today at 1890 o'clock in the Brown Marx
building. The following is the committee:
Chairman, j. Lee Long of Butler.

Third district, G. p Bowling of Ozark.

The meeting was called for the purpose
of getting an accurate line on every pre-
cinct, county and district of the state. The
several members will advise as to the
best policy to adopt in each of the dis
tricts and what steps in each district
~
the state campaign committee, reached
Birmingham yesterday. He states that
there will be full attendance on the part
of the other members with the possible
exception of A. 8. Vandergraff, who is
professor of law at the University of
Alabama, and George M. Rains of Albert
Vile, who, it is understood at headquar-
ters, is serving on a jury.
The report current Wednesday that
Charles L. Henderson, president of the
railroad commission, will be asked to take
charge of the northern Alabama fight
could not be confirmed yesterday. AS a
matter of fact 1t developed that Mr.. Long
has determined to remain in Birmingham
for the greater part of his time and take
active charge himself.
Mr. Long is most optimistic. 1.-THE re-
ports are so encouraging" stated he,
that I dare not say for publication that
which l feel to be true. However, you
may state that believe we will win and
that with a pretty fair margin. The re-
ports from south Alabama are exceeding
ly bright, and I feel that we will sweep
the state in that section. And we will
more than hold our own in the northern
portion OF the state. OF course, I would
not attempt, at this early stage Of the
fight, to predict the majority. No sensible
man without appearing ridiculous could
do that"
IT speaking of the work Of the commit
tee and those who are assisting the COM
mittee, Mr.. Long said: 1--WE have the most
perfect organization ever existing In the
state of Alabama. We are not getting in
touch with the voters. We are already
in touch with them. We have in prac-
tically every precinct an organization
There are In every precinct three repre-
lsentative citizens who are working and
reporting daily. We have the state full
Of speakers. Fifty anti-amendment ora
tors have engagements for Saturday.
Within another week 100 will be actively
in the field. All in all, affairs are most
satisfactory"
