In The Heart of birmingham

office of governor OF this great state.
''You have in Mr.. Henderson as a can
didate, as 1 have shown, one whose gross
Inconsistency and pretended claims, unfit
him for the serious role of administrative
leadership.
you have in Mr.. Conner a candidate
whose past record as governor of this
state, is in itself a solemn warning why
he should never be made governor again.
Against this poverty of claim of these
three candidates, it is my privilege to
present some reasons why the people of
Alabama will find in my own candidacy
the means of serving the demands and
interests. that are fixed in the great re-
sponsibilities confronting us as a state
and people. The platform upon which
/ am pledged as a candidate makes re-
trenchment in the expenses of running
the state government it's first and fea
tured demand. We have never had in
all of our state history such an unneces-
sary and wanton display of eNtravagauces
in the conduct OF public office. The tax
payers of Alabama are the victims of
this mad lust for office, and if | am elect
ed governor my first executive act will
be directed to their relief in reducing the

Three Attorneys General
I'VE have three attorney generals whose
aggregate salaries amopnt to about $1,000,
supplemented by special staff of coun-
sci to the governor. whose pay is of un-
certain but abnormal amount to attend
to the legal business of the state. Fellow
citizens, many of You remember when
Alabama was served with a single attor-
ney general, and the office paying $500
per annum was not above the great legal
talent of such men and eminent lawyers
as Henry Clay Tompkins, Thomas N. Nc
Clelan and William l.. Martin. What do
we find in the growth ef our commons
wealth since the days Of these great law
yers, that has magnified our troubles
into a proportion which requires three
lawyers with a retinue Of special couu-
sci to serve Alabama In the supreme
court?
Il would that I could rest my dentln-
citation of official extravaganza with this
single proof of 1t. But what have we

CONFER TESTIFIES IN

In dealing with Ex-Governor Conner,
Captain Kolb's effort surpassed and
transcribed that of all other candidates.
He not only criticized in severest style
the official actions of the former gov
ernor, not only charged him with insin-
cerity and llypocrjcy in his present anti
railroad platform, but he called upon the
erstwhile chief executive to prove that

charges preferred last night. The speaker
then furnished the climax by charging
that each of his opponents had at

that it was only when they went beyond
what he had previously said was good,
that they got into such trouble that ex-

Captain Kolb gave excellent reasons

that this was the last opportunity to
elect Confederate soldier chief execu-
tive of this state. He pictured in splen-
did style and ornate sentences the fear

was repetition of his platform as here

option with the county as unit, but
stated that he would not hesitate to

farmers, more general education for the
masses, economy in appropriations. de-
