BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON. May 8. = The
Anti-Saloon League was born OF
God and will fight on while He
leads" DR.. F. Scott Mcbride, league
superintendent, told the senate
lobby committee in a warm debate
with the wet committee investi-
gator, Senator Blaine (Rep., Wis.,
Blaine charged McBride's remark
was "sacriligious and an outrageous
thing"
Those things in the way of the
progress OF the kingdom of God
must get out of the way" the
superintendent continued, appar-
emily referring to the vets.
what authority have you for
claiming that the league is the son
of God?" Blaine heatedly asked,
waving his pencil at Mcbride.

"What notice did you receive of

1.-The fact that it was born in

"Oh. yes. you put on the cloak of
religion"
I'VE do not put on a cloak--it Is
real religion"
L don't believe God would APP
prove of some of your practices" re-
turned Blaine. Il think your state
ment is a sacriligious and outra-
geous thing. That's how feel about
it."

jected Senator Robinson. dry rep.
Ind. The dry leader co'''' recall
no single instance in his lars of
service where he recommended ap-
pointment of any judge, district at
torney or government official, al
though he presumed" he had done
so.
When Mcbride again said only 5
per cent of the work of the league
was political, Blaine produced
recent speech he made to an Anti
Saloon League convention in which
he said go per cent of our work
clusters about elections"
The two then argued about the
word clusters" Mcbride contend
ing his statement here under oath
did not conflict with his speech.
Blaine developed that Mcbride
claimed in another speech the
league elected forty-three Governors
out of forty-eight in 1928.
81 did not say the league did it,
but that the dry sentiment of the
country did it, Mcbride said.
Proffers Report
Blaine then read a report of
legislative committee of the league
and said this was what he based
his questions upon.
Mcbride did not get as excited
as Blaine, but the dry leader rose
to his feet a moment later when
Blaine produced the book of Justin
Steuart, publicity man for the
league. claiming the late superiu-
tendent, Wayne B. Wheeler, die
tated to two Presidents of the
United States, dominated six con-
crosses and controlled more patron
age than any other dozen men,
Mcbride repudiated the book, al
though Blaine brought out Steuart
still is employed by the league.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April l2.-- Around the portly figure of Senator J. Thomas Heflin centers much of the interest in Alabamas primary election.
 For 34 consecutive years. Heflin has held elective office as "regu- lar" Democrat. Never has he been defeated. Right or Wrong, Cotton Tom" his followers have ofte n shouted.
 Now, the Democratic State exc cutive committee has denied him the political right to seek renomi- nation in the primary August 12, because he supported President Hoover in 1928.
 There remains one chance for him to get on the primary ballot. The State Supreme Court has be- fore it a petition to invalidate the committee ruling as being unconsti- tutional. Party bolters, 1t is as- serted, cannot be admitted to the primary as voters, and barred as candidates.
