 up by a prominent local dentist to all dentists, a physician to all physicians, judge to all judges a school trustee to other trustees an insurance man to all insurance people, a merchant to mer- chants, editor to other editors, all the labor unions were lined up, even to the Undertaiers' union. High school and city school teachers.t Baptist and Methodist ministers in the whole state were writ ten to by their own members, and finally all the justices of the peace in the state had a fine and flowery letter from the local justice.
 There was no stone unturned, no class o1 citizens left out who was not persuaded or almost-to vote for MT. Brown. With each of these letters went card. the indorsement of the local and north Ala bama bars, sketch of MT. Brown and his picture and the local press comments. This vigorous campaign took at least six weeks of the hardest work. Mrs. Brown denied herself to all social functions, in which she was wont to lead.
 And so until the last blow was struck and the last voted counted, she stood at her post MT Brown left the entire cam paign and his bank book in her hands to employ all the help she needed. and he at tended to his large practice, and made few flying trips over the state to meet the people who had been deluged with the letters.
 As a final coup Mrs. Brown wrote every manager of elections, every newspaper in the state, had photo and a months two- inch advertisement of MT. Brown, and at the very last the daily paper made the last strong pull for thePcolonel. When the votes were counted she kept the tab, and when a wire from Montgomery said the opposition had won, she called again on the press correspondent and said "Why, Joe has won; that Montgomery correspondent doesn't know what he's talking about we have the news from each county but two, and Joe's in." And "Joe'' had won it later developed.
