made il plain at their county convention
saturday that no matter v hat members
Of their party IN other paris of The State
i may do. they are seeking no alliance With
II. ne a."i u ey are going straight
st.mn the line" with their own ticket.
Notwithstanding the advice of r. NJ.
| Cooper, the State chairman. and the
Rev. Robert Watt, who think it would
not be advisable to nominate candidates
for legislative Offices at this time, the
party in convention in Wilmington on
Saturday decided it would be best to
name full ticket as far as possible. Tt
was finally decided it would be best to
put full ticket in the field and especially
in those districts in which there had been
active work by the State Temperance
Alliance in getting signature for the local
option pledge, and where there was
probability Of either OF the other parties
being able to elect members of the Legis-
lature who were in favor of submitting
the local option vote to the people. The
state committee was authorized to fill all
vacancies. The Prohibition ticket named
Saturday follows; Prothonotary, Charles
E. Wilson; Clerk OF the Peace, Nathan

 The city of Cullman and the county of Cullman enjoy the unique distinction for an Alabama city and county of hav- ing a respectable Republican party as we'll as a Democratic party. Naturally the negro does not figure in politics. The negro problem Is an abstract ques- tion to the Cullman County man. As q result the parties are very nearly evenly divided. Both parties have won victories in the past and neither of them has a wide or overwhelming ma jority of voters.
 There are many housekeepers throughout Alabama who have dreamed of getting a German girl for a house girl and for all time doing away with the responsibility of negro servants, Every issue of the papers here have carried advertisements offering good homes and good salaries to such girls. Business people of Cullman have been repeatedly applied to by South Alabama friends to use their good offices toward securing white servant girls.
 There were no answers to the adver- tissments. The dream of the house. keepers will not be realized There are no German girls to be had for domestic service. but their parents are thrifty anS prosperous and there is no need for the girls to go away from home and enter service.
 The available supply of girls for domestic service iS not near sufficient to meet Cullman's demands. In fact in the absence of negroes the servant problem Is an acute one In Cullman

 piles; indeed, dreaded when had to Ngo to stool. One fifty cent box cured he. feel like a new man. I have recommended it to others as being the most wonderful remedy known. It is indeed a great blessing to suffering humanity. You are at liberty to use this for all it is worth. and I hope it may do good" Rev. W. E. Carr, 355 No. Holbrook St. Danville, Va.
 Clergymen (like all professional men who lead sedentary Iives) are especial ly addicted to piles. in various forms, and are continually on the lookout for remedy which will give relief, with little or no idea of obtaining a cure.
 Recognizing this fact, Rev. Mir. Carr der that other sufferers may know Cure, which is sold by druggists every where for the low price of fifty cents a package. and which will bring about for every one afflicted with piles, the same beneficial results as in his own case. Be careful to accept no substi tutes. and remember that there is nc remedy just as good"

In. a thousand and more precincts to- day the voters of Alabama will register their condemnation of the administra- tion of Theodore Roosevelt and of the class policies for which the Republican Party stands. 3
 Alabama Is expected to give Alton
 B. Parker a larger plurality than the State gave William Jennings Bryan in the campaign of four years ago. when
 imperialism was the chief issue. In
 1900 Bryan received a plurality of
 Al, 900. Leading Democrats are of the
 opinion that the plurality of the Dem-
 ocratic Party will considerably top
 these figures today. This was the opin-
 ion of State officials yesterday. men whose experience and training has pe- trend of political opinion.
 Competent political observers say that Roosevelt will not poll the normal Republican vote in Alabama. He will,
 of course. poll the full office holding
 vote, which is no inconsiderable DOT
 tion of the party's strength in Ala bama. The rank and file of the party, the men who have voted the ticket Of the Republicans without any hopes or 1 dreams of officeholding, live in the
 white counties, the hill counties of the l State. These voters are set against the negro policy of the President. They have voted the Republican ticket in the past, not on account of the negro. but | in spite of the negro. The negro. how ever, was not showed upon them in the past as he has been in recent years, and in this campaign. The hill men, | the white farmer on the hillsides of North Alabama, entertain a deeper aversion to the negro than the man who lives farther south in the State. Activity of Democratic Speakers. The Democratic speakers in the State | campaign have been shrewd enough to take full advantage of this well known fact. The negro question. the Presi- dents policy, has been shown up and | driven home to the voter upon every stump on which a Democratic speaker | has addressed the voters. This has l had its effect. The men who have been campaigning in the white sections
 say that men will vote the Democratic | ticket in, Alabama who have never | voted 1t before. They say that the
 normal Republican vote in these sec- tions will be cut greatly.
 This condition is especially pronounce
 ed in the Seventh District where Con- l gressman John L. Burnett is opposed | by T. W. Powell, who has the SUD- l port of both the Republicans and the Populists. In this district Is the only | serious fight against a Democratic 1 Congressional nominee. In all the oth.
 CT eight districts of the State the op- position is inconsequential.
 An active fight and a winning fight

 The other eight Democratic Congress- men who will be elected are c. W. Tay- J. Bowie. ]. Thomas Hefiin, ]. H. Bank head, William Richardson and Oscar Underwood.
 The election today will vote for eleven Democratic electors. Their names will be printed under the Demo cratic emblem of the rooster. The voter will cast his ballot for the Presi- dent of the Railroad Commission for g Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and six Associate Justices. He will, more- over, In all counties cast his ballot for the other judicial officers, circuit judges, solicitors and chancellors.
 Moreover, all county officers except sheriffs will be voted for today. The sheriffs had their terms of office ex- tended by the legislature and they will hold over for two years when .sissy ney ' officers voted for today will include justices of the peace and constabies.
