MT. Campbell's Card

MT. J. D. Collins, Chairman
 Dear Sir: At your request I give you my views relative to Colonel Mall lory's candidacy. Having known him for many years as an upright, straight forward citizen and successful lawyer l was prepared to hear him state his views as a candidate for governor in terms that would be clear and un- eauivocal. He lid this in his speech at the Jefferson theatre last Friday night His position on questions af- fecting the schools, good roads and / 1ensions for old soldiers cOmmendS itself to every one. I was struck, also, with the soundness of his views rela- tive to the distinction between the three coordinate branches of govern ment, namely, the executive, the legis- lative and the judicial. Each has It's own realm, and in selecting governor we are not selecting a member of the legislature, nor one to dominate the legislature. Colonel Mallory has evi- dentIy caught the spirit of the con- stitutional provision that ''the execu- tive shall never exercise the legisia- tive and judicial powers, or either of them,' and that the purpose of this wise provision. as expressly declared in the constitution, Is to the end that the government of this state may be n government of laws and not of mem It is worth remembering that the governor, in theory at least, has little to do with enacting laws Bills when passed by the legislature are required to be submitted to him for approval but they may become laws without his approval, by his mere fail- ire to sign them within a specified time: and if he veto a bill, his veto can he overridden by the legislature
 Position Plain.
 There is nothing equivocal in Col mel Mallory's position on the supJect of statewide prohibition He DeneVes in that policy. Whilst am opposed to the open saloon or its return l iay no e,aiy, to the title of a "prohibitionist'' ,or am I vet convinced that state s -,,sa nrohibition Is wise or enforcible. -, vny judgment it is still in an ex- ..ri,nental stage But am fully con
 ;,,ced that the statutes declaring -tate-wide prohibition having been en- acted. the policy thus adopted shouio = -;,,er a fair, reasonable and earnest triaj without subjecting it to the ,,ondicap of an administration that i ,,7irht look too leniently upon eHorts to break it down. Until that IS done, m one can cay, with confidence, that the policy Is Wise or an un"iso o ' would ike to see the agitation about 1bis question ended. In my opinion cc,,tinuance of it's agitation does not [.,e any good for the democratic
 rt,, in this state, and since we have lh laws as strict as they can well be se..e, it seems to me to be the better .er,,ree to try them out. A fair trial or Sf,sm should settle the policy for the s.st,,re. Ali unfair trial of them will t1t -eftle anything. If the prohibition 1o,.es, nroves good. it will no doubt be

MALLORY NEEDED BY
 STATE OF ALABAMA

And it seems the more encumbent on some of US to take this stand If we recall the argument very generally made in the anti-amendment cam paign by speakers opposing the amend ment, that we were not seeking re- peal of the prohibition statutes, but would urge fair trial of them.
 Points at Stake.
 This brings me to the point as to what figure the platform of the Mont gomery conference can cut in this campaign. l am quite positive that 1t was never intended to form plat form for a democratic primary or for the democratic party. The issue was too limited to serve that purpose, Tor the party issues cover many other questions than the amendment. That conference was not confined to dem- ocrats, and among it's members were some leading republicans of this state. Its sole purpose was to formulate op- position to the adoption of the pro- posed amendment. and It's appeal was addressed to all electors, whether democrats, republicans, populists, prohibitionists O. otherwise, who could be brought to oppose the amendment, and the platform was designed to fur- nish standing room as to that single issue, for all who would aid in the de- feat of the proposed amendment, re- gardless of party or factonal af1llia- tions That platform asserted that 'prohibitlon" was not an issue, and that saloons was not an issue. and declared that we are not seeking the repeal of the prohibition laws; and advocated "an enforcement of the laws" The issue presented was a single issue, and with the defeat of the amendment the only issue made by the platform ended. That issue was settled by the people and think happily settled, and Colonel Mallory stated in his speech that he considered it settled for his lifetime, at least. For years democrats In Alabama have been offended by the efforts of cer- tain politicians in other sections to make capital for themselves by waving the bloody shirt. and shall we now seek to make capital by Haunting a dead irsue in the fact of our own peo- pie? think It reasonable to insist that

administration may be confronted with a deficit, the states revenues must be conserved, the convict system must be considered; taxes seem high enough now; but the schools must go on and the old soldiers must not be forgotten; good roads is live ques- ton. Hut let us not forget that Tn selecting a governor we are choosing our chief executive and that we will certainly need careful man at the helm of the ship of state.
