 As matter of fact not single Senatorial District Tn Alabama sus- tained the position of the Senator who voted to force this election at this time with one or two possible excep- tions. Sumter and Pickens represent ed by Senator c. B. wimberiy, may possibly. when all the returns are in, vote for the amendment as he did, although that is doubtful. while every other Senatorial district in the State has gone against the amendment
 On the other hand the district of every Senator who protested and vot- ed against the amendment has sus- tained him. Senator Robert D. Sprng- ins has won a signal victory in Madi- son. Senator Frank S. Moody the father of tempefance Tn Alabama, who protested against the amendment as intemperance ins latwniakinx. was given splendid endorsement by his people.
 Senator John Gamble, together with his friend Chairman Charles Hender- son was given magnificent endorse ment by the people of Pike. who agreed with them and gave them a magnificent endorsement of $50 ma- jority.
 Senator Perry Thomas home coun- ty of Barbour rallied magnincentIy to the support of the minority leaders who fought so bravely in the legisla- ture against overwhelming odds.

 Birmingham, Nov 29.--Chair- man J. Lee Long, of the state Alabama Anti-amendment Com tonight Issued the following statement:
 T want to congratulate the people of Alabama on their great victory. because it Is theirs. It was won through efforts of the press such as the Age-Herald, Montgomery Ad- vertiser, Mobile Register and other papers in the State.
 ''It was won through the eff forts of the different county chairman who did such magni- ficent work in our organfza- ton; but the real work was done by the boys in the trenches, the beat committee men, of which we had three fin every beat of every county in the State.
 rThis will serve notice on future generations that the people of Alabama will not al- low any of their personal lib- critics abridged.
 T hope that the gentlemen on the other side will strike hands with us, as we have malice towards none and join us in a forward stride so that we can go on and make Alaba- bama the greatest State in the Union. I am proud of the fact that am an Aiabamian." a

living on little more than pint OF

Conditions at the home up 20 sever

who know anything concerning the
place, there never has been a record
of any child who entered or of the
