"The twenty years of League activity, therefore, from the time of the birth of the organization in 1893, closed with the Anti-Saloon League putting into operation the machinery for launching the campaign in behalf of a Constitutional Amendment providing for National Prohibition. This campaign was formally launched at the Twenty-Year Jubilee Convention of the Anti-Saloon League of America, which was held at Columbus, Ohio, November 10-13, 1913."
A quote taken from the book, History of the Anti-Saloon League, written by the appointed editor of the organization, Ernest Cherrington. The entire book can be found at http://books.google.com/books?id=l9sXAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q=prohibition&f=false
