port Mr.. Tucker for the Office of
Governor. In this position, Mr..
Beasley Is not alone. We have
reason 10 believe that more than one
official or agent of the Anti-Saloon
League feels that he cannot con
scientiously cast his ballot for
Judge Mann, but they are not so
situated as to publicly proclaim
their convictions.
Here is how some of these men
view the situation, the words being
those of Editor Beasley in TIL,
weeks issue of the South Boston
News:
From the time Rev. James
Cannon had that conference with
Senator Martin in regard to what
action should be taken by the Anti
Saloon League, at Norfolk, on GER
tain resolutions prepared to be
acted upon in that body, it has
been evident that the league has
drifted in to politics. pure and
simple, and the organization is
being used to advance the interests
of Judge William Hodges Mann.
IN his aspirations to be Governor
of Virginia.
Hand in hand and shoulder TO
shoulder, Senator Martin, at the
head of the Democratic party
machine, to which a large proper
ton of the liquor dealers belong.
and Rev. James Cannon. superin-
tendent of the Anti-SaIoon League,
composed almost entirely of church
members and Sunday school work
ers, are using every device to
secure the election of Judge Mann.
Willthe people of Halifax allow
themselves to be duped by such
methods"-RichmOnd Journal.
