SENATOR JOHN !. cox
viii Act in Accordance With the
Wishes Of Bristol Anti-SaloOn-
ista.

Upon being advised Of the result OF
the election at Bristol on Friday, Sen
ator John I. Cox, who represents the
Second District, in which Bristol is
situated, said: II have always taken
the position that the question Of the
sale OF liquor In any community
should be settled by the voters there
OF, and have repeatedly stated that
| was ready TO act whenever the voters
of Bristol expressed themselves at the
polls on the question of saloon aboli
ton. l have not changed by position.
Five hundred and thirty-eight votes,
the vote given the dry side in the
election Friday, is good majority OF
the legally qualified voters of Bris-
tol. and 1t is a larger number of votes
than is usually cast in municipal
elections in that city.
Having received an expression
from a majority OF the voters OF the
city, shall act accordingly, and shall
have passed through the Senate at an
early date a bill to abolish the char
ter of Bristol, Tenn. would, how
ever, have preferred that the election
in Bristol, Va. had been called at an
earlier date, so that the question
could have been finally settled In both
cities before the adjournment Of the
Legislature, However. the people Of
my city have acted and shall be
governed by their instruction"
