ROGERS PRESENTS STRIKING WORDS
 IN O'NEAL'S BEHALF Senator Lowe and Mayor Walk CT of Florence Also Ad-

 THE NEXT GOVERNOR Speakers Say Mallory Claimed Amend ment Was Moral Issue and Yet
 He Now Says the Moral
 Issue Is Dead

beIofe an entnuslaStlc CrOWd or young men. who cheered repeatedly and inces- sanity, John A. Rogers of Sumpter, and State Senator W. T. Lowe made eloquent addresses last night in the interest of Col. Emmet O'Neal for governor. The membership of the Young Mems Good Government club was well represented.
 The speakers charged Mallory with wearing the collar of the anti-Saloon league" and conclusively answered the attack which has been made against Colonel O'Nears party loyalty, praising him as a man of honesty, integrity and worth, and laughing at the men who seek to dodge an issue but five months has been in its grave IA years
 Senator Lowe made a spirited attack upon MT. Mallory, questioning his sin cerity. He asked how man could be sincere who went up and down the state presenting the amendment as great moral issue, with no politics in its, and is now willing to let such moral issue die and stay dead. He charged MT. Mallory with quietly lining up the amendists, tell ing them that the issue is still whisky or no whisky" while he hopes to fool enough people by declaring that the is- sue of the campaign is dead, to slip into the office.
 Going to He Governor
 Mr. Rogers declared that O'Neal is going to be governor of Alabama and intolerance will die, fanaticism will hide its head, and bigotry will shrink back into its shame"
 Among other things. MT. Rogers said
 We want Emmet O'Neal because we want good government. We know that we can't get it from the heir of Conner, who disinherited all of his legitimate chill dren-Henderson, Weakley and Seed
 q do not speak of Mallory unkindly. have no desire to bring any ugly words into this campaign. Judge Tyson has entirely failed in his venomous denuncia- tion I prefer to leave to those who are wanting In argument, and lacking in something logical to say, the epithets of abuse"
 Mir Rogers made an eloquent review of the fight of man for liberty against the supremacy of kings and bigots. and when i've reward man not for his an- cestors but for himself. We live in a republic which rests upon the broad shoulders of all the people.
 lover the suffering of wise and good men through the centuries we come to stand upon the threshold of the twentieth century-a liberty loving people. We the stars. It Is our duty, by the sacri- fees of our fathers that gave us free doom, to see that we pass this liberty on to our children.
 In the thirteenth century, by force of arms, our forebears secured the right of trial by jury, and it was held inviolate until the year 1909, when Corners legisla- ture decided to take 1t away, and I op- pose Mr. Mallory because he indorses their action. In the same month, the same day and the same hour they laid their profane hands upon the sanctity of our homes, and I oppose MT. Mallory because he stands for that
 MT Rogers declared that only twice had American homes been attacked by law in the history of the country. The first, he said, was when King George issued wrjts for the search of the colonists' homes for smuggled goods. That pre- cipitated a revolution, and yet these agi- tators are trying to place it on this en- frightened people,
 Bigotry Never Surrenders
 Changing his line of argument, the speaker said: "Bigotry never surrenders. Equipped in Ohio, Brooks Lawrence brought it to Alabama. This state de- mands for it's governor man whose rep- utation is as spotless as thes stars, and will not have a governor who wears the collar of the Anti-saloon league. MT. Nal lory is a good man, but his bent of mind weakens him and makes him dangerous.
 q do not say that both candidates are not equally interested in the welfare of Alabama We are guarded against the bad men, but it is the good intentioned man who is wrong that can do us the greatest harm. It has been charged that the old-time populites and republicans are for O'Neal. I will go further and say that the old-time populites. the republic ans. the Christians and the Jews are all for Colonel O'Neal. He Is the candidate of the people of Alabama because he has their confidence and their confidence is not misplaced This was followed by continuous applause.
 'I am against Mir Mallory because he
