Prohibition Is Not Involved

THE alleged movement among certain
1 ministers in this State to exert their
influence against the election of the Demo
cratic nominee for Governor on the ground
that they do not intend TO throw away the
work they have already done for prohibition
IL it is TO be taken seriously. is both refec-
tion on their political wisdom and discredit
able to their party loyalty, or if they dsclaim
party allegiance, on their obligations good
citizens to accept the results OF q primary in
which they participated.
The question of prohibition is not involved
in the coming election, the issue having been
settled two years ago and laws enacted put
ting il into effect. To the enforcement of
these laws, Mr.. Westmoreland Davis pledged
himself in the primary campaign. and the
voters being satisfied with his attitude to-
ward the law as 1t exists, gave him the nomi-
nation by a substantial plurality over the two
opposing candidates. thus UNFOLDING the con-
tention that the issue had been removed from
the politics OF the State and its enforcement
become a solemn obligation resting upon
public officials Subsequent to his nomination
Mr.. Davis has reaffirmed his position as
defined in the previous campaign. What more
could reasonably be asked of him with re-
spect to the question by the most ardent
champions Of prohibition? What further
pledges could he honorably make in order to
give assurance that the law will have the
unqualified support of his administration?
His attitude is, and has been frank, clear and
commendable and opposition to his election.

Gratis is rank disloyalty to the party and
merits the scverest condemnation. Nor can
individuals claiming no party allegiance who
voted in the primary now oppose him with
out stultifying their claims to good cii-
Zenship
The Times-Dispatch cannot believe that the
talked-of movement has any considerable fol-
lowing among the ministers OF Virginia. On
the contrary, such support 1t may have
found is undoubtedly gathered from the
attenuated ranks of the opponents OF Democ-
racy, who In their stress for votes have resur-
rected the ghost Of prohibition in futile
attempt to stampede prohibition voters to O
party which has been for years dscredited
in the State.
