CAPT. JOHNSTON'S SPEECH

Montgomery, August 4-Governor jerks
this morning while commenting upon the
speech Ex-Governor Johnston is making
over the state. said:
Il see that Governor Johnston is re-
ported as saying in a speech at Selma that
I had favored negroes in democratic pri-
maries during some part of my twenty
years labor as an editor. The ex-governor
should specify when ] took this position.
I should like to read the editorial to
which he refers. I am not only not in ia
vor of the participation of negroes in
democratic primaries, but I have been
fighting for twenty years to have large
part of the negro vote eliminated from
elections. In this position 1 have occupied
a very different attitude from that of
Ex-Governor Johnston. who. for three
years. has fought for their retention on
the poll list

Il note that the ex-governor says that
I declared that I would appoint no man
registrar who voted against ratification.
I never made use of any such remark
might have said I would oppose the ap-
pointment of any man who was opposed
to the declared purposes of the constitu-
toni might have said this most empha-
tieally. A man who voted against the
constitution merely because he was afraid
the promises would not be carried out
was. Ia my view. quite eligible as a reg
istrar The appointing board, 1 think,
acted with great wisdom in all 1.-THE eoun-
ties. The board is quite proud of its
work in this connection. I think the
ex-governor cannot complain of it.
Il am in receipt of occasional inquiries
about my position on the election of the
railroad commission by the people My
position has been defined in hundreds of
letters for weeks, in thousands of clrcu-
lars and in the public print. l will
promptly approve any proper bill calling

TAKE NO SUBSTITUTE!

The great popularity of Peruna
as : cafarrh remedy has tempted
many people to initiate Peruna.
A great many so-caIIed catarrEI
remedies and cafarrh fOnics are
TO be found In many drug stores.
These remedies can be procured
by the druggist very much cheaper
than Peruna. PeruDa can only
be obtained at q uniform price
and no druggist can get ii cent
cheaper.
Thus it Is tnaf druggists are
tempted 70 substitute the cheap
limitations of Peruna for Peruna.
1t is done every day without a
doubt.
When a patient calls at drug
store to procure some Peruna and
the druggist recommends some
thing else that will be just as good,
ii may be that he does not always
recognize the responsibility that
he Is taking upon himself. Such
substitute Is always sure TO re-
suit In failure.
The claim of Pernna to being
the standard cafarrh remedy of
the world is based upon the fOI-
lowing facts:
