Nov. 11, 1927 Columbus Citizen PAGE 2 SAYS M'DONALD SHOULD RESIGN HERBERT Renews Charge That Dragon Was Dry Agent -- Says Vic Misquoted State Senater Paul M. HERBERT who has been carrying on a "paper barrage" against the Antisaloon League thru B.F. McDONALD, state prohibition commissioner, now thinks the commissioner should resign. HERBERT brings out again the charge that D.C. STEPHENSON, former Indiana Klan dragon, now serving life in prison, was at one time an agent for the State Prohibition Department. Was Discharged There has never been any secrecy to the former employment of STEPHENSON by the state. It was during the period when "card agents" were allowed and there were several hundred such inspectors. STEPHENSON was let out by the department two months before he got into trouble in Columbus when a room in which he was having a "party" was raided in Columbus by local police. The case was never prosecuted because the hotel refused to file complaint after the damage to the room was paid for. State Inspectors were not in the raid, McDONALD has pointed out. It Was DUSTMAN HERBERT accuses McDONALD of giving out a statement that Governor DONAHEY was in favor of the Marshall bill. This is refuted by the information known at the time of the statement that Freeman L. DUSTMAN, Antisaloon League editor, conferred with DONAHEY on the afternoon of Nov. 2. McDONALD's department has been subservient to the Antisaloon League, according to HERBERT, who also intimates now that another "religious bloc" controlled McDONALD. The vote on the Marshall bill was so decisive that bloc control has been repudiated and therefore "McDONALD should resign," according to HERBERT.
