Tazewell, Va, Oct. l6, 1911.
Hon. w. P. Payne,
Bandy, Va.
Dear Sir:-In view of the fact that
you are candidate to represent the
people of this legislative district in the
next session of the General Assembly of
Virginia, you are hereby respectfully
requested to give your position on the
two following items of legislation which
the Antl-Saloon League of Virginia will
present to the next Legislature for
enactment, viz:
First: In event a bill is introduced in
the General Assembly restricting the
privilege granted IN liquor license to
the sale of Intoxicating liquor in those
places only where lincenses can be le-
gally granted, and to the shipment of
Intoxicating liquors to those parts only
where licenses have already been grant
ed, thus carrying out the principle of
local option law to its logical conclusion.
and thus preventing the qualification of
the express will of the people in dry
territory by the jug trade, will you. or
will you not, vote for such bill?
Second: In the event a bill is pre-
sented providing for an enabling act
which will authorize the holding of an
election upon the question of a State
wide prohibitory law, whenever said
election is demanded by twenty-five per
cent of the qualified voters of the State,
will you, or will you not, in such event
vote for such bill?
Most respectfully submitted by re-
quest of the Anti-Saloon League of Vir-
ginia.
j. N. HARMAN,
President of Tazewell County Anti. Sa-
loon League.
MR.. PAYNE's REPLY.

Islature November 7. 1911, will en-
deavor to represent my constituents to

Jointly indicted. Henry Pruitt de-
mandgd severance and asked to be

he could do this. The state could
not develop it's case, under the rules
