der the corrupt practices act. was
made in the house today by Repre-
sentative Tinkham, republican, Mass
aehusetts.
Mr. Tinkham charged specifically
that the league had violated the cor
rupt practices act by not making
returns from 1910. the year OF the
laws enactment. until 1920; by not
giving the names and addresses of
all persons receiving $40 or more

of the league in West Virginia.
Maryland, Wisconsin, Colorado,
Oregon and Iowa.
Complete failure" also was
charged by the Massachusetts, house
member to file returns with the
clerk of the house of numerous other
state branches OF the league which
received or disbursed money in con-
nection with the congressional cleo
ton in 1920 notably the states of
New York. Pennsylvania and Mime
sota.'
Records Show Failure.
The records of the clerk OF the
| house disclosed a failure OF the
league and its subsidiaries to obey
federal statutes" Mr.. Tinkham de-
clared. Not only in one case, but
in many.~
The Massachusetts, member said he
desired to draw attention" to leaf
let recently issued by Parker Shields,
superintendent of the Tennessee
Antisaloon league, asking for con-
tributions which he said contained
this statement:
"A number of congressman, who
hold the balance OF power and pile
up majorities in congress. come from
the southern and western states.
where money for organization and
educational purposes is scarce.
They always had to have help from
the national league.
This would clearly show" the
Massachusetts representative de-
clared, that the Antisaloon league
was Systematically and liberafly
financing congressional campaigns
and placing congressman of the
United States under obligation to
vote III congress in accordance with
its dictation."
Initiate Legislation.
| Mr. Tinkham also read the Ten
nessee lcaflet that funds from that
state also helped to provide for the
maintenance Of the national organize
ton and for the Washington office,
under the very successful manage
ment of the Hon. Wayne B. Wheel
er. one of the greatest diplomats and
attorneys in America"
1t also stated that from this office
needed legislation is initiated, con-
slant watch is kept on the actions of
congress, and when opposition ap-
pears danger signals are flashed to
every state i'll the union"
Laying aside the publication. Mr..
Tinkham said:
1T undoubtedly will be interesting
to the country to learn that legisla-
ton to be initiated comes from the
Office of the Antisaloon league in
Washington and not i'll congress of
the United States" explained Mr..
Tinkham. think of it. To what
degradation, to what debasement has
congress fallen that its shame can be
thus heralded to the world"
