THE BATTLE ENDS TODAY
O'NeaI Will He Heard Tonight in Big Final Rally When Thousands VIII Express Confidence In
 the Outcome
BY BURR BLACKBURN

The Mallory campaign was practically closed last night but the big guns for Emmet O'Neal will be heard all this day greatest rally of the campaign will wind up the fight for the governorship.
 During the last few days of the cam paign friends of Colonel Mallory, in the desperation of despair. have circulated charges full of political venom. Colonel ONeal promises that tonight he will an swer these eleventh-hour charges and he will be surrounded on the platform by those prominent in his state and county who will speak simply of his character as 1t is.
 The approach of the battle of ballots brings with it the rumble of the vic torious army of the people which will follow up the victory of last November and capture the capital, the government and the constitution.
 By thousands they will vote Crop con- ditions, nor any otter exigency will pre- vent more than 100000 voters going to the polls. The people who rallied to the de- fense of their constitution will not rest ulitii u lS pldCtu DtSOl dlldth, diu luS government is in the hands of people who do not plot it's destruction.
 AS the trains unloaded the speakers and the candidates who have tramped the state, the enthusiasm of the crowd be- came more and more evident. and every one of them declares that the people of the state are aroused.
 The one issue of the campaign has been the constitution. The man who led the most to aid in its attack, have been bat ting over the hills and valleys of Ala bama for the possession of the govern ment of that constitution.
 It is safe beyond any question to say that O'Neal's majority will exceed 15. coo. Give him r counties at an average of 300 majority, and O'Neal would have the fight won. Give Mallory 45 counties. at an average of 200 majority and 1oc0 for Dallas, and his majority only reaches $500. while in 17 counties ONeafs ma jority will be more than 15,000.
 The charge that MT ONeal was drunk at Monroeville has been denied by men who were with him all the time. Such a plea against a man wi O for six weeks has been speaking to great crowds twice each day and gathering the whole state to his banner who last night spoke to over 600 at Ensley, after having ad- dressed the biggest crowd Blount county ever turned out for a public speaking, 8 { noon, Is so childish that 1t was not ex- pected from thinking men.
 'The man named Sawyer" who gave the Huntsville and Selma papers an op- portunity to bring up the brewery slush ha u-l1tph T1inrhed the defeat of the amendment, is another des- perate cry of the defeated. Sawyer has resolved himself into dew and is no more.
 R. L. Glenn, president of the Alabama Trust and Savings bank of Florence came to Birmingham yesterday with Mir. O'Neal. In speaking of the demonstra- tion at Mobile last Monday he said: "I have seen two presidents inaugurated, but never in my life have l seen a more en- thusiastic demonstration nor such streets filled with thousands of people as they were last Monday. With string of torch lights carried by prominent citizens stretching for miles, and every block of the march packed with cheering people, one had to realize that the people were cheering their standard bearr of both this and the recent fight"
 The politicians % the state are gather ing in Birmingham. Not a candidate Is missing.
