ELECTION BUT TEN DAYS OFF
Speakers From All Parts of the State
 Say
THE OUTLOOK WAS NEVER BETTER
Campaign Committee Is in Constant Communi- cation With County Executive Committees, Which Are Cooperating With Each
 Other in EveryWay.

As the day for the general election draws nigh, the campaign committee and the clerks grow buster and pusier at democratic state headquarters in the Morris hotel. Campaign literature is being widely dis tributed and the demand Tor it throughout the state shows how highly 1t is appre- 'ciated. Campaign speakers are constantly visiting the headquarters on their way to fill appointments, and the reports they bring are most gratifying.
 Democrats have never before been more confident of the oge. ,,l cirang success of the party than they are over the outcome of the approaching election.
 ''The committee is in constant and almost daily communication with every county in the state,' said Chairman Robert J. Lowe, yesterday, "and from such information as I have been able to glean from the corre- spondence, and from personal interviews with party workers from all sections, who visit headquarters from time to time, can say that the white people Tn Alabama ap- pear to be more nearly unlted on political AoSdSS tHdh ell any liiilc StllCS loooy olllo believe Governor Johnston and the rest of the state ticket will get a larger pro- portion of the white vote, and 1 may say also of the colored vote, than any demo- cratic state ticket has received for many years. There are in certain counties local dissentions and local issues which endanger, to some extent, the success of the county ticket, but these contests will have no ef- feet upon the state ticket; and, as is usual in such cases, the nearer the approach of election day, the brighter appears the pros- pects for the regular organization. The bit- terness of defeat which succeeded the ter reason, and the other causes of discon- tent within the party are being removed and the differences healed.
 'The size of our majority for the state ticket depends upon the numebr of votes cast. If those people in Alabama who de- sire the success of the ticket feel enough interest to come to the pools on election day, there will be a very large majority. We are trying to impress upon the voters the necessity of turning out to vote, and the obligation that every patriot owes to his country to discharge this duty
 "As to the complexion of the next gener- al assembly, I think it perfectly safe to say that the combined opposition will not be able to muster in excess of twenty votes in the house of representatives. Of the seventeen senators to be elected the oppo- sition cannot hope to secure more than three This is a conservative estimate, as I believe the results will show. I wish you would try to impress upon the democrats the importance of turning out to vote. I believe that there will not be an anti-demo- catic majority in more than ten counties in the state in fact, the committee believes that if the local dssensions in our own ranks could be healed, not white county in the state would be left to the populists."
