only one question. Tinkman'S
name and address. Caraway
then left the room turning the
witness over to Walsh. Caraway
and Walsh both are dry.
Prepared for Battle
Tinkham came prepared for
battle. A lawyer himself, he
stuck to legal terms and for the
first time in all the lobby hear
ings seemed to confound Walsh.
The Montana Senator was frus-
trated every time he tried to OBJ
ject to the Back Bay Congress
man with "but Senator, / am
very well prepared to prove this"
And in every case Tinkhan1 was
prepared to do this with volumin-
Gus documents.
PhotostatS Of material sent out
by the Methodist board was pro
duced by Tinkham. He charged
that Senator Copeland CD Of
New York was solicited because
he was a member of that church,
but he said Copeland was against
the present dry law. A great cf.
fort, he claimed, was made by
the Methodists, to keep Copeland
in line.
Blaine, to the apparent con.
sternation Of Walsh, aided Tink-
ham in his testimony. and in
sisted on questioning Tinkham
in detail as to the Methodist
Board of Temperance Prohibition
and Public Morals.
Wants Books Examined
,Tinkham readily answered
Blaine's questions and demanded
that all books and records of the
Methodist board be summoned.
With q smile Walsh asked
Tinkham If it was his opinion
thta III was matter Of pride
for the Methodist Board to boast
they had more legislation in
Congress than all other Protestant
denominations. This fact was
produced in statistics introduced
by Tinkham. who replied:
"I don't know IL the yare or
not"
80 Methodist Senators
Blaine brought out the fact
"that the eMthodists have sue
ceeded in electing 80 Methodist
Senators" To this Tinkharh
stated:

Tinkham when he was elected
to Congress asked that part Of
his famous cellar be moved to
Washington so he could entertain
in a real way. The Methodists
objected.
When the Eighteenth Amend
ment was put through, Tinkham
bought the entire cellars Of two
Of Boston's leading hotels. OF the
transaction Tinkham said:
II figured out what my
friends and myself would drink
over my span Of life and
bought accordingly. ! bought
all this liquor because / knew
1t was necessary. / drink very
little, but / do take q drink.
Dry members drink more Of my
booze than all other people

When Tinkhan came to Con-

move part Of his stock Of liquor
to Washington. He did 1t openly,
and was attacked. AS result,
he then opened fire on the dry
