A particularly. hard blow to President Hoover, the Republican National Committee and the Anti-Saloon League of America was the defeat of Dry Republican Senator (by appointment) Roscoe Conkling McCulloch by Wet Democrat Robert Johns Bulkley.

For this new professional post, with $15,000 salary, Robert H. Lucas, now Commissioner of Internal Revenue in the Treasury Department...
