Local Option COmpnigns.
The Virginia Anti-Saloon League
from Its organization until this good
day. has favored the principle of local
option as the best method of carrying
on the work OF temperance educat ton
in the State of Virginia. by that
method retaining as much as pos
sible of our territory from the do
minion Of the open saloon, while pre-
pairing the way for final movement
that would result In the total abolition
of the liquor traffic from the Com
moHwealth. Under this method most
substantial and gratifying progress
has been made.
Since our last convention. eleven
months ago, sixteen local option cleo
lions have been held, in the cities of
Petersburg. Bristol. Radford. Staun-
ton. Roanoke, and Charlottesville: the
towns OF Franklin, Shenandoah, Har-
risonburg, Rocky Mount, Blackstone,
Woodstock. Buena Vista, Berryville
and Leesburg, and the magisterial
district containing the Blue Ridge
Springs Hotel.I
An analysis of these elections show
that one dry city (Bristo) and one
dry town (Shenandoah) have voted
