Aftermath of Debate.

The aftermath of the O'Neal- w oakley
debate here yesterday is exceedingly tn
teresting. Conversions are few, and it
may be truthfully stated about an Off
set
1t seems evident now that lines have
been drawn on the question In Walker
and permanently fixed. The situation is
thus sized UP by one who knows con-
ditions. The republicans are almost solid
ly against the amendment, because they
feel that it emanates from the present
administration. Men past As years of
age, fixed in their habits and opinions.
are, as rule, on the anti-amendment
side.
Pope Long, the recognized leader of the
republicans in Walker is vice president OF
the Anti-Amendment County club John
w. Powell, also leading republican AMI
president of the Farmers Cooperative
association, is actively opposing the
amendment. Mr.. Powell is a prohibition
list ard led the fight. two years ago TO
put the liquor traffic out of this county
Under the leadership of their ministers
the Primitive Baptists seem almost solid
ly united against the amendment and they
are strong in Walker.
On the other hand there is good organ
ization here for the amendment and
many young men have taken hold under
the inspiration of the sentimental feature
of the proposition. The trouble with
many of them is that they are liable TO
polltax, which they are not permitted
to pay now as a qualification for electors.
This is, of course, an injustice put upon
them by the untimely submission of the
question by the administration.
Should the election come off in the next
two weeks there seems to be no reason
able doubt that Walker would cast an
overwhelming vote against the amend
ment. But what changes will occur no
one can tell. The work of the 'Defend-
ers' is plainly to hold their own.
Mr. ONeal and Judge Weakley were
both greeted cordially in Jasper The
presence Of ladies In the audience was
especially pleasing to both. Not all the
smiles and the hand-shakes of the fair
sex here were given Judge Weakley, but
as many to Emmett O'Neal, who is not
stranger here. In fact the two men
met on middle ground at Jasper. Walker
county voted for O'Nea1 in both of his
last offers for state office by large ma
!, 1orities and he is a real favorite here.

Old Constitution, He lays
NEW LAW ALTERS THINGS
Lines on Amendment Fight in Walker
County aye Been Drawn and In
dications Are That Vote Will
q Be Against the Issue.
BY F.V. EVANS.

Jasper. October 2-(Special THE opin-
ion of Judge Aeuff of this city that the
proposed amendment cannot be constitu-
tionally adopted is subject of much
interest here. Most of the lawyers here
regard his view sound Judge Weakley,
having attacked the position in his speech
yesterday, Judge Acuff said to your cor
respondent this morning. on being asked
IL he had an answer to the objections:
Judge Weakley in his speech yesterday
In answer to my interview, in which I
showed that IL the proposed amendment is
adopted it cannot become a part of the
constitution, said in substance, that all
the amendments proposed to the new con-
stitution had been proposed in the same
way that the present amendment was
proposed. That may be true. I have not
investigated. If he is right they were not
legally submitted, and when tested it will
be so declared
HE ridiculed my idea and said that,
in the case of May & Thomas Hardware
company VS.. Mayor and Aldermen of Biz
mingham, reported in 1913 Ala, $685. he
thrashed out and settled all these ques-
read that case 1 would find law I had
never seen before that he had used 10
years ago. Mr.. Weakley fails to remern-
Der that that case was a case under the
old constitution and not under the new

termed It, any possible doubt that might
have arisen from my interview.
Il know Mr.. Weakley to be a gentleman
and a lawyer of the highest type and
integrity. I know that he would not in
tentionally misrepresent the law to the
public. His trouble is that he has had his
mind on something else, and when he
drew the bill submitting the amendments
he never examined the constitution and
followed it, He just happened to remem-
Der the old constitution, and the case I'M
der 1t above referred to, and instead of
following the new constitution he followed

Emmett O'Neal handled Judge Weakley.

HE WANTED THE UNION LABEL
So the Probate Judge Hustled for An
other Marriage Certificate.

Hutchinson, Kan, May 26.-When
it came to choice between his trade
union and his prospective bride, Cole
man C. Clinton, linotype operator of
Portland, Ore, chose the former and
had it not been for the anxiety of
Probate Judge Jordan to please, the
marriage ceremony might not have
been performed. Clinton absolutely
refused to be married when the mar
riage certificate promised to be with
out union label.
Clinton received license to wed
Miss Ethyl Johnson Of Lindsborg, an
accomplished musician. He had come
from the Pacific coast to make her
his bride. Probate Judge Jordan has
lately received some sample fancy
marriage certificates from the east,
and he was about to use one of these,
when Clinton noticed the lack of the
union label and refused the certifi-
cate. Another certificate was secured
and the ceremony was performed.

MAY DIVIDE TERRITORY.
Visit of Standard Oil Officials Causes
Much Comment.

independence, Kan, May 26.-Much
the officials of the Standard Oil COM
pany to this city and much speculation
has been the result. The trip. as has
been announced, was in the nature of
an annual tour of inspection.
It has been asserted that the head
quarters Of the Prairie Oil e. Gas COM
PAW will still be retained in this city.
DESPITE the rumors to the contrary 1t
is likely, however. that division of
the territory of the Standard opera
lions in this part of the country, will
be made.
What is most encouraging to indie
pendence and vicinity, is the PROPOSE
ton that operations will be extensively
resumed hereabouts provided legisla-
ton becomes more favorable.

RECENT RAINS HELPED WHEAT
Straw Is Short But Cereal Promises
to Yield Well

ing to reports received here by the
millers and grain dealers. the con-
dition of the wheat crop throughout
the wheat belt in southwestern Kan
sas is greatly improved by the re-
cent rains. Prior to the rains the
growers had given UP hope of rails
ing .one-half of a crop. Now from
twelve to eighteen bushels to the
acre will be the yield in some coun-
ties if favorable weather continues
for four weeks.
In Pawnee. Edwards. Stafford,
Barton and Rice counties the wheat
is looking well but the straw is very
short This is considered an adj
vantage now as the strength goes to
the kernel which ordinarily would
have gone to the straw.
