King George. Va. May IL. 1911.
Rev j. II. Newbill.
Shiloh. Va.
Dear Mr. Newbill:
have received your letter. en-
closing the letter of the Anti-Saloon
League. which note is signed by
a number Of the citizens Of this
county. fully agree with the
Statement that every candidate
should be ready and willing TO ex-
press freely his position upon every
matter of interest to the voters
whose suffrage he solicits have
carefully examined the two ques-
tions contained in the letter men
toned and am ready to answer them
as fully and freely as know how.
In regard to the first question. if
! understand its purpOrt correctly,
my answer is Yes, will vote for
such a bill" / understand the ques-
ton to mean that the privilege of
selling intoxicating liquors under a
license would be restricted to sales
in such places only where liquor
license could be legally granted. and
that such liquors could only be ship
ped to those places where licenses
had already been granted. | UNI
derstand that the latter prohibition
would embrace only such shipments
as are made within the State and
would not conflict i'm any way with
the laws OF the United States. as
contained in the Interstate Com
merce Acts
In regard to the second question
| would state that personally
lean towards local option as the So
luton of the liquor question.
believe that it Is wringing the
State dry, town by town, city by
city. and that It is preferable TO
more drastic legislation at this time.
| am fully aware, however, that
men who have made an exhaustive
study of this question are better In
formed as to this than | am, and
am ready to bow to their SUI
perior knowledge of the subject.
AS have stated in the card an
noucing my candidacy, shall hold
myself at all times subject to the
will of my constituency and should
such a bill as you mention be intro
duced, believing as | do that the
people OF the State have the right
to declare their will on all matters
affecting their interests, my answer
to the second question is"Yes. will
vote for such a bill"
| trust that my answers t.. the
questions which have been pro-
pounded to me are sufficiently
clear and satisfactory; if you find
any obscurity in them, shall be
glad to set it right, for I want to
be perfectly frank and open in the
matter. II my position meets with
your approval should be pleased
to hear from you and to learn the
sentiment of the League in regard
to my candidacy.
Very respectfully yours,
George Ogle Tayloe.
