20 years, and for years chairman Of the democratic committee.
 Here Mr. Burns spoke sarcastically of the 'tComer wave" and declared that MT. Mallory supported Cunningham and went down with him in defeat, but despite the Conner opposition, was reelected chair man of the state committee. These things, he said were enough to "everlastingly, and eternally refute, confute and damn the charge that MT. Mallory is weak ling"
 The second count in the indictment taken up was that MT. Mallory aided and abetted in the removal of the right or trlai by jury. He pointed to the eighth sec ton of the constitution which allows the legislature to do away with the jury in cases of msdemeanor, 'the source or all this jury legislation about which they wall.
 q can look back over that constitu- tional convention and I find MT. Mallory nowhere to be seen, but MT. O'Neal was there looming up large as chairman or the local legislation committe. IL was his duty to watch every part of that con stitution and it was no doubt scrutinized by him. He was honor bound. then, to raise the hue and cry. and If he did not he should hold his peace.
 Let him without guilt throw the hrst stone. ONeal is the man who was sit ting there like a mummy in lsOl. when that convention was comforting dangerous powers upon the legislature of Alabama.
 About the Amendment
 Then he took up the amendment and told how 1t died and was buried. heier- ring to the expression, the city or the bleaching bones," and the 'aspersions which are being cast upon Morgan and Pettus," he said that the character and record of Mir. Mallory Is mightier than those who fling mud upon the illustrious heads.
 He devoted several minutes to beau- tiful tribute to the famous old leaders or Selma.
 Then MT. Burns proposed to take peep into MT. O'Neal's record with re1- erence to this liquor traffic, this vex- ing recurring problem. Now, we hear MT. O'Neal saving that we have statewide prohibition laws and he Is in favor oi giving them a fair trial, and again we hear him call them inquitious, nefarious, and declare that they must be modified or repealed. ,,, ,,e.
 ''Personally I wish him health, lire ana sucoes. but just at this juncture l would rather he should find it in private life
 Hike a chameleon, he changes ac- cordlns to his environment. When he IS in prohibition country he just naturally talks prohibition. Hypocracy Is ram pant in American politics. Beware res. ye be betrayed He told Joke or a boy describing the animals at circus, the point of which compared MT. o'Neal to an elephant with two tails,' ana you can't tell which way he is going "''n reference to this liquor question.
 "Rut MT. Burns then declared that really the governor has very little 10 do with determining the legal policy u, oi this state on the liquor question. Lne @ democratic party is still king in Ala hama. and it's voice speaks to both gov ernor and legislature from the state con vention. MT. Mallory says that when e,l.,, the ,' sovereign convention speaks he will obey.
 lie final point was that he had learned a nersonal lesson from the amendment aeht. Alabama does not want hier- aTchy, and we will soon ind mat sne does not want a boozarchy and does not ;nts,d to fall into the power of the al lied interests.
