No doubt this Elton R. Shaw was, Elton Raymond Shaw. This is his Wikipedia entry:
"Elton Raymond Shaw (1886–1955) was a churchman, author and publisher, lecturer and educator, campaigner in the prohibition and temperance movement and a naturist...
... In 1937 Elton published his book on nudism The Body Taboo: Its Origins, Effects and Modern Denial...
... Prohibition and Temperance
Shaw wrote a number of books on this topic and was an office holder in various committees including the Prohibition State Committee of Michigan (and later for Ohio) and the Intercollegiate Prohibition Association."
Here are portions of a bio of the author, Frank E. Herrick (1875-1967):
".. Herrick was a graduate of Wheaton College, class of 1899... A member of the student Prohibition Club while at Wheaton College, Herrick later stood as the Prohibition candidate for U.S. Representative from Illinois at-large in 1934 and 1936. He had been heavily involved in Prohibition Party politics and activities for many years. In 1916 he toured the country stumping for the party’s local and national candidates. The author of thousands of poems, many created for special occasions like congratulating newlyweds or soldiers, Herrick was called the “Poet Laureate of Wheaton,” a title officially bestowed upon him on his seventieth birthday by the city council in 1941."
