VISITORS E[ATED
OVER THE ACTION
OF CONVENTION
Struck With Unanimous Senti-
ment in Favor of Local
Option
HAMONY PREVAILED
AMONG DELEGATES
1t Was an O'Neal Convention and One
Opposed to Statewide Prohi-
bition--Somc of the Express
sions Heard

Delegates returning from Montgomery
last night were unanimous. practically
s,-eaking, in expressing their approval
of the action of the state democratic
cow, ,tion. They were struck with the
unanih ! of the delegates in favor of
local OPP as opposed to statewide pro-
hibition. who returned spoke of the
harmony VIII prevailed, and several re-
joiced in that IN their opinions democracy
is returning to it's old mornings. That
everyone was satisfied with what occur
red was apparent.
Among those who returned were: w.
H. Mcdowell of Ensley, John McCartin,
Eugene L. Brown, Frank Nelson, Jr
Frank Fowlkes, Guy r. Johnson, Forney
Johnston, Sol Caheen, Jack Crawford of
Jasper, W.. T. Brown OF Ragland and
others.
Guy johnson Talks
GUY r. johnson said: THE convention
was strongly for local option. I think 1t
safe to say that rs or so per cent of the
delegates were opposed to the present
prohibition laws. And in the local option
ranks great harmony prevailed"
' Sol Caheen: 1.-The convention was a
splendid success. Not only was it local
option gathering, but SO far as the ma
jority was concerned it was character
lied by genuine harmony James Wealth
erly, Byrd Farmer and Colonel O'Neai
made great speeches. O'Neal seemed to
be in excellent form and his speech was
one of the finest l ever listened to. What
struck me and greatly pleased me was
the straightforward way in which the
speakers discussed the liquor question.
During the time was in the convention
the prohibition laws were hit right from
the shoulder. And there was no mincing
of words"
