Few balk.

Thus It comes about that the dry bloc, year In and year out, is the strongest legislative group of its kind which Washington has ever seen. In active charge of this bloc is bishop James Cannon, Chairman ofthe lea gue's national legislative committee. Aa boss lobbyist. Cannon considerably overshadows McBride, who is legislative superintendent as well as general superintendent, but In ho sence fills the shoes, of the late Wheeler. The Bishop may sometfmes be seen in the galleries, but he has no need to buttonhole members of Congress.

They come to bim. The bishop recently called a law to brand buyers of liquor as criminals. Just as sellers of liquor are already branded. Senator Sheppanl of Texas promptly drafted such a bill and it was introduced with Bishop Cannon's approval. Naturally enough, there are any number of senators and congressmen who like to introduce bills for the league because their names on such bills identify them solidly with the backbone church vote.

The league has been lobbying from offices here for 30 years and kept up National Superintendent F. Scott 51c-Bride.
