Anto-Saloon League Sanguine.

officers of the Anti-Saloon League are
beginning to figure on what strength
they will have in the aext senate. They
have received the complete returns from
the election, and have analyzed them to
their way of thinking. The claim is
being made that there are seven or
eight members of the upper branch of
the legislature who voted against the en-
abling act at the last session who avow-
ed that if their districts elected dry"
men to the house in the November cleo
ton they would take that as indication
that their people wanted them to vote for
the enabling act at the coming session.
These senators now find themselves con-
fronted with men in the house who are
pledged to vote for the enabling act. and
the lines are being so drawn that the
senator's will have a hard time expIainins
the why's in case they should hesitate
to carry out the promises and the mani
fest desire of the people whom they rep
resent.
The "drys" are claiming that they will
have more than enough TO pass the
measure when it comes from the house,
where it Will have great majority.
IT am in the race, and while l am in
will say that / am too old in the game of
politics to be forced out by the claims of
other candidates and their friends. When
the final ballot is taken it will be found
that I am very much in the running"
Judge Martin Williams of Giles made this
statement in Connection with the race for
the speakership, in which there are four
recognized aspirants-Edwin P. Cox of
Richmond, Hugh A. White of Rockbridge.
Walter T. Oliver of Fairfax and Judge
Williams. Judge Williams friends place
much dependence. in the attitude of the
dry" members of the house, claiming
that in order to get advantage of the big
vote which has come to them it is best for
them to elect a speaker who will be re-
sponsive to their views on that subject.
