Wilson Writes BleaSe.

President Wilson addressed letter
to Gov. Blesse informing him that he
would request the department of in
ternal revenue to advise him on the
feasibility and the law in the matter
of Withdrawing federal licenses to dis
pense liquors in South Carolina. The
president stated that the matter is
"most important"
On June 9, Governor Blease wrote
letter to President Woodrow Wilson
requesting him to take up the matter
of the issuance Of revenue licenses in
this state. He cited to the president
the local option dispensary law operat-
ing in eight counties of this state;
and took the position that if revenue
licenses were issued only to the dis
pensaries, which are the only jnstitu-
tions authorized under the state
statutes to selling Intoxicating liquors
and beverages, much of the illicit dis
pensing of liquor would be stopped
in this state.
In case there is a federal law re.
quiring the issuance of revenue
licenses, Governor Blease requested
the president to send special mes
sage to the congress requesting such
law that will prevent the anamolous
condition Of the United States gov
eminent sanctioning the illicit sale of
liquor in "dry" territory.
President Wilson's letter to Gov.
Blease follows:
June -. 1913.
My Dear Governor Blease:.
The matter to which you call my
attention in your letter Of June 8 is
most important. I, shall with pleasure
take it up at once with the proper
officials here, and shall request that
they advise me in the matter inln edi-
stely. Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Woodrow Wilson.
