| MAY NOT FORCE THE issue
Depends on Action of Legislature
on Prohibition
Caucus Action of Democratic Men,
bers Of Senate and House General
Subject of Comment-ProbabIe
Attitude Of the Local Anti-SaIoon
League.

The action of the democratic
members of the senate and house of
representatives, in caucus In Raleigh
on Tuesday night, in deciding to con-
slider bill AT the special session OF
the legislature giving the state abso-
lutte prohibition, provided this meas
ure Is ratified by popular vote at a
time later to be agreed on, as pub
lished in yesterdays paper was the
main subject OF conversation in this
city yesterday and the general opinion
seemed to be that the action taken
was the Lcst and wisest. considering
all the points, that could have been
taken.
Especial intesest was fek as 20
What effect the action of the caucus
if later ratified in or,st, session Jf the
legislature, as it likely will be, would
have on the local movement for pro-
hibitiOn.
In conversation with an official of
the anti-salOon league of this city
last night it was stated to q reporter
that the league would not formally
consider the matter or take any ac-
tion until the Legislature has passed
the bill, but this official stated that
if the measure agreed on II
was ratified by the legislature he
would favor and recommend that the
local anti-salOon league give up its
fight and allow the whole question to
be submitted to the people of the
state at a later period.
When the legislature makes known
it's action then tae executive COM
mittee Of the league will be called In
session to cOnsider. what action to
take and until that time nothing de-
finite can be stated as to it's attitude.
If the measure providing for state
prohibition is passed by vote OF the
people it will probably become effec-
xiye January 1st next, six months
later than the time set by the focal
aati-saf0on league.
In this connection it is Interesting
to note that the special committee or
the, board of aldermen to whom was
referred the petition for an election
on the question of prohlblaon mas
checked off all the names on the pc
ttions in comparing taem vxitr the
regratFItiDE1 books, buC$ has not yet
started the comparison of NAMES Witt
the tax books to see that the required
taxes have been paid. This Is the
hardest and most difficult apart OF the
checking OFF process and it would re-
n1ire several long sessions or the
to complete its aEduortS
labors: ,,,,c,
