SOME QUESTIONS FOR LILLY

Attorney General A. A. Lilly is billed to make a
public address at the court house at Clarksburg this
evening i'll support of his candidacy for the NOM
nation for governor of West Virginia. This occasion
will afford an opportunity for Mr. Lilly to set himself
right with large class of citizens of the state of West
Virginia and in order to facilitate any endeavor in
that direction his part the Telegram desires to pro-
pound simple question for him to answer.
1t is openly charged in the press of the state and
by Republicans in public addresses, that General Lilly
is III favor OF prohibition and the enforcement of the
prohibition laws when speaking in dry territory or
III territory where that sentiment largely prevails and
that he is "wet candidate or opposed to prohibition
or the enforcement of prohibition legislation when
speaking III communities where large part of the peo-
pie are in favor of more liberal legislation on the liquor
question The Telegram does not attempt to speak for
MI Lilly and does not charge him with entertaining
these contradictory views and advocating these conra
dlctory doctrines for political purposes, but it refers
simply to the fact that Mr. Lilly has been repeatedly
charged in reputable newspapers and by reputable cit
lzens with these Inconsistencies Ii these accusations
are false General Lilly can easily answer them and set
himself right before the people of the state
Will He Answer These Questions?
L. VIII you, II elected governor, enforce the laws
on the statute books of West Virginia prohibiting the
liquor traffic and the misuse of Intoxicating LIQUORS in
West Virgina7
2. Will you, if elected governor, make any effort
to cause to be repealed any of the laws now on the
statute books prohibiting the sale of liquors in the state
Of West Virginia or the shipment of the same into the
state?
These questions simple and the people of West
Virginia request simple answer yes or no. There is
no excuse reason for you to befog the matter by
wordy explanations or attempted explanations which
do not explain Let the people have your plain simple
answer to each of these questions, yes or no.
If YOU do not answer these questions tonight in
your address at the court house, the people will take it
that you desire them to understand that you arc for
prohibition in sections of the state where that sent
ment prevails, and that you against it in sections
Of the state where the wet sentiment PREVAILS that Won
have convictions the subject and are ready to take
either side of it at any me both sides of the cues
ton whenever to do will advance your personal in
terests.

ROOSEVELT Denounces
"Pork-BQrrep Methods
In the National Defense

We have endeavored to deceive our
selves by announcing that in this
policy Of supine inactlon and Of fail
ure to perform duty. we are actuated
by the Hottest motives. doubt
whether We have really deceived our
selves. and most certainly we have
not deceived others. There is not a
nation In the world which believes
that our course of conduct has been
dictated by anything save timidity,
unworthy shrinking from effort and
responsibility. and cold and selfish
love Of money making and of soft
ease.
I'm any serious crisis there are al
ways men who try to carry water on
both shoulders. These men try to es-
cape the hard necessity OF choice be-
tween two necessarily opposite alter
natives. by trying to work up some
compromise. In actual practice, this
compromise usually proves to COM
bine with exquisite nicely all the
defects and none Of the advantages
OF both courses It is true that in
ordinary political matters compro-
mise is essential. II is true that in
ordinary times 1t is essential. But
there come great crises when COM
promises are either impossible or IA
tai. This is one OF those crises.
There Is no use in saying that we
will Mt ourselves to defend ourselves
a little, but not much. Such a posi-
ton is equal to announcing that. IL
necessary, We shall hit, but that we
shall only hit soft. The only right
principle Is to prepare thoroughly or
not at all. The only right principle
is to avoid hitting II It Is possible to
do so. but never under any circum-
stances to hit soft. To so to war a
little but not much. is the one abso-
Lutte certain way to ensure disaster.
To prepare little but not much,
stands on q par with city develop
ing q fire department which, after n
fire occurs, can put It out little,
