the Winchester common council for the

RICHMOND, Va, March IS, 1909
Unless there is steady hand at tile
wheel in Virginia politics for the next
six months the chances are that the
state will be face to face with
straightout prohibition contest. The
reasons for this belief are not hard to
find. In the first place, the local op-
tion elections which have been held
are being resisted in the courts. In the
next place, the opponents of the anti
saloon element are engaged in an asi-
tation of the question of bringing the
issue into politics and are doing all
they can to discredit the candidate of
the Anti-Saloon League. The country
districts of the state have been made
dry by acts of the general assembly and
by an expression on the part of the
voters. Some of the cities have voted
the same way. The voters in those sec
tions OF the state do not relish the wav
in which Judge Mann is being attacked
by the cities which still have the liquor
privileges and they are beginning to
say that unless these fights and attacks
are discontinued they Will force the is
sue and have the matter of statewide
prohibition decided by the people Of the
state.
The fact that more than 81 per cent
of the state Is dry at this time, with
several OF the smaller cities III the same
class, and If there is injected into the
campaign the question of prohibit On
there is no doubt where the state
Will go. Judge Mann is understood to
he opposed To prohibition. favoring 10
cal option, but If the issues are made
and the lines drawn there is no rea-
son to doubt that lie will become the
candidate of the prohibitionists.
Democrats OF the state do not want
a prohibition fight. They are in line
with the policies expressed and out
lined by Judge Mann, believing that
the question is one for the decision OF
the people in each city or county. Just
what Judge Mann would do in case he
is made governor and the general assem-
bly, should enact a statewide measure
is not known, but he Will make
"A declaration that subject
