Temperance Union kicks off Massachusetts prohibition crusade
The Woman's Christian Temperance Union launches its statewide drive for general prohibition in Massachusetts aiming for the state to become the tenth to adopt the measure. Workers travel the state giving lectures at town meetings and open-air revivals with speakers John B. Lewis and Professor John A. Nicholls. Nine states have already adopted prohibition, with Missouri likely to be the tenth if Massachusetts acts promptly. Mrs. Janette Hill Knox notes strong Southern gains for temperance and hopes Massachusetts will advance this fall.
