dence of the rapid growth of senti-
ment throughout the nation in favor

Virginians geenrally were greatly in
terested because of the lineup OF the
state delegation in Congress and the
efforts made to bring all ten congress
men into line. Baptist. Methodist and
Christian Ministers of Richmond were
strongly In favor Of the amendment as

DR. Cannon On the Job.
One of the most energetic workers
among virginians and one OF the lead
ers OF the nation at the capitol was DR.
James Cannon. Jr., Chairman of the
Legislative Committee Of the Anti-Sa-
loon League OF America. DIR. Cannon
was in Washington several days last
week and for the first two days OF this
week. Together with his colleagues
of the committee. DIR. Bartonsand Mr..
Wheeler, he was active in interviewing
the members of the House.
The result was about as DR.. Cannon
and others in touch with the situation
had expected Several days ago In an
article in the Richmond Christian Ad-
vocate, DR.. Cannon intimated that a
j two thirds vote for the resolution could
hardly be expected on this the nrst
trial OF strength. and pointed out that
| even a majority vote would be \ moral
victory.
Fight Has Just Begun.
The fight, OF course. has just begun.
Cheered by the fact OF securing an ac-
tual majority OF those voting the Anti
, Saloon League Of America and other
temperance and prohibition organixa-
tions and leaders will doubtless have
