New York Methodists Endorse Dry Vote Policy
The New York Methodist Episcopal church at its 129th annual conference adopted a prohibition report stating no matter the politics, they will not vote for any public official who is not avowedly dry. The report, by J. P. Tucker of the Temperance Committee, cites national promotion and enforcement as factors. It notes declines in public intoxication and related harms, but cites New York and Maryland as lacking progress, while outlining plans for a sustained anti prohibition drive and potential elections and Congress considerations.
