DRY LEAGUE DIVINE,
M'bR|DE DECLARES
Blaine Describes Remarks
as "SacriIegious and
Outrageous"
BY the Associated Press.

! By the Associated Press.
Describing the Anti-Saloon League as
born of God" F. Scott Mcbride said
before the Senate lobby committee to-
day those things in the way of the
progress Of the kingdom Of God must
get out of the way"
Senator Blaine of Wisconsin, wet.
described the dry leaders remarks as
'sacrilegious and outrageous" The
Senator said he did not believe God
would approve of some of your prac-
tees"
Previously Mcbride had denied
charges by Representative Tinkham of
Massachusetts that the league had VIC
lated the law by failing to report all
its political expenditures.
Evasion of Law Denied.
Tinkham testified before the lobby
committee that the dry association had
collected more than $4,000 900 from
1883 to 1925 and had reported only
part OF the sum spent for political pur-
poses.
I'VE have not evaded the law" Nc
that"
He said that in 1928 the league had
reported political expenditures of $17S,-
600 and added that the organization
had tried to conform to the law from
the beginning"
I'VE are the first organization that
did that" he said.
Asks Copies of Reports.
At the outset of the hearing Senator
Blaine asked for copies of reports con-
tanning information Mcbride said he
had given to Government officials con-
corning candidates for Office.
The league superintendent said If
there were any records they would be
in the Washington Office, but that most
of the informa ton was given through
personal interviews or by telephone.
Pressed for instances. Mcbride said
he did not recall any specific case.
| Blaine asked If the league had taken
any action regarding the appointment
OF Roy A. Haynes, former prohibition
administrator.
That was before I became general
superintendent" Mcbride said.
The Wisconsin Senator persisted in
his inquiry and Mcbride reiterated that
he did not recall any specific instances.
That's convenient way to suppress
fact" Blaine said.
Mcbride said each State Anti-Saloon
League had its own constitution. The
Illinois State board consists of 100
members, about three-fourths of whom
were elected by church organizations.
The State board selects the members
| OF the board of the national league, he
said, after nominations had been made
by him.
League Violation Denied.
Mcbride denied the league had vio-
lated the corrupt practices act by fail
ing to report political expenditures, as
had been charged before the committee
by Representative Tinkham, Massa-
chusetts.
The witness told Blaine I'VE have
not evaded the law. I'll be glad to 60
