Dear Sir and Brother have been
actively connected with the campaign
for Statewide prohibition from the
first day, and with the AMI Saloon
League since Nov /, 1905, in various
capacities.
have. to the best OF my ability,
given honest and conscientious ser
vice 10 the cause. aud tried under all
circumstances to be loyal to the leas,
ue Others can best judge as TO The
measure OF success have attained in
this endeayor
This relation has been a pleasant
one, and l have learned to entertain
the highest respect Tor yourself ana
those connected with the League
l shall always render every pos,
sible service and give all possible en-.
couragemant to the Antl-Saloon
League in its endeavor to drive sa.
looms from Texas.
My devotion is as great to that
cause today and my heart As warm IL
that service as ever. / feel, however,
that for the present | can be worth
more to the cause OF Statewide prohi.
biuon If freed from Official connection
with the And-Saloon League.
1t has become apparent in the pres
ent race for the Goyernorship, the
Antisaloon League will not declare {
self and intends TO maintain a neutral
position. AS to the wisdom of this
course, | raise no question. believe,
however, that the success OF State
wide prohibition within the next four
years depends upon the election OF
Cone Johnson for Governor. see no
hope of success through any othe.
candidate now before the people,
Had the Anu-saloon League offic
tally declared for him, should have
remained with my present work. This
the league has failed to do although
the board OF trustees and advisory
committee are personally largely fo-
Johnson.
Under the circumstances, not visa
ing either to embarrass you or TO
hamper myself, and feeling that my
obligation to the state and to the
cause OF Statewide prohibition de-
mands my active support OF Cone
Johnson for Governor. / hereby ten.
der you my resignation from the Anti.
Saloon League in my active capacity.
With the greatest respect,
ARTHUR W. JONES.
