 Section ? counteracts the effect of section of the bill of rights-that which guarantees a man reasonable safety in his home and the exercise of liberty. For section ? says: Nothing In the constitution shall be construed to prevent the legislature from designat- ing places wherein such liquors may not be stored or kept"
 The danger which the adoption of the amendment brings into being was forci- bly, touched upon He told of probable outrages and indignities. He told of bloodshed
 And he concluded by drawing a stirring picture of the uprising of the people in support of Wat Tyler, who had slain an officer attempting to search his home and the person of his daughter.
 Moody on Constitution.
 "A constitution" stated Senator Moody, should be as President Taft told the people of Arizona: Adopt constitution consisting of few prin- ciples. cardinal principles. on which the people, as a whole are agreed
 "The constitution Is not the garret, nor the parlor nor the living room of a house It is the foundation. It should not be added to- nor subtracted from save in eases of dire distress.
 This amendment Is temperance run mad I oppose the measure-we all do who stand for true temperance-be- cause it is an extreme measure.
 That they call us evil should not distress brave men. The station in life which one occupies depends on how pure his thoughts and his mo- lives.
 But be not bulldozed"
 Continuing in this strain, Senator Moody delivered practically the same ma gnificent speech which thrilled the hundreds of patriots who attended the convention of September Is in Mont gomery-that speech of which Tn booklet form, 125,000 copies have been made and sent into every nook and corner of Alabama.
 Whisky or No Whisky"
 They say the issues Is whisky of no whisky" the senator rejoined. There is no liquor in Alabama. There was local option. There followed the Car michael or statewide prohibition bill, there followed the Fuller bill. the most drastic ever published, there followed the 'where-did- -you-get-y your booze from bill, there followed the soft drink stand bill,' and there were oth CTS I cannot recall. So there is no liquor.
 Therefore I cannot understand how men of intelligence and of honest pur- pose can claim that the issue rs whisky or no whisky in Alabama.
 q have stood for temperance for near ly 30 years. I have been beaten because I stood for dispensary and for prohibi- tion. And they call me traitor because I cannot go this length with them "We have gone to such extremes fin the matter of law that we have become incorporate.
 A Political Question. '"The amendment is a political, not solely a moral or religious question. say solely because all grea. questions are moral questions. The question of declaring war against Spain was a moral question.
 q deny that the good people are against us. It Is but necessary in the refutation of this statement to enumerats some of the names of the distinguished Alabamians who are opposing the amend ment. The preachers are not, as a whole against us. There Is strong under current of ministers against the amend ment. They are not making statements to this effect For some of them differ from the good ministers of the other side in the proprfety of discussing and enter ing feelingly into political questions.
 The "Good' Governor. "I am not complaining concerning the Carmichael and the Fuller and all the other bills. I am simply protesting that I have enough. It might be well to try the Fuller and Carmichael and all other bills for a period of ten years or longer. But we have gone far enough. We might have gone too far" Here Senator Moody grew slightly hu- morous as concerns the position taken { by the governor in promising pardons to the violators of the law prohibiting the manufacture of wines. He said: "It is strange that we are asked to put a law into the constitution of this state the violation of which the gov ernor has agreed to pardon
 But in 30 years from now we might not have as good a governor Our gov ernor 30 years from now, in his desire to wipe whisky entirely out of the land and from every place in the land might be an extremist.
 And when the governor says that everyone might make as much scupper- norg wine as he desires, that everyone might dring as much as ne desires. thar everyone might invite everyone to drink with them as much as they desire. where T say where-is the temperament"
