In addition to its stance on alcohol, the party also supports a variety of conservative and progressive social issues.

Salter]], as a candidate for president, in 1884. The party also played a key role in the passage of the [[Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Eighteenth Amendment]], which established Prohibition in the United States.

==Notable Members==
