ways, and which you have read in the pub lie prints. All of you know that in this fight there were only three counties con- tested-Elmore, Coosa and Clay My first connection with the Clay County matter
 was on the 18th of August. when I went
 over to hear the count from that primary, and we gathered around table In the clerks office, and the canvassing board made up of three honest, patriotic citizens and Democrats of the county of Clay, con- sisting of MT. Allen White, representing Colonel Brewer; MT Driver, representing Colonel Bulger, though he said he voted
 for Colonel Brewer; and MT. Million, repre- senting MT. Thompson, and those three men In my presence, and in the presence of oth- CTS there assembled opened the certified returns from IS beats In Clay County, each beat was called. the tally sheets were put down. the numbers were written out, and the result tabulated and Colonel Thompson received 134 more votes In Clay County than Colonel Brewer and there was not chal- lenge of a single vote or of single beat as returned on that day. Every man there, whether for Brewer or Thompson acquiesce in that count and acknowledged that 1t was fair and honest.
 Whsn the Trouble Began
 What do we hear next? The district
 executive committee Is called together by
 MT. David White, the chairman of the
 district committee, and a partisan of Col
 onel Brewer in order to pass upon the
 prima facie right of delegates in your Con-
 gressional convention, and what do they say about Clay County? I was present in
 all this proceeding I am telling you about now I read the certificate which was
 signed by Captain White Mir. Driver and
 MT Mellon, who unanimously signed the
 certificate that Thompson was entitled to
 that delegation, and l read that certificate
 before the district committee at Goodwa-
 ter and they did not challenge the correct
 ness of it on single vote They did not
 claim that there was a fraudulent vote in
 Clay or an illegal vote; they did not claim
 any Populite or Republican voted there,
 not vote challenged What was the
 ground?
 "They said that in three beats fin the county-and they finally dismiss as to one of them, which left but two-that the managers were not sworn in, but that all parties agreed, and the managers them selves swore by affidavits they were not sworn in, still the votes were legal and honestly counted and it was admitted by | Colonel Brewers friends and his attor- news at Goodwater that such was the | case. vet they stood on technicaity and said because you did not swear in the man agers you must dsfranchise Democrats in Clay County in two of the beats.
 The Co asa Case
 "The evidence was heard from Coosa, and the com hittee passed on it. and not vithstanding the district executive com mittee took away PIE from Thomp- son in Clay and Coosa. Then it was we went before the State executive commit tee. and they heard the testimony, and ~DhAn tbAv ----- through the question was
The age-herald., 1900-09-17

put on Clay County first, and there was a unanimous vote from the State commit tee that Colonel Thompson was entitled to Clay Counfy-the thrse membefs from Col onel Brewers district on the committee did not vote for him to have any votes from Clay County Then the question came on Coosa County, and the vote of the State committee stood 4 to 5-fourteen in favor of Colonel Thompson and five in favor of Colonel Brewer On the question of Clay the vote was unanimous in favor of Col onel Thompson, and on Coosa it stood IA to in favor of Colonel Thompson.
 At the Convention
 .'We went before the State committee to have it determined who should have the seats in the primary organization, and the committee said that the counties of Clay and Coosa in the temporary organization should be for Colonel Thompson.
 ..We went to the district convention at Goodwater and the majority of the dis trict executive committee nominated and recommended Lamar Smith for chairman. We did not know what Colonel Brewers s friends were going to do, we could not fudge them at that time; we can only judge now by what they did do-what would have been their position on the temporary or ganization in regard to the ruling of the State Committee
 "Thev may say they did not intend to IL, regard it when they withdrew any shadow of authority either from the voters of the two counties or from the State committee, cast the vote of Clay and Coosa for Col onel Brewer in that Convention, and they cast not only two half votes from each county. but the whole five from each of those counties for Colonel Brewer in that convention, In which he claims to have been nominated Here comes up the sole question before the people: Did majority of the delegates of that convention, recos- nized by the State executive committee, and uncontested from the other counties did a majority of those delegates have right to choose their temporary chairman and temporary officers?
 ''If a convention Is not supreme. what power is supreme In the partyE Must majority of the delegates there, recognized by the State committee and the uncontest- ed counties, must they sit down and say to the minority you can dictate the tenn porary organization of this convention and thus fix the permanent organization? I think not.
 ''If you want a precedent for the ac- tion taken there I can give 1t to you But first I want to read to you true state ment of what took place there that day You know Judge A. J. Driver of the coun- ty of Chambers. who was in that conven- ton, and here is his report of what ac- tuallv took place. It is on the question or a roll call of the counties, which I will discuss later.
 Reads Letter
 "(Reads), Editor Advertiser:-I demand
The age-herald., 1900-09-17

to know the ballot by which Brewer was nominated; I demand to know where the eight votes from Tallapoosa went? See whether or not it is not claimed that Brewer was nominated by eight votes from Tallapoosa whereas three of your fellow citizens and delegates who were there that day are ready to stand before you this afternoon, or at any other time or place in this county, and say that their votes were never cast for MT. Brewer The three men are MT. Smith, Mr. Sorrsll and MT. Carlisle.
 '"rhere is an editorial which I saw copip6 in your paper today from the Advertiser and this is it's grain of comfort: No paper in Alabama has ever said or challenged the fact that Charles w.. Thompson did not have a majority of the legal and party law recognized delegates in that conven- tion, but this editorial does say that from a parliamentary standpoint it seems that MT. Brewer has the advantage. Gentle men, if I were to admit that for a moment, for the sake of argument, and I admit it only for that purpose, I want to say to you at this hour and this time in the history of the Democratic party in Ala bama that the white people of the State cannot afford to put before the people as the nominee of the party any man who claims to have been nominated by a par hamentary technicalty,
 What It Leads To
 Mob law reigns at times in this country not because jurors disregard their oaths and turn criminals loose or delay the trial of them, but they are turned loose because the technicalities raised in the courts come in between the criminal and justice and thus cause the people to take the law into their own hands and to execute it, and I want to say to you that when the sover- eign people, and the white people at that, and I am not talking about the Lowndes County negroes, but when the sovereign white people of the Fifth Congressional District get together and by a popular majority in every county where there was a contest, speak out for one man and give him a majority of delegates in the con- vention the people of the Fifth Congress sional District cannot afford on a parlia- mentary techncality to attempt to sup press the voice of the people as it has been expressed What about 1t? MT. Brewer carried Lowndes, and that is the only county in this district that he did carry on a popular vote.
 Colonel Thompson carried the county of Elmore over all of his opponents by some- thing over 200 votes and yet by some po- htical legerdeman that I will not discuss. 1t comes up to the convention for two other men, one of whom received less than fifty votes in the county. In the county of Coosa Colonel Thompson carried 1t, and the State Committee says so by a vote of IA to 5. In the county of Clay, not the State Committee, and not any other com mittee, but the people themselves in a di- rect primary. declare by vote of 134 ma jority that Thompson carried the county, and the State Committee by a unanimous
