BOWIE SPEAKS To
JONESBORO CROWD
Amendment Designed to Put
Men Into Office
UTTERANCES ARE CHEERED
Defies Amenders to Show Single State
Where Constitutional Prohibition
Has Stopped Agitation-Per-
sonal and General News.
UTTERANCES ARE CHEERED

Bessemer, November 25.-(Special)-
THE question of amendment Is a mere
phantom to keep a discredited admins
ltration in power" declared S. J. Bowie
tonight before large audience at the
school auditorium in Jonesboro. "A
mere scheme to put Weaklev in the
governors chair. Conner in the Senate
and Brooks Lawrence In continued con-
troll of the state"
Mr.. Bowie received an ovation at
Jonesboro tonight. the crowd rising to
cheer him as he entered and was in
troduced by Pinkney Scott.
Mr.. Bowie began his address by
stating that in his opinion the measure
which was before the people at present
was the most important that had come
up in 80 years. Speaking OF amending
the constitution he asked why was the
constitution to be amended. Likening
the constitution to the foundation of a
house. he said it Is to be amended only
when it can be bettered and the amend
ment does not better il.
"One reason which the amerrdists
are making great parade of Is that the
passage of this amendment will settle
the liquor question forever" he said.
This is not true. and I challenge them
TO snow me single state where state
wide prohibition has been a success. In
Iowa 1t was put In the constitution and
in d few years the law was practically
repealed. In South Dakota 1t was a
failure. Six years after prohibition was
put into the constitution it was repealed
and the dispensary tried, and in two
more years the dispensary was voted
out. In Ohio 1t was put into the con-
stitution in 1851 and Ohio today is the
seat of the whisky trust of the United
States. So you see the mere putting OF
the question into the constitution does
not settle It,
Another argument that the opposi-
ton are using Is that it is a question
of saloon or no saloon Where is the
saloon? There Is not single one in the
state of Alabama. This argument is
mere phantom OF their own brain and
they are as Don Quixote fitting against
windmills." Here Mr.. Bowie drew an
amusing parallel of the tilt of the good
knight against the windmill and the
conditions as they are at present. show
Ing that the women and the preachers
were brought in then as they are now.
Mr.. Bowie then took up the second
section of the amendment and showed
its uselessness and the danger to the
homes of Alabama of adopting 1t.
Mr.. Bowie kept his audience in a roar
of laughter at his witty stories at the
expense of the amendists.
Pinkney Scott made q short talk be-
fore the arrival of Mr.. Bowie and
pleased the crowd by his remarks upon
the amendment. The audience tonight
was decidedly encouraging and 1t is be-
lieved that Joneshoro Will go against
the amendment
