Albany, Jan. 24.-Ths controversy between Sem
stor Raines and the Rev. Dr. Howard H. Russell.
of the Ant.-Saloon League. over the local option
public a letter 70 DR.. Russell. in which he orid-
agement and virtually called the clergyman liar.
The league recently sent broadcast through the
stRfe a pamphlet giving the history Of the Local
Option bill fn other years. and criticised Senator
Raines's attitude toward that measure In one
place the pamphlet said that this year the Senator
had promised mot TO Obst-uct the BILL and IN
another not TO oppose it," Various highly un-
complimentary references 70 his previous relations
with the league were made. and the fact that the
league had opposed him IN his district last fall
was related with great gusto.
Replying TO the attacks. Senator Raines cT1ti-
cised the form OF the bul in previous years and
the bearing of the men who were behind It. He
indicated that the bill had not ''been presented
for enactment in other years. and said that in
the pamphlet Dr. Russell had reiterated statements
which at CanandaiFua he haa admitted 10 be IN
true and other things proved untrue by records
He ended his letter IN these words:
Il do not believe that II Will take long for the
churches TO realize that your methods are not
such as become a man who assumes the title OF
Doctor OF Divinity. The sooner the league changes
its head for who has at heart the ad-
vancement OF the cause OF temperance rather than
greater progress viii be made in the interests OF
humanity. The only advancement that you have
brought about has been an increase in collections
for the benefit of yourself ana the favored Few
whom you permit to share IN your bounty"
