| Lawyer and activist, born in Trumbull Co, Ohio, USA. He studied at Oberlin College (1895) and became a lawyer as a means of working for prohibition through the Anti-Saloon League. Deeply involved all his life in league activities in Ohio and the nation, he became a powerful lobbyist for prohibition. By 1920, when national prohibition went into effect, he and his allies already had campaigned successfully for restrictive liquor legislation in 33 states. |
