out by the Anti-Saloon League on
the eve of election, but we felt that
an injustice had been done other
candidates equally worthy. We are
therefore pleased to note that the
organization repudiate; the action of
the superintendent in the following
letter sent out to the press:
Tallahassee, June 10.
"As president and vice president
Of the Anti-Saloon League of Flor
ida, we wish to express our condem-
nation of the action of Mr. Kent
Pendleton, as superintendent of the
League in giving out from headquar-
ters information that was designed
to help one friend of the prohibi-
tion cause to the detriment of an
other. The policy of the League is to
unite the opposition to the liquor
traffic and not to divide it, and for
that reason the organization should
never be used in the interest of one
friend of the cause against another.
Mr.. Pendleton's action was with
out our approval and we consider it
unwise and unjust. Respectfully,

President.
