POOLE PRESENTS HIS.
ATTITUDE ON ISSUES.
Is a Prohibitionist, But
Thinks Extremes at Any
Time Are Dangerous

Cuba, December 27-(Special }
Leander Poole, well known citizen
of this place, is considering making
the race for lieutenant governor. He
has made public a card in which hi
sets out his platform
lie opens with an explanation that
he was Endorsed by the conference OF
the friends OF Captain Kolb held re-
Gently in Montgomery He then de-
elares his fervent allegiance to Captain
Kolb's campaign. In regard to certain
issues he says:
AT the outset l want it known that
1 am a prohibitionist. l regard the sa-
loon as an avenue of waste. But /
am fair enough to see that il a man
chooses to waste his money in liquor
drinking that he has a right to dc
So l do not believe that a resump-
tion of the fight would help the cause
for the ill starred amendment cam
paign should serve to remind us that
extremes are dangerous. The prohibi
ton question is one that must be set
tied by education.
LAS to railroads l honor the gentle
man sometimes mentioned as the great
est political leader the state ever sa "
for great deal of his work He has
undoubtedly done great service in the
adjustment of railroad rates and saved
money to the patrons of the railroads
but at the same time he has set the
precedent of employing special counsel
to do the attorney generals work and
the raid on the treasury bids fair &c
become of staggering proportions. This
distinguished political leader has ac-
complished the work he set out to do
and l do not think it wise to continue
to harrass and annoy those agencies OF
transportation that are SO essential to
Alabama.
Il stand square with Captain Kohl
for reorganization of our judiciary
system. 1 believe that we can save more
than 100000 per annum by such re-
organization. ] stand with him in the
effort he proposes to make for an eco
nomical administration.
Il know that the gentlemen who in
dorsed unanimously the writer for lieu
tenant governor may have acted has
lily and now regret it, but feel that
must address this through the press
and let future events take care OF
themselves.
Il am a poor man. Ny earthly pos
sessions would not exceed 10000
cannot hope TO cope with gentlemen
who are widely known and are reputeo
to have full barrels. But | can at least
say that / would not hesitate to meet
him anywhere in the state to discuss
the campaign, the only provision being
that there must be reservations made
for members of the w c. r. u. al
each place SO that my position on pro-
hibition can be surely and correctly
interpreted"

USED TO LOOK ALIKE

To look at a fashionably dressed
woman today it seems incredible to
think that 1900 years ago men and
women differed in their mode of
dressing in very small degree.
After the fall of the Roman empire
the sexes started about fair. Our
Teutonic ancestors adopted a cos
tune which was almost the same for
men and women, and consisted of
two main garments, the Roman tun-
lea and tOga. The tUnica was vir-
tUaDy a shirt with long sleeves and
was bUckled at the waist. The men
wore it reaching to the knees and
the women to the ankles. In colder
northern ATTITUDES the men as a
greater innovation added trousers,
but these were looked upon in the
light of distinct extra and were not
considered obligatory in the hotter
weather.
