COMMITTEES MESSAGE
 TO VOTERS OF STATE
TO the People of Alabama.

TO the People of Alabama.
 The movement, having for it's purpose the framing and adoption of a new or ganic law for the State of Alabama, is not of sudden growth. For years, it has been realized that the present constitu- . tion has apparent and real deficiencies considered with reference to conditions obtaining in the State and it's material and political advancement and, during these years. public sentiment gradually formed in favor of calling a convention to> frame a new constitution.
 Party's Position.
 The General Assembly, which met in 1900, submitted to the people the question: of holding a constitutional convention and a special election was held to determine it. When the call was submitted, tho Democratic party, in state convention as7 sembled. took positive ground and de-, clared itself in favor of the call. The. question then became a party question. The Democratic state executive commit tee appointed a Democratic campaign committee to carry on the campaign for a constitutional convention; and, 1t hay ing been made a party issue, 1t naturally
 
 call of the convention resulted in the cleo tion of a large majority of the delegates to the convention who were members of the Democratic party.
 Democratic Committee.
 When the convention had assembled and had completed its labors, provided for submitting the new instrument for ratification or rejection to the people and adjourned the Democratic state execu- tive committee met and again appointed a Democratic state campaign committee by selecting a chairman and authorizing the appointment by him of fourteen other Democrats, and charged this committee with the duty of conducting the campaign in favor of ratification of the new con- stitution. In thus constituting a cam paign committee, the Seate Committee was following precedent, uniformly adopted by that committee, in all State campaigns in which the Democratic party has taken part. This campaign commit tee has been organized and intends to vigorously and aggressively urge the rati- fication of the new constitution.
 Democratic Document.
 The more so, because the history of the movement for a new constitution, the &C., tive part taken by the Democratic party in the call for the convention to frame it, the election of nearly nine-tenths of the whole membership of the convention as Democrats, and the work of that Demo- cratic majority in the convention. and in submitting the instrument to the peo- pie for ratification, proclaim. In no un- certain tones, that the new constitution is a Democratic document and that its defeat will be recognized and declared by the opposition to the Democratic party. as the defeat of the party itself. This committee does not desire to arrogate to itself any power. but 1t holds its creden- tials from the regularly constituted au- thority of the Democratic party, by the usual and customary method of appoint ing a Democratic State Campaign Com mittee, and it will conduct the campaign as a Democratic Campaign Committee should. The foregoing recital of facts is relied on to show, at once, the reason

 The notion that a modern college course Is essentially a rich mans blessing Is greatly shaken by figures just collated with regard to the stu dents of Columbia University. It is as closely established as may be that fully 40 per cent of the young men at that institution earn a portion of the money necessary to take them through. Ten per cent of them earn half of their college money. About per cent earn the whole sum, including living expenses.
 A great many thousands of dollars are gathered in by the students of which no accounting is either made or called for. But 1t Is known that through the Committee on Employ ment for the students at Columbia last year engagements were accepted which brought returns amounting to

Want of Confidence.

The doubt expressed in some quarters as to the probable action of the regis trars is but the expression of want of confidence which some people are indulg ing in election matters. This condition ought not to be, and now that the new constitution offers the remedy to eradi- cate the evils which have produced this want of confidence, and to restore a healthy public sentiment, it ought to be ratified and tried. Shall we declaim against conditions which we refuse to rectify, when opportunity is offered for their correction?

The new constitution requires the Leg islature to pass laws not inconsistent with the constitution. to regulate and govern elections. It requires the Legisla- ture to make provisions, by laws, for purging the registration list of any names which may have been fraudulently entered thereon

Towards its pledges made in that fight 1t has kept the faith And whether or not there is, henceforth, laid up for 1t crown of righteousness 1t Is for the white people of this State to de- eide.

honest Elections.

Honest elections are as sure to follow the adoption of the new constitution as that day follows the night. It may not all come at once but the Democratic party has set it's face towards honesty in elections and it's policies will obtain.
