EXTRA SESSION REQUESTED
Western Methodist Wants State
wide Submitted.
Church Organ Scores statutory" Leaders
Charging them with Defeat
of Legislation

Little Rock, May THE fol
lowing editorial appears IN today S
issue of the Western Methodist:
when the present legislature
of Arkansas met there was III that
body clear majority for submit
ting the question Of state wide pro-
hibition to a vote of the people, a
clear majority in both branches OF
the legislature. The democratic
party had made the pledge in its
platform that the question would
be submitted. The day never was
when majority both i'll the house
and in the senate would not have
upheld the pledge of the platform,
if they should be brought face to
face with the simple issue of sub
mission. The Anti Saloon League,
at whose instance sdch a plank
was placed in the platform, was
insisting that the platform be car
ried out. The governor message
asked for precisely the same thing.
Why then has it not been done!
This is the answer: Certain men
who proclaimed themselves trner
friends of temperance than the
Anti Saloon League, and who
claimed to know more about how
to do things than the AntiSaloon
League, appeared at the legislature
and insisted that statute be pass
ed outright, saying that the pur-
pose to submit the question was a
political subterfuge. They got
together a number of members of
the Legislature who agreed that an
immediate statute could be passed.
Nearly everybody connected with
the Anti Saloon Leaue insisted that
while such bill could be passed in
the house it would be found utterly
impossible to pass it through the
senate. The editors of the Western
Methodist in particular earnestly
protested against sacrificing the
certainty of submission for the
slenderest sort of a chance of an
immediate statute. But the social
ed statutory people were immovable
and determined to make the fight
on their line. Members of the Anti
Saloon League did not teel that
they could afford to fight against
their efforts, and so stand before
the legislature as a house divided
against itself. Some of us agreed

legislations at this session for their
pains. They have cut up a clear
submission majority by Stub
bornly insisting upon something
for which there never was any
hope of majority.
1--WE say to the whisky minority
now blocking the Senate: Your
names are written down, and no
wretched subterfuge by which you
hope to cover your acts will avail
you, you shall stand on the record
of having defeated the will of your
party and the known will of the
people.
1--WE say to our governor tina.
the situation will amply justify the
calling of an extra session, for the
thing demanded by the platform,
plain and simple submission
measure, has never vet had day
in court, II stands as an unre-
deemed pledge. Both party idel-
ity and loyalty to public interest
demand that this pledge shall be
redeemed. We ask every reader
of this paper who takes this view
of the case to write Immediately to
the governor Do it Immediately,
without the delay of single day
Write that he may know whether
the people desire the extra session,
a session In which the Legislature
will be confined to the issues
named i'll the call.

that we would simply stand aside
and let the so-called statutory peo-
pie make their effort, agreeing to
throw no obstruction in their way.
The editors of the Western Metho-
dist were among this number.
Some of us, who thought there
might be chance for them to win
agreed to help them develop their
case. We waited on them till about
the first of April. They had agreed
that in the event they could not
make Roadway they would all turn
to US and help us put through a
submission measure. The result
was first the Gam bill, stat
utory" measure, which the house
passed, and which the senate
amended into a submission meas
ure, which in this condition lost
about all its friends. and which,
had it been passed in any form
would, in our Judgment have LET.
sixty counties in Arkansas in worse
condition than they are in under
local option for it would have
opened the way for little cheap
"drugsiores" throughout the state,
with a barrel of whiskey in the
back ends of them. Still, the
statutory" men hung on. The
house went into numerous factions,
member after member introducing
a bill and mastering following
for it. And still the statutory"
men held cn-pitial lyl After their
efforts had become in the judg-
ment of some of us All open farce
we opened operations with the SEN
ate to get a simple submission
measure passed and sent down to
the house, as the only possible
means of drawing together the
them warning factions there. But
Just at this jnnCture the capitol
bill and the bill! for the removal of
the state university got into the
senate, and completely absorbed
the attention of that body until
last Tuesday morning.
By this time the calandar was
loaded, and the only way to reach
the submission question is to call
it up out of its order, which re-
quires a two thirds vote. But
two thirds vote we have never had,
and a shrewd whisky majority is
seeing to it that we shall never
get it. To put it in single SEN
tence: The statutory" men have
managed to cut up our submission
majority till we have reached the
point where a whisky minority can
do the rest. That is exactly the
situation.
I'VE say to our Jealous "statu-
tory" people that they possibly
have the defeat OF all temperance
