Replies to Criticisms Directed
Against Him
DETRACTORS ANSWERED
Mr.. Knox, a Candidate for Senatorial
Succession, Gives Out Very Pointed
Interview-Interestin State
ment of Facts.

John B. Knox of Calhoun candidate for
alternate senator was in Birmingham yes
terday. In speaking of his campaign he
said:
During the campaign. which has just
closed, 1 have visited nearly every part
of the state, and I feel confident of sue
cess.
IN the course of the campaign. some
criticism has been directed against me, on
account of the formation of the commit
tee on corporations in the constitutional
convention l find that in the reference
that has been made to my action on this
subject as well as to my conduct in other
particulars, 1 have been grossly misrepre-
scented.
For instance, 1t has been charged that
thirteen out of fifteen members of the
committee on corporations in the late con-
stitutional convention, were railroad law
yers. This is untrue, and without any
foundation. At the time of the appoint
ment of this committee. it did not occur
to me to inquire as to the attitude that
the several persons had previously assum-
ed with reference to the railroads of the
state, for the reason that at that time
the question of railroad rate regulation
in this state, had not assumed the phase
in which It now presents itself. The
prime object for which the convention
met, was the regulation of the suffrage
