Scott McBride, league superintendent, told the senate lobby committee in a warm debate with wet committee investigator, Senator Blaine, lican, Wisconsin. Blaine charged McBride's remark was "Satrilegious and an outrageous thing." "Those things in the way the progress of the a kingdom of cold must get out of the way," the referring to ent continued, apparently the wets. "What authority hate you for claimIng a that the league is the 'son of God?"

"Oh, yes, you put on the cloak af "We do not put on a cloak-it is real religion." "I don't believe God would approve of some of your practices," returned Blaine. "I think your statement is sacrilegious and outrageous thing. That's how I feel about it." Chairman Caraway objected to this line of questioning saying men might differ about it.

"But you do have divine guidance?" Blaine persisted. "'Let's get down to lobbying," objected Senator Robinson, dry, Republican, Indiana. "Yes," said McBride, "we are entering a field that is far beyond us."

"I did not say the league did it, but. that the dry sentiment of the country did it," McBride said. "But you took credit for it?" "I gave the dry sentiment credit for it." McBride did not get as excited 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 Superintendent Wayne B. Wheeler "dictated to two presidents of the United States, dominated six congresses and controlled more patronage than any other dozen men." McBride repudiated the book although Blaine brought out Steuart: is still employed by the league. "He was secretary to Mr.
