Prohibition as a Political Factor in Elections
The Prohibition party has little impact on presidential races. Past votes show tiny shares relative to total turnout. In 1872 the temperance vote was 5,608 of 6,466,165. 1880 had 10,305 of 9,210,970. The 1884 ticket is unlikely to surpass 1880, as factions differ by state and many Republicans and Democrats back temperance without abandoning their parties. Cleveland Leader notes internal splits and warns a national ticket would harm reform aims.
