TAKES DEFEAT LIKE GOOD SPORT
Head of Anti-Saloon League, Says
There Will BE No Whining.

Head of Anti-Saloon League Says
There Will BE No Whining.
Burlington, March S.-"We got
licked. There are not enough remains
to hold an autopsy over" was the way
the Rev. G. H. Smith. secretary of
the Anti-Saloon League, answered a
request today for a statement on the
result OF the referendum on the Perry
statewide prohibition bill yesterday
which resulted in a crushing defeat
for the project for which Mr.. Smith
and his fellows have been earnestly
working during the past year. I'VE
put up as good a fight as we knew
how; we played as fair as We could;
undoubtedly we made mistakes; but
there is no whining"
Mr.. Smith Immediately expressed
the good faith Of the Anti-Saloon
League regarding the repeating of the
Perry bill when the legislature of
1917 cOnvenes. The Perry bill !, was
passed by the legislature. the question
submitted to the people being whether
1t woud take effect May l, this year,
or in 1927 1t was the understanding
in the legislature that II the voters
called for the 1927 date, the next leg
islature would repeal the bill. i9idg
Whatever influence i personally
have will be exerted to have introducf
ed on the first day OF the session of
the 1917 legislature bill repeating
the Perry act. There will be no de
lay; it is thoroughly understood by
the anti-saloon people and there is
not entertained single thought con
trary to doing just what 1t is expect
ed we should and ought to do," said
Mr.. Smith.
"We accept the vote as the verdict
of the people" continued Mr.. Smith
But the people have not expressed
themselves as being in favor of the
saloon, not that; they have said that
they are in favor Of local option. We
believe in the majority rule, and we
will do all that we can to keep out
the saloon under the local option law"
Asked how he accounted for the
unexpected result and its proportions
Mr.. Smith said: There evidently
was failure on the part Of a great
number Of individuals to understand
just what the new law proposed. A
great many evidently misunderstood
it. Yet the vote all through the state
shows what the people preferred.
ut is altogether too early to say
anything definite about plans for the
future" declared the secretary of the
Anti-Saloon League. Personally ]
feel just as did when entered the
work four years ago. / shall not give
1t up. / will work to keep out the
saloon under the present law. The
people have not expressed themselves
in favor of the saloon. There will be
some new lines of work. The first
thing is to work for the repeal of the
Perry bill in the next legislature"
