said Henry, as he watched his lead
over the senator creep upward. NO
Field ever has been defeated at

years. when he organized parades
at his Shenandoah home with

The bright green armbands which
held back the sleeves of his shirt
became known to upward of 100,-
900 persons before his campaign
ended.
Field, farmer born, never before
had been in politics. At the age of
5 he sold so cents worth of poppy
seeds to his aunt, and with that
capital started a seed house which
now is million dollar concern.

MRS. ELLA A. BOOLE. president
of the w. c. T. U.-If people de-
sire to repeal the eighteenth amend
ment they should suggest some way
that will be effective in restricting
liquor, and then will people who
have refused to obey the prohibition
law agree to obey those restric-
lions?
MISS JANE adams (of Hull
House)-I must disagree with his
premise that there has been more
drinking and crime since adoption
Of prohibition.
DIR. D. LEIGH COLVIN CHAIR
man of the Prohibition National
Committee)-It is amazing that a
man like Rockefeller should make
wild statements like that, when
latest government statistics show
that the source of liquor supply is
not over IS per cent what it was
before, and that government figures
show a decrease in crime.
FRED A. VICTOR New York

believe he or any one else can prove
by specific instances the truth OF
his general statement about in
creased crime and general lawless-
ness.
REPRESENTATIVE THOMAS L..
BLANTON Democrat, Texas, dry
leader Of the houSe)-I don't attach
any more importance to Mr.. Rookie

of anyone else. He's just one of

main in the Constitution.
SENATOR HIRAM BINGHAM
Rep.. Conn, author of many

experiment backed by the greatest
wealth in the United States has
failed in the opinion of those who
invested huge sums of money in an
attempt to regulate personal habits
Of the American people from Wash
