STATE THE FACTS.

The Advertiser asserts that it is only Conner papers that are trying to get We call on The Advertiser to name a single paper that is supporting Conner that has made any effort at all to get
 Johns,on ,tn to run, On the other hand. to the fact that The Huntsville Mer- cury, The Decatur News. The Montgom- cry Advertiser and others, have been busy trying to get Johnston to run.
 The opelika News. from which the | above is taken. should be more care- full in it's statements. It is not | true that The Montgomery Adver-
 tiser "has been busy trying to get John
 ston to run. On the contrary. weeks
 ago it declared that the rage for Gov ernor seemed to be confined to Cum l ningham and Conner, and that it would
 be folly for any others to enter. It has never uttered one word inconsistent with that statement. .+.
 Nor has it declared that 1t is only Conner papers that are trying to get Johnston into the gubernatorial race" If 1t had copied what The Advertiser did say, its readers. we think, would have formed a conclusion very different from the statement The News makes. Here is what The Advertiser said on this subject on the 9th of December:
 Several Conner papers are engaged in discussing unfounded reports of the probability of Lieutenant Governor Cunningham abandoning the race for Governor, and of ex-Governor Johnston becoming a candidate. The report about pr. Cunninghams probable with drawaI was n fake, pure and simple, and only intended to injure him. There never was any foundation for it. nor for the one that his friends desired ex- Governor Johnston to enter the race. The latter report is kept alive by Conner papers, for they can't name any Cunningham papers that have given intimation of desire for Johnston to enter the race.
 We have never said Conner papers were after Johnston to run. but simply that the report of the probability of his doing so was kept alive by Conner papers," We do not know what The Huntsville Mercury and Decatur News may do, but they certainly have not classed themselves in the Cunningham column. though we hope they will do so. We reiterate, we know of no Cum ningham papers that have sought to have Johnston enter the race.

A FEW auEsrroNs.

The New York Press is one of the most thorough and consistent Republi- can newspapers in the country, but it isn't afraid to speak it's mind on occa- sion.. Here is a sample:
 Tine contributions of money stolen from insurance trust funds were never PARTICIPATION that they would bring certain favors and fmmuntties 10 the givers. The life insurance largess to Mir. corteiyous committee was kept secret. Are there any others, equally ltscreditable to him, and Is this why
 he list of contributors is suppressed.
 We are in hearty accord with Mir. aoosevelt's wish for law to compel publicity for these gifts. But MT. Roosevelt does not have to wait for 8 law to be passed in order to give pub One Of the very best ways to promote the passage of such a law, to set the example for future campaigns and show the beneficial effect Of such pub telyon to publish the full list of the 1000 contributors. of whom Messrs. Mccall. McCudy and Hyde were three.
 When MT. Roosevelt so fiercely de- nied the charge that his campaign had been assisted by corporation funds. and so fierceIy denounced the author of the charge. his admirers doubtless believed him sincere and had faith that if he found he was mistaken he would set himself and his Party right. How has their confidence been rewarded? Has he made any move towards fighting the wrong he did to ain eminent geh- tlemen? Has he made any attempt to punish or to even censure the guilty parties? Why has he failed to do what was his plain duty in the premises? Is it because he was politically bene- fited by the contributions? Is it be- cause some of his friends and support CTS in high places were among the wrong -doers? Is it because member of his official family is plastered over with the mud of corrupt contributions?
 These are pertinent questions which none of his admirers have seen proper or safe toi answer. Beginning with himself and going down through Cabi- net officers and other prominent men of his party, they are all mum. He somewhat vociferously declared that if any corruption fund has been used by insurance companies, the money should be ret -rned and the sinners ex- posed, but when he learned who would suffer by exposure, silence like 8 poul- tice came." and it has not been re- moved. To remove 1t would expose fostering. gangrenous ulcers that would make right-thinking men sick at heart, and he dare not do it.

MR. coarrR,s sPEEcH.

The Advertiser surrenders much of it's space in order to give a full report of Mir. B. B. Corners speech at Tuscaloosa, last Saturday.
 It has been our effort to report him fairly and one of the best men of our stan heard him at Talladega. His re- port of that speech we have every req son to believe, was absolutely correct Some differences drawn from the speech were disputed by Mir. Conner. but in the Tuscaloosa speech. he rem ders himself liable to the same infer ences. because he does practically seek to dictate to the people whom they shall elect to office next year. True. ne does not specify names, but he demands that they must be men holding his pe- cuiiar views. and the inference is fair that he seeks to dictate nominations.
 The report Is a complete record of all that he said in that Tuscaloosa speech, and the people, we believe. will be amazed to find that the host of Alabama Governors, legislators. members of Con- stitutionai Convention and all State of- ficers for years past were dominated by influences hostile to the interests of the State. That is what he practi- cafly says. Read in cold type what he deliberately said to an audience of Alabama people.
 If such men as ex-Supreme Court Justices Coleman and Walker. ex-Chan- cellor Williams and the vast array of other good men who composed the Con- stitutional Convention of 1901 were too weak to resist the domination of out side and corrupt interests. where can you look for safety? Yet Mir. Conner puts all in the same boat of railroad domination and unfitness and inability to discharge their duty because of "en- vironment." Verify. he is run mad in his wild egoism. and has come to be- lieve he is the only honest man now before the people.
 His denunciation of the newspapers is equally as fierce. and except a chosen few who supported him, they were all bought with price last year. We ask our newspapes. friends to read de- what ne says about them, and the low influences that govern them in the conduct of their papers.
 We will take occasion at another time to refer more at length to other fea- lures of this speech, which Is practi- caiiy the one that he has delivered at different places in the State.

So far as we have noticed. The Port land Express is the only newspaper to declare that the length of the Presi- dents message was ''one of its chief virtues" If that were all the good to be found in the document. we should be inclined to exclaim in the words of Addison. Curse all his virtues" We suppose If it had been twice as long. The Express would have pronounced 1t twice as good. Or, does The Express so on the theory that it's great length pre- vented it from being read?

We often hear of independent mem- bers of legislative bodies. but the Ohio that we have heard of. There are eighteen Republicans and eighteen Democrats in that body and one mem- Der who does not belong to either party. If there ever was a man who could afford to feel thoroughly inde- pendent this man is the one, for both parties will need him when it comes to voting.

As to JaiI Improvements.

T am glad to note that the Board of Revenue Is going to have improve ments made in the county jail," said a citizen yesterday: If there Is anything that needs improvement and enlarge. ment, 1t is that jail. The Board has not acted any too soon. We have needed snls Tor several years. If for nothing but the sake of humanity. I think the improvements are essential But our city is growing and hence there are more inmates of the jail. We need oners and also we need q place where the prisoners can be kept in entire safety without chance of escape As tore entirely down and a new one erected on modern plans that would suit the demands of these times"

The talk now is whether Hearst is seated as Mayor of New York or not he intends to be candidate for Gov ornor. If he becomes Mayor, he will use the office to further his ambition and if he is not successful in his pres ent effort. he will run as an independ- ent candidate for Governor, posing as a victim of Tammany. It Is hard to get rid of a demagogue.

 The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York is in the market to pur. chase one first-class, untainted repu- tation. and if this can be secured in filling the office of president no aues- tions will be ased concerning the abil- ity or skill of the chosen man as a life insurance manager. The rumor that Lawyer Hughes may be elected should be dismissed as of no importance. MT.

Using TyneMriferx.

Did you ever notice the earnestness with which most people adhere to one kind of typewriter?" asked a citizen yesterday. T know one man who has used as many as four different machines In as many years. The first machine just suited him. He would not have exchanged 1t for any other in the world. This is what he actually told the representatives of several type- writer manufacturers. Finally. in a leisurely moment he induced himself machine from what he used when he learned to write. At first he was dis appointed. The next week l saw him pecking away on the new typewriter with little more satisfaction. The next month he was using the second machine altogether. I asked him if he had deserted the original. He won dered then how he could have ever become attached to 1t. and said he would not lapse again into using such a ragged bunch of keys. Finally. third and fourth man swapped him one or their machines and he was just as much in love with each of them as he was the first two in order It simply fellow. It blinds him for a period
 This period is gradually growing short
 The actual merits of all thisgs are be- ing given their due consideration more than in the past. It Is a condition de- voutly to be wished. It opens the way for fairness and competition. It guar antees justice to all sides. Very fre- quently. in the case Of typewriter changes. it is fastidiousness which con- trols person. Mostly, however 1t is the survival of the Attest machine

Cartoon is illustrated.

T saw one of The Advertisers car- toons illustrated in real life today" said Montgomery business man. Tt was the cartoon that Artist Spangler drew several days ago, in which was shown a drove of wild mules running recklessly through the streets, a run away horse dragging a buggy in front of the drove and men, women and chill dren fleeing for their limbs and lives
 Well. about o'clock this afternoon that scene was executed almost per- fectly at Dexter Avenue and Lawrence street. The large drove of mules with their screaming, gesticulating drivers, had frightened a horse attached to a buggy near the county courthouse and the horse broke from his fastening and started at full speed out Lawrence street dragging the buggy behind him The mules were at his heels and the fright of the horse increased with every leap.
 When the frightened animals reach ca the avenue. a lady broke into a run Tor cover and a nurse trundIing a baby Tn a cart. fled in another direction. There was Mir. Spangler's picture. No doubt he had seen it before and had sketched it from life.
 ! "A Birmingham man who stood with me and viewed the scene, expressed his disgust that Montgomery would never De rated city as long as our local laws allowed such things in our streets"
