GOVERNOR O'NEAL
 INVITED ID ATLANTA
WiIsOn-Marshall Club Wants Executive to Address
 Them Saturday

Montgomery, October 29.-tSpeciai) Governor O'Neal has received an in- vltation to deliver an address before tho Wilson and Marshall club of At lanta on next Saturday night, Novem- ber 2. The invitation came through W. J. Harris, chairman of the exec utiye committee of the state.
 Governor O'Neal has been absent Tn tho east for nearly three weeks on a speaking tour. and he is expected to arrive in Montgomery tomorrow. Whether or not he will be able to accept the invitation of the Wilson and Marshall club of Atlanta Is not known, though the information given out at the executive offices this morning was to the effect that he would probably do so. provided he is not too tired from his strenuous campaign of the last three weeks.
 Governor O'Neal's trip to Georgia in the interest of oscar w. Underwood several months ago won for the ex ecutive a large number of friends in that state and he has frequently ex- pressed himself as having been de- lighted with the cordial hospitality which he recieved on that occasion. It Is thought therefore. more than prob able that Governor O'Neal will accept the invitation to speak in Atlanta on next Saturday night. though nothing positive can be known on the sub ject until he returns from the east.

 ABOUT POLITICS

 By Hardware Dealers

J. D. Moore, president of the Moore & Handley Hardware company, has returned from Atlantic city. where he has been attending the joint convention of the National Hardware Manufacturers asso- citation and the National Retail Hardware Dealers association, which met in that city He states that the sentiment for Wilson was very marked among the dele gates wht came from every state in the union.
 MT Moore was president of the Retail Dealers association, and in his annual address before the convention referred to the probable change in the political com plexion of the government and the cleo tion of democratic president.
 After the convention had adjourned for the day, MT. Moore was eonversing with several delegates in the hotel lobby when a number of other gentlemen approached. They were republicans. and twitted him about injecting politics in his report He replied by stating that he had not the least doubt as to the outcome of the ap- preaching election and the success of the democratic ticket, and that his comments were timely.
 At the suggestion of one of the party straw vote was taken of the 12 gentle men who were present, with the result that seven votes were cast for Wilson and five for Taft, the "bull moose" not receiving a single vote. Of the votes for Wilson three were from Connecticut and the gentlemen from that state declared Wilson the winner One was from Min nesota, that delegate stating that he had always heretofore voted the republican ticket, but this time he would vote for Wilson, who, he declared, would carry the state by large majority. The others voting for Wilson were equally positive. Although the "bull moose" was shy on the straw vote, MT. Moore stated there were many Roosevelt adherents in the convention
 At the close of the joint meeting the delegates presented MT Moore with a handsome silver set as a mark of esteem and an appreciation of his services. The gentleman making the presentation speech referred to MT. Moore as the pol. itician," having reference to his address. The gentleman from Alabama replied by stating that he was not so known at home, but that if the delegates would carry home copies of his address they would find it much better reading after November than at that time.

Would Be Wrong Move

Another man who has been in the public eye for several years in Alabama and who is now a member of the legislature, said:
 T think it will be a wrong move. To attempt a centennial exposition and fail will be tenfold worse, than to do nothing at all. The public schools of this state are in need of too much money to ask for even a penny from the state treas ury There are thousands of iliterate children eager to secure an education in this state to better fit them for life and are temporarily denied because there Is no money. Alabama is great, but there are thipgs of such importance by which she could be made so much greater that I do not think 1t wise even if we could get 1t to spend two or three million dol lars in celebrating the centennial, two or three million which will go up in smoke, you might say, for at the conclusion of the exposition we would have nothing to show for it except memory of the cele- bration I cannot bring myself to be- lieye that Alabama is in such financial condition now nor will be for the next fifteen years, to spend so much money in such way.
 q say do it if we can. but not unless we know we can do 1t right
 Another man seen here today stated that he happened to know something about the Jamestown exposition that was held in Norfolk in 1908.
 ..It was a failure from the very start. he said. ''Six million dollars were ex- pended and aid was received from the state and national governments, as it was a national affair. The corporation which was formed to finance .he show went into bankruptcy and could not pay tteir bills The stockholders and officers are right now being sued by their credit tors in an attempt of the latter to collect some of their bills.
 such an exposition is big proposition to handle It is a tremendous responsi- bilty and unless done right should not be done at all"
