"True Temperance" Leaflet
Leaflet circulated by Duniway in 1914 in an attempt to convince voters to vote "No" on prohibition. Her efforts were not successful, and prohibition became law in Oregon that year. Duniway believed that "True Temperance" (self-restraint) was needed rather than an anti-alcohol legislation, which must ultimately fail.
