Growth of Temperance Sentiment in New Zealand
At a Wellington meeting of the executive of the New Zealand Alliance, Hon. R McNab spoke on the rapid growth of temperance sentiment. He recalled his 1893 candidacy and noted that educated voters now accept temperance men in public life. He cited Mataura and Clutha as showing improved trade and travel conditions under No License, with local hotels expanding and eating houses increasing. A wholesale merchant in Gore described how business now runs smoothly after four o'clock, unlike under license. McNab argued the trend reduces evasion of the law and that Mataura’s population growth indicates broader social change.
