HON. WM. JENNINGS BRYAN.
Pays a Tribute to the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. “We have now come to rejoice in the accomplishment of the greatest moral reform in this generation. Our hopes have been realised, our determination has been rewarded, and our victory has been more complete than even the most sanguine of us had believed possible. “This is no new and sudden thing, victory has come quickly at the last, but the foundations were laid long, long ago. Fifty years ago the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, the greatest organisation among women that the world has ever known, began its crusade. The work done by these women in having the evil effects of alcohol presented in the schools had very much to do with the sweep of Prohibition.”
