Raw Rushton at EufauIa.

Eufaula, November 6-(Special.) -Con-
trary to expectations, Hon. Emmett
O'Neal was unable to reach the city last
night, owing to illness, and Ray Rushton
of Montgomery filled his engagement at
the Chautauqua theatre, delivering most
able and eloquent address against the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution. The
auditorium was well filled, and the audi
ence has been variously estimated from
600 to TOO, quite a number of whom were
ladies'.
Mr.. Rushton said that he did not come
to abuse anyone or discuss prohibition
and he stuck to his text. He said that he
believed drinking was wrong, but did not
believe in total abstinence. He admitted
being doubtful in the beginning as to the
expediency of establishing a statewide
prohibition BILL but had no objection to
1t now. He urged that the prohibition law
was different from any other, in that 1t
dealt with the individual while the others
all had reference to personal injury to
some one else. A man, said he, to whom
liquor was sold had no occasion to feel
aggrieved, but more often felt accommo-
dated. Mr.. Rushton then read both Sec
tons Of the amendment and discussed
each at length. He said the governor
wanted to build fence around prohibit
ton, but he could not get rails enough
and even II he did the rails would not be
close enough to prevent whisky going
through. He pointed Ohio out as not put
ting an effective law in its constitution
and said more whisky was manufactured
in one city of Ohio in a month than was
in the entire state of Alabama in a year,
and claimed that the Alabama law was
not legislation or effective legislation. He
referred to Maine as giving more trouble
to temperance than any state in the union,
and that agitation had never been stopped

vertised for a week and there were be-
tween 30 and 100 voters present to hear
the address, among whom were posi-
bly, 10 persons who declared themselves
in favor of the amendment.
The speaker devoted the greater por-
ton of his time to a discussion of the
evils of liquor. The address was char
acterized by no new argument on tn e
amendment question.
The Rev. Mr. Branscomb did not
not wait to hear the reply of d. -.

the conclusion of his speech.
Mr.. Riddle made a convincing talk
against the amendment at Union.
Today Mr.. Riddle addressed rep

blows he handled the argument of tn o
amenders and from all appearances his
hearers were in full sympathy with him

grave fears as to the outcome of the
election in this section. Greene county

Florence. November 6.-(Special "A
most enthusiastic crowd, which taxed the
capacity of the courthouse, greeted Sid
ney j. Bowie in his address in opposition
to the constitutional amendment today A
notable feature of the meeting was the
fact that there was an absence of women
and children, and a vast majority of
those present we're voters and taxpayers.
Four speakers were billed, but on ac-
count Of urgent demands for their services
from other sections of the state Messrs
Knox, Weatherly and Smith were unable
to be present.
Mr.. Bowie, however, demonstrated by
his mastery address that he did not need
the assistance of any one, and it was fully
shown by the enthusiasm with which he
was greeted by the 800 or more voters
that he was fully competent to compete
with issues involved in this question, and
the people showed that they considered
their homes sacred, for he brought down
the house whenever he referred to that
subject.

the following preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Advocates of the proposed
constitutional amendment seem disposed
to add insult to their unfair methods IN
the Coz duct of their campaign by plac-
ing the defenders of the constitution in
the same category as drunkards, gam
blers and all other vile persons at the
same time they claim that all the good
women are on their side, and
"Whereas, In the face OF repeated dec
larations to the contrary they continue
to charge that those opposed to the
amendment are in favor of the sa-
looms and the whisky interest; be it
Resolved That we. the members of
Camp Clayton, deprecate the DISPOSE
ton to insult those who differ with them
and suggest that they show q oisp 81
ton to be fair and sincere with them
selves instead of doubling our SINGER
ity
''Resolved, That we reaffirm our de-
votion to temperance and good oreer n
society, the charges of the amenders to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
Resolved, That we see in this move
ment a scheme of certain politicians to
intrench themselves in power by playing
on the prejudices OF good people and to
make 1t appear that the arer1rent e
necessary to keep out saloons when they
are already out by law ara will remain
so by the will of the people.
Resolved That we view with alarm
the disposition to deprive the people of
their free moral agency and personal
rights In matters of conscience, and look
upon this amendment as an entry wedge
which carried to a logical conclusion will
ultimately deprive the people of their
liberties, which to every true Alabamian
is the sweetest heritage handed down
to us by noble ar6estr--

to know how the constitutional amend
ment would ever stop agitation in Ala
bama.
Upon the conclusion of Mr. Rushton's
address, Col. E. P. Thomas was called
upon and made a brief but thrilling talk,
in which he claimed that the question was
not one of morals. Colonel Thomas re-
ferred to the Ten Commandments and
Chrtsts sermon on the mount, wherein
1t was said, blessed are the peacemakers
but not the agitators; blessed are they
that mourn but not the constitutional
amenders. He said he thought the legis-
lators went into extremes when he sug
gested to that body the matter of provid-
ing breath filters, and discussed the diff
ference between temperance and prohi-
bition.
your morals, religion and temperance
are not affected in this ISSUE" said
Colonel Thomas. "They come from within
and not without. He did not believe in
enlarging the power of the legislature by
passing the amendment, and was unwill-
ing to trust the sanctity of the home to
