Tfls Rate Matter Side-tracked and PfQlI
bltlon Is Discussed by Itlia Legislature.!
The question, -whether the legis
lature will pass an act giving the
State prohibition or not , has : not
yet been definitely settled al
thoughts will be seen below; the
House caucus decided : that the
matter should be lett to tne peo
ple f or V settlement at the coming
November election. The prooeed
ings on, this important -matter.
thus far, is given below, as pub
lished by the Charlotte' Observer's
special Raleigh'correspondent i-
Raleigh, Jan; 21. In a message
of extraordinary and unlooked-for.
length Governor Glenn to-day de
clared unequivocally and abso
lutely for State prohibition by
immediate legislative enactment.
The. Senate and House, of Repre
sentatives convened in the Capitol
at 11 o'clock sharpf 6rty-se ven ! of
the fifty lnembers ofr.the "upper
house and one hundred and three
of the One hundred ! 'and twenty
members "of the lower housed an
swering to their names when the
roll was called. LieutTvGovernbr
Francis D. Winston presided over
the1 Senate, while' Speaker E. J.
Justice directed the deliberations
of the House.
The feature of the "morning was
the reading of 'the massage "from
fthe Governor, and particularly
that section relating to State pro
hibition. No pronouncement thus
far published on this great subject
has been couched in such empha
tic trms. Said he : "I am thor
oughly satisfied that no act ever
passed by any legislative body in
North Carolina would give the joy
and. be more generally endorsed
than would be the ' act of this
General Assembly in giving pro
hibition to the entire State." And
again: "If you do this, your act
will be the wisest and best ever
passed by any legislative body and
will be ratified and endorsed by
the good people of the State."
TO CONSIDER PROHIBITION.
After having been in session for
wo ana one-nail nours tonignt
he Democratic members of the
House of Representatives in cau
cus assembled decided to consider
a bill at this special session giv
ing the State absolute prohibition,
provided this measure is ratified
by popular vote at the general
election in November. If this
election is favorable Buch a bill
wilKbe operative January 1st next.
The caucus was one of the
stormiest ever held ,in Raleigh.
It convened at 8 o'clock and last
ed until almost 11 o'clock. Dur
ing the entire time of the sitting
a delegation two 0 hundred strong
rom the Anti-Satoor? League
hundered and murmured 'at. the
bolted doors of thechamber, peti-

toning a nearing. wnen sucn a
request was denid by a vote of 41
to 42, and "when it looked as if the
body would: decide to consider
only bills telating to the' railroad
rate problem, -two of the well
known4' membdtg oi-fthe caucus,
Representatives D nrgJas, of Wake,
and Buchanan, of Moore, with
drew, declaring -that they would
hare to stand for prohibition at
this time and they-could not hold
themselves bound by the expres
sion of the majority on this moral
issue. '
Confusion followed their with
drawal. As many as. a doz n
Representatives were onhe floor
at one time demanding reoogni
tion." Representative Dowd,; of
Mecklenburg, finally obtained the
floor and he offered a resolution
that the caucus adjourn -until
Thursday night, 'at which time
this matter be further considered
and settled. He declared that he
was apprehensive of trouble in .the
party and thought that the caucus
should, ad journ jn order to have.
time to consider questons present
ing themselves more carefully
Such actioh, however, was not
tiken.
In order to reach some basis of
compromise two resolutions were
presented. The first was that the
House at this spinal Session con
sider only, such measures as relate
to . th passener rate situation.
This was lost by a vote of 87 to
55." The second was that .th
House consider a- bill giving the

operation be deferred until , after!

the purpose of putting them on

representatives to aid in the effort

As was expected, they refused to
give any aid and gave their reas
ons accordingly. We are led to be
lieve, by an article in the Eve
