wELL RATIFY CONSTITUTION.
Campaign Was Launched IN 5lrming-
ham BY state Campaign COMMITTEES.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 2S.-The
campaign for the ratification of the new
constitution at the polls on November 18th
was launched in this city Saturday by the
organization of the state campaign COM
mittee with Congressman Oscar w. I'm
derwood as chairman.
The other members of this committee
are Congressman Henry ID. Clayton and
j. L. Burnett, b. f. Gilmore, of Lowndes;
w. T. Sanders, of Limestone: w. w.
Brandon, of Tuscaloosa; George P. Jones,
of Montgomery; Joe Nathan, of Colbert;
E. X. Campbell, B. A. Thompson and
Jones @. Moore, of Birmingham; w. b.
Browne, of Columbiana; A. ]. Driver, OF
Lafayette and A. M. Tunstall, of Hale.
John c. Pugh, Of Birmingham, was Sc
lected secretary.
Many leading Democrats met with the
committee on Saturday, among them John
b. Knox, of Calhoun, president of the
constitutional convention. Mr.. Knox de-
clared that the opponents of rattncation
were enemies of good government, as they
stood for the perpetuation Of the menace
of the ignorant vote, which the new con-
stitution sought to eliminate.
1t was the consensus of opinion that,
while there is great deal of opposition to
ratification, this opposition is OF mega
tive character and springs principally from
a lack of information as to the tenets OF
the new constitution. 1t was reported that
wherever there had been campaigning of
an educational character the opposition to
ratification had died out. 1t was, there
fore, determined to send speakers into
every hamlet to inform the people as to
the nature of the new constitution and
the changes made on the old.
The rural districts will be especially IN
formed of the fact that the new constitu-
ton provides more literally for the pub
lie schools by giving them fixed share
of all taxes rather than subJecting them
to the caprices of the general assembly
for appropriations and that the state tax
limit has been reduced from 10 to %
cents

tention Soon" he said. 1T is probable
that an effort will be made this year
as was done year ago, to get the pro-
ducers together to hold up the price
next year. The Missouri lead producers
are still the disturbing factor in the
market. They have been shipping out
great quantities of lead regardless of
the market conditions. We have sus-
tanned the market. but il has at times
been a strain. If we had not sus-
tanned the market, the price would be
about 3 cents instead of 4. I do not
care t. make a prediction as to what
the price viii be next year. as much
will depend on developments.
1T is significant fact. however,
that every one of the directors of the
company is bull on silver. Some time
ago it was stated that we hoped 10 in
crease the price of silver by selling to
consumers direct. without the interview
ton of the London brokers. We are
doing this 20 a large extent. but the
brokers have still been able to keep the
price down. Several conditions have
contributed to depress the price of sill
yer. Principal among them is the fact
that the demand has been greatly de-
creased by the war in China. That
country has not bought so much silver
as usual, and neither has Russia That
difficulty has been pretty well settled
now, and I 10 an increase in the
demand there.
Another future source Of demand
viii be the Philippines. I look for leg
islation at the next session of congress
for the coinage of a special silver dollar
for use in the Philippines, taking the
place of the Mexican dollar now the
principal coin there As the islands are
developed. more and more silver will be
in demand"
Mr.. SeweU does not look for any de-
crease in the price of copper. despite
the recent scare. e Hsays the price
win be maintained indefinitely, III his
opinion.
The directors held a meeting in the
KnutsfOrd last evening and went over
various phases OF the local situation.
They viii probably visit the site of the
new $1,000 900 smelter today. although
no programme has as yet been definite
