7 ardorls Of ]. NJ. Brown
Are Scored By Slade
rTuscoeee Represortive Answers The "Kyard Writer

Columbus, Ga, Nov, 2l-Capt. Jas
j. Slade, representative from Musco-
gee in the lower house Of the gener-
al assembly, is not at all satisfied
with the last card" of former Gov
ernor Brown. He takes the special
exceptions to the references to the
pardon record of Governor Smith.
Captain Slade has issued the fol-
lowing card on the subject:
II there is one trait more promi-
nent than any other in the policy
and character of low order of tai
ent and politics it is that classic
habit, practiced by the thief, when
on run in a crowded street, to
take up the cry of Stop Thief"
shouting it louder than all the rest
to throw off the suspicion upon
another party.
That Immaculate ex-governor who
went out of state politics in June,
1911, as he said to cultivate his
farm and give the state a rest, says
in a heated aud flamboyant card
in the same spirit that made him
take the long-handled gOurd into
his Office at the capitol for the
country boys to drink out of, that
he thinks the two candidates at
present against him for governor
have neglected, kept silent as to
the most vital interest of the state
permitting it to suffer, because they
have not said word about pardon
Granting. The misuse of the par
doning power" The placing of the
executive office between the courts
and the criminal" then a whole
lot of bombastic fury about domes-
tic protection and property security
not regarded by his two opposing
candidates, discording those vital
Issues for a discussion of the prohi-
bition question.
He says, too, In the month pre-
ceeding my Inauguration, besides the
pardon of other felony convicts, 81
red handed murderers had been
set free by order of the executive"
Let's see what is his own record,
and when you see it you will Won
der that he cries, Stop Thief"
Right on after he was elected gov
ernor in one half his term, not to

investigate the other half, he par
doned Is, as he terms them, red
handed murderers.
But let's compare his whole
record on pardon and commuta-
tons:
First. Brown pargoned in two
years So red handed murderers,
So free under him. Second, of COM
mutations in his two years, these
were 2S0.
Governor Smith pardoned in all
the first year, II, in the second
year, ST. total 70; combinations,

Poor little innocent Joe. How
do those So red-handed murderers
compare with 58red-hand murderers.
Here, stop thief, see yours and
Smiths two years record, made
out and recorded by both of you,
yourselves.
The pardons and communication
granted will challenge the approval
of the prison commission by the
law-abiding and good citizens of
the state, and the card of the imma-
culate, ex-governor does him credit

PUT GROCERS ON
 DIFFERENT BASIS Old Association Will VOlun-
 tarily Disband  DECREE IS EXPECTED Contention Made By Government That Association Was Operating
 in Restraint of
 Trade

The negotiations between the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association and the United States department of justice for the former to grant voluntarily the plea of the government for a dissolution of that organization have terminated sue cessfully It was learned yesterday that a decree had already been written out, the attorneys had agreed upon it and that the United States court of appeals would officially place the decree upon record when the judges of that tribunal meet in New Orleans again.
 The decree was inspired by Gen. Luke Wright and Caruthers Ewing, attorneys for the association, and their efforts to have their clients confess judgment and permit the entering of decree is in line with three other efforts, one of them heinz put forth in Nashville some months ago The last was made in Washington recently.
 From what can be gathered the associa- ton will allow the petition of the gov ernment to be granted in that the as sociation must dissolve and cease oper- htlnR as IL was operated Wlltu tlle petl- ton was filed. The organization of the grocers under a charter more flexible will not, as a matter of course, be prohibited or resisted by the department of justice.
 The association was operated in re- straint of trade and in violation of the trust according to the contention of the United States government filed here soue months ago The dissolution of the AS sociation means in practical terms that the charter will be given up. fbe mem bers, as President McLaurn says, wilt continue to pursue their lofty purpose" unaffected.
 The entire litigation has been handled in a disinterested way and in Birming- ham, where the case had it's inception, there is little surprise at the suspected end. The entire litigation was begun here when a campaign was started against the high cost of living. Hinton c. Clabaugh contributed to that campaign and when he was alleged to have been forced out of business he started after the alleged association. He carried his complaints to Washington and a congressional commit tee heard him. The department of jus tice went to Investigating and prayer for the dissolution of the association fol- lowed.

 |NTOFULL DETAIL ON PROHIBITION Writes Letter Telling Why He Proposes to Vote : "Wet" Next Month CITES WINNIPEG AS
 SPLENDID EXAMPLE He Says Prohibition Drives Liquor Drinking Inward-"IntO the Very
 Vitals of the Social
 Organism"

Commissioner James Weatherly made public yesterday an inquiry he has re- ceived requesting of him further informa- tion as to his attitude on the prohibition question and his answer. The inquiry was made by government official whose name, it was stated, cannot be used on account of the governments drowning upon its employees being identified with local politics.
 The inquiry was in reference to state ment by MT. Weatherly that he abhorred liquor in all it's forms and that>it was an evil of the worst type, but that he would vote for regulation compared to pres ent conditions because 1t is the lesser of two evils.
 In his reply to the inquiry Mr Weather ly says, Prohibition drives liquor drink ing from the surface inward into the vitals of the social organism, where il

He produced the bills of lading all right but when the testimony of the of ficers was received, 1t developed that Bill had carried the goods and chattels aforesaid to a stable and the only oceu- pant being a COW, and the said COW not having had an academic education. and, therefore unable to sign the delivery slip, Bill found himself in statue quo,2 or in other words, in n of a fix
 The officers connected with Bailey and the goods in transit and the case was argued pro and con before Judge Black. The finding of the court was decidedly profit may have been prohi-for Judge Black pushed aside the bills of lading and other documentary evidence that Bill had submitted as testimony in his behalf, and in that gentle voice that sounds like summers zephyr to the police prosecutors, but rings like the clang of brazen cymbals to the unfortu- nate occupant of the inausitorial chair, q fine you s2oO" And it means pay up, make bond or go to jail.

BOOM UNDERWOOD
 SYSTEMATICALLY
Wilson Brown Thinks Other States Should Be Told of His
 Availability

| To the Editor of The Age-Herald. Your readers have been greatly pleased with the initiative taken by The Age Herald in presenting Oscar w. Under wood to the consideration of the Amer ieon people as a fit man for the exalt- ed position of President of the United States.
 The completeness of Mir. Underwood $ equipment for this high station needs no comment from Alabamians to Alabam- ians.
 The record of his long congressional life is one to which we can point with great pride.
 His achievement in cementing into harmonious whole the many opinions or the present democratic House was masterly effort in diplomacy.
 His superb grip upon great questions is marvellous.
 The fact that he was born and lives in the south is the only objection heard.
 How long, how long, will it be before the south comes into ss own?
 How long is it to be before the acci- dent of birth will cease to prohobit a southerner from aspiring to political preferment upon equal terms with men of other sections?
 Forty-fve years have passed since Ap- pomattox, and the one flag of this great nation is honored as highly and will be as lovingly defended by the sons of the south as by the sons of the north, east or the west
 Ii is time now for us to break away from this idea, and there could not be a stronger name than that of Underwood for the democrats of the nation to rally around
 The object of this article however, Is to suggest something practical.
 The state of Alabama will surely pre- sent his name and the delegates to the convention will be body and soul for his nomination.
 There should be created a central com mittee, which should commence now to build up sentiment in other states and inteligently show to the nation the kind of presidential timber this full grown man is buided of.
 A committee of this kind, headed by MT. E. K. Campbell, MT. Underwood's s lifelong friend, with such other names as his friends might indicate, should be raised at once.
 I feel it but right to say that I have not in any way discussed this with MT. Campbell but knowing his long friend ship for MT. Underwood, and his great ability as an organizer, his name pre- sented itself to my mind
 I sincerely hope something of this kind will be done, and there Is no agency to accomplish the desired result quite as effective as your newspaper, In whose columns the Underwood idea was first seen Yours truly.

WEAEHERLY WOULD FEEL MUCH HONORED
But Says That He Is Not a Candi- date for National Executive
 Committeeman

That he is not an applicant for any position political or otherwise. but that If his party wants him to serve as na- tional executive committeeman, he will feel honored, was the formal statement issued yesterday by Commissioner James Weatherly, who has been mentioned as a possible successor to the late Col. John w Tomlinson to that office.
 His statement follows:
 ''I don't want to be regarded as a can- ddate. I have never sought any kind of an office If I am deemed suitable and can be of any service to the party I would, of course, feel honored by the selection. I won't be disappointed if some other person is chosen, but I am like an old-time fire horse: When hear the gong sound I just naturally back into the shafts"
