CARDINAL GIBBONS
FIGHTS PROHIBITION
Opposes Statewide "Dry" Law
as an Infringement of
Personal Rights.

BALTIMORE. Feb. o2.-Cardinal Glib.
bons declared himself this afternoon 10 q
delegation Of business men to he strongly
opposed To the statewide prohibition law
pending in the Legislature. lie valid
II am strongly opposed to any state
wide prohibition bill being passed by
the Legislature. because I believe that
such q Law " impossible OF enforcement
In a city the size Of Baltimore and its
environs, Such being the case, a lAr
Of this kind interferes with personal
liberty and rights and creates hypocrisy
in the people.
The history OF the world down to tho
present time demonstrates the fact that
people always have INDUCED and always
will indulge In the use Of Intoxicating
liquors. Further. I am opposed to the
paaDaSe Of such q law because II would
deprive the State OF a large revenue
without accomplishing results. and that
too at q time when both the city and
State are very much In need Of the
revenue produced.
However. am heartily In favor Of
temperance and whenever II IL my pleas
ure 10 confirm a class of boys | always
exact from them a pledge to abstain
from the use of intoxicants until they
become Of age. I am also a firm be-
lever In local option, and whenever the
majority OF the citizens of Il county or
any portion OF the state want to vote
on the question u local option their
wishes should be gratihed,
II do not hesitate TO say that ] con-
tributsd In no small measure to the sup
preston Of the sale Of intoxicants In
81. Mary's county. In This case ! WAN
satisfied that the local circumstances
