Anti school league is more successful as it aims at the prohibition of liquor consumption in US where as WCTU which is women christian temperance union aimed at campaigning for labor laws, prison reform and suffrage.

Explanation:

Anti school league found in Ohio aimed at the prohibition of liquor consumption in US. It is a non partisan organisation and a voluntary organisation which aimed solely for the purpose of prohibition. It was in an association and linked up with the churches which was extending its support to ASL in the prohibition fight. It lobbied around the issue which was the prohibition of alcoholism consumption and also involved in social service as well.

WCTU aimed at the women suffrage and women rights. ASL became the most powerful organisation contradicting the women led organisation. Women temperance organisation initiated concentrated on the women' rights but as they attained political savvy by public speaking, they altered the goals.
