MUST ADHERE TO
 PARTY PRINCIPLES
DEMOCRATS MUST GIVE UNFALTER-
 ING SUPPORT TO STATE AND MA
 TIoNAL ORGANIZATIONS TO WIN :, THE NEXT HOUSE

Huntsville, August 17.-(Special.) )-Con- gressman William Richardson has given out an interview here expressing his views as to what should be the relation of democrats to republican insurgents in the present campaign. His idea Is that If the democratic party is to win the next House 1t must be based upon faithful adherence to democratic principles, na- tional and state. Republican insurgents, he says, certainly do not espouse that doctrine.
 Judge Richardson says if the insurgents are sincere and honest in their opposition to the Payne tariff law. the only place that they can do effective work against the regulars Is in the democratic ranks The democratic party must fight this bat tie on It's own merits and Judge Rich ardson believes a democrat should run for Congress in every district contested by a regular and an insurgent He says that on the floor of the House during the last Congress In every available instance every insurgent declared that he was an ardent and unfalterins protectionist In what way, he asks, can the democratic party coalesce and divide favors with men entertaining such views? If insur- gent views should hold the balance of bower in the House, what benefit would come of it to the democrats? He believed |huch dependence would tend to com promise the democratic party and weaken and undermine its political organization

PROHIBITIONISTS WILL
 NOT HOLD CONFERENCE

Huntsville. August -(Special.)-The report that the prohibitionists of Ala bama have called a conference to con sider the question of putting out an in- dependent ticket against the democratic state nominees is denied here by R. E. Pettus. a prominent prohibitionist and trustee of the Anti-Saloon league.
 "Who is fatherng this movement" said MT. Pettus, T am unable to say As a member of the board of trustees of the Alabama Anti-Saloon league, I have not been invited to attend such con- ference. Too much nagging sometimes provokes people to do things they other wise would leave undone. If there ever was time in the history of Alabama politics when the conciliatory spirit on the part of the leaders should be ex- hibited, 1t Is the present, for more pe- culiar complications perhaps never before existed

REPORTS OF DIsCoRD

Montgomery, August f.-(Special.)-It Is a matter of sincere regret to the lead CTS of the democratic party in the state that so much is being said about making trouble for any who may not be in line with the platform of the convention at Montgomery. The nominees of the pri- mary are the selections of the people, and every loyal democrat will support them. The convention was made up of repre- sentatives of the people, chosen at the same time the candidates were selected. and the platform they have made is dem ocratic output, result of represetative action.
 At the same time no one Is to be CO., creed into support of it and the party leaders in the state assert most emphat- ically that they will not stand for any such thing. State Chairman Tyler Good wyn and Campaign Committee Chairman Jesse Stallings agree in this attitude. Walter D. Seed, nominee for the second place on the ticket, need have no fears fthe support of the party, no matter what he says about the platform, or what he thinks of 1t. The same thing Is so of any others who feel that there IS more or less in 1t than they care to support That Is matter for their own free will" said Chairman Goodwin.

So far as can be discovered at this end. the reports of discord all come from the minority of the party in the state. The O'Neal forces, those behind his nom nation for the governorship, are out spoken in their assertions that no man need fear the support of the majority faction if he is the choice of the people. Some seem to think that there Is an ef- fort to find out just how much strength might be worked up for an Independent fight. being at all times able to draw pack if 1t becomes too much agitated. IL is a fact, though, that MT. Seed is not any part of 1t. He has been assured that the dominant wing of the party is going to stand by him and he is resting on that assurance.
 All the talk of an Independent move ment has surprised old party men who can see no sort of good to come rom It, No one can put his hands on sinsle movement to throw anybody out or to make anybody trouble, and the agitation taken to be most unfortunate. With the nomination of O'Neal by substan- tial majority in the party ranks. 1t Is presumed by all loyal party men that the thing to do is to go out and elect the ticket. No candidate is forced to sign the platform, even though he may be ex- pected to regard 1t as instructive arter he Is in the act of legislating.
