The Origin of Indiana's Dry Leader: The Reverend Edward S. Shumaker and Midwestern Dry Culture1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 November 2010
Abstract
This article examines the dry crusade that brought Prohibition to the nation by tracing the early life and career of one of its chief state-level leaders. Born in Ohio and raised in Illinois, Edward S. Shumaker made a career for himself in Indiana, where he led the Indiana branch of the Anti Saloon League from the early 1900s until his death in 1929. His story demonstrates how religious and cultural influences merged in the American heartland into a moral reform movement that combined elements of traditional religion and politics with the Social Gospel and progressivism. As Shumaker saw it, the prohibition movement rested upon a fundamental argument about what it meant to be an American during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A powerful force in Shumaker's life as in the nation overall, the dry reform transformed Shumaker from a young man seemingly destined to hold a conventional Methodist pastorate into a political activist who helped make the nation dry.

Jr, American Temperance Movements: Cycles of Reform (Boston, 1989), 61–94Google Scholar. While the women of the WCTU, like Murphy, were very influential during the late nineteenth century in the dry crusade, they would see their position challenged and eventually replaced by the men of Shumaker's generation, who were increasingly worried about the “feminization” of Christianity. See, for example, Putney, Clifford, Muscular Christianity: Manhood and Sports in Protestant America, 1880-1920 (Cambridge, MA, 2003)Google Scholar. In 1880, the Western Christian Advocate advertised over one hundred books for Sunday school libraries from the National Temperance Society. See Western Christian Advocate, July 7, 1880Google Scholar. Though the record is scant, it is possible that Murphy represented yet another branch of dry culture. During the late nineteenth century there was a strong, if small, movement centered among mostly Irish Catholics, to fight demon rum. The Catholic Total Abstinence Union thrived in Indiana and there was a small group of Irish immigrants living in Switzerland County.
