winds up this debate following me. to
answer the question.
IF the pending amendment IL po-
lice regulation. I submit that IL might
be put into the constitution without
violating Section 80 of the Bill Of
Rights. II II is not, and the Senators
say that II Is not. then I submit that
II is q violation of Section IS Of the
Bill OF Rights.
"The constitution 10 made of funda-
mental principles, not legislation. 1
submit that the opposition can as well
enact a separate stock Jaw or school
district into the constitution as the
amendment under consideration.
Much has been said as to letters and
kilograms from home. What does the
constitution mean when II says that
an amendment to the people shall be
submitted when three-hfths Of the
House and thrce-ffths of the Senate
shall decide so to DO? Ar the Senator
from Tuscaloosa has well said: Shall
we be made mere photographing ma
chines?
Respect of His County.
II believe that the people OF my
county will have more respect for me
IL they know that decided this ques-
ton for myself. have received two
letters and two kilograms since / have
been here. on this question. That's all
the pressure that has been brought to
bear upon me by my people at home.
Perhaps they credit my Intelligence to
pass on this subject for myself.
What do the planks In the party
platform mean? Some days ago the
Senators were careful to stand on the
national platform on the vote for the
election OF Senators by direct vote of
the people.
B 1.-The ministers had a right to come
here and discuss this question. They
had a right to come here and talk with
us on the streets of the city, or even
in the Hobbies OF the Capitol and Sem
ate chamber II they saw At. The brew
srs had a right to send their literature
to you Senators. You speak of a fund
but you offer no proof OF any nature.
All object to about the ministers Is
that when you disagree with them they
put you on the side of immortality.
81 believe with the Senator from
Tuscaloosa that we can do more for
temperance by going slow. When one
county Is overwhelmingly In favor of
prohibition. the law will be enforced.
but when a county Is against II. 1t will
not be enforced.
THE women are on the right side as
they see II, but ask your wife when
you go homo what Is a constitution.
She won't know whether 1t is an ami
NAL or a law. Think you a child OF I
or s therefore. or a Sunday School class
of children can tell me what to dor"

statement that nothing but a death
