Temperance debate at the Chestnut Street Club in Boston
At the Chestnut Street Club Boston temperance discussions dominated the last meeting with remarks from Der Bartel supporting strong personal liberty while others favored prohibition. Governor Rice questioned total prohibition yet noted a license law cut drunkenness in cities by over thirty three percent and towns by ninety nine percent. Critics warned of rising temperance opposition as prof shops increased and Dr Gordon urged abstinence as the path. Rev Crosby denounced fanaticism as an obstacle to reform. Separately a northern snowstorm disrupted Texas to Chicago rail traffic and a U S attorney nomination shakeup saw Ignes withdraw and Sheppard tipped to fill the post in New York Southern district.
