Since our last convention met, great

by congress when our last convention

few days after that convention ad-

the presidents veto by an extraordtn-

Report Of Legislative Committee
Shows Good Work For Enabling Act

and we shall ask the people to elect
a general assembly, instructed to
pass such legislation as will make 1t
possible to get rid of this nuisance by
May J., 1915, or by July /. 1915, at
the latest. Today on the steps OF the
capitol building OF Virginia we serve
definite notice upon the liquor traffic
to set its house in order. for 1t shall
die and not live after the people OF
Virginia have had an opportunity 70
express their sovereign will.
Additional Legislation.
Your committee Is heartily in favor
OF the recommendations Of the gov
ernor Of Virginia to pass a law pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor from sun
set to sunrise, and also law pro-
hibiting what Is known among us as
the jug trade. We al o agree with
his message that law should be
passed, giving to the governor some
real authority to see that the laws OF
the State Of Virginia are enforced.
We have not deemed 1t wise. however,
to offer any resolutions or to discuss
at length. these subjects in this re-
port Indeed we have thought 1t to
be better to discuss only the one
great issue which has been before the
people of the State to the exclusion
OF practically every other temperance
we have also thought 1t wise in dis
cussing that issue to confine our
selves to the presentation of the facts
as they exist today. and. therefore, we
have not entered into any discussion
of any of the objections which have
been urged by the opponents of the
bill, as we believe that all these qnes-
tions have been discussed before the
people. for the people. for the past
four years. and they have given their
verdict by what our arch-enemy. the
Times Dispatch, declares to be a vast
majority. and we respectfully suggest
for the consideration of the advocates
of ahe liquor traffic. that the longer
the question is deferred, the more
drastic the legislation adopted is IKE
ly to be.
Your committee Is constrained.
however, to include in this report
some mention of the great and sig
nifieant advances which have been
made in the field of nationwide pro-
hibition, not only in Virginia, but ell
over the land. The tide Is rising to
the flood, and We are today face to
face not only with the question OF

delegates. pledged to the enactment
Of such legislation as will bring prac-
teal Statewide prohibition into effect
by May J.. 1916, or at the latest by
July /, 1915. In other words, we do
not believe that a refusal upon the
part OF the present senate TO respond
to the demands of the people will
iengthen the life Of the traffic OF
intoxicants in Virginia The enabling
act provides that the liquor traffic
shall not be prohibited before May
1. 1915. and this provision has been
made to serve notice and TO give am
pie time for the owners OF property.
used for the manufacture and sale
sof liquor. to adjust properly their
investments. We have endeavored to
be fair, but we do not propose to be
trtfled with, or to allow the liquor
traff1c to take advantage OF our mod
GRAFTON. If the enabling act shall be
defeated. and all legislation be pre-
vented until the general assembly of
1916, we here and now serve notice,
and give ample warning to the brew
ers, dist4iiers and safoonkeepefS- OF
Virginia, that the advocates of State
wide prohibition will make an ag-
gresstve fight In every Legislative and
senatorial district 10 elect delegates
iati0n which will make it possible for
khE traffic to be destroyed by the date
iEdicated above.
4 We desire to make our position per-
fectly clear on this question We
earnestly desire to remove the prohf-
bttion issue from the realm OF politics.
and to place it with the people as a
distinct moral issue, entirely apart
from legislative action We believe
that the saloon should be removed,
once for ALL az an Influence In the po-
iitical life of Virginia 1t befouls and
besmirches everything 1t touches, and
1t should be driven out from the leg
jslative halls OF the capitol of Viz
ginia- and be compelled to face the
people in open battle at the polls.
We therefore greatly prefer the adop-
ton of an enabling act which viii
Alace the matter entirely in the hands
n the people 10 determine as TO them
shall seem best but 1t the advocates
OF the liquor traffic are not willing
that this course shall be followed.
we on our part are not willing to
defer for four years longer the aholi-
ton OF the liquor traffic in Virginia.
