DRYS WANT STATE ELECTION

Special % The Washington Herald.
Richmond Va. June 24-People in the
! southwest section Of the State are dis
gruntled at the recent decision Of the
| State corporation commission IN the Ro-
anoke liquor cases.
AS a result they will inaugurate a
! movement 10 have the State vote on the
question Of prohibiting the sale Of liquor
