Biography and History |
The Prohibition Party was founded in 1869 and is still in existence today. It has been most famously known for its strong opposition to "intoxicating beverages," as stated in its 1872 party platform, but through the years the party has also stood for social issues such as labor reform and suffrage for women. Clarence B. DeHart, a resident of Mariners Harbor, Staten Island, ran for the New York State Assembly as a Prohibition Party candidate in 1911. His campaign card emphasized the party's anti-liquor stance. |
