JUDGE T. (. JONES
 SEES ROOSEVELT
STATES THAT HIS VISIT WAS PURELY PERSONAL AND THAT POLITICAL MATTERS WERE NOT DISCUSSED BETWEEN THEM.

Washington, October 31.-(speciaI.)- Judge Thomas G. Jones of Alabama called at the White House this morning accompanied by former Attorney Gen eeral MacVeagh and Judge Boyd of North Carolina Judge Jones was with. the President for nearly an hour. His visit was purely a social call to thank the President for the confidence reposed in him in his selection for the Alabama Dis trtct judgeship.
 The reports circulated to the effect that the visit was in the nature of po- litical conference on Southern appoint ments is denied by Judge Jones, who says nothing other than matters entirely personal were under discussion.
 'No reference was made to partisan politics. said Judge Jones tonight" The President does not ask either my advice or my views on Southern political ap- pointments. A judge has nothing to do with politics. The law clearly defines his duties. In rendering me this high posi- tion the President was extremely con- siderate. His idea of the great position he occupies and his respect for the ju- diciary make him the last man on earth who would seek to attach political condi- tions to such an appointment"
 While at the White House the Presi- dent reiterated to Judge Jones his policy of appointing Republicans in the South when they came up to the standard he helieves requisite for off1ceholding.
 .If the President cannot flnd such men," said Judge Jones' ''he will appoint from the ranks of the opposition party. giving preference to Democrats who are Americans in their ideas"

Tuscaloosa, October a.-(SpeciaI. )-Hon. Tennent Lomax of Montgomery ad- dressed large crowd at the court house this morning on the subject of the new constitution. He was introduced to the audience by Hon. Henry A. Jones and was heartily applauded when he arose to speak. Mr. Lomax's speech was mo- table for it's sound reasoning and It's lack of abuse for the opponents of the new constitution. Mir. Lomax referred to the fact that the new constitution does not recognize the Fifteenth amendment but disfranchises a large majority of the negroes without affecting the status of the white voters. His condemnation of Theodore Roosevelt as citizen for having Booker Washington to dine with him met with hearty applause. The question of registration and registrars was taken up and the objections made thereto answered by MT. Lomax, who stated that in republican form of gov ernment 1t is absolutely necessary to trust some one. As MT. Lomax closed F. s. Moody arose but was interrupted by MT. Lomax who stated that the ap- pointment was his and that no proposi- ton had been made for a joint debate. MT. Moody stated that he arose only to announce that he will speak on Novem- Der 8 against the constitution Mir Lomax stated that he had not known for what purpose MT. Moody had arisen and the incident was closed.
