 Alabamians Speak.

Chattanooga, April 10.-Unusual features were developed at the banquet tonight in honoring William Jennings Bryan, when John Temple Graves of Atlanta made a speech in which he declared that Mir. Bryan should name Theodore Roosevelt for the presidency. MT. Graves said in part:
 'rhe times may change and men may change as well before the campaign of 1908 begins. But if the conditions then are as they are today--if Roosevelt rides tho storm that is brewing in the realm of corporate capital then our way seems open and our duty clear.
 Speaking here deliberately for myself, and in my fair judgment of the great ma jority of the plain and honest democrats of the Empire southern state, from which l came, I believe that we should put the party then below the people, the prinei- pie above the man. We should rebuke the spirits of spells and the hunger of faction. We should affirm our princi- pies, confess our faith, recite the neces- sity of the reform of corporate capital as the supreme and transcendent issue of the times, pay tribute to the great and typical American who has proved himself the dauntless and conquering cap tain of the peoples causs and then and there in that great convention of out own own. William ]: Rryai,4l tt2e one unmatehe,l and ineomparable evangel of our faitf, speaking for a pure democracy, and speaking for the whole plain people of this republic, should put in nomination Theodore Roosevelt for one more undis- puted term of power to finish the work that he has so gloriously begun.
