Temperance Movement at Cleveland Convention Promises Political Impact
The Cleveland gathering of the national convention of the friends of Temperance drew delegates from major religious groups and states. It rejected immediate party formation but signaled potential for political action to curb liquor traffic and push prohibition, with Rhode Island efforts cited as influential. A new history by Alexander H. Stephens is highlighted, and Sunday excursions to Atark Rock faced mixed enforcement and lawlessness incidents aboard boats.
