Wayne Wheeler

Wayne Wheeler was an influential American lawyer and politician known for leading the Anti-Saloon League, a powerful organization that fought to eliminate alcohol consumption through prohibition. Active in the early 20th century, Wheeler used strategic lobbying and campaigning to persuade lawmakers and the public, contributing significantly to the 18th Amendment, which banned alcohol in the United States from 1920 to 1933. His efforts helped shape national policy on temperance, although prohibition was eventually repealed. Wheeler’s work exemplifies how organized advocacy can influence major social and legal changes.
