McBnde. general superintendent oi
the anti-saloon league, guiu-dedly
told the senate lobby committee
Tuesday.
McBrlde said Rep. Franklin Fort,
republican. N. J., "may be tight" In
his contention that such manufac
ture of mild liquor is lawful. He
qualified this statement, however,
with the later assertion the league
had taken no position on the jnat'

ooen.
Blaine, the only wet member of
the commitee, challenged vigorously
McBride'a claim of divine origin for
the league, but McBrlde declined to
answer that line of questioning.
McBrlde also admitted during his
third day on the stand the league
supported some dry congressmen
who drink.
-Not every man of them," he said.
"Most of them exist only in news
paper headlines."
