Neal Dow and the temperance movement in Maine
Neal Dow began speaking on temperance at 25 and convinced a fire company to adopt temperance. He influenced the Maine Mechanical Charitable Association to drop wine at its yearly dinner, helped abolish Portland’s 11 and 4 o'clock bell warnings for drink, and spurred employers to continue liquor as a perk. Depew later cited Dow as pivotal to reform. A Paris temperance restaurant proved profitable, and a boy ridiculed a saloon by noting its sign had fallen.
