Excerpt from The Liquor Question in Politics

What is true of New York City is substantially true of the country at large. Liquor is an organization pervasive and thorough, formed to exert all the political power it can for its own good, and as such is one of the strongest elements in Ameri can politics, if indeed it be not the very strongest. The liquor trade has one important advantage over most others active in the political sphere - as a lucrative trade it has command of liberal subscriptions, and many of the men engaged in it have leisure wherein to advance political aims. That the liquor vote has already decided a presidential election is claimed by Mr. Gallus Thomann, head of the Literary Bureau of the United States Brewers' Association. He asserts that Mr. Blaiue's defeat in 1884 is chargeable to his ambiguous attitude toward Probi bitiou in Maine.
