 AT sCOTrsROHO.
Large Crowd Hears the GubeFnntOrial AsDlrant Talk of Railroad hates And other Issues fin High
 jackson.

scottsboro. March s.-(Special.)-- Candidate B. B. Conner spoke In the court house here today. The court room was crowded, many persons nav ing to stand. The candidate was lh- troduced by Judge Bilbro and was ns- tened to with close attention. Juose tIaralson extended the noon recess or the court to accommodate MT. conner but on account of the business or the court he was limited to one hour.
 He thanked the voters of Jackson TOT their support two years ago, ana st,is. saiu.
 ''It is said that back in the old Whlg and Democrat days you were intense Democrats and nothing ever got you from the issue, l am going to tax to you today. Democracy the Democ- racy of our state government. l am go- ing to talk to you regarding the issues of the Democratic Party, am going 70 talk the Democratic platform ana reii you that trust not to talk to you any thing else. It is said of me sometimes that I am a demagogue, but If what say is demagoeueism and what l am trying to do Is demagogueism, then certainly the great leaders of our party in different parts of the State and m Congress are also portraying them selves as demagogues
 Before going further in the speech I want to say to you as candidate TOT Governor, that I favor education. l mean education not only as regards to towns, villages and cities, but it should he carried back into the State, into the rural districts. I have been saying wherever I go, that education should be carried wherever a child is. l have here the address of Hon. l. w. Hill, and he takes to task the position Of Alabama in this great line.
 T understand that today you had a meeting of the old soldiers. l think the old soldier should be cared Tor as far as the economy of the State will admit I don't know any class of people who suffered more for patriotism, and. when you come to see 1t, your fight in those days was the cause we are fight ing for today. They fought for States rights. We are fighting today to see if this State Of ours should control herself. whether you should have your men In the State House; that you should make the law. and that you should carry square, fair deal to ev- cry man and every species Of property. Those of you who have kept up with the conditions know that back in our history has been a power that vised the laws of the State. I am criticized for making this statement but nevertheless we want to sweep the railroad lobby from our State House, and put the peo- pIe In charge of 1t and put them there 1 unrestricted and unbiased. that is what
 we are after

me and tried to discharge my du.y. xfr f1onaer made his usual comparI. uon of me Alabama rates with those af other States. The law, ne sai1; 70, res sIss uIatsd the charge of the grlst mn, aiiu inc taxation of the people, pua " ,,a Ice,y a foreigner, a great trust 70 evnao ' in hero and tax the state stS~sS' aii these combined" s.,,,.a No man. ,he declared could measu. " cuniaity, or what man wants TUT h'' Hasarrinx to his examination or Mr. Green, Traffic Manager Of the Sou'n ern Railway. he said: ,,.,,-. .o.>.r.
 "r asked Mir. Green What expert ress sIo YOU have in making those -atsaS how do you determine when tretght rate is fairT He said, as Ions sa d thing moved the rate IS not too EI~b They say in the millennium the iton ana the lamb will lie down to- @efher. and I have no doubt that you believe that Is the lion of the fores' and the little lamb of the nock. Dul l that is not so. When these gigantic corporations come in contact with tho farmer and the business men and DO fair to them, then you have got the millennium.
 As to the returns of the railroads for taxation, he said: "Take this road here, they swear that the road Is worth seventy-iive hundred dollars a mile when they have got to De taxed and when. they come to the Commis- sion, they eweaf 1t Is worth sixty-oho thousand dollars a mile"
 Tho quickest way to get relief. ne said, is from the Legislature, and ad, vocatsd the election of peoples Legislature. .ts
 lsAs to the railroad lawyer" he said. ''Their very presence In your po,lsles p1,lss is dangerous. You take the haiIroao Commission they gave you, CoIneI, Sanders and TunstalL Wo IA,iso ,1"'' environed men. one is a railroad law ver ana the other a railroad politician [ ann,tI lmpusn either one Of my asso- ctsSss but would one of you lawyers trr, a case like that with jury like that?"
 rbA Legislature. he stated. could fur ntsb inc quickest and best relief and | thai was where he and Dr. Cunning ham differed "Dr. Cunningham is nice man." he said. "and he has got a platform as solid as rock. You oo,,ISn't make a better platform But I'd show you how ridiculous some peo- pIe are. a heap of people say against me that I am destructive, that they can't trust me with this great prop ertv. but Cunningham Is all right. You take pr. Cunningham's platform. and he has put 1t out at great lengtn' and he has gone further than we have ever gone. He says we should have bet ter rate than the Georgia rate, that he has diagnosed the case and knows what he is talking about. and vel thore be men who say am destructive and that he Is a safe. conservative man. Those same men fought me two years ago, to the bitter end. and vel those same mne have lined up with him.
 He hes taken our platform. like trout takes a minnow, and swallowed | everything. He may Do sincere. am not going to question that, but how about the sincerity of the crowd whe are with h!m?

the people will be glad to stay here and never be found taking the train to a distant State. Others are fighting for cheap labor. That is dangerous It always was dangerous. You take cheap labor and yet get poor condi- tions
 Coming to the issue that Is called the issue of the day, or as am quoted fre- auentiy, come back to the old sub ject, and so I do. Suppose a minister should commence preaching himself to you. You have got to preach the Book, the only Book, year in and year old. am talking to you about man s rights, the rights of the people of Ala bama. Tn the last campaign I had on the back of my card that favored lower freight rates, equitable car ser- vice rules, and when the railroad owed you they should pay you promptly as you pay them. Tn other words, if they kill your stock or damage your prop erty or lost if, they should pay you for 1t apd pay you within reasonable timel and not take six months or year or two years, as many of them do.
 We have in Alabama a power that taxes the state $2S,00O,000 year. That is the freight rates of Alabama The people are taxed that. not In competf- ton. There Is no competition. They have formed themselves Into trust, the strongest the world has ever seen There is nothing like 1t anywhere. You say we have a Railroad Commission. and SO we have. Lam President of the Railroad Commission, and when we were making this race before, l told you I would try to get these charges put down, and some of our great friends are asking me why didn't you do It? it's this very thing am talking about. some gentleman told me today that he paid ninety odd dollars on c car of corn from Bridgeport down here, twenty eight miles. 20 cents hundred. The rate from Louisville to Birmingham Is 1T cents; to Montgomery It Is IT cents, and from East St. Louis Co Montgomery is 21 cents; yet from Bridgeport to scottsboro, twsnty-eight miles. it's 20 cents.
 "why Is that? Because there is no eompetition,, no hindfance. It Is true you have a Railroad Commission, and the Commission of Alabama was ere ated for the purpose of protecting the people and coming between you ana these great trusts and fix an equahzeu
 rate, just and fair to both, rake tne 3 l Commission that preceded me e 1nee tection, and I want to say It IS tne l farmer who pays the freight me | farmers and consumers pay the treisht' | It ia commonly thought that the mef- | chant does 1t, but he doesn't IT me
