Temperance Question and the November Election Proposal
In a debated plea for a public vote in November, advocates urge both major parties to seek the people’s will on temperance by pledging to abide by the result and propose that factions unite to adopt a mixed Maine, Connecticut, Michigan, or Ohio law with amendments. The letter traces party splits, warns against rigidity, and warns of Maine Law fallout including the rise of the Wild Cats and Prohibition factions.
