DAVIS WILL NOT PLEDGE
Candidate for Governor Won't Guar
antee Support to Write Prohibi-
ton in Constitution.

Westmoreland Davis, candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
! Governor in the August primary
yesterday refused to pledge himself
to the support of prohibition amend
ment to the Constitution, saying, in
reply to an inquiry from the head
quarters committee of the Ant:-Sa-
loon League of Virginia, that. as
much as he desires election as Gov
ernor Of Virginia, he is unwilling Co
seek it at the price of pledging .4.nl-
self in advance upon so grave a
question. upon which executive con-
clusor should be had only after con-
ference, mature deliberation and pub
lie discussion.
Mr.. Davis's attitude toward this
question is directly contrary to ti'at
of both John Garland Pollard and J.
Taylor Ellyson, who, in the;r plat
form addresses, declared unequivocal-
ly for constitutional prohibition. The
platform upon which Mr.. Pollar.' *
running was made public before the
Anti-Saloon League propounded The
question. Mr.. Ellyson made known
his attitude only few days ago IN
an address at Roydton. Mecklenburg
County.
Replying generally to the ques-
tions of the league. Mr.. Davis quotes
letter written by him several weeks
ago to C. D. Quisenberry, president
OF the Anti-Saloon League of Orange
County.
The letter. in part. is as foliows:'
I'VE have now a State prohibition.
