The feeling against the society became so strong that it gave rise to a new political party called the Anti- Masonic, its purpose being to exclude all Freemasons from office. It nominated a candidate for the Presidency in 1832, but soon after died out. The Temperance Cause. — ^As has been already stated, the drinking of intoxicating liquors was very common in colonial times. It continued so in the early days of the States, drunkenness being a serious evil, which affected even the highest classe...s of society. Temperance societies had been formed, but had done little good. The first suc- cessful temperance society was established in 1826, and in the years that followed the temperance cause won thousands of adherents, and did remarkable work in repressing the mania for strong drink.^ ^ Total abstinence was not required by the early temperance socie- ties. All they demanded was abstinence from distilled spirits, — whis- key, brandy, and rum. In 1840 the Washingtonian Temperance Society was formed, which required total abstinence.
