LAWMAKERSATTACK
SINCERITY OF 'DRYS'
Sheppard Bill and Other Pro-
hibition Measures Assailed
At Liquor Dealers Banquet.

The Sheppard bill providing for dry
District of Columbia. the Hobson
amendment providing for national pro-
hibition. and the methods employed by
prohibitionists were condemned by SOW
eval members of Congress who spoke at
the annual banquet OF the National Re-
tail Liquor Dealers Association at the
National Hotel last night.
Congressman Meekcr OF Missouri
said
The Anti-Saloon League is the most
corrupt political organization in the
United States"
lie added the greatest danger to this
country at the present time was the
cncroachment of the church into poll
.tics.
"A state has never existed yet where
politics was dominated by the church !;
il has always been destroyed" said Mi.
Meeker. The Missourian said he want
ed to sec a bill introduced In Congress
which would make the buying of a
drink a crime. when that bill is in
troduced you will see the Capitol turn
upside down. he added.
Anti-Saloon Workers Attacked.
Members OF the Anti-Saloon League
were eNcoriated by Congressman CALI
van of Massachusetts, who said lit is
time the American people were waking
To to the dangers CT dry legislation.
lie said the Anti-Saloon League was
hyocritical and went ahead with "its
tanatical plans irrespective at the dan.
ger and harm they bring to their
country IN a substantial and material
way and in other ways"
Speaking of the Sheppard bill. he said: :

he has the Carranza troops the expressive slang tells
it, "bualoed" In every fight with him they have been

If the reports from Chihuahua be believed the de

said General Trevno had retired from the city to join

then face about and retake the city, Perhaps he will
