, adopted by Commissioner Peters to elect
LEGISLATURE of his selection in order to be
! In position to pilot and dominate their
action rs he sees fit Prohibition Is not an
issue In Virginia, it has been voted dry
, by $4,000 majority. and because of that we
severely condemn Commissioner Peters be-
cause Of his unwarranted attack upon the
taxpayers of Virginia to pay him, through
the next General Assembly. the 100000 for
the purpose of enforcing the prohibition
law"
The Farmers Union further says that Com
polls that his method to build up Il political
machine by which to override and dominate
the forthcoming Legislature is obnoxious to
the majority of the taxpayers of Virginia.
The resolutions and accompanying letter
put the matter squarcly up to voters, and
they are asked directly whether they would
prefer this 100000 turned over to Com
missioner Peters or let it remain as part OF
the appropriations for good roads and better
schools. The issue is made plain when the
union says OF the people: They have their
choice as to whether to restrain Commits
sioner Peters. through the medium of the
polls in electing the next General Assembly
from putting into effect his mode of pro-
cedure TO dominate and lead the same, or
let him. undisturbed. unmolested unobstruct-
ed in any way, walk in and take full control
OF the premises 'unconditonally.'
