Solid bio on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, expansion sufficient, no copyvio obvious. Minor: please fix the ref order, remove the stub tag, and perhaps make his joining the Republicans a sentence, not a remark in brackets. I like the original hook much better! - Alternatives, about his life-long work for temperance, still possible, if you like, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:20, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! I've made the changes you suggest. --Coemgenus (talk) 14:45, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
