"Dry-Law Debate: Clarence Darrow vs. Wayne B. Wheeler" captures a momentous intellectual and legal clash over one of the most divisive issues in American history: Prohibition. This work documents the fiery exchange between Clarence Darrow, the legendary defense attorney and advocate for individual liberty, and Wayne B. Wheeler, the powerful general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League and a primary architect of the Eighteenth Amendment.

As the United States grappled with the social and legal implications of the "dry" movement, these two titans of public discourse met to argue the merits and failures of federally mandated temperance. Darrow brings his characteristic skepticism and focus on personal freedom to the stage, questioning the morality and efficacy of the law, while Wheeler defends the Prohibition movement as a necessary step for national progress and social stability.

This transcript offers a fascinating window into the legal philosophy, political strategy, and cultural tensions of the 1920s. It remains an essential primary source for readers interested in constitutional law, American social history, and the perennial struggle between state regulation and personal choice.
