A reprint from the New York
World, commenting on the guberna-
torial election in Virginia, is being
widely distributed. With the dry vote
split between two candidates, wet
was nominated for Governor of Vir-
ginia The total vote for the dry can
didates was 1000 more than the wet
received. Nevertheless, the World
contends that the election in Virginia
indicates defeat for Prohibition and
marks the beginning of national re-
action in favor of the liquor traffic.
{. A. Windle's latest argument in
favor of the liquor traffic is to the eft
feet that Prohibition will destroy
Christianity. In a circular emanating
from the educational publicity depart
ment of the Manufacturers and Deal
ers' Association, he says that loyal
ministers and true Christians must
now enter the fight against Prohibi-
ton, not to save the liquor business,
but to prevent the destruction Of
Christianity.
This circular Is apparently being
sent to ministers throughout the
state. While some might be misled
by Windle's wet logic, all ministers
will surely resent the blasphemous
statements made by this clever advo-
cate for the liquor interests.
