ENTER RACE
FOR CONGRESS
Against Adam Littlepaue in the
Third District of This
State.

CHARLESTON, April 2O.-Interest
in the contest for the Democratic
nomination for Congress In the Third
district Is greatly Increased by the
announcement that Attorney A. NJ
BeIcher, OF this city, has decided to
enter the race. Belcher is a young
attorney who served a term in the
House Of Delegates from Kanawha
county and gave his support to the
election Of Clarence w. Watson and
William z. Chiffon as United States
senators. He later gained some prom
inence by becoming one of the attor-
neys for the United Nine Workers of
America, being associated with Harold
w Houston, the Socialist, at the time.
BeIcher's activity in behalf of the
miners won for him wide reputation
as a lawyer for young man.
The entry of Belcher has caused
some uneasiness among the followers
of ex-Congressman Adam b. Iittlepage
who is expected to announce his can
didacy almost any time. Followers of
Littlepage also received a jolt recent
ly when Attorney Vernon G. Champe,
OF Montgomery, began covering the
district with letters to ascertain
whether his candidacy would be ser
iousIy considered II formally an
nounced. Champe halls from F'ayette
county, where Littlepage received such
a hattering vote from the miners when
he broke the chain OF victories that
had been following Joseph Holt
Gaines, and became the first Demo-
crat to represent the Third congress
sional district for more than a dozen
years.
Belcher's entrance into the race,
carrying with it the persistency and
fighting qualities he has displayed in
legal battles during the last two years,
means a contest of more than ordinary
interest In Kanawha county to decide
whether old Kanawha favors Belcher
or Littlepage.

CAN SERVE LIQUORS
TO GUESTS IN HOME

Ny answer to that part of the ques-
ton, whether one can give liquor to a
member of his family, was in the af-
-hrmative. OF course, by family"
meant his own immediate family.
Answering that part ofthe question,
whether one may give liquor to a Wis
itor, answered that he would do so at
his peril. There is a distinction be-
tween guest-a guest in good faith,
in the sense Of the term as have used
it, and the term visitor" as one who
calls to get liquor, or goes for such
purposes. Certainly he who gives
liquor to such visitor acts at his ex.
IRENE peril, and the burden will al
ways be upon him to show his good
faith in the transaction and that the
same was entirely free from (a) keep
ing of liquors at his home for unlawful
purposes, and Obj that the giving was
in good faith to a person not under
disability and not for the purpose OF
In any way evading any provision OF

To Guests Just as Freely as One
Serves Coffee Now to
Them Says Blue.

In response to an inquiry, State Tax
Commissioner Blue has settled much
mooted controversy regarding the new
prohibition laws effective in West Vir-
ginia after July 1, whether one may
in his home treat his friends to In
toxicating liquors. Mr.. Blue an
syyers the question in the affirmative.
His reply in full is as follows:
'sAs to giving liquor to a guest,
there is nothing in the law that pre-
vents one in his private home giving
liquor to a guest in the same social
way he serves coffee, water, milk,
bread, or meat, provided that In no
way, shape or form, it Is gu1se or
scheme, or intended to be, for the
sale, barter or trade of liquors by tne
host to the guest. ANY attempt TO
give liquor to q guest as a scheme or
device to affectuate sale is, OF course
a violation OF the law.
Must Not Be Distributing Place.

dertakes to use. distribute or permit
to be used or distributed with or to

other persons have Jointly purchased
or Jointly acquired, thereby making

Honor. such use, purchase and distri-
button would be violation of section
6, which prohibits persons associating
with one another in the buying and
distribution OF liquors and both would
be subject to penalties provided by
Law.
ssNow. as to the fishing camp ques-
ton, it seems to me the law Is clear
that one to keep liquors on mis- Own
premises must keep them there for his
own lawful use He cannot associate
himself with another in keeping IL
quors at his home or elsewhere. Any
attempt to do so, or any attempt e
acquire Jointly with another and theT
to distribute such liquor, regardless o
where they are distributed, Is a viola
