A stir In political circles ha. been caused by the statement by Dr. Len G. Broughton at the prohibition rally Tuesday night that all the member, of council who voted for Alderman Beu- tell's resolution In favor of local option as opposed to a state prohibition law aid who are now candidates, would have opposition. The three men who would be affect ed are, Councilman E. E. Pomeroy, of the Fourth ward; Councilman W. A. Hancock, of the Seventh ward, and Councilman Charles M. Roberts, of the Eighth ward, all of whom are candi dates for aldermen from their respect ive wards. It so happens that Ml three were members of the spefinl 'committee which cut out all the dives following the riot lost year and all three sup ported tho ordinance placing further restrictions and high licenses on the whisky traffic. As a consequence, the friends of the three councilman are protesting against the placing of the three men In the attitude of being lined up with the “whisky crowd," when as a matter of fact, It Is urged that they have done as much as any members of council to put the whisky traffic on a more re- sfiectable basis. “The fact Is.” stated a member of council to a representative ot The Georgian, “Councilmen Pomeroy, Han cock and Roberts' will draw as great a proportion of support, If opposed, from the prohibitionists as from tho opposing side. , "I can not bring myself to believe that, after their service In regulating the whisky traffic and cutting out the dives last year, they will be opposed by a prohibition candidate because they prefer local option to state" prohibition. ”1 don't know of anybody flint can It at them. I know I would hate to have to tackle the Job."
