Prohibitory Law Debate in Maine and Party Temperance Debate
A lengthy political tract argues that opponents of the Maine Prohibitory Law fail to break the opposing prop, claiming temperance advances rely on moral instruction rather than force. It critiques Sun and Smyrna Times coverage, defends Democratic temperance posture, and ties shifts in 19th century voter sentiment to hard cider campaigns and prohibitionist tactics. The piece cites party dynamics in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maine with references to fusionist Republicans and evolving temperance stances.
