W. C. T. U. IS NOT ACTING
Considers It None of Its Business Whether There Is Wine at the White House Wedding. Lockport, N. Y., Feb. 9.—“ Whether or not wine is served at the wedding breakfast of Alice Roosevelt Is none of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union's business,” declared Frances W. Graham, of this city, president of the state W. C. T. U. “Yes. I know that some western branches of the union have protested against wine at the wedding of President Roosevelt’s daughter, but I assure you that such actiou wns not sanctioned by the state or national organization. “So far as I know none of the New York state unions is contemplating such a protest. It would not be countenanced at all. The majority of the unions in the country- realize the impropriety of such action.”
