Historical Note:
The Montana Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was founded in August 1883 as a
result of a visit to Montana by National WCTU organizers Frances E. Willard and Anna A.
Gordon. The delegates attending the initial meeting, representing Butte, Helena, Dillon, and
White Sulphur Springs, elected "Mrs. Dr. Clark" as territorial president. By 1889, under the
leadership of Laura E. Howey of Helena, the WCTU had grown to thirteen local unions and ten
departments including Social Purity, Presentation of our Cause before Legislature and other
Influential Bodies, Unfermented Wine at Sacrament, Purity in Literature and Art, and Alms
House.
By 1910 the state union was growing rapidly with over 1000 members and it had diversified
its concerns to include support for government aid for destitute mothers, teaching of
domestic science in the schools, and opposition to the drinking of Coca-Cola which at that
time contained cocaine.
With the national tide of enthusiasm for prohibition and other social reforms, the Montana
WCTU membership grew to 4167 active members in 202 local unions by 1916. In addition the
WCTU had a full-time lobbyist in the 1913 Legislative Assembly and was influential in its
support of reform legislation, including placing woman's suffrage and statewide prohibition
on the ballot.
However, the necessity of cooperating with other reform organizations brought dissension
and attempts to alter WCTU principles. There was also a decline in activity following legal
prohibition.
The WCTU entered a new period of enthusiasm in the late 1930s with the employment of
several field workers. In 1947 the Montana Legislative Assembly passed a law authorizing a
Narcotics Education Commission, but providing no funding. The WCTU spearheaded the
fundraising campaign and was influential in the selection of the narcotics educator and in
the development of her program. However, conflict over aims and methods arose between the
WCTU and Superintendent of Public Instruction Elizabeth Ireland and the program gradually
declined in effectiveness.
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s the women of the Montana WCTU continued to pursue their
goal of statewide total abstinence in the face of increasing acceptance by Montanans of
social drinking. By the 1970s, unable to attract younger members, the local unions were
forced to dissolve. The state organization had ceased to exist by 1976.
This collection contains records of the Montana WCTU. Included is interoffice
correspondence (1936-1976), which contains letters of the National WCTU, the Montana WCTU,
other states' WCTU organizations, and local unions in Montana. Correspondents for the
Montana WCTU include Mrs. W.C. Dawes, Mrs. H.E. Chappell, Bertha Rachel Palmer, Miriam
Pease, Agatha Woods, Beatrice Kreis, Amanda Henricksen, Anna Reagan, Helena Mildred Clarke,
Mabel Noble, Grace Thiebaud, Elizabeth S. Donahue, Cora Mae Boucher, Francis Lowe, and
Mildred Carpenter. In addition there is correspondence with National WCTU field workers
including Lily Grace Matteson, Dora Young, Sara Palmer, and Ida Underland.
The records for the Montana WCTU also include general correspondence (1936-1963) with
Montana governors and state officials (State Board of Health, Department of Public
Instruction), United Temperance Movement of Montana, congressmen, etc.; financial records
(1883-1970); printed materials; reports of directors, officers, and local unions; subject
files containing materials for various WCTU departments (1922-1976); miscellany; and
clippings.
In addition there is a subgroup for the Kalispell WCTU and the Frances E. Willard local
union of Kalispell, which includes general correspondence (1942-1973), financial records
(1952-1973), minutes of meetings (1919-1973), programs, scrapbooks, and clippings.
There is also a small subgroup of miscellaneous WCTU materials including reports of the
World WCTU, the National WCTU, Ohio WCTU, and New York WCTU; and minutes and programs from
Montana local unions including Forsyth, Culbertson, Glendive, Libby, Columbia Falls, and
Whitefish.
Arranged by subgroup and series. Some material housed in Archives Map Case and Manuscript
