Geneva, Ala, August 16 1902.
Hon. Richard Fl. Clark and Hon. e. NJ.
Robinson, both of Mobile held a debate
In Geneva county. Mr. Clark presented
the opening address and spoke an hour
and fifty minutes. All of this time was
devoted to an argument IN FAVOR of the
new constitution and its beneficial feat
ures The trend of lis argument seemed
to be that If a majority of the white peo-
pie of Alabama should gain control OF
the state, then the new organic law
would be dead letter; that 1t needed the
attention and care Of its advocates to
keep it alive.
Mr.. Robinson replied In a speech an
hour and ten minutes long and complete
~ riddled Mr.. Clark's argument with
pure Democratic bullets shot from a
Democratic gun. Mr.. Robinson made the
nest forcible and logical speech ever de-
livered from the courthouse, and many
times during its deliverance he was near
~ forced to stop speaking on account of
the continued applause His speech made
meny votes for Governor Johnston and
honest politics in Alabama. Mr.. Robinson
easily had the best of this debate and all
of the enthusis SIN seemed to be In ac-
cord with his ideas. This county is safe
for Johnston.
