Both Jelks and Johnston Managers
Claim County.
Mobile, Aug 23.-(SpeciaD-The suber-
material campaign ended here tonight
with separate meetings. by the jerks ana
Johnston factions.
A rain storm about the hour of the
meetings interfered with their opening on
time. The Jelks meeting was held In
Bienville Square and there were about
three or four hundred persons present at
the beginning. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Hon. Richard H. Clarke and
Hon. Gregory l.. Smith Mr.. Clarke made
a very lucid address. detailing at length
former Governor Johnstons position on
the new Constitution. the unvarying OPP
position to it, and of the unfairness he
used in handling many of the questions
involved by telling what the speaker
denominated as half truths" His adj
dress was we'll received, and in closing he
was urgent in asking the people to sup
port good men for the Legislature. He
said he was not given to Boosting, but
he did not believe that Johnston could
carry ten counties in the State. He said
he believed Johnston was running just to
make himself a stalking horse to get a
Johnston Legislature and Johnston State
Executive Committee. He tore to pieces
and said he was confident that Jelks
would carry Mobile County by a good
ma jority.
Mr.. Smith detailed the benefits of the
new Constitution and gave at length the
reasons of the members of the Constitu-
ton for many of the enactments. He re-
ferred to his treatment of ex-Tax Col
lector Lott and of his bondsmen as an
exhibition of the fairness Of which John
ston prated so much.
The Johnston meeting was held in Ger
man Relief Hall and there were about $50
present, ex-Solicitor Leslie B. Sheldon
presided and the meeting was addressed
by General Harrison. ex-Attorney Gem
eral w. C. Fits and E. l.. Russell Cen
eral Harrison jumped on The Advertiser
and said it did not report him correctly,
that the man who reported him was deaf.
and he read a letter from Oates to that
effect. Explaining his defeat by Jeks
for the Presidency he said that he with
drew before the race and that was the
reason Jelks defeated him. He said he
never would believe that the Lord re-
moved Sanford to replace him with little
Jelks.
Mr.. Russell defended Johnston from a
charge of being opposed to the Mobile
system of public schools by reading a let
ter from DR.. e. L. Marechal, President
of the Board of School Commissioners,
tsetfying to Governor Johnston's influ-
ence in defeating the Seymour bill.
Mr.. Fits devoted most of his speech
to scoring Gregory Smith for writing the
letter which some OF Johnstons adherents
are charged with purloining. Chairman
Goldsby of the Jelks Campaign Commit
tee, said tonight that he did not see
how it is possible for Jelks to lose Mo-
bile County, and he thought he would
carry 1t by good majority.
Chairman e. B. Kirkbride, chairman of
the Johnston Campaign Committee. gave
out this signed statement: Mobile Coun-
ty is Johnston by five hundred majority.
The drift has been our way for ten DAYS.
All reports from up the State are mil
formly good and Johnston is a sure win
ner."

Jelks's Friends

Troy, Aug. &-(SpeciaL)-The situation
here is entirely satisfactory to the friends
of Governor Jelks. Pike County may be
ssfely placed in the Jelks column by at
least 800 majority. Even the most SAN
guine friends of Johnston admit Jelks's
election. and only differ as to the ma
jority he will receive. Between $500 and
$500 votes WIN be polled. ana under no
circumstances can Johnston hope to re-
ceive more than LOCO The above is a
most conservative estimate obtained
from well-informed citizens from every
part of the county.
