through its authorized officials, mas
addressed a letter to each member
of congress stating that while the
league stands for ultimate prohibition
everywhere it now believes that il
is neither possible to secure nor wise
to ask for absolute prohibition for
the District of Columbia. The League
requests, however, that congress will
provide for local option in residence
districts. There are many good peo-
pie who believe that under existing
conditions in Texas local option is
better than state prohibition.
