The Real Journalist

A newspaper man is a newspaper

story, you must realize this patent
fact. and you must let it sink into
your Intelligence that writer's for
newspapers call themselves newspaper
men That Is their class name. Every
time person with an unnaturally en-
larged head and a brain that looks
like a peanut struck by blight pops
up and parades the streets accosting
people and introducing himself "a a
journalist, every real newspaper man
considers him lit for the receiving
ward Of some third.class lunatic asy'
lum.

the governor. "A great many of the most

JOHN H. WALLACE
MAKES ADDRESS
AT MONTGOMERY
Urges Local Taxation, Judi

Things
CONVICTS SHOULD BE
REMOVED FROM MINES
Gubernatorial Candidate Says He
Would Abolish Fee System Also.
Pays Respects to Conner in
No Uncertain Terms
By l.. &. RETTY

Montgomery, December 9.-(Special)
Advocating a system of judicial reform,
local taxation for the support of schools,
the removal of convicts from the mines,
the abolition of the fee system and urg-
ing local option, John H. Wallace, Jr.,
! candidate for governor. delivered a
speech at the Grand theatre here tonight
before a large audience.
! Mr.. Wallace was the first of the gu
bernatorial candidates to speak in Mont
gomery, and he made a good impression
| upon his audience. He was given liberal
applause during the course of his re-
marks, and his speech was one of the
best political addresses that has been
heard in this city.
| A large number of ladies' were in the
audience. and the boxes were filed with
| invited guests. The governor of Alabama
occupied one of the boxes and state and
city officials occupied seats in other boxes.
introduced by Commissioner
Mr.. Wallace was introduced by City
clared that Mr.. Wallace had done as
much for the state as any one of the
gubernatorial candidates Mr.. Mcintyre
referred to Mr.. Wallace's work for game
and forest preservation, and said his work
had been both constructive and upbuild-
ing.
The speaker of the evening began his
speech by declaring that none of the
newspapers of the state had lent their
influence in the advocacy of his candi-
dacy. He stated that he was not de-
tered by this fact: that he was a can
didate for the office of governor, and
that he was not running for the office
by proxy.
At the outset of his address Mr.. Wal
lace expressed his strong disapproval of
the political agitation which had stirred
the state in recent years. IF the peo-
pie of Alabama want to go forward -
he said. they must stop this political agi-
tation."
Favors Local Taxation
Mr.. Wallace declared for judicial re-
form and advocated new constitutional

convention. But one of his most impress
sive remarks had to do with local tax
alton for school purposes.
Ignorance is today the greatest mem
ace of the government and its institu-
tions' he said. II am the only candidate
in the race for governor who has advo-
Gated on every stump the principles of
local taxation
Mr.. Wallace declared that il he were
elected governor he would abolish the
back tax commissioners: that he would
improve the national guard organiza-
tions, and that he would look after the
farmers interests by establishing a sys-
tenn of rural credits He spoke at length
on the necessity of taking conyicts out
of the mines and putting them to work
on the public roads.
Would Place Convicts on Roads
THE plan I propose he declared, will
not only build good roads, but will build
good men. Should be elected governor
would see that every convict be re-
moved from the mines during the period
of my office" The speaker was frequently
interrupted by strong applause during
his reference to taking convicts from the
mines.
Mr.. Wallace declared for public utility
commission, to take the place of the rail-
road commission, with enlarged functions
ing child labor in the cotton mills of
the state, declaring that children should
not be put to work under the age of 10
years.
In his reference to local option Mr.
Wallace was given great applause. He
paid his respects to Mr.. Conner in no
uncertain terms, declaring that he had on
every occasion lodged the issue "Should
be elected governor 1 would endeavor
to have the principles of local option
incorporated in the democratic platform.
Should l have legislature that would
pass statewide prohibition BILL I would
veto it, so help me Cod
Mr.. Wallace said that railroad rates
were not an issue in the present cam
paign, although Mr.. Conner had made
them an issue. He tried to show the i'll
effects which would result from Conner s
election, and declared that he was de-
structive rather than constructive
DO you prefer a man for governor"
he asked in closing, who is construc-
tive statesman, or do you prefer man
who is a destructive Gemagogue?'
Mr.. Wallace spoke a little over an
hour, and was given close attention
throughout his speech. He had prob
ably 1000 in his audience.
