 Editor The Advertiser;
 As an elector, attended the meeting recently held. for the purpose of de- claring the result of the primary, as an interested spectator. sI heard the re- marks of Mir Fuller and of MT. Mas, tin, and heard the law as pronounced by the Chairman. Mir A. H. Arlington, and agreed with him that the votes were not to be compared with the tally did imagine for a moment that Cap tain Mastin or his lawyer asked any thing of the kind. If I am not misin- formed, Captain Mastif only asked that or compiled by the committee be veri- fled. that is ito prove true" the returns as sent up by the different beat mana gers. It was never asked or desired, as understood 1t. that any comparison of the votes be made with any tally sheet or otherwise, but is was only the committee and announced by them. be verified or proven to be true.' and to do this it would only have required the going over of the returns as the committee was required to do In the first instance to ascertain the result of the election, to be able to declare and make certificate of the nomina- tions. After this was denied Captain Mastin, I expected every moment that the returns from the different beats would be produced and the figures gone over Dy the committed, Tn the presence of each other. and the result ascertain ed and announced; but I never saw any such papers. All that I did see was Il paper In typewriting. that had evident ly been prepared outside the committee meeting, giving the vote received for the different candidates and declaring who had recived>majorities for the re- spective positions. What I wish to know is how was this result obtained? Where were the figures tabulated or counted and canvassed2 Did the Chair man open and count the returns in his private office? If he did so, did he not violate the law, according to his own interpretation? If the returns were opened and canvassed in the office of the Chairman. how many of the com mittee were present, and why the ne- house at all? ask for information and think every voter has the right to

HOW IT WORKS.

This is the way the Chattanooga News regards recent incident:
 District Attorney Jerome is a very adroit individual. His statement before Judge O'SulliVan yesterday will bring all the political power and influence of the Roosevelt administration to bear against d criminal indictment of Per ktns. If Perkins stole money and gave it to the Republican party for campaign purposes, George B. Cortel- you is guilty of receiving stolen mon- ey. Do you see where 1t cuts? Je- rome does not want to prosecute the insurance officials. and they will not be prosecuted It WAS a smooth hand that put the program together and a mighty slick tongue gave it to tho public.
 See how it works If money was filched from insurance trust funds it was paid to Cortelyou and he must have known whence and from whom it came. and how It was used. Cor telyou is now the trusted friend and one of the Presidents advisers; ergo, Cor something like thaD a prosecution of the insurance officials would strike perilously near the throne and might jar loose some of the foundation stones. See how it works? But why is Jerome apparently shielding those in high places?

100000 for Montgomery.
Selma Journal.

Selma JOufHdI.
 The people of the Capital City of Ala bama have determined that they will keep abreast of every forward move ment. They have determined that their city must grow in population and have fixed their minimum at 100000 in 1910" Business concerns and patriotic citi- zens have contributed literally to a campaign fund and a club has been or ganized for the purpose of advertising Montgomery from one end of the coun- try to the other. A few years ago the citizens of Dallas, Tex. organized club for this same purpose and the last report we saw from it's work showed that it had accomplished wonderful re- suits, It has been demonstrated in more than one city that advertisement of d city pays just as advertisement of goods or property. If the Montgomery people can keep the spirit of enthusla sm which now animates them and judi ciously expend their funds in advertis- ing, there is no reason why they should not reach their goal. Montgomery ought to have d population of 1O0,006. and we hope she will by the year 1910.

If the political pot should boil in Alabama as does in Tennessee the people of all parties would be staying awake at night. Senator Carmack and ex-Governor Taylor are stumping the State in a contest for United States Senatorship and great crowds turn out to hear them. Governor Cox and Con gressman Patterson are conducting the bitterest campaign of many years in their efforts to secure Democratic nomination for Governor and 1t is feared the trouble will not end after the nomination is made. To add to the fun the rival factions of the Republican Party are going for each others throats with a vim.

sOUTH's DELEGATE STRENGTH.

SOO THIS OEEEGAEE SIAENGTh.
 Commenting upon the suggestion of Judge Parker that the Southern Dem- ocrats be permitted to name a South ern man for the next Democratic pres idential nomination. The Houston Post says.
 The only chance for the nomination of Southern man as Democratic can- didate Is for him to win all tic South ern delegates and as many more from the Northern States. Suppose that Senator Daniel. for instance, should be proposed for the nomination by Vir- ginia. and that the South should sup- port him soiidiy. He would go into a from the States and firty-four from Territories. with just 24O votes. less than one-fourth the strength of the convention. Missouri, Kentucky, Mary land and West Virginia, four border states. might add seventy-four to this 240, making S14 in all less than a third Of the convention, and two-thirds would pc necessary to nominate under Demo- cratic usage.
 How. then. could the South demand ana insist upon Southern candidate without withdrawing from the fellow ship of the Democrats of the North?
 A Southern candidate to be nominat- ca must win in addition to 240 dele gates from the Old South. 43l dele- gates from the border States and the North. or in addition to 314 votes from the South and the border States 357 from the North. Whenever 357 North ern Democratic delegates want to nom- mate d Southern Depocrat for Presi- dent. they will find the Southern States ready with the man. But the Southern Democracy will not go sc far as to set up shop for itself The South is not sectional and will not become so It is probable that the names of Southern men will be presented to the next nat tonal convention. not because they are Southerners, but because they are wor- thy Americans.
 Senators Bailey and Culberson. iof Texas, have both been spoken as Presidential possibilities. but the above from a leading paper of their State is not very encouraging. Many things, however. can happen.

 The conscience of the American peo- pie has been awakened at last Only those who keep in close touch daily with the press of the country are fully aware of and realize the exposures in high places which are driving the kings of finance and the high priests of corruption to their graves before they can be landed by due process of law behind the prison bars. Others are driven into foreign exile. while others no doubt, are escaping by the tricks of legal technicality It Is to be hoped the storm will rage more fUriously and become more destruc- tive until the last scoundrel is con victed and the last rascal turned out of public office.

Strange but True.

 It is strange, but true, if a man strives and labors but fails to ac- cumulate wealth, he is termed "a poor manager" but if he amasses consid- erable wealth he is accused of every thing but being honest. The consid- eration of conscience only enters when there's an accumulation. And it's strange.

Error of "commissiOn and Omission"

EdltOf AuVeFLlseFs
 I see from the public prints that Governor Johnston has announced his candidacy for Senator. The Governor modestlv admits that he has made some mistakes in public life. For one mistake we nominate his opposition to the Constitutional Convention and his opposition of the ratification of the instrument which the Convention adopted. His position on that lnstru- ment, which has brought untold bless ings to the people of this State. may be possibly excused if the Governor suc- ceeds in proving to the voter that he was actuated In the fight he made by q lofty and patriotic impulse He ac- tually delayed the meeting of the Con- vention two years and did his best to postpone 1t indefinitely. The present voter who wants to go back to the old Constitution ought to furnish the Governor with his entire support As far as the writer knows and believes there Is not a sufficient number of these people to carry half dozen beats in Alabama.

Unionism has almost gone to the limit in Chicago where they have es- abolished cemetery in which none except members of union labor organ izations can be buried. We have no wish to appear irreverent but when Gabriel blows his horn will it make any difference to him whether the dead wear union labels or not? If by any chance some "scab" should be laid to rest in that cemetery will it make any difference at the last day? An other thing: if all the family of a union man should not belong to a union will his wife and children be denied burial by his side? Isn't the whole thing the limit Of assininty?
