Prohibition Not a Dead Issue---
Concentration Necessary

The Westmoreland Davis club of Norfolk in big black
headlines declares prohibition is dead issue and urges
men to vote for Davis as progressive candidate
If prohibition is dead ISSUE why did this same Nor
folk Davis club issue statement protesting against the
proposed prohibition constitutional amendment an at
tack upon the liberty of the citizens of Virginia.
Surely dead issue could not have provoked such rag
ng vehement delivery from the wet citizens of Norfolk.
If Mr.. Davis considered prohibition to be dead is
sue why did he dodge direct reply to the questions of
the Anti-Saloon league7 He asked whether he ap-
proved the principles of the Mapp law. If he should
that he did approve hem he would lose his head
the wet voters If he should that he did not
approve them he would lose the support of the dry farm
Therefore he lodged the question and has made no
Mr. Davis asked whether he would cooperate to
strengthen the provisions of the Mapp law If he should
that he would do he would lose the support OF
the wet voters If he should declare that he would not
do So he would lose the vote Of the dry farmers There
fore he lodged the question and has made reply to
this day
Finally, he asked if he would favor a constitu-
tona amendment He answered that he could not pledge
himself in advance such an important matter
Did any candidate for public Office in Virginia ever
dodge questions to important policies completely
than Mr. Davis has lodged the above questions pro-
hbition If this issue is dead, his Norfolk club de-
clares, why be afraid to questions without dodg
ing equivocating?
No indeed prohibition is not dead issue Mr. West
moreland Davis thinks it be the vest issue Of the
pagn and he is expecting to be nominated by the support
of the practically solid wet vote of the state, aided by
supposed split in the prohibition vote.
Prohibition Democrats who more concerned about
prohibition than they about personal factonal pol
cies WILL at such time this try to find out which dry
candidate is the stronger and will then concentrate upon
him. Reports still indicate that the is between Ely
son and Davis and that the surest way to defeat Davis
is to vote for Ellyson.

CITY EMPLOYEES MAY
GET INCREASE IN PAY

Members Of the nre and police de-

have asked for an increase In salary,
will receive the increase asked for II
plans which have been formulated by
Councilman Morgan r. Mills, and
which he will introduce in the council

the feasibility of the plan to be sug-
gested by Mr.. Mills, 1t Is believed that
the council will pass 1t, and the in
crease asked for by the city employees
realized in a short time.
Approaching that the great ad-
vance In the cost OF foodstuffs and

rate of pay for city employees insult
ncient to take care of their expenses.
Mr.. Mills hit upon plan for the city
to borrow 100000 from the banks
for a certain period. and with this
take care Of the emergency. The pay
of the city employees has not advanced
in the same proportion as the cost
of living due to the war, and 1t Is the
opinion of Mr.. Mills that when the
plan he has prepared is submitted to
the council 1t will be acted upon ia
vorably.

pie surged about the long line OF
troops applauding and cheering them.

ment armory at Seventh and Mar

Broad to Fifth street, thence to
Franklin street, west on Franklin
through Monument avenue, and south
on the Boulevard to the reviewing
grounds. At Monument and Davis
avenues the troops were halted for a
ten minute rest. Sunday afternoon
promenaders cheered the troops as
they passed along. and people from
their front porehes gave them ova-
tons.
When,the field was cleared by tho
tronns the r. y companies TOOK: 8heir

them through the movements. The
band. made up of members OF Acca

tire length of the line, the officers re-
ported to the commanding officer.
and with the playing of the Star

an end. The troops carried out the
