ProtestAgainst Appoint
ment of Robert Grain

WHEREAS, Mr.. Robert Grain, At
torney for the National Brewers AS
sociation, has been appointed a director
of the War Sayings Fund Campaign for
Maryland, and
WHEREAS, This work will require the
support and cooperation of the minist-
ers, Sunday Schools and different
church organizations of the state and,
since there is at the present time a
campaign being waged in the state and
nation tor the prohibition of the liquor
traffic, be it therefore
RESOLVED, That the Headquarters
Committee of the Anti-Saloon League
of Maryland, earnestly protest to
Secretary McAdoo and Frank A. Wand
erslip against the appointment of Mr..
Grain for the reason that he stands
Numerically opposite to those upon
whom he must depend for success of
the Thrift Movement as evidenced by
the fact that for number of years Mr..
Grain has been the Attorney and rec
ognized lobbyist of the liquor interest
of the state and nation which today is
wasting foodstuffs in the manufacturer
of intoxicating liquors.
We further submit that an appeal
from the Brewers Attorney to the
children to save their pennies would not
be SO well received as if it came from a
business which had been fair to the
childhood of the country.
We further protest against the ap-
pointment of the Attorney of the
Brewers Association tor this peculiar
kind of work at this time.
If you think it unfair to place the at
torney and representative of the
brewers in position of prestige which
can be used to the advantage of the
saloon, write Hon. William G. McAdoo.
