CAMPAIGN GUNS
At MONTGOMERY
Johnston and Waller Speak to
Crowd of $50
REMARKSWtRE NOTWCl0US
MIR. Walker Advocates New Election
Law-Says If Senator Meador
Was Done Justice He Would
Get Out of the Race.

Montgomery, July 24.-(SpeciaD-one of
the issues in the present campaign is
the size of the audiences. Professor Nc
Donald, at whose theatre the Johnston
Waller campaign was launched here to-
night. says he counted them and $50 white
men and one negro were in the house,
Charles r. Moritz. member of the cam
paign committee. presided and Waller
opened the speaking with a sharp at
tack on Governor Jelks. The two points
of attack were that Governor Jelks is
an accident and that he was an elev-
enth hour man on the primary band
wagon coming to it after the fight was
won. Mr.. Waller described the organi-
cation behind the primary and now be-
hind himself and Johnston as extending
to every hamlet in the state. He advocat-
ed new election law abolishing the Aus
tralian system.
AS to DR.. Cunningham.
He uniformly alluded to DIR. Cunning
ham, rival candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor, as "glittering generallties'' and de-
scribed the entry of Knox and others
into the Jellxs camp to a desire to prevent
Bankhead from monopolizing the sena-
torial possibilities.
Mr.. Waller made the statement that IL
they would take Cunningham down and
right the wrong done to Senator Meador
he would get out None of his salIles
We're vicious and they provoked great
laughter. He declared his readiness to
saf.,
Mr.. Johnston reviewed his administra-
ton briefly, declared that not a dollar
of the peoples money had been wrong
fully spent and challenged any one in
the audience to name an instance. He
provoked considerable applause by sew
ing, Il am in a city where many bitter
things are said Of me. Name the dollar
now and don't wait to stick your dirty
knife in my back after I am gone"
Making Fight on Principle.
The speaker declared that he was run
ming only for governor. He was making
the fight on the principle that the people
should nominate their officers and not a
political ring, a sentiment warmly APP
plauded. He expressed regret that Gov
ernor jerks had not accepted his invita-
ton to a joint discussion.
If the Governor was here he would ask
him to name one single thing he had
done except to decapitate a colonel and
few majors. The former governor s
sallies, like those of Mr.. Waller, were not
vicious and all applause was tempered
with laughter. He said the new consti-
tuition both in its letter and spirit would
never get to supreme court because
Jelks would be out of 1t after August rs.
Altogether the opening of the campaign
at the capitol was characterized by good
temper, personal sallies at the expense
OF Governor Jelks being its dominant
note. Mr.. Knox was in the audience and
seemed to enjoy it greatly.

During the wal with Mexico, the

on the mainland as suitable sites for

such purposes, and still belong to the

unnecessary.
