lows.
I'VE therefore announce our
purpose to have introduced at
the next session of the legisla-
ture an act submitting to the
qualified voters of each congress
sional district the question of
license or no license for the sale
of intoxicating liquors, at spec
ial election to be held1in 1916.
I'VE shall carry on a campaign
for the election of a legislature
committed to the enactment of
such bill, and we hereby urge
every voter who favors our cause
to vote for no candidate for the
legislature who does not publicly
commit himself to vote, if elect
ed, for such an act at the next
session of the legislature.
I'VE also urge every voter who
favors our cause to vote for no
candidates for governor who do
not publicly declare they will, if
elected, sign an act submitting
to the voters of each congression-
al district the question of license
or no license, when passed by
the legislature, and that they
will not use any influence in the
Legislature inimical to the cause
of prohibition.
And whereas, the Hon. Thos.
C. Barrett has announced as the
leading plank of his platform his
support of the above measure
and has also declared his un.
qualified support of submission
of statewide prohibition during
the next four years.
Now, therefore, be it resolv
ed. That the Louisiana Anti-Sa
loon League hereby endorses thu
Hon. T. G. Barrett as its candi
date for governor of Louisiana
and urges every loyal friend O
prohibition to give him earnes
support in the coming primar.
and general election.
Be it further resolved, Tha
we again urge all friends of pro
hibition to elect members of thu
legislature thoroughly commite'
to the enactment of these meas
lures. -
