It develops that Rev. j. H. Light
secretary of publications for the Anti

share the doubtful an,icipations Of
some members of the executive COM
mittee of the league as 10 tho success
OF the program of the organization In
the next Legislature. In statement
issued yesterday. Mr. Light says:
The impression that the executive
committee OF the Anti-Saloon League
of virginia was respondent or even
at all doubtful OF the results with re-
ference TO the Statewide referendum
In the next Legislature is altogether
erroneous.
The committee were somewhat dub.
ious of the anti-tug law. one OF tho
items OF the league program for the
year. and the data for exact statemen,
with respect to the personnel OF tho
coming Legislature was not at hand
But that anybody questions that VIC
Will get the enabling act is a mis-
take.
League Encouraged.
Indeed. so far as present informa.
ton goes, the situation, both in mum
bers gained and In general attitude, is
vast improvement over the last Leg
islature. We miss some staunch
iflends. we have gained more than
we have lost Some blatant and bitter
opponents of the cause have Teen
RELOCATED TO the rear by their consti-
tuencies and men of more reasonable
disposition substituted
Besides all that, the league has
made no effort IN a partisan or fac
tional way to elect men. The Legisla-
ture is the Legislature of the whole
State and all the people. The vast
proportion OF the people live in dry
territory, and # the members repre-
sent their own constituencies. whether
pledged or not. they can but act for
them in this matter. We cannot be-
iieve. and do not believe. that the

system, will have more influence with
the Legislature of Virginia than all
the good people and Christian people
IN the State.
The Anti-Saloon League has con-
sistently kept the whole matter out
OF politics. We sincerely hope that We
will not be forced into an active cam
paign for our peoples rights in this
matter In any future election"
