MAKES GOOD MANY CHARGES
Assertion That Thousands Who Were
Lifelong Democrats Remained
Away From PrImsry-Vote of
Certain Counties Analysed.

Former Governor Joseph r. Johnston
declined to make a statement after his
defeat for the gubernatorial nomination
bamian. which Is known to represent the
ex-governor. contains the following:
Never in the history of Alabama has a
more unfair, INSCRIPTIONS and disgrace
full campaign been waged inside the
democratic party.
There were two candidates for governor
both democrats. One had supported
every nominee and platform; the other
had supported the nominees.
1t was an alleged family contest, and
yet every morning daily of general circu-
lation In the state took bitter and par
tisan stand for Mr.. Jelks. and cut off
ston, except for pay, and misrepresented
the situation and the issues.
Johnston was represented by many
speakers and newspapers as designing
an overthrow of the constitution and
the restoration of the right of the suf-
frage to the disfranchised negroes. when
they knew this was utterly false. He
had to pay twenty cents a line to deny
the false charges made against him. No
falsehood was too imsy to be used, no
SANDER was too foul to be employed
against this veteran democrat
The state committee had on 1t but one
Johnston man out of thirty-fve and it
began its partisan work by denying to
Governor Johnston and his friends any
opportunity of canvassing the state by
ordering a primary within thirty days.
Nearly every county committee was for
Jellzs. and many OF them denied john
ston a single representative in the ballot
box, and some of the committees issued
instructions to compel every voter chal-
lenged to take an oath that he had al
ways voted the democratic ticket and
would continue to do so.
In one box In one county, where 100
ballots were marked In ink for Johnston
the managers graciously counted so votes
for him. The last ruling of the state
committee that all challenged votes
should be sent up to be judged by the
county committees was a fair notice that
If necessary every one would be excluded.
The machine decreed the nomination of
Jelks and the question Of votes was
quite immateriai.
1'hoss who had voted for Mckinley over
Bryan two years ago were invited In, but
man who dared vote against some I'M
trustworthy local candidate was express
ly excluded.
With few honorable exceptions tho
county officials were to a man with the
machine. Secret promises to extend the
terms of these officials were heard all
over the state.
1t is scarcely surprising that under
these circumstances the great body OF
honest democrats refused to participate.
Thousands who were lifelong democrats
remained away from the polls and other
thousands were driven away by unlawful
exactions.
Names of thousands of Johnston men
who had paid their poll tax were left off
the list. and these being required to pro-
duce receipts, Indignantly refused to vote.
The people refused to vote. Take these
counties as an illustration on the vote for

Negro Leaders Views.
A special to the Age-Herald from De-
catur says:
II. v. Corbin. the leading colored re-
publican OF Alabama gave out a state
of the colored republicans who are reg
istered voters in regard to the republi-
can county conventions which were held
throughout the state today. He said sub
stantially:
There was no agreed action by the
colored republicans Of the state with re-
spect to the party conventions. but the
few hundreds who have been registered
refrained from all participation therein.
thereby giving ample opportunity to
build up q republican party under con-
ditions which appear to many white re-
publicans as most promising and which
would presents the least embarrassment
to those who have hitherto voted with the
democracy on racial conditions while
differing with their party upon state and
general questions. Besides, 1t is general
ly admitted that popular government is
at present nullity In the state and 1t ia
commended that the situation Is due to
a past or present fear OF negro domina-
tions therefore If the voluntary dis
reimbursement of the few remaining coll
ored electors will contribute nearly or re-
motely to the restoration of civil lib
erty, can conceive Of no nobler sacrifice
or more imperative duty"

WILL OCCUPY
THE BIG PLANT

the mammoth new factory recently
erected on Twenty-fourth and Cary

within the next month the big plant

Recent rumors among the tobacco trade
were to the effect that the Whltloch
branch would stay where it is and that
the new building would be turned over
to the Continental Tobacco Company,
which, it is said. has decided not to erect
the proposed Bowe Street factory. Inese
rumors were given out by the fact that

the plant and then moved out again, anu

captet as true Now, however. comes

lock that he will be in the new factory

ing that he is even now getting ready LOT
the removal.
Just what the Continental proposes do
ing could not be learned. It Is reported,
however, that it will, in all probability
remain in it's present quarters, on
Seventh Street.
THE REPORTS DENIED.
The reports printed yesterday to
the effect that a number OF the
girls employed at the Whitloc'' Branch
had gone on a strike because some OF
their work was thrown out, are au-
