English House OF Commons at the In
stance of the king before the Revolu-
tionary War, and the long fight which
he had made to be readmitted as the
representative of his people, ending
in Wilkes success.
Small to Be Firm.
Mr.. Doyle of Springfield, Ill.,, for
mer Secretary of State of Illinois. told
the committee that Col Smith might
be hammering at the door Of the Sen
ate over the six-year period for which
he has been elected if the Senate
should refuse to seat him. He sug-
gested that Smith could present his
credentials at the opening session of
every new Congress during the term
for which he had been elected.
The committee was assured that
Gov. Small of Illinois would not
withdraw the appointment that he had
given Smith to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator Nc
Kinley. The refusal of the Senate to
accept the credentials signed by the
governor unlawfully deprived Illinois
of Its right to equal representation in
the Senate.
The argument was made that Col.
Smith could not be expelled until after
he had been seated. 1t was argued
also that a two-third vote would be
necessary to expel him once he had
been officially admitted to the Senate.

tee had conducted it's investigation in
Illinois, Mr.. Carlstrom said that Smith
was entitled to be seated.
There is not a Senator here who
would thank me if 1 suggested that
the people of his State were not Ca
pable of selecting Senator" said
Mr.. Carlstrom.
The attorney general said that the
Smith campaign managers had been
very fair to Hugh Magill, who wal
running as an independent Republican
against Smith in the general election
They had permitted Magill's name to
appear on the ballot as an independent
Republican, although he said he be-
lieved the law would have prevented
the use of the word Republican>if. Col.
Smith had insisted on it. The Magill
campaign, he said, was well financed.
In spite of the opposition, he said, Col.
Smith was elected by 10000 votes over
Magill and his Democratic opponent,
George E. Brennan.
Mr.. Beck, former solicitor general
of the United States, who opened the
case for Smith yesterday, completed
his argument with an appeal to the
committee not to discard the solemn
injunctions of the Constitution of the
United States. He argued that the
Senate had no right to go beyond the

Civil War Reference.
| He said that after the Civil War, the
| question arose as to whether men who
| had served the Confederate States
| should take seats in the Senate. Even
| then, he said, it was held that a con-
stitutional amendment was necessary

served against the United States from
being admitted to the Senate, IL they
| came with a certificate of election in
| due form. He insisted that if Mis-
| sissippi had sent Jefferson Davis to
| the Senate he would have been seated
without the constitutional amendment.
Senator George of Georgia suggested
that possibly the reason for the adop-
ton of the constitutional amendment
after the Civil War was to disqualify
| men who had served the Confederate
States and without that disqualified
ton Congress had authority to adj
NIT them.
Mr.. Beck cited the case of John
Wilkes. who was turned out of the

vide for creation of an independent
commission to handle all radio mat
tiers, such as issuing broadcasting
licenses and the assignment of wave
lengths, for one year. After that
these powers would be transferred to
the Secretary of Commerce, with the
board acting as judicial body in the
event of disputes.

tended that q device recently per-
fected by the Bureau of Standards

Mr.. Bloom also accused radio com
panies OF having deliberately created

as the bill acted on today.

central theme of wet editorials. Seven
column headlines proclaimed eternal war
fare on "Wheelerism"
But the coup failed utterly.
1t is doubtful if this word intended for
derision and commissioned by the vets to
inhame revolt against the prohibition law
and its enforcement ever cost the dry
cause a friend, but it is very probable that
it aroused thousands of friends OF the
cause who were sleeping in a sweet COM
placency that the fight was over, to re-
newed activity. 1t is altogether likely
that it recruited thousands of erstwhile
Indifferent citizens to the ranks Of the
drys.
"Wheelerism," word of derison ema-
mating from the wet camp, now expresses
those high and noble ideals for which the
Anti-Saloon League has cOntendcd for
thirty-four years. Could any higher trib-
ute be paid to the efficiency, industry'and
success of this leader than the making of
his name 4 synonym for prohibition?

81 YEARS ON THE FIRING Line
Continued from Page Two)
Wheeler Stands Guard

But Wayne B. Wheeler was among
those who realized that the fight had re-
ally just begun. The more than a score
of years of fighting the liquor traffic had
taught him to know that there was never
a law enacted inimical to or in any way
restricting the traffic that was respected
by those engaged in it. From the day the
prohibition policy went into effect, Janu-
airy 10, 1920 Wayne B. Whee1er's alert
ness, aggressiyeness, resourcefulness, pa
tence, and witha1 his fighting qualities,
increased. He was standing guard but
not merely on the defensive. He was
guard on both defensive and offensive.
He was a guard determined to keep the
ground won and to push forward for
more. His active mind was constantly
devising ways and means to strengthen
the law where it was proving ineffective.
The concerted assaults of the liquor

SENATOR sHEPPARD'S TRIBUTE
Says Memory of His Labors Will Inspire
of Righteousness to Press On

On the day of Wayne B. Wheeler's
funeral, Senator Morris Sheppard, of
Texas, in an interview given out in
Washington, asserted his belief that
Wheeer's death will not weaken prohi-
bition in the least. He said:
"Wayne B. Wheeler helped to place
prohibition on such lasting foundations
that it will go forward with increasing
success. The memory of his 1abors will
inspire all lovers Of righteousness and
progress to greater efforts to just govern
ment. One of the greatest tributes to his
work is the permanence Of prohibition in
the life Of America"
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1927-09-01

traffic began to be felt within year after
the law became effective.
The law was assailed In the courts.
Wayne B. Wheeler was there to meet the
attacks, and successfully defended it at
every point.
1t was assaulted in the halls of Congress.
Wayne B. Wheeler was always present
to sound the alarm. No gesture, however
slight, toward weakening the law escaped
his eye, and he struck with lightning ra-
pidity.
The law was assaulted through the ap-
pointment occasionally of unfit enforce
ment officers Wayne B. Wheeler was
quick to detect these breaches and never
hesitated to protest where protestation
was most effective The assaults were
made upon the law in press and magazine
stories. Wheeler was ready with return
fire.
Becomes Target for Attack
The assaults upon the law and its en-
forcement have increased in intensity
each succeeding year since 1920. During
the past two years especially, Wheeler
has been the chief target of the vets at
tack. There appears to have been a ma
tion-Wide collision on the part of the wet
press to attempt to create the impression
in the minds of the public that the Anti
Saloon League, that mighty militant arm
OF the united churches, was i'll reality
nothing but a man and that man-Wayne
B. Wheeler. wheeler, the dictator be-
fore whom Congressman and Senators
and Cabinet Officers bowed in humble
obeisance'; wheeler, who cracked the
whip and Congress cringed"; Wheeler,
who controlled appointments and even in
Auenced courts"
Liberty-1oying, free-born, intelligent cit
liens of the United States have no place
in their scheme of government for die
tator. The strategy of this wet propa
ganda was so apparent as to be ludicrous.
The vets believed that by creating wide
spread resentment against Mr.. Wheeler
that they would kill the Anti Saloon
League and its influence.

'Wheelerism" to designate this phantom,

Cemetery, Columbus, Ohio, Thursday al
ternoon, September 8, following funeral
services in Central Methodist Episcopal
Church in Columbus.
In the morning private funeral services
were conducted by Rev. DR.. Schatzman
of the Central M. z. Church at the Ed
ward E. Fisher Company mortuary, at
tended only by members of the immediate
family.
Anti Saloon League superintendent
from many states, National League lead
ers from near and far, public, officials ma
tionally known, representatives of church
denominational bodies, and civic organi-
cations, joined the throng which packed
the auditorium to overflow, that had come
to pay tribute of respect to the memory
of this great man.
The central sections of the church had
been reserved for League Superinten-
dents, other League workers, and those
who had been officially commissioned to
represent various organizations interested
in the work to which Mr. Wheeler had
given his life. An hour before the time
of the services, the remainder of the
church was filled.
Thousands passed his bier during the
two hours the body lay in state to take
the last farewell of their valiant leader in
the fight for sobriety. The rostrum and
pulpit were banked with beautiful floral
pieces, making literally a solid bank of
bloom-howers giving expression to the
hope of immortality.
Services at the church were conducted
by Dr. A. G. Schatzman, pastor, assisted
by DR.. Walter A. Morgan, pastor of the
New First Congregational Church, Chi
cago and former pastor of the Washing
ton church to which the Wheeler family
belonged. In this same church just three
weeks previous was held the funeral SER
vices of Mr.. Whee1er's wife, Ella Belle
Candy Wheeler, and her father, Robert
Candy, Columbus.
The services opened with the reading
of the funeral ritual by DR.. Schatzman,
followed by prayer by Bishop Joseph F.
Berry of Philadelphia, Senior Bishop of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. The
funeral orations were delivered by DR.. F.
Scott Mcbride, General Superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League of America;
Ernest H. Cherrington, General Secre-
tary of the World League Against Alco-
ho1ism; and DR.. Howard Hyde Russell,
founder of the League and Associate Cen
era1 Superintendent. These addresses are
printed elsewhere in this paper.
AS the funeral cortege moved down
Broad Street, chimes in Trinity Episco-
pal Church, just one block from Central
M. E. Church, peeled forth the beautiful
melody of Nearer My God to Thee At
the cemetery the Republican Glee Club,
under the direction of Karl Hoenig, sang
two appropriate hymns, Lead Kindly
Light" and Nearer My God to Thee"
The final prayer was offered by Rev. DR..
Morgan.
At the church before the services,
hymns were played on the organ by Mrs.
Nina D. Beasey a close friend of Mrs.
Wheeler. Pail bearers included Robert
