 mence on the special order where we left off on yesterday. On a vote being taken. the motion was adopted.
 Mir. Burns-In the stenographlc re- port second page. last column. find the following: MT. Rurns-What would you do for instance in my county. We have not any Republi- cans. Would we have to do without
 legislation because we could not get a
 respectable white Republican," I did
 not ask anything about the legislatio and l did not say i've have not got"
 Neither did l say that we had no Re- publicans. I said distinctly we did
 have Republican who was too big for | the job and would not take it at S2O a day. Now l care not particularly so far as I am concerned what it says
 but I do not want it to go out that l said we did not have anyRepublicans when We have the most prominent Re-
 publican in Alabama, as proud, as good .and as true and able a Republi- can as there is in the Southern States, An ex-sheriff, ex-circuit judge, ex-
 Congressman and ex-United States District Attorney. He has hundreds and thousands of friends amongst tho staunchest Democrats in the blackbelt. He is member of a large and lucra tive law firm. He Is a brother of my distinguished and excellent colleague. and his name is George H. Craig.
