was the leader in the services yes
terday and In the morning occupied
the pulpit at the First Methodist
Episcopal church. while in the even
ing he delivered an address at ST.
Paurs NJ T.. church.
Some OF the points made by Mr.
Shumaker in his two addresses. and
which were also developed by his
co-workers were that 100000 few
er barrels Of beer we're consume
IN the United States during the hsca
year ending June 80. 1915. thar
were consumed during the proceed
ing year. while 100000 fewe
gallons OF whiskcy were used las
year $4,000 saloons went out o.
business i'm the United States.
Sees State Dry I'm 1920.
The speaker said that great in
terest was being taken in the fsh
against the saloon throughout IA
81
Indiana would be dry by 1920. I'll
reason for this was that there wer
enough men nominated for the low
er house of the state legislature by
all parties that 10 secure their cleo
ton. for which the league is work
ing. would insure a majority for the
drys i'm the house and that the pres
sure would be so great upon the
senate that they could not resist the
voice Of the people.
If a statewide prohibition law
should not be passed at the next
session Of the legislature. Mr.. Shu-
maker ventured the opinion. that
TIE movement would receive such
an impetus that the matter would
be deferred only until 1919. The
work which the league has been
doing TO secure the adjustment OF
the saloon was one or the topics
dwelt upon by all of the speakers.
