Prohibition Party Hedges on 2016 Party Platform

"Jim Hedges, the 2016 Prohibition Party candidate for President,... Hedges served as Tax Assessor for Thompson Township Pennsylvania for two terms – the first time a member of the Prohibition Party held office since 1959.
Hedges: The Prohibition Party’s “core” is divided between religious conservatives who oppose beverage alcohol on doctrinal grounds, and the relatively liberal wing that opposes beverage alcohol because of the social problems it causes. The liberal wing traces back to the early progressive era of the party. I’m from the liberal wing, and I was able to add a few progressive planks to this year’s platform. Perhaps it does make this platform appear schizophrenic, as one critic told me, but the politics is the art of possible." IPR
