B. B. Conner ISSUES AN
ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE

B. B. Conner, democratic nominee for
governor of Alabama, issued the fol-.
lowing address yesterday:
TO the People of the State OF Alabama:
Again 1 thank you for your hearty
co operation and endorsement of me
in the continuous and extended en-
deavor to secure for the people the for
ever democratic principle of the states
government, founded on the peoples
rights and the preservation of that
government, its policies and politics to
the people and to their interests.
Il will call your attention that this
is the third great victory won by you
in your efforts TO break the railroad
and corporation domination of the
state;Q four years ago a legislature
pledged to make the railroad commits
sion elective and to give it adequate
power; two years ago In my election
as president of the railroad commits
sion ON the issue-lower freight rates,
equitable car service rules and prompt
payment of claims-and now COVER
nor safe administration and the
legislature on the distinct platform of
the Georgia classification and the
Georgia rate the lifting of the railroad
boycott and suppression of tile use Of
those greatest assets of the state
the port of Mobile and our navigable
waterways; the states control of the
express telegraph and telephone
companies and the making of adequate
laws to govern same and limit their
charges; the absolute suppression by
law of the practice of using corporate
money and all forms of corporate kind
neses, no matter under what name, to
interfere with or influence our cleo
torate and our legislation.
Carriers Charges.
1t has been repeatedly shown in our
transactions with these carriers that
there is no competition or law to limit
or interfere with their charges and
rules, and every production and con-
sumption of our people is subject to q
private interest made rate; to the car
rers cupidity, and that cupdity lin
tied only to what the traffic will stand,
and a final adjudication of even this,
subject only to the desire and Judgment
of an absentee lanlord. This is a con-
dition of affairs that the Anglo Saxon
has in no age tolerated In the settle
ment of this great question 1t must be
remembered that the constitution, both
state and federal. guarantee protection
to the carriers. and the talk of hurting
the railroad Is idle. No one knows bet
ter than the railroads themselves that
the constitution absolutely provides for
them safety against unreasonable regu-
lation. our own statutes and our own
administration should under every cir
cumstance secure protection to the
shipper, otherwise it will be as the
mother abandoning her off spring to a
cupidty, which has never been meas
ured
The foundation for general prosperity Is
the farmer, manufacturer, laborer and
consumer. At all hazards protect them,

hurt, came near being crushed to death
at the Eighteenth street crossing about
IL o'clock last night. The train for Mem
pills was backing to the shed through
the gate when the flagman, intently
watching the switch point in the track,
leaned forward and slipped on the plank
floor which was wet. His head fell againA
the rail near the moving wheels and he
literally made a hairs breadth escape
from death. So certain was the gateman
of fatal consequences that he looked away
to keep from seeing the mans head
crushed. The fiagman's lantern, which he
carried in his hand, was shattered by
the wheel of the train.

John Smith. a negro, was arrested last
night by Policeman st. Clair and locked
up in the city jail on two charges of
grand larceny. Smith 1t seems first got
light fingered at the store of w. S.
Brown & Co., where he took two pairs
of trousers. The officer was notified of
the theft and furnished with a description
of the negro. who was seen running down
the street with the garments. When
Smith was located he was standing In

liceman took him in tow a suspicious

of his belt, which upon examination,
proved to be Stetson hat. stuffed inside

/ and you lay an indestructible foundation
| for prosperity to every other class.
T l would call your attention to the. fact
| that Alabama has been too liberal In
| her laws and conduct TO the tranchised
| public carriers, SO much so that out of
this liberality has grown burdensome, in
| equitable and extortionate conditions for
| the people. We should follow the leader
ship of such states as Texas Illinois,
| Iowa, Wisconsin, Virginia, North Caro-
| lima and Georgia in most adequately pro-
tecting the interests of the manufac-
turer, producer laborer and consumer,
for out of this protection, as stated will
grow the welfare of every other inter-
est.
These are the fundamental principles of
a sound political economy and have been
| found by every experience and in every
| age to furnish the only safe erection of
prosperity to every species of business
and to every species of interest.
The old soldier should be cared for;
we should be as liberal to him as our
| finances will admit. Our educational fa-
| cilities should be greatly increased, par
ticularly the common schools in the rural
districts. Alabama stands very low in the
sisterhood of states in the education of
her citizens. Every one should join in
saying that there must be distinct i'm
proYement.
Regarding Cheap Labor.
immigration facilities should be encour-
| aged but l will reiterate the sentiments
of my speech-the bringing in of low
class of cheap labor should not be thought
of. Statistics show that 20 per cent of
our population approximately 100000 have
emigrated. If our internal condition
| should be greatly improved by making
| the transportation facilities cheaper and
| better, by allowing the ever increasing
| demand for labor of every species to in
crease their pay by keeping our own peo-
pie at home and giving them facilities for
enlightenment and prosperity, the unhin-
| would go a long way toward solving the
! problem.
As said by me in every speech dur
ing the campaign 1 advocate the enact
ment of an adequate local option law
Fraterna Hand.
To my opponents, without exception or
cavil. | extend the right hand of friend
ship; the brotherhood of fellow citizens
! and fellow democrats and the request
! that as true men, as patriotic citizens and
as true democrats they will do that which
! every one of my friends and | would have
! done for them-with aid and cooperation
| help carry out the will of the people as
expressed in this the greatest primary
| ever held In the state.
| Again thanking those of the press and
| those of our fellow citizens who have so
| mnselnshly, manfully and periodically
made this fight and extending the hand
of kindness to ALL enmity to none, 1
cordially invite the cooperation and help
| of every patriotic citizen of Alabama to
| aid the people to reap the fruits of the
| victory they have won.

Crude Thoughts From The Editorial Pen
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1906-02-02

A Kansas man says that the
custom of throwing shoe after the
bride originated from the ancient
custom of pIucking off a shoe and
giving it as a proof of the transfer
of any piece of property, or throw
ing it on a piece of land, as a SYM
boil of new ownership. The eighth
verse of the Goth Psalm, for in
stance, refers to this custom. So
the practice of throwing an old
shoe after the bride came into gem
eral use in the old days as a sign
that her parents had resigned their
authority over her. A later Anglo
Saxon custom was for the brides
father to hand her shoe to the
bridegroom, who touched her head
with it to show that she now be-
longed to him.

w. G. L, U. Notes

w. G. I. u. Notes
The attitude of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, Ma
ton al, State, District and Local
to the prohibition of the liquor
traffic.
Whereas, the liquor traffic is the
dee pest, direst, most widespread
and most persistent course in any
nation. A menace alike to the in
dividual, the home, the church,
society and a foe to national pros
perity. The Womans Christian
Temperance Union stands unal-
terably committed to a belief in
the ri righteousness of the principal
of prohibition and will pray and
work for the absolute suppression
by law of the manufacture and
sale of alcoholic liquors, and
stands unalterably opposed to
every form of licensing the liquor
traffic, including the Gotherburg,
state control or dispensary system.
Believing as we do that prohibi-
ton is the greatest living issue of
the day, we express our apprecia-
ton of those voters who by their
ballots prove their loyalty to pro-
hibitory law and it's enforcement.
Inasmuch as the internal revenue
system has developed and foster
ed the liquor traffic beyond the
thought of it's early promoters, that
we declare that this alliance be-
tween the Government and the
liquor traffic should be broken and
the internal revenue bulwork Of
this iniquitous system demolished
at once and forever.
