The Liquor Interest in Politics
By Wesleyan Methodist
THE liquor interest goes into politics, determined to know nothing but breweries, distilleries, and saloons. Whatever stands in the way of these interests they propose to strike down. A representative of the New York State Brewers’ and Malsters’ Association said in a speech recently:— “Our object is simply to defeat any men or measures which will prove injurious to our interests. The association is not a political organization. If two men are running on opposition tickets, and one of them is of known prohibition tendencies, the association works against him, no matter what his political party.” Temperance men should be equally positive in their antagonism to the fiery, ever-destroying fiend of the still.
