tain localities. His reference to the suf-
frage proposition of which Huddleston Is
an avowed believer swept over the audi
ence like fire causing burst of per-
sistent applause. Mr.. Huddleston remains
ed through the attack placid composed
and evidently calm.
Mr.. King then said he was a local OPP
Zionist. He said that he believed in Mo-
bile county, Montgomery county and
other counties settling those problems
for themselves. He said that in the legis-
ature Brooks Lawrence told him he was
for local option and then came back later

Mr.. King. Whether he be Boss Lawrence
or Cousin Charles Lewis and l. declare to
you that no man who ever lived can boss
me in such an ISSUE
Mr.. King said that he would not dodge
that issue in this county confessedly dry,
but that he wanted to honestly inform
them how he stood on that as we'll as all
other questions.
He said that recently an unknown fe-
male voice called him up and inquired

Airs Huddleston's Views
Mr. King at this point raped George
Huddleston by asserting that the blond
candidate was in favor of woman's suf-
frage. Mr.. King vowed that he hoped
the time would never come when his
daughter would be a voter for any sher-
if and touch elbows with those that have

he very promptly told her that he would
vote everlastingly against such a PROPOSE
tlon.
Mr.. King assured the voters that he
would work for their interests; that he
would promote through federal aid the
establishment of demonstration agencies
In this district for the betterment of the
farmer. He paid a tribute to the vari-
GUS candidates who were opposing him
and ended his talk by saying:
MY friends, IL you don't elect me you
will overlook a mighty good man." His
last remarks were greeted with wide
spread laughter whereupon a great many
came forward and congratulated him.
1t Is stated that this county has so
far displayed very little interest in the

Record of the South

Born just after the war, most all the
time of my life our southern country has
been governed as an outlying province,
and has had only small share in deter
mining the policies and making the laws
of our federal government, or in holding
the federal offices. Before the war the
south contributed many great men to the
federal ernment-Presidents, great

congressman, both in the Senate and
House of Representatives, judges cabinet
officers and diplomatic representatives,
and earned the right to the trust and con-
fidence of all the people of the entire
country.
"Since the war we have four times
elected a democrat to the presidency.
First. Tilden, who was, through the cleo
toral commission, cheated out of that
great office.
Second, Cleveland, a northern demo-
crat, who served his first term without
having at any time a Congress democratic
in both branches. The republican party
had and maintained control if the Senate
all during his term.
Third, Cleveland again elected and
with him a democratic House and Sem
ate. But its leadership was not equal to
the emergency Our party enacted a poor
compromise tariff bill, the Wilson-Go
man bill which Cleveland would not af-
firmative1y approve, and only suffered it
to become law by his silence. And on
the money question, the party went badly
to pieces. This leadership came from
New York, West Virginia and Maryland.
The President, Mr.. Cleveland, being from
New York; Mr.. Wilson. the chairman Of
the ways and means committee. and au-
thor of the tariff bill, was from West Vlr-
ginia, and Mr.. German, the democratic
leader in the Senate, was from Maryland.
THE fourth time a democrat was
elected was the last presidential election,
and the President then elected was a ma
tive of Virginia, who had achieved the
most of his fame prior to his election in
New Jersey. He is making a great Pres
ident and our southern country has been
well recognized in the making of his cab
met. The House has been lead by our
own Oscar w. Underwood. This country
has never had more able leadership, nor
a more faithful public servant.
North Carolina has furnished the
chairman of the finance committee of the
Senate in the person of the Hon. Sem
ator Simmons. These have been the
leaders in the tariff legislation.
Virginia furnished the chairman of
the House committee on banking and
currency, Hon. Carter Glass of Vir-
ginia. and all the people are being con-
sidered in this legislation the farmers
as well as the strictly commercial busi-
ness. In the Senate. Oklahoma furnished
the leader on this banking legislation
Senator Owens.

He said that he always voted one or
the other side on every bill that came

The two speeches attracted wide atten-
ton among the people that had congre-

interest after the two candidates con-
cluded. Judge Blackwood who is hold

When he charged the grand jury he

BURNS SLEUTHS POSE
AS AUTOROBBERS
Obtain Evidence of Maladministration
Against Baltimore Police Which
Will Lead to Reorganization.

Baltimore, Nd, July Zone of the
"auto jacks" who for several months
have harassed the local police by stealing
automobiles, some of them from under
the shadow of Police Marshal Farnans
window, is none other than an operative
from the New York headquarters of the
w. ]. burns Detective Agency. brought
here with possibly seven more co-workers
to procure for the police board evidence
of negligence or maladministration on the
part .of the local force.
These eight New York sleuths have
been operating in Baltimore for nearly
three months, and some of the recent
robberies which have puzzled the police
were by them. In addition. there is still
a large number at work in the counties,
few of the subdivisions being excepted,
and they have secured a great deal of
evidence, much of it Photographic, which
will be submitted to Gov. Goldsborough.
The Burns men have violated the law,
it is claimed. have watched violations,
and have seen things which are ''un-
printable"
The veil of secrecy which has up until
this time shrouded the intentions of the
police board, II is believed, will be lifted
within a week. Then. it is said, COM
plete reorganization of the department
will be effected on the basis of the evil
dence procured by the Burns people.

action was to promise nothing, get as

not to tie up to a loser. and. above all
things. get him to drop the eight-hour
bill. Mulhali denied vehemently yester-
day in conversation with newspaper men
that he had double-crossed McComas.

This sentence from one Of Cushing s
letters to Mulhall regarding McComas
is Illuminating:
That might be a third leadership IN
some other direction. or II might even oe
deal with some one of the existing fac
tions, but evidently you could not AFFORD
to tie up to McComas until he was ce--
tain to quit a, the eight-hour bill. or
until after the 4th of March. and even
then, / should say. YOU would want to he
