THE DEADLY PARALLEL. MT. Smith Is Conservative and Repre-
 sents No Faction. MT. Conner Is the Candidate of Capital ists and Appeals to Prejudice
 and Passion.

From the Huntsville Mercury. l. Smith does not represent any fac
 ton but stands by, for and with the peo-
 pie.
 Coner is a candidate of a clique of Bir-
 mingham capitalists and if elected he will
 attempt to bankrupt the railroads in or
 der that he and his associates may reap golden harvest in the process of de-
 struction.
 9 Smith appeals to reason, patriotism, and conservatism.
 Conner appeals to passions and preju-
 dices and ignores the sense of reason. B. Smith proposes to be governed by
 the law and the evidence when passing
 upon questions brought before the rail
 road commission.
 Conner has already rendered his decis- ion, a biased judge before election; yet
 masquerading in the guise of fairness
 and impartiality.
 1. Smith has no private interest to
 conserve but stands ready to mete out JuotiSC to iuc Wiiolt ptpplti tO ucdl
 fairly by all classes of citizens. Conner admits that he has personal
 grievances against the railroads and
 seeks to debauch the democratic party by using it as vehicle to convey him l into office in order that he may dea disaster in seeking to avenge the wrongs I he claims have been done him. l 5. Smith conclusively proves that Ala
 bama has cheaper freight rates than Georgia and introduces the rate sheets of the railroads to substantiate him fir his contention.
 Conner seeks to crystalize sentiment
 against the railroads and in his favor by
 insisting that the people of Alabama are the victims of unjust discrimination as compared to Georgia, but he is guilty oi
 circulating misleading statements, for a | comparison of the rates in the two states proclaims the fact that Alabama enjoys
 cheaper rates than Georgia. 6. Smith stands for progress, develop.
 ment and commercial prosperity 1 Conner advocates policies that if made effective would cause capital to flee from
 our borders, and conspire to stife the
 industrial prosperity now enjoyed by the people of Alabama

BY H. w. CRAWFORD.

Jasper, April 1.-(Special.) 1.-The resolu- tion passed by the democratic executive committee of Walker county, which met here yesterday, fixing the qualifications of voters who shall participate in the approaching primary does not seem to meet the approval of all the members of the party, and it is apparent that the resolution will be fought, it being held that the county committee has no author ity to prescribe the qualifications of voters
 ]. A. Higgins, committeeman from beat No. 1S it Is said, is heading the fight against the resolution, and he proposes to carry 1t before the state executive com mittee. The following letter is the ground on which MT. Huggins bases his claims. The letter is from the Hon H. S. D. Mallory, chairman of the state dem ocratic executive committee and is dat ed at Selma, Ala, March 27 1904 The letter is as follows:
 Mr. J. A. Huggins, Corona, Ala:
 Dear Sir: 1 have your letter of March 27 and in answer to your inquiry say that the state executive committee alone have the right to prescribe the party qualifications of voters in the coming democratic primary. This right existed before the state primary law, but any question as to that right has been re- moved by the act to regulate primary elections in the state of Alabama, ap- proved October 1, 1903. By reference to section 10 of that act you will see that all persons who are qualified electors un- der the general election laws of this state have the right to participate in the pri- mary elections (democratic) subject to such political qualifications as may be prescribed by the democratic state exec utive committed
 The state executive committee may del- egate to the county executive committee the power to prescribe the qualifications of voters in such primary elections so far as the nomination of county officers is concerned. but the state executive com mittee has not delegated such power to the county committees, hence the county committees have no power to prescribe qualifications of voters in the coming primary, but are bound by the qualjfica- tions prescribed by the state committee. You will find section 10 referred to on page 35S and S59 of the acts of 1903.
 Very truly yours.

Conservatism.

From the Demopolis Express.
 vote for John V. Smith for president of the railroad commission means pro- gress, justice and conservatism. It means appreciation for friendship Mir. Smith has always been a friend to Marengo, and es- pecially to Demopolis: therefore let's give him a splendid support in this county.
 Beware of Conner! He has never dis tinguished himself for unselfshness. Doubtless he has motives nimical to our interests. Demopolis is a considerable dis tributing point. and is growing rapidly in this direction. MT. Conner Is too radical and dangerous. You can't tell how far against our interests he will go in fur thering other ends.

Elect a Conservative Man.
m the Montgomery Journal.

From the Montgomery Journal.
 Every citizen of Alabama is vitally in- terested in the election of a conservative, fair-minded man as president of the rail- road commission. The state owes it to the railroads to see that they are fairly and impartially dealth with, and not held up for the benefit of those who have only their own selfish interests to serve. The railroads are as much entitled to com mon justice as the people who patronize them, just as the merchant is entitled to the same protection as the customer who buys his goods. Discrimination against either would be wrong.
 Among the candidates for president of the railroad commission, Mir. Conner op- enly faunts his hostility to the railroads, and without regard to his ability to carry out his promises, he proposes to make such wholesale reductions in freight rates in Alabama as would materially interfere with the safety and expedition of traffic, If not plunge every railroad in the state into hopeless bankruptcy.
 Has such a man any business on the railroad commission? Mir. Conner s schemes are designed for his own exclu- sive benefit, and he could not be trusted to administer the affairs of the office i1 the interest of the people.
 There is no fight between the people of Alabama and it's railroads, and even if there was. would 1t not be unjust to place such a partisan as Mir. Conner on the commission where he would be re- quired to act as arbiter in a case which he has already prejudged? Let us have fair and open dealings with the railroads Let us place men on the commission who are neither preiudiced for nor against the railroads, for they are today above all others the greatest factors in Alabama's s development and prosperity.

Jasper, April 1.--(Special )-Among denn- ocrats, irrespective of whether they are supporters of Banllhead or Hobson. the action of the executive committee of Walker county yesterday, in putting itself on record as fayoring allowing none but democrats to vote, and inforcing the rule requiring all who have not heretofore af- ffliated with the democratic party to sign q pledge to :he effect that they now be- lieve in democratic principles, and will support all the nominees of the party seems to be giving general satisfaction.
 However there is some complaint by Hobson leaders and a few republicans over the action of the committee. It was stated this morning by supporters of Captain Hobson that the case would cer- tainly be appealed to the state commit- tee, it being urged that the committee of Walker county was without authority to require written pledge from any qualified elector who offered to vote The friends of Congressman Bankhead claim that the action of the committee was clearly within the rules prescribed by the state committee, and that the action was to put into force and effect the rules laid down by the state committee
 Frierls of Colonel Bankhsad assert that there is an organized attempt to vote re- pullicans and state that b. R Painter. a prominent republican of Brookwood Tuscaloosa county, who Is the father of I hil Painter, private secretary to Cap tain Hobson. has been in Walker counrv for such a purpose. They also state that the appeal of J. A. Higgins from the ac tion of the county committee is frivilous and merely intended to cause friction.
 l.. B. Musgrove is reported to have stated that the action of the committee of Walker county was an outrage; that the committee lad no right to require q written declaration from any qualified elector irr espective of party affiliations
 From 2 non-pf rtisan standpoint f. would seem that Colonel Bankhead wants tr Lave the primary strictly democratic, and that Captain Hobson wishes to allow every qualified eleotor to vote without question as to party affiliations.
