}}Charles A. Windle (September 9, 1866 – January 5, 1934) was a Chicago journalist and opponent of prohibition.[1][2]

Windle was born in Ethel, Missouri. He became editor of William Brann's Iconoclast in 1903;[1][3][4] the magazine changed its title to The Liberal in 1926, and Windle remained editor until his death.[1] According to Frank Luther Mott, a historian of American magazines, Windle was "a picturesque and violent writer, in the Brann tradition".[4] He began running anti-prohibition columns in the magazine in 1911, and continued to criticize it throughout the dry era,[1] publishing several pamphlets in that cause, including "The Case Against Prohibition".[2] He was one of the founders of the Association Opposed to Prohibition, and debated "Pussyfoot" Johnson, a well-known prohibitionist, in Scotland. He was married and had three sons and a daughter.[1] His son, C. Pliny Windle, became business manager of the magazine after World War I, and then associate editor, finally taking over the magazine after his father's death.[4]

He was well-known as a campaigner for Democratic candidates, speaking extensively in Illinois and Iowa on behalf of William Jennings Bryan.[3]
