Political Broadside, 12" x 15-1/2", titled "THEN AND NOW" takes issue with the Prohibition Bishop who in 1909 supported the Local Option (allows counties to choose to have or not have saloons) and in 1914 was opposed. William Hodges Mann (1843-1927) was an American lawyer, Confederate soldier and Democratic politician who became the first judge of Nottoway County, Virginia and the last Confederate veteran to serve as the Governor of Virginia James Cannon Jr. (1864-1944) Cannon was the Superintendent of the Virginia State Anti-Saloon League, beginning in 1909, as well as Legislative Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of America. His appointment as bishop in 1918 gave him nationwide influence as he worked zealously to achieve national prohibition through the Eighteenth Amendment.
