Excerpt from Non-Partisan Temperance Effort: Defined, Advocated, and Vindicated
Third. To use all legitimate civil legislation, and to refer the ques tion, for final decision, to the constitutional verdict of the people.
The League fully recognizes the right and duty of legislation for the suppression of the liquor traffic, and that such action is of incalculable importance. Whatever may be done by moral agencies, and however important the education of the people by the pulpit, the platform, and the press, nevertheless, all citizens should demand of duly constituted governments protection against any evil which, like the liquor traffic, wars against their greatest and best interests. So long as we recognize the object of government to be to promote the welfare of the governed, we shall not hesitate to ask legislative bodies to protect society against this devastating foe.
Does some one ask, Is not such action political? We answer, It is, in the literal sense of the term, for its primary signification com prises any action pertaining to the affairs of a city or state, and therefore includes all civil and legislative transactions. In this sense we do not discard political action; but, in the secondary sense in which the term has come to be often used in common life, as meaning partisan issues and struggles, we do discard it. Our position will be understood by carefully reading Article VII. Z.

Countering the idea that a separate political party is necessary for the success of temperance, the author emphasizes the importance of educating and uniting individuals, fostering a sense of personal responsibility, and strengthening public sentiment.
