Cover has some wear and soiling. This is a compilation of speeches, newspaper and magazine articles. The author was a former Congressman, and the Prohibition Candidate for President in 1932. In Congress, Upshaw supported the creation of the United States Department of Education and was focused on eliminating what he considered alien doctrines from public education, such as Bolshevism. He was known as the "Billy Sunday of Congress" and his "colorful, bizarre antics" as a Congressman. Upshaw was supported politically by the most powerful names in Southern Protestantism, including evangelist Bob Jones, Sr., the founder of what eventually became Bob Jones University. William David Upshaw (October 15, 1866 - November 21, 1952) served eight years in Congress (1919-1927), where he was such a strong proponent of the temperance movement that he became known as the "driest of the drys."

He made several strong speeches against the bill, making racial remarks and arguing in favor of states rights. He was a key political leader opposing to federal laws intending to crack down on the KKK.…
