prohibiting shipments Of liquor into

clause also will be prepared pro
hibiting the publication Of liquor ad-
vertisements in Georgia newspapers.
The conference follows fast upon
the heels of the election of Randolph

Senate, which the temperance people
regard as a victory inasmuch as Mr..
Anderson has said that. as an in
dividual Senator. he considers such
bill proper legislation President
Anderson further said temperance

for the league Wednesday morning,
had the following to say
Have Anderson "Sewed."
We regard Mr.. Anderson's election
as a virtual victory for the temper
ance cause, for he has practically
committed himself to our views by
his statements in regard to the Webb
bill as well as that concerning the
passage Of bill prohibiting the. pub
lication of liquor advertisements.
In other words, we have Mr.. An
derson, who has been more or less an
tagontstlc to our cause, practically
sewed up in a rag and we will pro-
coed to push our cause with more
vigor than ever.
We believe the public expressions
from the two candidates for the
Presidency of the Senate did us far
| more good than if we had put out a
candidate, for then many prohibition
lists who favored personally either Mr.
Allen, a lukeWarm prohibitionist OF
Mr.. Anderson. antagonistic, would
have been disgruntled TO such an ex-
tent that perfect harmony would not
have prevailed in our fight for the
bill. We have every hope of getting
the bill through.
Both Favored Bill.

Mr.. Anderson said that in view of
