Answers Query OF Winchester Anti
saloon League on Temperance
Issue.

Winchester. June 24.-Responding
to a query of tine local anti-saioon
league as TO his position on prohibi-
ton legislation, Mr.. III. +. Byrd, can
eidate for the state Senate from Fred
erick County, made the following
statement.
.Jfl response to the interrogatory
from the presidents and vice. presi-
dents of the Anti-Saloon League of the
city of Winchester and the County OF
Frederick. requesting that ! make
known my position regarding certain
temperance legislation, take pleas
ure In answering this query.
IF elected to the senate. / win
vote for and actively support a gen.
eral prohihitory law drawn In ac-
eordance with the Williams enabling
act In its original form.
's1he opponents Of prohibition in the
General Assembly. in passing the en-
abling act, were successful In pre-
venting the people from voting on the
continuation or abolition of the man
ufacture of liquor as we'll as its sale.
Without doubt the voters of Vir-
ginia would have recorded their dis
approval of the manufacture of liquor
within the State by as large ma
iority rs they gave against the sale
of LIQUOR.
II favor and will support law
which will prohibit the manufacture
of whiskey. beer and wine within Vir-
ginia. to be effective simultaneously
with the abolition of the saloons, as
provided for in the prohibition ref
erendum.
Il am In full accord with the pro-
visions of the enabling act as orig
inally introduced. and will vote for
and support any legislation which will
render effective and carry out the
intentions of the original act
II am heartily in favor of a thor
ougsl enforcement Of the prohibition
laws. and will support a practical
plan To provide for such enforcement.
II favor that some agency or state
official he given the power to Dust
any officers of the law who are prov
en-. after proper trial. TO have been
unfaithfm to their oath Of Offices In
properly enforcing the law in any
locality
III elected to the Senate. II will be
my pleasure, and | viii consider IL
my privilege, 10 support, affirmative
~ and actively. such legislation as
will translate into law the will OF
the people of Virginia as expressed
by the overw helming ma tortty for
Statewide prohibition in fsne election
last fall.
That as chairman. of the temper
ance organization of Frederick coun-
tx and through the columns OF The
Star. | was able to assist in "a small
way in the attainment of this VIC
tory for temperance, will ever be a
source of qualification TO me.
