Thacher on temperance against rescinding the prohibition
Senator Thacher argues against undoing the prohibitory amendment, defending strict temperance by detailing the harms of dram shops, defending state police powers, and citing legal precedents. He contrasts total and partial prohibitionists, emphasizes the right of society to regulate liquor, and argues for measures reducing crime, poverty, and moral decay.
