Drake Insists Drys
Misrepresented the
Number In, Parade
Most Remarkable Demon
siration for Constitutional
Liberty Ever Staged in
United States, He Says

Frank c. Drake, director of the In
dependence Day anti-prohibition pa
rade, protested yesterday against mis-
representation of the number of per
sons in the parade which he declared
had been made by the Anti-Ssloon
League. Francis J. Lowe, chief aid to
the grand marshal of the parade, also
issued statement disputing assertions
by league officials that only $4,000 per-
sons participated in the marching.
Mr.. Drake said the Anti-Saloon
League with characteristic insincer-
ity" had avoided the actual issue when
it tired to prove that only $4,000 march
ers were in line.
"Whether the American Liberties
League turned out $4,000 or 400. 900
marchers is not the point at all" said
Mr.. Drake. ut is marvellous that in
view of the intense heat so MANY per
sons were in the line. Of course, there
were thousands more than the Anti
Saloon League officials are ready to ad
nit. The hundreds Of thousands on
the curb lines were quite as enthusi-
astic as the marchers. The Anti-Sa
loon League is as usual begging the
question. The Mayor of New York re-
viewed on July one of the most re
markable demonstrations in support OF
constitutional liberty ever staged in
this country"
A statement issued by the Anti-Sa
loon League reads in part:
"The attempt at political intimida
ton in the name of personal hbert,
has gone to join the no beer no work
threat. The result shows that ever
imperfect enforcement is iustifyinf
