oI. MalIory's Axact Words.


 You know if you have kept up with be through the papers that I believe Tn the policy of statewide prohibition. don't propose to evade anything. There seems to be a desire on the part of the people that the law on statewide prohibi- ton be given a full free and fair trial That is my view on that question It is too important a question to be played about like a game of battledore and shut tle-cock, but should be settled honestly and fairly without prejudice. I believe by observation to the contrary, that state wide prohibition Is best for the people and the state of Alabama.
 Tt is not becoming in one to say any thing against any opponent except his public declarations. AS l understand my opponent is opposed to statewide prohibit tion. He has that right. I speak from my convictions and he has right and it is his duty to speak from his, but l be- lieve that the policy of statewide pro- hibition should be tested by a friendly hand and not by an unfriendly one. As I understand it, everybody practically says these statewide laws should be given a fair test so the people can see, and submit these laws should be tested un- der the administration of one friendly or unfriendly to them It is for you to say.
 Nndt you lCdu III tut pdptfo you will see there is determination on she part of those opposing me to fight this campaign out on a dead issue. There are no amenders, there are no anti-amenders except as the terms are used for partisan political purposes. That issue is dead, and there is no desire to revive it. If it is revived it will not be during my life time, and yet they say I am unworthy to be governor because favored the amend ment, and they have branded me a fanat- ic and a radical because I voted and worked for the amendment according to my honest convictions. It is not patriotic nor for the best interests of our state, our party or our people to continue an at- tempt to keep the state in strife and dis- sention. l am trying to conduct my cam paign on living issues, not on dead ones. If there was dissention in your house. hold you wound not attempt to keep it alive. and the same thing applies in the great party household of democracy.
 Waving Bloody Shirt.
 "When I read in the morning papers last Friday the account of the ONeal meeting in Birmingham I could in my inauguration see the shade of Thaddeus Stevens arise as he waved the bloody shirt over our southland keeping alive an issue which is so dead now that when a senator from way Up wonder in Idaho attempted to emulate Stevens example fir
