 The committee had band that rendered noble service. And general regret was expressed that the Mont- gomery band, after it had been engag- ed and had agreed to come. had tp can eel the engagement because members of the band had theatrical and other engagements in Montgomery And be- cause of this. the special train from Montgomery was called off. Although a considerable number of Montsomer- fans came to the big meeting on the accommodation train. But the local band did it's duty and the crowd had no right to complain of a lack of mu- sic.

the worst experiences the white peo- pie could expect. He minced no words.
 Julius Davidson spoke Q few words against the amendment. and Judge Carmicael closed the speaking at this stand, calling on the people to vote against the 9-randment.
 During the speaking scores of the ment went forward to shake the hand of Emmett O'Neal.
 Veterans are Interested.
 Directly in front of the stand on the north west corner there were a number of men who were evidently veterans, and they listened most in- tently while the various speakers told wha thad been done with the old sol diers' fund by the Conner administra- ton, frequently interrupting the speakers with suggestions of their own.
 The first speaker was Senator Fred S. Blarkmon. who apologized to the audience for being member Of the present Legislature, qualifying his re- mark by adding that he meant for be- ing a member of the Legislature thar took away funds from the old sol dier.
 He declared that every old veteran who died today did so with the State owing him s35.
 He dwelt on the amount of money in the treasury when Governor Jelks relinouished the reins of office and the present depleted State treasury. and declared that great deal of this money had been used to increase the salaries of officials. and to create more offices. He attacked the measure that nlaced the drawing of juries In the bands Of the Governor. He contended that the people of Jefferson had ai- ways been able to select their own turles. but that from the now the cray was "let Conner do It, let Brooks Lawrence do it.

 Mir. Long made his strongest hit then he read from a paper the list or

monies that had been drawn from the State Treasury by Judge Weakley which list he said had been taken from the auditors report
 No man can ever say that I was made a penny richer through whia key but that is more than Governor Conner can say. and. I'll bet two to one that Brooks Lawrence cannot say so either" said Mir Long. Conner claims to be the educational Governor of Alabama the speaker said. but what did he ever educate. We have seen him as a rum selelr and know that he educstes little children up to the principal of working In his mills for little money"
 MT. Long was followed by L. F | Greer, who was introduced as a suc- cessful farmer from Calhoun county. Mir. Greer instantly impressed his audience with his sincerity. He said he had struggled with this question of constitutional prohibition. and that he had gone Into the secrecy of hls room and prayed to God to guide him in his study of this question. He had never had a bottle of whiskey in his house in twenty-five years except when 1t was prescribed for medical purposes. He defied any one to at tack his morality. as well as that
  munity who did not want a "blue- belled Yankee from Ohio to come there and teach them morality"
 Mr. Greer said he had been D pro- hibtionist all his life. but that he had decided that the proposed amendment was nothing but piece of political jobbery.
 Tt is a question as to whether you will line up with the politicians or whether you will be with the people who made this State what 1t Is. or rather what 1t was before Conner had anything to do with running it." the speaker said.
 MT. Greer made telfing hit when he referred to his wife ahd said that she sometimes made wfne for the benefit of her neighbors sick children and asked hts audience whether there was | man among them who would have any respect for law that branded her as criminal for so doing.
 He declared that he believed his wife to be a saint compared with law. makers who would psss such a law. and added that his wife would be in Paradise when Judge Weakley's ashes were crying for a Lazarus
 Mir. Greer concluded with the state ment that the people of n;s town. Choc- eolocco, had. with the exception of two, voted for prohibition. but that there were only six of them who would vote for the amendment. on Novem Der 29
 We will bury Governor Conner and Judge Weakley so deep" said Mir. Greer. that they will not be able to scratch out and we will bury them In such a manner that if they do succeed in moving. their faces will be in the direction they ought to go"

dred ladies at the unique meeting, who heartily applauded the speakers
 On the stand topped by four bril- liant arc lights. Gen. George P. Har- rison delivered his first addres of the present campaign. It was masterly addres, both eloquent and persuasive.
 General Harrison somehaw caught the fancy of the crowd. He delivered his points with telling force and the crowd was with him from start to fin ish. He went after the present day politician with force. and aggressive ness. He could hardly proceed for the applause which greeted his chief ut- teratces.
 Spragfns Makes . ls:..
 He was followed by Senator Robert E. Spragins of Madison. The tall clean cut and courageous State Senator pleased the large audience no less than did the distinguished Confederate Vet eran who had preceded him.
 Senator Spragins' words were apt and well chosen. He was parliament ary and he was not abusive, but the State administration was never ar- raigned more determinedly or moro ag- gressively.
 Senator spragins reception was one to warm the hearts of his friends. The crowd called for him before it was his time to speak and when ne finally came to the front of the stand he was cheered to the echo. Nor did he disapoint the crowd either in eloquence or in logic.
 He was followed by P. c. Bowman In an eloquent and fiery speech. MT. Bowman reused some of his hearers to enthusiastic appla use.
 Over this stand Judge H. C.. Miller, the Jefferson county chairman presid- ed. and his opening address was one of the fine things of the evening.
 Judge John Carmichael presided at the stand on the East Twentieth street side of the park. Hon. Emmet oNeal was the principal speaker at this place and when he went through the history of the present State administration he aroused much enthusiasm. He dwelt at length on the provision to search the homes of people and every word was a shot deep to the hearts of the 4-.eners MT. O'Neal was received with enthusiasm. ]. j. Willett of AnnistoB was brief but. forcible speaker. He admonished his hearers to be careful with their franchise and not vote rights away.
 E. w. Booker told of his experiences in earlier days and pointed to himself as an original Ku-Klux. but he pointed to the proposed amendment as one of

 There were cries of, GO on, tell us about him." But the Governor refus- ed. saying that the sheriff is his own official. However. he did read an ex- tract from an afternoon paper saying that the law is being rigidly observed In Montgomery. The Governor declared that the statement that he has robbed the vet erans to pay attorneys Is 'concentrat- ed potash meaning a short anu ugly word.
 He spoke of the "search and seiz- ure' phase of the Fuller bill as an old institution, having been introduc- ed in 1852.
 "rhey say have brought this fight on for political purposes" he declar- ed bitterly.
 How can 1t benefit me?''
 some one suggested the Senate rumor. Governor Conner answered by displaying a copy of the State Consti tution containing the clause prohibit ing his entrance In the raca He sail he had heard this clause was intro duced for Governor Johnston's bene- fit.
 Another man suggested that a still hunt was unuer way to change the as- pect of the next Legislature. Governor Conner replied that he had | heard the same thing, and that that | Is a reason for the adoption of the amendment.
 Mir Conner charged that the newspa- pers are dominated by whfskey adver- l tisements, and that while they would give columns to the merits of liquors, they would say nothing concerning the | x..n- tragedy in Crenshaw county as an in- stance.

 When asked concerning "the Ohio carpet hagger." Governor Conner said the State owes Brooks Lawrence debt of gratitude rather than tor rent of invective.
 Incidentally, the Governor said that he himself Is a follower and not leader In the prohibition fight. and that he had been converted to rrohi- bition since his induction Into office, and ns result of his study of the convicts and insane.
