 Prom every county in Alabama the farmers with peculiar uninimty are entering their protest against it's rat, fflcation. Almost the entire legal of the leading lawyers have spoken from every stump in Alabama against 1t: at least ninety per cent of the medical profession are on record in opposition to 1t: an overwhelming preponderance of the bankers. rner- chants. manufacturers and business men of the state are up In arms against It's ratification: more church communicants in the state of Ala bama win vote against it's ratification than will vote for its adoption.
 T am Indeed sorry to see the posi- tion taken by the registrars of Jef- ferson County ia refusing to let old Csnfederate soldiers, and other white men who are qualified. reglster as the constitution permits. This is, . viola- tion of the very spirit of the Con- stttution itself. because when 1t was adopted its framers pledged the peo- pie of Alabama that 1t would dis franchise no white man. . The course they are pursuing violates the very principle which they claim they are fighting for. am indeed sory to see white men become so intemperate will only initiate against them and will add votes to. our side.
 "In view of these facts 1t is with confidence I refterate that the doom of the Admendment has already been sealed. have endeavored to con- duct and direct this campaign with malice toward none and good will for all. I trust that on the day of the election the voters of Alabama. on both sides. will so conduct them seves as that all asperities and ant- mosities which may have been engend- cred will be wiped out. thereby en- abIing every citizen who loves his state to shake hands with every other citizen. no matter what his preference may have been in the election.
