THE TEMPERANCE LEAGUE.

Extracts from DR.. Daniel Dorchesters
address:
A distinctive feature of the League is
n0R-pdrtiSanship in temperance effort;
and it is fitting, in this first public meet
ing of the League in New England, that
this phase be to some extent explained
and indicated. In doing so, we cannot
avoid seeming to antagonize those who
believe in partisan temperance action
Cheerfully according to all friends of
temperance the utmost liberty of opinion
and action, and INDUCING in no words of
bitterness or vituperation, we declare our
purpose to be straightforward temper
ance work along the lines of non-partisan
effort.
Do we need to define what we mean by
non-partisanship
/. We do not discard civil legislation
against the liquor traffic. Such action,
in the strict sense of the term, is polite
al. 1t is legitimate political action, but
not necessarily partisan.
2. We believe that such legislation
can be best secured by many non-partisan
ways in which citizens have often procur-
ed the enactment of great measures, and
in which our Maine laws, from 1850
1856, were obtained.
3. This League, in its organic capaci-
ty, will not entangle itself with any poit-
ical party.
We formally discard the policy of a
distinct political temperance party, with
its candidates for state and national offic-
