H. T. LAUGHBAUM
Superintendent, Anti-Saloon League of
Oklahoma

DR.. P. A. Baker had a great part in
establishing the Anti-Saloon League in
Oklahoma. Many years ago while on
a trip to Texas through what was then
Indian Territory his train was delayed,
or account of high water, at McAles-
ter. There was a revival going on in
one of the churches there and DR..
Baker attended services that night.
There he met Capt. A. S. McKennon
one of the leading lawyers as well as
churchmen of McAlester. Through
this meeting Dr. Baker later went TO
McAlester and organized what was
called the Church Federation for
Statewide Prohibition in Indian Ter
ritory, the Territory being under Fed
eral prohibition. In January, 1000,
DR.. Baker came to Oklahoma City and
addressed a union meeting Of all the
churches one night, and the next day
attended the State Convention Of the
Anti Saloon League of Oklahoma in
Guthrie where he and Gov. Charles N.
Haskell, Oklahoma's first governor,
addressed a crowded house that night.
In fact several hundred could not get
in the auditorium. His last visit to
Oklahoma was in June, 1922, when he
presided over a District Convention
held in Oklahoma City, of the State
Leagues of Kansas, Missouri, Arkan-
sas, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma.
At this time he spoke in the First M.
f. church on Sunday morning in Ok
lahoma City. 1t was with regret
Oklahoma heard OF his death.

Saloon League of America

..odiOoh lIdbdS Vi fhihSiiSo
The lot OF, successful leader in the
field of reform is to live in a sense in
many generations rather than one.
His work is oftentimes more enthusi-
astioally appreciated by those yet I'M
born who get the benefit but not the
bitterness.
DIR. p. A. Baker, to me it seems,
gave his greatest contribution to the
prohibition cause in the command to
Go forward" at the right time. We
can hear him yonder at Columbus,
Ohio, i'll 1918 in Memorial Hall, ring
out clearly in the call to go "On to
Washington" for the securing of the
amendment to the Constitution. Every
loyal soldier in his army fell in line
for the successful march. An earlier
date would have been impossible and
later one would have been disastrous.
If not already here, the time will come
when 1t will be seen that no one has
given a bigger and a better service to
the Church and to the world in this
generation than DR.. Baker
His life was one of conservation
and courage. To work with him was
to see that he walked close with God;
that no one was his master but his
God. He loved the Church and had a
true vision OF its power for good gov
eminent when rightly used DR..
Baker has finished his task, but he still
survives. ''''

Superintendent, Anti-Saloon League of
Georgia

Notwithstanding DR.. Bakers death
was expected, his going away was a
shock to all OF us. State, national
and world prohibitionists knelt in tears
at his funeral, and praised God that
he had been spared so long, and in
much feebleness had done such
wonderful work. His body was not
equal to his unconquerable spirit.
No history of prohibition can be
written, specially that which recounts
the years revolving about the Eight
zenith Amendment, that does not
make large mention of DR.. Purley A.
Baker.
His works do follow him..

SMITH FORCES ARE

Cox Not to Throw Strength to
 "Al," Manager Says

New York, June 25.--scouts for the Smith headquarters assigned to "mis- sionary work" among the state dele satio9s reported today to their can didate. Governor Alfred F. Smith of New York, and his campaign man. 5ger, Franklin D. Roosevelt, that they were winning votes" On the basis of these reports and on the strength of conferences which the governor and Mir. Roosevelt person. ally conducted with democratic Nssders, it was announced at the headquarters that confidence in the struggle had expanded and there was no question but that Mir. Smith was rapidly approaching the presidential nomination"
 Governor Smith devoted the day to work at his headquarters and in keeping engagements with plitical leaders, He remained away from the convention explaining that Mir. Roosevelt represented him there. Mir. Roosevelt was in his seat di- recting his scouts and advancing the smith candidacy with those with whom he came into direct contact.
 Charles F. Morris, chief of staff of the James M. Cox boom. today brand ed as false published statements that Cox would throw his strength to Gov ernor Smith if it is found impossible to nominate Cox.
 Tt is true that our Ohio national com mmltteeman, Edmund H. Moore, has been in conference with Smith leaders but he is not giving away. Cox retes-he is obtaining Cox votes," Morris said.
 Ohio is not under the unit rule, 1 and some Ohio votes possibly will go ! to Al Smith on showdown. but the ; number will not exceed ten or F. It l IS possible that the Buckeye delega- ton may give Smith a complimentary vote on some ballot but the majority of the Ohio delegates are for James M Cox, first, last and an the time"
