The replies TO the same. briefly stated.
are as follows:
Isl. The PHO; does not know and is
not anxious TO know now the Prohibit

I'd. That if there was a Prohibition
Ring the PHO: would know all The Viz

| From the above 1t will be seen that
the replies of the Pilot are exceedingly
vague. indefinite and evasive 1t re-
mains to BE- seen If 1t will be equally
so in its replies to the queries of the
Virginian proposed in its issue of yes

LIST. Will there be Il Prohibition tick
ct in the field for city Offices and Coun-
cilmen In the coming May election.
I'd. If the Prohibition executive or
ganization, tha; claimed the victory of
May, 1924. II Prohibition victory, has not
the courage to stand forth for principle,
will IL not be a mongrel body-a trading,
huilling-WHAT IS IT. ANYHOW?
1t is possible that The Pilot will an
swcr the questions of The Virsinan by
asking other questions similar to those
1t presented In its issue OF the 18th. such
as: who is the Ring nominee for
Mayor" and. who are the other Ring
nominees as far as slated?" and, "Who
will compose the Primary Electoral
Board. or is that not yet nxed?" and
What is the candidates admission
fee?" and if THE boys" have been rec

sugartd?"

When, however. The Pilot quericd
The Virginan, under the head of n

The Nirginian favored the scrutinzing

parties having candidates to be voted
for in the election" 1t did not take The
Firginian n moment 10 make the reply:
Enthusiastically, it favors the PROPOSE

an honest. fair and true count OF the
vote of the electors"
When It intimatsd that The Virginian
did not agree with the letter OF Mr..
Myers, of May %, 1894, The Virginian
met the intimation, promptly replying,
that is did agree with the letter, when
II first appeared in print and now; that
noble defense of the greatest preroga-

The only other questions propounded
by the Pilot to The V:rginian, those in
its issue of 1Ith. viz: Where Is the
Prohibition Ring? Who Composes it?
What mas 1t done? What is 1t doing +?
Wha. nominations has it made? WAC
has it noeninated? All so singular.
that The Nirginian. commenting upon
them, remarked: What do these que
