SEEKS THE SENATE.
And Resigns Controllership of the
 Treasury.

Chicago Special to New York Times.
 The candidacy of eX-Comptroller Dawes for the Illinois Senatorship having be- come an ossured fact, there is much in terest in political circles as to the out come of the next election. While MT. Dawes himself Is to take little part in the campaign, so far as appearances go, at work all the time. He will not go to Sprir gfield but there is no doubt that his candidacy will be well urged at the State capital.
 MT. Dawes has a strong support behind him in the fnanciers of Chicago. Their acquaintance with his as a bank Presi- dent, before he accepted the national of fee of Comptroller of tie Currency. has given them personal interest in his candidacy. The men who are behind him cannot be ignored even if the politicians wished to ignore them MT. Dawes s friends are not sanguine enough to ex- pecS that he will win without a fight. United States Senatorships do not go in that way. They are, however. extremely hopeful and consider lis chances of the best
 It is a rather unique incident that the last four Comptrollers of the Currency have been Chicago bankers. William Bar rett Ridgely. the newly appointed Comp troller, Is a man whom ChicagoanS predict will become as prominent In national way as have MT. Dawes and MT. Eckels MT. Eckels who preceded MT. dH@Wes in office, held the position for longer time than any recent incumbent, having been appointed in Cleveland's administration With the success of these men as Comptrollers before them, the legislators are disposed to look favorably upon fur they honoring Mir Dawes.

WHAT WOULD IT BEP

The Eufaula Times very pertinently asks:
 Suppose the Barbour politicians who are fighting the new Constitution had them selves been the delegates from the coun- ty and the balance of the delegates over the State had been like them, what sort of an organic law would thy have gotten together? Would they have likely fram- before the people?
 The same question can very properly be nut to others who are fighting the Con- stitution. Those men who oppose 1t are not generally offering anything in Its place, and those who do show very con clusively that they do not know what they are talking about. The manifesto put forth by ex-Governor Johnston is not at all creditable to a man of his intelli- sence. Some of his arguments are so manifestly fallacious. unjust and mislead- ing that sensible and well informed men must wonder at his using them. That he did not expect intelligent men to accept his statements is more than probable, but he expected to lead and mislead those who are unable or unwilling to inform themselves and thus secure some follow ing in his unwise and unpatriotic efforts to defeat the will of the white people of Alabama. That he will fail Is evident for the people will not follow him.
 It would be interesting as well as en- tertatning to see the kind of Constitu-

THE ADvERTIsER HAS NO
 FEARS.

The Advertiser can and will convert thousands to it's way of thinking, and it is hoped its influence will redound to the present issue (which is temporary, is closed, and we hope Its one mistake in supporting the new Constitution will not initiate against It's future usefulness. Birmingham Times.
 The Advertiser also hopes that its in- fiuence and labors Twill rebound to the good of the State of Alabama" and is vain enough to believe that it twill con- vert thousands to its way of thinking, " and that way is the way to ratifying the new Constitution. As to the present issue being temporary-The Times was never more mistaken. It is an issue which is to have an important bearing in Alabama for generations to como, If our support of the Constitution is mistake It is one which is shared by the very best and most intelligent men in Alabama, and they are men whom the people can fol- low without question when the matter is as important as this one is.
 If The Advertiser was like some of its contemporaries, and would always wait to see which is the strongest side before taking its position. it would have less
 
 eeive less abuse and unjust criticism, but that has never been its way and will not be in the future. In this case it's adhesion to the right places 1t on the strong side of the issue It is keeping company with not only the bulk of the white people of Alabama, but with the very best and brightest of those people. The few really intelligent white politicians who are lead ing the opposition are so plainly aotuated by pique, disappointed ambition and a de- sire for revenge on those who refused to accept ther own views of their import ance, that the people can have no excuse for not seeing their motives and avoiding their leadership. It Is an instance where the way is so plain that "the wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err there in," and the observant people of Alabama need no X-ray or second sight to enable them to see the motives which control the leaders of the opposition.
 The Times will awake to a full realiza- tion of the fact that 1t is neither on the strong nor the right side of this issue. It will find that 1t is working against the best interests of the State, and, what is perhaps of more importance to its future, we believe it will find that 1t can not carry with it majority of the white Republicans of Alabama. The members of that party are not all controlled by prejudice and hatred of Democracy, and they will not fight what they must seC | is the best interests of the State and oi | all the people. The Times is going tC l feel lonesome before this campaign ends

Four Words Which Meant Millions

Will He Divide Timep
Dothan Siftings.

DOtNdN 5lIlIIBS.
 When little Joe Johnston comes down to lecture Dothan people against ratincas tion of the new Constitution, wonder if he will divide time, this time? We sus- pect that Johnston will be mighty hard man to get to come to Dothan to make speeches again. If he does, however. the same "coterie of black legs" will want the Judge to give one half the court house time to the advocates of the Con- stitution. The Siftings hopes they will send us Johnston, if they are to send any one here to harangue against the Constitution; for we know of no public man in Alabama for whom our people have more supreme contempt.

.oun AnvEnr1srNa REcoRp.

About a year ago The Advertiser called attention to its unprecedented showing of advertising for Sept. soth. 1see The az gregate was 1.1ss s-4 inches,
 On last Sunday. the corresponding date this year. the aggregate of advertising space used was 21A s-l.
 The gain of this year over the same date last year was s5s inches. which Is nearly s1 per cent--a most extraordinary increase.
 The greatest record in advertising space in The Advertiser. however. was made on December 18th of last .year-just before Christmas. Then the aggrekate was l.s'z inches. Last Sundays record of 2,1A s-4 beats that nearly 300 inches! So the record of last Sunday ECLIPsEs ANY THING AND EVERYTHING in The Advertisers history.
 A con parison of advertising with last Sundays issues of the other two leading morning papers of Alabama may be of in- terest. It is as follows:
 The Mobile Register .................. 7ba% The Birmingham Age-Herald.. ........l.sS The Advertiser .......................'z'
 It will be seen that The Advertiser aggregate is s15 s-4 inches greater than The Age-Herald's, the next highest record.
 A comparison with other leading South ern da,lies is still move interesting. Here it is:
 The Montgomery Advertiser ........ 2l44sA The Memphis Commercial-Appeal.. Z'lz11s The Louisville Courier-Journal .... i'ssS's The Birmingham Age-Herald ...... l'szs , The Richmond Dispatch ....'' l'oSo7s The Savannah News ................ l,sSo The New Orleans Picaypne........ l.44s The Nashville American ............ l.SSz The New Orleans Times-Democrat l.sslM The Chattanooga Times ............ llSsh The Jacksonville Times-Union...... LOSE The Charleston News ................ SS3A
 It will be seen Lud1 ! hS @'~N aggregate is greater than that in the leading papers in much larger citiesi like Memphis, Louisville. Richmond. savan- nah, New Orleans and Nashville. This demonstrates that not only is The Adver- tiser superb medium. but that Mont gomery's merchants are up-to-date, vide awake and progressive. They know the right sort of printers ink pays. and they prove their faith by their works.
 The Advertiser thanks the business men of this city for their admirable patronage, and promises that it will be more devoted to their interests, to the upbuilding and advancement of all Montgomery, than ever before, if this be possible.
 To its hustiing Advertising Manager MT. V. H. Hanson. great credit is due. He is devoted to the interests of the patrons of the paper, and his skill and experienced are always at their command.
