KING SAYS WHOLE THING
 WAS DONE FOR POLITICS


 Jere King, the last speaker, declared the amendment was matched for political purposes solely. "T'his amendment" he stated. was matched for the express pur- pose of sending one man to the Senate and making another governor. It was matched in the governors office. and Brooks Lawrence was given the bull whip with which to whip the legislature into line. But twenty mine stood firm in the lower house and ten in the senate.'
 Mir King then referred to the fact that Alabama Is now the laughing stock of the nation, and that residents of this state when registering in cities of other states, are subjected to the taunts of hotel clerks. He gave it as his opinion that the amendment was badly beaten, and that its proteges had realized that fact.
 "There are three candidates for gov ernor making campaigns today and all are in favor of the amendment. How ever,'' he stated, mot one has made a speech in ten days, and I daresay that the references to the amendment In these speeches will be few and far between.
 And another thing. You couldn't get one of the candidates for sheriff in Jeff ferson county to come ous on the amend ment platform. Not congressman In Alabama would indorse it. MT. King was warmly applauded as he took his seat. Representative John Y. Glover was called upon. but just before the speech of MT. King, he retired from the hall.
 During the meeting the following tele- gram was received by Chairman Smith: Atlanta Ga, September 13. Hearty congratulations on your noble ! fight AS a citizen and property holder of Birmingham I hope that pure democ- | racy will defeat all professional politicians and hypocrits. Hurrah for The Age- | Herald! c. kARElS, Manager Kareis Novelty House | R. W. Cobb, an ex-governor of the | state, who has reached his 81st year, and | who, some time ago, favored prohibition | in the local option election was unable to attend the meeting last night. but he sent the following card to Chairman 1 Smith,
 "Your card received and I return you my thanks for your kind invitation. I am in full sympathy with the movement and am intensely opposed to the adoption Of | the constitutional amendment, but my health is such that l cannot be out at night, or I would certainly attend your call"

WEATHERLY HAS THE
 AUDIENCE IN FINE HUMOF

James Weatherly followed and his mimicry and humor kept the audience in a roar for half an hour. He stated that he favored prohibition but that he op- posed the amendment. 'as dangerous precedent and a useless experiment"
 Since man has made history de- clared he, The has sought for some mys- terious spot in his in'ards' the fermented juice of the grape, and out of 1t, he has had great satisfaction.
 And until man has no history he will continue to seek. So when they tell us that to put the amendment in the con- stitution will stop the agitation-why, even Sam Weakley or Conner. with all their omnipotence, couldn't do that!'
 MT. weakley stated the prohibitionists were like the men of England Of whom Edmund Burke said they would never do a thing right until they had tried every thing wrong He then read excerpts from an article in a political publication writ ten by the secretary of the National Prohibition league. in which 1t was ad- mitted that every remedy to date had en- countered fsilure, and that putting prom bftion in the constitution was as great a mist. lre as any other move. The solu- ton. according to this scholar, was for thu. prohibitionists to form national party ard elect every officer from the president to the police who trode lone- ly beat.
 Another writer on prohibition" said Mi Weatherly, urges us to elect the d,unkard If he votes properly, and de- feat the saint if he votes against prohi' bi,ion."

GOVERNOR JELkS GIVES HIS
 REASONS FOR OPPOSITION

After MT. Bowman was seated Governor Jelks was called to the front He stated that 1t was with reluctance that he had been drawn from his retirement, but ex- plained by stating that the cause, in his opinion, was great enough. T have not been In politics In many years" stated he. Although I was governor for sev- eral years I was not politician, and did not seek to build up machine to leave behind me-
 Governor Jelks indulged In much sar- casm and satire.
 ''The amendment can be of no service to the cause of temperance" he said, land many are tempted to ride on the temperance band wagon on account of the loaves and fishes that are found within.
 And aren't they fin hurry? Of course I could not say for the world that polit-

BOWIE INTRODUCED
 READS RESOLUTIONS

bOWlE IN hOOOCED
 READS RESOLUTIONS
 At this juncture A. Latady was chosen secretary of the meeting. S. J. Bowie, called to the front, offered the resolu- tions which are published In another coi- umn. After reading the paper, he spoke at length He opened with:
 'All wisdom was not born with this legislature, nor will it depart with it's demise."
 The house was convulsed with laugh ter, and the cheering of the people made further speech for the moment impos- sible.
 MT. Bowie attacked the Fuller bill. q was informed" stated he that this Full CT bill was the most drastic ever put upon paper. I read 1t and found that while 1t was not the most drastic, 1t was the longest. I also found that 1t was exceedingly novel, especially in certain particulars. I found that 1t denied the right of trial by jury, that 1t gave the right of invasion of private property, that 1t suspended the writ of injunction in criminal cases, that 1t demanded the pre- sumption of guilt, not innocence!
 Tt is the cast-off garment of New England, and the relic of barbarism. Certain of the provisions of the Fuller bill were in the constitution of Yer mont and New Hampshire. The peo- pie bore their suffering for years and years. But finally the questions werS submitted to the people. and they were torn from the books by vote that was almost unanimous. The presumption of guilt obtains in darkest Russia, and the mines of Siberia are alive with the groans of 1t.
 If the amendment is adopted, l say to you that the youngest of you will not see 1t repealed. It will require two-1fths vote, and inasmuch as those absent from all causes are automatical- ly counted against the change, 1t prac- tically results in a two-thirds vote be- ing necessary. In this way, an auto cratic minority ties the hands of gigantic majority.
 The cardinal principle of democracy is that the majority shall always rule.
 The amendment Is proposed to ad- vance the political ambition of those who are very ambitious more than to advance the cause of temperance.'
 MT. Bowie, after criticizing the ad- ministration for forcing the election on the people this fall whereas 1t might have been held next fall at a saving to the state of s5o.000, and for re- fusing to give the people 15 months in which to ponder on the subject, con- cluded by urging those present to stand up for the constitution as 1t is today, reciting the poem-"Woodman, Spare

ical motives influenced men to get in this holy crusade. But if 1t is politics. let them make the most of it. I do not think they will declare big divi- derds."
 Governor Jelks derided the claim of the prohibitionists that they are the spe- cial guardians of the women and chill dren and that all who oppose them are enemies of the church and of God. and arc tied hand and foot by the liquor interests.
 We have just as good women to pro- teet," he stated, "as they and just as good children. And we are going to continue this fight against the amend ment, not because we are liquor people, bl,t because we have good reasons-rea- sons which will be told the voters of the state from every stump in this common wealth"

BOWMAN FOLLOWS BOWIE
 IN VIGOROUS TALK

P G. Bowman followed MT Bowie. He declared the administration had two objects in forcing the amendment cleo ton on the people next November In spite of its expense. "The admfnistra- tion," he said, feared to give the peo- pie a chance to think for 15 months. And in addition, the administration knew that by February, 10000 poll taxes would have been paid.
 They know they are beaten. They begin to realize that they will not carry five counties in the state.
 Why some time ago the papers an nounced that the prohibitionists wou-< meet in Birmingham next Thursday the prohibition cohorts. But when 1t was seen that the Montgomery con- ference would be attended by thous- ands from all over the state, the pro- hibitionists drew in their horns. Now Col. Brooks Lawrence says that there will be only a committee present, the trustees of the movement, 13 preachers and IA laymen.
 "Hurrah for Jelks. He left the treas ury filled to the brim with s2.600,000. Now there Is a den-it of s750,000 There were two extra sessions at s12o,000. Then two lawyers year ago were paid s10ooo0 for drafting a bunch of laws. This year they were paid equal y
 Now Conner says that he can raise more money. Of course he can raise it. But when he does it is by issuing a mortgage on your home and my home. On top of all this expense here comes the election in November. cost ing sS0G00. This election next fall would have cost nothing.
 But they are beaten. They won't carry five counties. Why, Conner has stopped fighting for tue amendment and begun 'cussing' Tom Jones. But Tom certainly handed him a hot one this morning If ever a man got a lambasting Conner got one."
 MT. Bowman stated that he voted for prohibition when that question was be- fore the people some time ago. He ex- plained, however, that he favored local option, which gave the people the right to act for themselves. He concluded his remarks by referring to gathering g in Capitol park within the next two weeks, in which between 20,00 and 35,- 900 voters from all over the state will fa1r arf

 Before concluding MT. Smith again read section of the proposed amendment, and commented at length and In most serious mood concerning what he interpreted that section to mean-violation of the sacred ness of the home.
 There are many evils which we stand which we bear while grinning, but this We could not tolerate. If this amend ment passes 1t will be the first time since King John that such power has been given
