COMMISSION DID NOT
 CREATE THE DEBT

"The city bond issue is a good busi- ness proposition" said c. W. Ufford, former president of the Business Mems league 'The commissioners have our confidence. They did not create the debt that is to be funded and we should give tlsem a fair chance to show what they can do. They certainly will not have this fair chance if they must do all their work with this debt millstone hanging around their necks. I do not see why there should be any opposition to the proposition"

 He expressed his pleasure at the se- lection of Mir. Burr as his lieutenant in the coming fight and predicted vic tory for the great moral issue before them. He stated in conclusion that II they lost, the local optionists would know they had had a fight and present ed MT. Burr with the statement that he could not have been given better running mate than the gentleman se- lected as vice chairman.
 Burr Well Received Mir Barr was accorded a great welcome as he expressed his appreciation of tho honor and said that while realizing the great responsibility, he gladly and proud ly accepted it. He expressed his regrets at being plunged into another liquor fight at this time, but being in the fight every one should give all the possible time and strength to wage the war to a victorious conclusion.
 He explained at length the dangerous l features of the Smith bill especially In reference to the hotel clause, and urged that the voters of the county be informed as to this provision of the bill, which he stated allowed a saloon to be operated in hotels containing 30 rooms. that no reg
  and that they can stay open continuously and never close if they desire. He asserted that the excise commission had full power to. grant licenses to un- limited saloons under the hotel clause and that from their decision there is no appeal In discussing in detail the au- thority conferred on the excise commits sioners by the Smith bill Mir Burr said 'rrhey are to be appointed by the chief executive. Judging by his environments and his past actions, it would seem that the prohibltionists have as much show in getting a commission the coun- try boy has at the shell game at a cir GUS"
 He concluded by expressing a belief that to show the people what the Smith bill means would be a strong factor in winning the fight.
 Calls for Conner
 At the conclusion of MT. Burr's speech he was accorded much applause and cries of "Comer," "Comer' came from every part of the hall. On rising the applause was deafening. Declining to mount the stage, Governor Conner said: "I want to thank you gentlemen for your kindly well come, and say that I appreciate it. I want to assure you I am with you now and forever in this fight that makes for better and higher citizenship in Alabama. agree with the statements made by all of the distinguished speakers today. I stand ready to do all in my power for this great cause that you are fighting for today" ...... A motion to adjourn was made but V. c. Hart of Dallas, Texas. asked to ad- dress the meeting He was given three minutes by the chairman
 | He stated that he was interested in the meeting because of the prohibition fight in Texas and said that Birmingham ap- peared to him much better than under saloon conditions. He concluded by max ing a contribution to the campaign fund the meeting adjourned without setting the date of next meeting.

VIEWS ON LOCAL OPTION

saloon as the best solution of the liquor question:, said Victor Torina. Many hardships have been imposed on the people by the drastic measures of the search and seizure law.
 "I recall an incident that happened to friend of mine whose house was searched by a special officer. A small quantity of wine was found and al- though the owner insisted it was for his own personal use he was taken to the court and convicted on the tes- timony of the man who made the search Since that time the special officer has been convicted of a serious offense and the trial judge has re- mitted the fine against my friend. This js only one incident, there may be oth- CTS. I shall vote for the legalized sa loon as I believe 1t will be the means of stopping such unjust proceedings.
 'I am strongly in favor. of the liquor traffic being controlled by law" said NJ l. Gregg. Under the present con ditions. despite the efforts of the au- thorities, city and county. the law is be- ing violated to a greater or less ex- tent and all efforts seem unavailing to prevent it. do not think prohibition has been a success and am convinced that a change would be beneficial.
 "The high license saloon with strict regulation will do much to break up the blind tiger evil and bring back a much better condition in the city. l shall vote for the legal sale of liquor as being much preferable to the illegal system that now prevails"
