PLAN FIGHT ON
PLAGUE IN STATE
PROMINENT MEN WILL SPEAK AT
ANTI-TUBERCULOS SERVICE
u TONIGHT

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
This nation is engaged in a battle for
life Out of 100000 people 100000 are
victims of some form of tuberculosis.
Every part of the country is being ap-
pealed to that all may be aroused to con-
certed action in the expectation that
within much less than a generation this
foe at least may be conquered. But none
Is more insidous, none, more contagious.
We spend vast sums for medicine and
pure food and physical betterment,
though as yet little has been done toward
the rousing of the nation against this
widespread peril.
Much money has indeed been expended
and many people have heard of the anti
tuberculosis movement. Yet when we
consider that everyone is exposed to the
peril. that a slight neglected cold will
give fatal opportunity to the infection,
centers all over Alabama, it Is clear that
the work has hardly begun. The plain
man asks: But what can I do?" Pre-
cisely that is the question which will be
answered tonight in the service at the
Amuse-U theatre.
Short addresses will be given by the
following physicians, all eminent In their
profession, and all intensely alert to the
situation: DIR. l.. B. Wyman, DR.. w. G.
Harrison and City Health Officer DR..
Hardness. Many such meetings will be
necessary. May l add that we do not
ask sick people to come. The meeting is
for the healthy, that they may learn how
best to aid the Sick Respectfully,

Declaring that the vote tomorrow will
be the largest ever cast for governor of
Alabama and that Emmett o'Neal will
be elected by an even larger majority
than was cast against the amendment, J.
Lee Long. his campaign manager. gave
out this final interview before the cleo
ton:
1.-THE campaign of Emmett ONeal for
governor, which began in confidence. has
ended In triumph. His majority at the
polls Monday will be the largest ever
given a democratic candidate for gov
ernor In an Alabama primary. The total
vote in the state we expect to be De-
tween 125,O00 and 10000. and the ONeal
majority will be a landslide running any
where between 10000 and 10000. The prl-
mary election Monday will not only name
Mr. ONeal as governor for his splendid
courage and able leadership when hys-
terra ruled almost unchallenged in Ala
bama. but II will be an overwhelming re-
buke to the men who misused the power
and the privilege of public office to di-
vert Alabama's government from It's OLD
basis of fairness and equality ana JUS
ticc. The voters of Alabama Monday. In
naming Hon. Emmett O'Neal as governor,
will issue a decree from the people-the
sovereign power in free government
that the state government of Alabama
must be restored to and maintained on
the fundamental principles of the demo-
cratic party.
"If the triumphant campaign of Hon.
Emmett O'Neal has done nothing else it
has demonstrated to all who may have
doubted it that there has been revolt in
Alabama, which will shape policies and
govern ambitions for years to come The
people were patient and long suffering
while our politics were rushed from one
stage of hysteria to another. When a
shrewdly planned and powerfully backed
movement was inaugurated to deprive
liberty-loving people of the certain rights
a self-rovernIng people had enjoyed they
rose In a political revolution. The over
whelming defeat Of the amendment was
this revolt in action. The nomination OF
Hon. Emmett O'Neal, the leader OF the
fiRht for constitutional rights. by an even
larger majority is notice to the world
that Alabama has put hysteria and IA
naticism behind her and that she will re-
ouire of her public men who fill her pub
lie office that they be able, sane and well
poised.
"A new era has been ushered in"
]. B. Ellis, manager of the Mallory
state campaign committee, said:
..Mr. Mallory will win in the primary on
Monday.
ior,ty and he will, carry seven of the
nine congressional districts in Alabama.
These predictions are based on reports
now in ms-r>ossession. The latest re-
ports received >hroughout the
state leave no douD~ 4 my mind of the
success of Mr.. Mallory, and was never
more confident in any election than
am that Mr.. Mallory will be the victor

Colonel O'Neal brought forth a cheer. He
called upon the voters to elect a legisla-

and announced his platform to be equal

a few words, paid a tribute to Colonel

After the ~seech of the next governor

that the people of Lauderdsle love and
appreciate him and that bankers, preach

united In his favor.
Ir opening his address Colonel O'Neal
said
O'Neal's Speech
II cannot command words sufficient to
express my grateful appreciation of the
honor done me by the enthusiastic greet
ing of this splendid audience. 1t is but
fitting that the closing speech of this
campaign should be delivered in the same
city and in the same building in which
we held the first meeting to organize the
present contest against that spirit Of in
tolerance and radicalism, which has so
long cursed our state, and to unite our
efforts toward making permanent the
great victory won last November.
Il congratulate you tonight that your
patriotic labor for the restoration of sane,
safe and conservative government has not
been in vain. congratulate you that the
combined hosts of intolerance and rad
icalsm are today routed, defeated and in
full retreat, and that all the campaign
canards, all the campaign lies, always
the last desperate resort of a defeated and
discredited minority cannot stem the
rising tide of popular Indignation now
sweeping over Alabama, at their base be-
trayal of the peoples right or save them
from that crushing and humiliating dis
aster which is in store for them on May g.
II congratulate you that we are about
to return to the ancient landmarks and
about to restore that wise spirit of con-
servatism under whose quickening influ-
ence Alabama will advance steadily in
her triumphal march to grander and
greater achievements in all the fields
of progress-industrial, material and
moral development.
Contrast the meeting tonight with
that held in the same hall last even
lug and who Is so partisan as to
doubt that. the great victory YOU saw
last November will not be ratified and
reaffirmed on May 2?

Explains the Conference
In closing, Colonel O'Neal said:
I'm the great contest for the protec-
ton of the constitution and the Individual
liberties of the people there was one man
who rendered me more assistance than
any other in Alabama. When l first
reached Montgomery for the purpose OF
consulting with the leaders who were op-
posed to the amendment, they all with
few exceptions said that the effort would
be powerless to defeat the amendment.

feat the movement inaugurated by the
administration and by secret political
organization Is not by guerilla warfare,
but by combined and concerted effort
We must call the old Guard into con-
ference, but the question Is by what
method we can accomplish that result.
Mr.. Long said the proper mode of pro-
cedure is to issue a call for a conference
