 This. he said. was a great issue be- fore the people of Alabama. The fight was one between Conner and Conserv- atism and Brooks Lawrence and Con- Eervatism.
 He. gave short history of Corners attitude on the whiskey question. say Ing that Conner used to sell whiskey for c profit in his younger days, and that Conner had changed from local option to statutory prohibition, and then to constitutional prohibition. thus repudiating the platform of the sasf convention of Democracy.
 Senator Thomas went into discus eion of whiskey, stating that the great evil was not in its use. but in its abuse; that the use of whiskey was LaHkut m bnG LoAuiCs aAo Woo hOs Rt VI" hibited in the Ten Commandments: that if 1t was left to Conner and Brooks Lawrence they would change the Ten Commandments. like they are attempt ing to change the Constitution.
