at different times from 1911 to 1914
which the Brewers association in
dorsed in some states, including
Iowa, Texas, Pennsylvania Indiana
and one candidate for congress from
Illinois, but he could not recall the
details. He admitted that the asso-
cations organization committee was
active in wet" and dry" fights in
several states in those years and said
that in that time it spent between
$400, 900 and 100000, doing all it
legitimately could to arouse public
sentiment in our favor"

In the wet" and dry" campaign
in Nebraska, several years ago, he
said, the assessment was so cents for
