The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-11-04

to the interest of the Democratic vot- CTS displayed In the election. The work of the committee, of which MT. Smith is the head, has been to stimu- late the interest of tho voters of the State. It has been the purpose of the committee to make the Democratic ma jorty as large as possible. It is gen erally believed, too. that the majori- ty will he even larger than it was four years ago when Governor Jelks over whelmingly defeated John Anthony Winston smith, the Republican nomi- nee.
 Iu that election Governor Jelks re- ceiN ed a total of 67.763. The result of the election was assured in advance and a number of Democrats, as shown by the returns, did not take the trouble to gn to the polls and assist in cer- tainty. The total vote of MT, Smith in that election was 24,736. It Is con- fidently believed that the Republican vote will not be near so large this year. in view of the fact that the re- ferees' wing of the party has been secretly If not openly opposing the ticket headed by Judge Stratton. It should not be forgotten. however. that tae Socialists have this year q ticket In the field. The head of this ticket is J. N. Abbott. a contractor and a carpenter. The newspaper dispatches last week carried the news that he had been awarded the contract for put ting up store house in tusSellvlli@. The Socialist vote will figure in the general returns in Alabama even less than the Democratic vote.
