WASHINGTON, Dec. THE
Anti-Saloon League today rebuked
Edward s. Shumaker, Indiana Anti
Saloon League superintendent, by
dropping him as a member of the
national executive committee of the
laegue at the session Of the COM
mittee and national board here.
Shumaker was replaced on the
executive committee by r. N. Hols-
apple of Detroit, because of the jail
sentence given him by Indiana
Supreme Court for contempt of
court, it was said.
Forces Of General Superintendent
F. Scott Mcbride scored a victory
in the fight to gain control Of the
league, when they defeated William
M. Forgrave, State superintendent
of the Massachusetts Anti-Saloon
League. for place on the executive
committee.
Dry Plank Plea Beats Him
Forgrave has been one of Nc
Brides most active opponents and
was said to have been defeated be-
cause of his insistence that demands
be made upon both political parties
for the insertion of dry. planks in
the party platforms.
Forgrave has been. mentioned as
possible candidate against Nc
Bride for general superintendent,
but Mcbride was reelected TO that
position.
The Rev. E. H. Cherrington,
WesterWlle. Ohio, leader Of Nhe
faction opposing Mcbride, was re-
elected as general manager of the
leagues publishing interests and
secretary Of the national executive
committee, and was named as di-
rector of the new bureau Of edu-
cation and publicity.
Cherrington and Mcbride still
were maneuvering for control OF
the league, however.
1t was decided that the new ma
tional executive committee viii
name members of a newly created
administrative committee" and
determine the number of members
on that body. The administrative
committee will direct all activities
of the league as a compromise be-
tween the two dissenting forces.

maker resigned, he said. Shumaker,
he said, was a member Of the nomi-
mating committee Of the national

body if he chose.

WASIIINGTON-If the friends of

name which will smell just as sweet.
Whether the scheme finally chosen
will actually be compromise or
a little sister of the McNary- -Haugen
bill is likely to depend on whether the
administration feels compelled to take
the agricultural discomfort seriously,
but the farm bloc does not now show
any strong disposition to give up any

Considerable attention is now being
paid to the "Vrooman BILL" a piece
of proposed legislation submitted by
Carl S. Vrooman, of Bloomington,

And now and then pound with my

If the solons should come to a

They do all the work while I sit there

Perhaps Mr. Dawes doesn't hold in
his memory
The voices that recently dinned in
his ear
The voices as harsh as the rasping
of emery,
Which repair men occasionally
leave in a gear
The voices high pitched and ex-
tremely oracular,
The voices as shrill as the SCI cam
of a finch,
Or he wouldn't refer in his fluent
vernacular
To the job that he holds as a
"cinch"
We still can recall an occasion
When Mr.. Vice President Dawes
Said the statesmen DER whom he pre-
sides like a gloom
Were somewhat too free with their
jaws.
He said, if our memory serve us
And he shot out each word with a
bang
That if he had his way as he may
have some day
He will certainly gag the whole
gang.

tors laundering
For hours and hours and hours and

And often we've found ourselves

At the learned vice presidents great
