Fries arose and in approp riate language Introduced (he speaker! ot the evening, referring in a lilting j manner to K-overnor Glenn's public i services. : I The governor began his address by i referring In a feeling manner to his love for Winston-Salem and her peo ple. He stated that the Idea of state prohibition was not a new one with him as some seemed to think and re viewed his course with reference to the whiskey question since 1SS1. He contended that local option did not furnish a full solution of the-whiskey problem and gave his reasons for this statement. The speaker then considered the various objections to prohibition. With reference to the argument that visitors cannot be induced to go Into a dry town h said that a man who went into a town merely because he could get whiskey there was not a desirable visitor, to say the least, and that such people should not be welcomed. "It is argued bv some that prohibi tion hurts business," said Governor Glenn. He replied to this by saying. that, if whiskey helped business, rail roads and other corporations would encourage the whiskey habit Instead of doing the reverse. He referred to the action of the members of the Liquor Dealers' Association In a recent meeting . in Washington In pledging themselves not to employ men who drink whiskey. : In referring to the argument that prohibition does not prohibit tbe speaker said no law prohibits alto 'gather. He contended that, If the of ficers would do ,thelr' duty, there would be much loss talk about prohibi tion not prohibiting. He referred to Kansas and Maine, saying thattate prohibition was successful there and that those states had been benefitted by It. Governor Glenn conteHded that the argument that high license made taxes ,lower was not entitled to consjdera tion becauso It was: putting on a monetary basis a question that was not. a question of money. In conclusion Governor Glenn gave figures showing the largd amount of money spent in this country, State and city for whiskey last year. The speaker expressed tbe belief that in ten yeVs North Carolina would be a prohibition state, ru conclusion he urged his hearers to stand by him In his efforts for prohibition and other things, to help rather than to criticize. The governor spoke last evening In his customary earnest and forcible manner and hia address was atten tively listened to with much interest by tim large audlonce. After the address a collection was taken op. a hymn sung and the bene diction pronounced.
