Dangerous temperance pledge movement in Atlantic
Miss Jones of Des Moines organized a temperance movement in Atlantic proposing a million voters pledge to vote in 1900 only for candidates from a party with a plank to destroy liquor traffic. The plan aims to secure anti liquor planks through party conventions, but warns voters against binding themselves to unexamined platforms and notes risks of unintended political alignments. The Telegraph advocates temperance but rejects the pledge plan as dangerous and imprudent.
