NORFOLK. VA. September 22.-J.
w. Hough, president OF the Virginia
Anti-Saloon League. gave out the
following statement night:
w nile 1t WAS Il glorious victory.
~ is about what we expected OF
Virginia voters. The result is suni-
cient evidence that the effort TO con
IuSe the issue in various ways
1aileu IN it's purpose.
The partnership OF Virginia
voters with the liquor traffic is for
ever dissolved. rho next step will
be not the tobacco issue" but Il
concerted effort to elect officials
everywhere who are favorable To
law enforcement, and who can he
depended upon to make prohibition
Legislation thoroughly effective.
In the meantime, the liquor sell
ers and THEIR employees have ample
time to get into more useful lines OF
ly that no men or organization will
more checrfully and earnestly assist
these men to do so than the State
anu city Anti Saloon Leagues.
Throughout the entire campaign
the records will show that our light
has been on tho liquor traffic. not
on the men concerned with il.
The result In Norfolk is exceed
ingly gratifying, especially AS Nor
folk has been considered one of the
wet spots in Virginia. The large
vote for prohibition guarantees an
ample public sentiment to secure
most rigid law enforcement"

There was an utter absence OF the

prohibitionists in other States on the
occasion of Statewide and local cleo
lions. In North Carolina cities, on the
occasion of the prohibition election
several years ago, bands OF marching
women and white apparellcd children
made an emotional appeal to the voters
and sought 10 inject personal note
into the contest.
Richmond women stayed away from
the polls. Except for their participa-
