issue, but then once he was in office, it was not a priority for him. So instead of investigating prohibition, he appointed george w wickersham to study criminal justice in americas,. precipitated by political favor that he owed to the various dry senators.
