LEAGUE TO FAVOR
"b0NE.DRY" LOW
Col. .1HORNBURCn WRITES
Will Adopt Suggestion of Log Cabin
Democrat Tor More Stringent
Prohibition Act.

Instead of advocating a bill to place
certain limits upon shipments of in
toxicating liquors, the Arkansas Anti
Saloon League will adopt sugges-
ton urged in recent editorial in
the Log Cabin Democrat and favor
the passage of "bone-dry" law, ac-
cording to letter received today
from Col. George Thornburgh of Lit
tie Rock, president of the league, to
whom a marked copy of the paper
containing the editorial had been sent.
Col. Thornburgh states that the fear
that public sentiment was not yet
ready for such a stringent prohibitory
measure was the reason that a bill
merely limiting shipments of liquor
to individuals to certain quantities
per month was proposed. He now be-
lieves, according to his letter, that a
bone dry" law would be approved
in Arkansas, and the inference is that
the Anti-Saloon League will not pro-
pose the limited shipment measure,
but will advocate the "bone dry"
law
Col. Thornburgh's letter to the Log
Cabin Democrat follows:
I"Arkansas Anti-Saloon League; Office
of the President, Room 306 Masonic
Temple, Little Rock, Ark, Jan.
II, 1917.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat, Con-
way, Arkansas.
"My Dear Sir-I thank you for
sending me the marked copy of your
paper advocating a bone dry law.
We We're of the opinion that public
sentiment was not right for bone
dry law in Arkansas and did the next
best thing. Of course, we would pre-
fer the 'bone-dry law, and in view of
the decision of the United States su-
preme court and especially of the
strong words of the chief justice, and
in view of the strong ma ajority in the
lower house of congress in favor of
the prohibition Of liquor in the Dis
trict of Columbia, am of the opinion
that 'bone-dry' law would be ap-
proved in this state, and that it could
not be repealed by a bill initiated,
which was our fear So that l shall
favor bone dry law and think the
other members of the executive COM
mittee will also.
Yours truly,
Geo. Thornburgh,
Superintendent.

That Col. Thornburgh did not delay
after reaching the determination ex.
pressed in the above letter is showr
by the following story taken from
this (Friday) mornings Arkansas
Gazette:
Following the decision of the Unit
ed States supreme court upholding the
constitutionality of the WebbKen
yon act on interstate commerce
shipments of liquor, the executive
committee of the Arkansas Anti
Saloon League will present to th'
legislature today through Senator
Greathouse what is known as the
"bone-dry law" for the absolute pro
hibition of liquor shipments into Ar
kansas for beverages.
George Thornburgh, president Of
the league, yesterday said that such
a law has been favored by the league
for some time, but that it was moi
known whether public opinion woulC
justify an attempt to pass it. Mr.
Thornburgh said that the action OF
the United States senate in voting
for prohibition in the District of Col
umbia, and of the congressional com.
mittee in favor of prohibiting the
shipment of liquor into Alaska, as
well as local matters, have convinced
the league that public sentiment has
grown and is growing so rapidly, in
favor of a dry country that the "bone-
dry" law will be acceptable to ma
jority of the voters of Arkansas.

which was healed by the action of the
administration forces in the morning

to show that Governor Hays ap-

permanent
Senator Ponder, who had been vot-
