Howard Hyde Russell (1855-1946), was the founder of the Anti-Saloon League. Following a religious conversion, he gave up the practice of law to become a minister. In 1893 he organized the Ohio Anti-Saloon League. In 1895, when the Anti-Saloon League was established at the national level, Russell was elected superintendent. He mentored future leaders of the league, including Wayne Wheeler and Ernest Cherrington.

Russell also established the Lincoln-Lee Legion to promote the signing of temperance pledges by children and other young people. He is reported to have raised five million dollars to promote the temperance movement.
