GREAT PARADE IN BIRMINGHAM ysung Mems Club March in
 Streets. THREE THOUSAND IN LINE Demonstration in Support of the
 Constitution. Chsirmaa Miller Declares That De- fender. win Get Big Majority in Jefferson Ceunty--Many
 Meetings Are Pisnnea

Birmingham, Nov 27.-(6pecial.)-- With a remarkable demonstration by the Young Mems Anti-Amendment Club of Jefferson County. when 5000 repre- sentative young men paraded through the main streets of the city hearing big placards of quips and puns and torches and with few hundred amenders seated in the Hippodrome to listen to Dr. c. c. violett, Of Georgia, the secular end of the Jefferson coun- ty amendment campaign came to a spectacular close tonight.
 The enthusiasm caused by the young mems demonstration was unbounded. It is said that nothing similar 10 this Of a political nature has dotted the history of Jefferson County.
 The parade of the young defenders was started from Third Avenue and Twenty-fi first Street. after they had lis- tened to magnificent addresses by Hon. Jere c. King and others. During the speaking bee Mir. King. who Is the idol of a great following in this coun- ty for his Greater Birmingham achievement. asked how many of the big audience would be on hand Mon day to assist in work at the polls. With the question hundreds of hands were raised. indicating that with this addition to the regular county organi- &4LloH the tflpeTidt CeiIeI Oi tno uifL- araI wealth of the State Is going to be represented at the ballot boxes Mon day.
 The street parade outstripped all ex- pectatfons and was so stupendous that street cars were stupped for several blocks.
 A striking feature of this demon stration was the increase of the num- bers by additions from the sidewalks. as the members walked along. With out waiting in their aroused spirits the fellows of anti-amendment sympatnies popped into line and swelled the size of the rally.

 Miller is Confiaent.
 Judge John H. Miller. chairman of the county committee of the Defend CTS will not cut his majority under 1.50o, He says that the same prime causes which will sweep the state against the amendment sfwf1l carry Jefferson county the same way.
 Representative Jere King tonight charged that thousands upon. thous- aids of dollars had been poured into this county by the Amenders and that politicians whose existence de- pends upon the amendment. have made heavy. inroads on their in- dividual bank accounts to further their ambition. As an instance of this, Chairman F. M. Jackson. recognized as man of big means, has transferred a big part of his business clerical force to the state headquarters ana has had them employed several days in sending out his saloon or no saloon literature.
 The secular campaign has ended, but Sunday will see the usual after noon rival rallies at the Hippodron1e and the Jefferson by the antf-amend- CTS and the Bijou by the Amenders. The Hippodrome win be the scens of a great meeting, to be addressed by no less than seven speakers. of whom Hon. M. W. Howard. Sydney Bowie. Walker Percy. John Tomiinson and others will be the leaders. At the Jefferson the speakers will be Emmett O'Neal, Jesse Stallings. P. c. Bowman. J. c. Manning. w. B. Bankhead. Robert N. Bell, John Rogers and Tom Long.
 It is the purpose of the Defenders of the constitution to make this final demonstration so impressive as to overshadow every effort of the op- position, who 1t Is understood will pick Capitol Park as the scene of a special religious meeting tomorrow afternoon.
 The day passed without violence in the matter of registration though the attitude of the registrars. all of whom are for the amendment. was distinctly adverse to the claims of the Defend- CTS The board arbitrarily shut up it's books at 10 o'clock tonight. leav- ing no less than forty men in line. waiting to get their only opportunity of voting on the amendment.
 Secretary o. P. Gaut of the Defend er's county committee said tonight that it was with the greatest diff culty that the registrars were per suaded to hold open the books until 10 o'clock. as the amendment commit tee insisted on their being closed at 8 o'clock, with 100 men in line.
 It is said that no more than 500 men were registered. when treble the number would have registered had they been offered the chance.

 Every one at State headquarters tonight is wreathed in smiles because the actual poll of the expected vote for and against the amendment shows total majority for the Defenders larger than the claim of i5,000 put out bv Rev. Brooks Lawrence, Waiter Sessions and Fred Jackson Of the amendcrs.
 This confidence of the Defenders Is increased by turning back thirty days when 1t will be recalled that the pre- dicted majority for the amendment was s0.000 and 25.000.

 The navy is marking time waiting for the State Department to ask It to act.

Recent developments make it certain
that New Mexico will not be granted her
long desired statehood until seaching in
vestigation has been made of the corrup-
ton charges, which are far-feaching and
affect the Territorial Government, the
Legislature, the Courts the jury system,
the land offices and agents, and, in fact,
every phase OF life in New Mexico. APP
parently nothing has escaped the in-
fiction, according to,the mass of afida-
wits.
"Bull'' Andrews, the old Quay lieuten-
ant, has organized the gang" in New
Mexico, which is responsible for this
state of affairs, and the employment of
Quay methods, it is charged, has placed
him in absolute control of political af-

In discussing the road question and
cost of bnildiug improved highways
Governor Crothers says:
my plan is that the commission
should build upon the routes selected
a mile of road of stone and another mile
somewhere else of gravel and another
mile somewhere else of some other road
material, and that we should not give the
job of building these miles of road out by
contract. but should do it ourselves under
the supervision of the commission and by
our own engineering department. In
this way, and in this way only, believe,
we can get the knowledge which as lay
men aud not engineers we ought to have
as to the actual cost of construction.
what we want to know is what each
mile of road of each material is going to
cost. We want to know what is the &C.
tual cost and why it costs that much. We
want to know whether it is the material
or the hauling or the transportation or
something else that isthe most expensive.
If we build mile of road ourselves out
of each material we are to use then we
can know exactly what mile of road
actually costs, and when we come to let
out the contracts we will be in position
10 consider bids intelligently and in way
to build the roads as economically as pos
sible. I am strongly in favor of this
plan of building experimental roads our
selves so as to get the knowledge which
we need. I will propose this plan to the
commission"
