2007 Award
The Partisan Prohibition Historical Society invites nominations for its 2007 Citation of Merit. The award consists of a certificate and some publicity. The recipient will be an individual or an organization which has rendered exemplary service in the preservation and dissemination of Prohibition Party history.
Nominations should be sent to the Secretary of the PPHS, James Hedges, Box 212, Needmore, Pennsylvania 17238. Supporting documents should include a photograph (if of an individual nominee), a brief biography, and a summary of the reasons for the nomination. The winner will be chosen by ballot of Society members and will be announced in the summer of 2008.
School students in Argonia, Kansas have launched a petition drive to have former town mayor Susanna Madora Salter featured on a postage stamp. Salter, a Prohibitionist, was the first woman elected mayor of any city in The United States.
Salter was a prominent member of the local Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. She was nominated as the Prohibition Party candidate by wets, in
an effort to embarass the WCTU. The joke backfired, and Salter won handily,
getting two-thirds of the vote. Salter will be the first elected Prohibitionist
to be honored on a postage stamp.
Please download the 
petition, make as many copies as you need, and return them to the
co-ordinator when completed. Because the 5th grade class in Argonia had
the idea to do this, it would be especially appropriate to ask members
of the 5th grade class in your own neighborhood school to sign. (There
is no age requirement for signing petitions to the Stamp Advisory Committee.)
Please download the
resolution and ask the officers
of your church, club, or community organization to endorse the Salter
Stamp proposal. Return the completed resolution to the project co-ordinator:
James Hedges, Box 212, Needmore, Pa. 17238.
