Lively Gubernatorial Campaign Down
In Alabama.
Alabama has at present a novel cam
paign. 1t started out early In the fall as q
mud-slinging contest, but soon changed to
one which is more pleasing. A Governor is
to be elected in August next, and Governor
Jones and Captain Reuben f. Kalbe are the
only candidates for the Democratic nomina-
ton.
The campaign was opened in Jefferson
because 1t IS the most populouS county in
the State and has given the largest Demo-
cratic maj0rities Kalbe had been stumping
the county. and Governor Jones friends
prevailed on him to do likewise. An engage
ment was made for him to speak at Adgers,
a small mining camp, twenty miles out from
Birmingham.
After speaking dance was proposed.
Governor Jones was asked to lead it with
Mrs. Johns, the beautiful wife of the super
intendent OF the mines. The Governor
could not refuse. and he entered az once
into the spirit Of the amusement.
AT the close OF the dance, not content with
his success as dancer, he leaned forward
and imprinted one of his sweetest kisses on
Mrs. Johns ruby lips. That pleased the
audience, and round of applause went up
from the Threats of the miners. 1t was the
most pleasant incident of the day, and since
then the contest has been called the oscula-
tory campaign.
So we'll pleased were the people with that
incident that Captain Kalbe at his very next
appointment which. by the way. was at
Adgers, thought to Guido the gallant Cover
nor, and he imprinted two kisses on the
cheek Of Mrs. Hilhouse, the charming wife
of the mining boss. Now every political
meeting is transformed into dance or a
german, and whichever candidate is present
is forced to lead off with the most popular
lady present. = Birmingham dispatch to

my full concurrence in the unanimous opin-

dress, including footwear, they conform
strictly to the requirements of the regula-
tions: in fact, at distance of forty or
fifty yards, they are hardly distinguishabie

MES. On drill they pay close attention to

But they seemed at ease, and
were always prompt and precise in the exc

officers deserve special mention. In their
