TE4IRTYFOUR YEARS ON THE FIRING LINE

Wheeler was appointed Attorney and
Legislative Superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League Of Ohio with headquarters
in Columbus, the capital city. In 1908
Dr. r. A. Baker, Superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League of Ohio, was elected
General Superintendent of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of America. Mr.. Wheeler
Ohio drys, and assumed his new duties
early in 1904 and continued as superin-
tendent until 1917.
Prohibition Becomes National Issue
The movement against the liquor .traf-
fc had assumed national proportions.
From the modest beginning in Oberlin
in 1898 of the omnipartisan method of
fighting the liquor traffic when DIR. How
ard II. Russell launched his legislative
campaign to give Ohio a dry legislature
had grown a movement that was proving
successful in practically every state in the
Union.
The national character of the contest
had already been dscerned by the
League leaders, and the need of a ma
tional Anti-Saloon League was recogniz-
ed. This need had been met in 1895 by
the organizing of the Anti-Saloon League
OF America in Washington, D. c.
Local option units in the various states
had increased in area, gradually putting
whole states under the liquor ban so that
by March 1, 1917, twenty-five states with
an aggregate population of more than
35,000,000 had adopted prohibition of the
sale of Intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes. The demand for a national
prohibition policy was becoming insistent
and in response to this the Anti-Saloon

Wheeler Dr. Russell found him in the
jantor's quarters and laid before HIN his
proposition. 1t was an offer for life en-

offer He had different plans He had
contracted for craftsmanship job for the
following year, his first year out OF col
lege, and had set his heart upon a career
in law, and yet, as he in later years re-
lated, he had a tremendous aversion to
drunkenness and, being a born fighter, he
saw here a chance to strike at what he
believed to be a great evil. This aversion
dated from time when as a small by on

attached himself to the Anti Saloon

than thirty years of intensive opposition
to one of the greatest curses OF the hui
man race.

League of America in convention in CO.
umbus, Ohio, 1913, launched a nation
wide movement for constitutional nation
al prohibition. The enthusiasm for ma
tional prohibition grew in intensity, and
all eyes were conferred on Washington.
1t was realized that the contest had been
transferred from localities to the national
capital.
Wheeler Goes to Washington
Already in December, 1916, both House
and Senate Judiciary Committees of the
Oath Congress had reported favorab1y the
prohibition resolution. 1t was apparent
that the situation demanded the Leagues
strongest leadership in Washington. In
looking about for the man best fitted to
look after the legal aspects of the fight
Superintendent Baker wisely selected the
Superintendent of the Anti Saloon League
of Ohio 1t was with reluctance that
Wayne B. Wheeler relinquished his post
as Superintendent of the mother state in
the Anti Saloon League movement, but
he saw the opportunity for wider, more
useful service, and accordingly began his
career at the national capital as General
Counsel of the Anti-Saloon League of
America. Three years later on the resig-
nation of DR.. E. c. Dinwiddie as Legisla-
tive Superintendent, Mr.. Wheeler added
the duties of that office to his labors and
continued as head both of the legal de-
partment and legislative department to
the time of his death.
While the joint prohibition resolutions
favorab1y recommended for passage by
both the Judiciary Committee OF the
House and the Judiciary Committee of
the Senate of the Oath Congress in 1916,
they failed of passage. The drys contin-
ued the fight with renewed energy and
determination, and the resolution sub
hitting the Eighteenth Amendment to
the states for ratification or rejection was
passed in 1913.
Wins Recognition in Capital
Later came the contest in Congress for
the enactment of the Volstead Law to
make the amendment operative and eff
fective. 1t was a bitterly contested bat
tie. The necessary number of states had
ratified, it was plainly the will of the peo
pie that the national prohibition policy
should be the policy of the land, but the
vets in Congress were determined to de-
feat it by refusing the proper machinery
of government to make it operative. At
ter numerous conferences of House and
Senate Committees the measure was pass
ed and sent to the President for his APP
prevail The President vetoed it, but it
was Immediately passed over his veto on
October 81, 1919, and the long cherished
dream of thousands and hundreds of
thousands of people of the United States
apparently was realized
National prohibition had become the
organic law of the land. Wayne B.
Wheeler's counsel was of incalculable
value to the dry leaders in both House
and Senate during those bitter battles.
His ability as a constitutional lawyer, his
adroitness and resourcefulness as leader
was fast gaining recognition.

drys was apparently realized and news

from the Phillies for pitcher and
maybe they win. The Phils need
pitchers, among several thousand
other things. and the Dodgers need
a shortstop who will guarantee to
get a hit at least every other day.
They also have talked up a straight
trade of Buzz McWeeney for Jake
May, of the Reds, But maybe Gin
cinnati is a little hard of hearing.
