An Appeal to Party Feeling.

An enlarged copy OF an editorial taken from
the Virginian entitled When Rogues Fail
Out with a few words calling attention 70
the fact that the Nirgnian Is the leading pro-
hibition organ in the State received Thurs
day by prominent Republican of this city.
The object sought To induce the gentleman
and his friend TO vote against prohibition be-
cause the title Of the editorial In the Nirginian
seemed II reflect the Republican and Pro-
gressive parties in the Ninth district The
editorial itself is not only not offensive but is
about as tame as il could be
Very few of these circulars were sent to this
section Of the State where Republicans few
in number but t is safe to wager that they
went by the hundreds to Mr.. Slemp's district
which is Overwhelmingly for prohibition
We venture the assertion that the distrbu-
t!on Of this editorial will have no more effect
than the distribution OF anti Republican
editorial from any pro-whiskey Democratic
paper would have on Republicans who are In
cHned to vote against prohibition. The fight
for prohibition is not a fight OF parties II is
outside of party lines 1t is based on a much
higher plane than the average party platform
Any attempt to inject feeling into the contest
will fail T. should fail
The anti-prohibitop people and the liquor
interests are indeed hard put to It when they
use such silly. Anticipated and transparent
methods to Influence public opinion The
liquor interests, as everybody knows are for
that party which VIII show them the most
faVors. Has the whlskey traffic better de-
iciSe tlth an appear 10 partisan feeltng9 If
this is the last resort of the daily weakening
power OF the whiskey people, they are indeed
In bad straits. Has the personal liberty ap-
peal failed to accomplish its purpose?
If prohibition is undesirable it's enemies the
defenders OF the saloon and its allied interests
should appeal to mems minds. If they can An
appeal to partisan feeling and prejudice will
amount to nothing. AS the campaign has been
conducted by the whisl<ey people, they have
only hastened the singing of the requiem over
