The finay wseks of the most memora- hle AlabamA campatgn since 1874 be- gins with the defenders of the new con l. otitution claiming . majority of 1S, ! 900 and not couteding single county to the amsndmsnt, although admitting the possibility of half . dozen going that way, h spite of a landslide.
 Amendment leaderi are claiming that the amendment will get majority of ties will go against the amendment. Many of the rank ana dle cf the amend ers are frankly admitting defeat. but hoping that 1t will not be as oyer whclmings as the defenders clam. Whatever betting Is done ts being done at odds of two to one that the amend 1pent is beaten.
 Half . dozen prominent speakers In the campaign were In Montgomery last night and the defender speaksrs were juhilant. They included Former Congressman Jesse F. stsllings. Honl Tom h.~Long, Hon. D. H. Riddle and Hon. & c. Jenkins against the amend snent and Judge g. D. Weakley for the amendment.
 Mr. staIlines wso has spoke in every section ef the state doubts that the Amendment will carry six counties
 Depends. on "Wcoi Hats."
 .If there is one class of votes know something about 1t Is the vote of the wool hat boys, said Mir. Stailings last night -And 1 say 1t deliberately that 7s per cent of that vots is going to be cast against the amendment. When you begin to hear from the OK wagon trails and the star routes it will be all up with the amendment. The amend- CTS are strongest in the small towns and I do not fnd much strength for them anywhere else.
 arhe meeting whtch addressed at Ozark Saturday was the most remarka- bie, the most notable meeting l ever addressed. have spoken in every court house in Alabama. . record which do not believe is eQualled by any man living or dead. Few men have been as long in politics in Alabama as have and few men have delivered as many political speeches. And 1 want to say that the demonstration at QzRrk was the most moving, the most enthu- siastic ever saw anywhere on any occasion. The court room at Ozark Is IsrKe. but t wss not large enough to Hccommodats the crowd. when the hard played Home Sweet Home men in the audience weptsth the speakeFs wc1s xigeh 1entlsfusd ovftipng: men stood on their seats cheering and waving their bats in the air. It;was only additional proof that the white men of Alabama are stirred on this question as they have never been stirred before"
