campbell's Statement.

Birmingham, Nov. b.-tSpec1al )-Hon.
E.. K. Campbell, chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Campaign Committee, this
morning gave out the following state
ment. anent the election yesterday:
I'VE have elected all the Congressman,
the entire State ticket, and have the Leg
islature by an overwhelming majority.
In fact, the opposition in the next Gen.
eral Assembly will be less than 1t was
in the last. We do not coneede that a
straightout Republican has been elected
to the Legislature from any county in
the State. The majority for the State
ticket will certainly not fall below the
estimate of 1900, which l gave out Sat
urday, and it may go to $1,000. / am
the Republicans have made. We thought
they would poll more votes than they
did. l believe the Democratic party ia
stronger for this contest. The Demo
Gratis have regained control in a number
Of counties, and this will rebound to the
benefit Of the party in the county elections
two years hence.
There is no doubt of Burnett's cleo
ton in the Seventh by handsome ma
jority. / have wire from him in which
no estimates his majority at upward o.
1900. This is brilliant victory, consid
ering the fight which was made agains
him. The party Is now well organized II
the Seventh. We are especially gratifiec
by the election of Lusk to the Legisla
| ture from Marshall County.
There is no doubt of the election o
| Bowie in the Fourth. He made a grea
| fight and deserved to win.
THE Democratic press throughout tn
| State has rendered invaluable assistance
and in the name of the Campaign Com
| mittee, ] thank it's representatives, 70
| their considerations at all times"
This afternoon the Democratic campaign
headquarters closed.
The conduct of the campaign by tn
Democratic and Republican managers II
this State was clean. 1t was free of al
personalities except in the Seventh Con
gressional District, where the nature o
the contest for Congress made 1t impos
sible to eliminate the personal factor
The personal relations betw,e the mem
| bership of tie two State Campaign Com
n1ittees has been If a cordial nature.
Chairman Cook of the Republican Cam
paign Committee in the State this morn
| ing conceded Governor Jelks's reelection
by about 10000.
THE entire vote will reach about 10000
OF which the Democrats will have abou
$500 and Republicans about $4,000" h.
stated. Continuing, re said: In tn
Seventh District, our candidate. Oliver d
Street, has been elected. despite claim
of the Democrats, and he will represen
that district in the next Congress"
The Republicans appear to be satisfied
at the showing made IL the election, ant
are not backward in expressing a griev
| ance at President Roosevelt for his an
| tagonistic attitude toward the Lily Whit
movement in this State A conference IL
said to be on between the leaders in TIN
State among the Republicans. Stat
Chairman w. 1. Wellman and the Ma
tional Committeeman of Alabama, Dim
mick of Montgomery, were here thi'
| morning. The question now before tn
party is said TO be the maintenance of tn
| organization on the lines mapped out a
tho last State Convention. There Is yer.
| little doubt but that the organization viii
be continued, despite the defeat and tn
apparent antagonsm of the administra
ton and immediate efforts will probabl
| be made to strengthen 1t.
