Der. tho whole OF the Virginia con-

When the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch asked the Virginia representa-
tives In congress for their views on
Statewide, the campaign was far ad-
vanced. Up TO that time no special
point had been made by either side
as TO the position of the congressman,
and our opinion Is that had they ad-
vertised their views at that late date
and thus allowed themselves to be
made use of one way or the other.
they would have violated the rules of

and the votes cast and counted. a
statement came out of Washington
that a large majority of the States

this statement was not In accordance
with the facts the representatives
wrongly affected by 1t naturally want
ed TO be set straight. Any other man
i'm the same situation would have had

Therefore. we fail to see wherein
Virginia representatives have been

they had avowed themselves frankly
on the Statewide issue before the cam

we do not blame them one bit for OBJ

leaders The liquor question in the
State OF Virginia was settled at the
polls last Tuesday and nothing re-
mains except the enforcement OF the
law.
when the election was gone into,
1t was understood that the Anti

that proposition, and it was further
understood that those who had money
invested In the business would be
rIven until the date named IN the en-
abling act to close up their business.

Virginia should enter upon State

giving his utmost support to the en-

only way to make il effective and it
is the way Firginians should take.
