As was the case on Friday, a long line of prospective voters were in waiting all during the day, and it was stated that numbers who had come to the courthouse to register went home rather than wait in line for their turn with the board.

 The candidates and their followers were active all day.

SM|THURGESF|RM STAND FOR LOCAL
 OPTION IN COUNTY
Says Every Voter Who Fa- vors the Principle Should Work for Business
 Mems Ticket

Frank W. Smith, chairman of the busi- ness mems committee, said last night that he wished to impress upon every voter who favors local option as against statewide prohibition to support the busi- ness mems ticket for the legislature Thomas J. Judge for the state senate, and Dr. E. P. Hogan F. R. Matthews, Henry U. Sims, Isadore Shapiro Matt H. Murphy, John w. O'Neill and Fred G. Moore for the lower house.
 "The statewide prohibitionists will SUD- port solidly the so-called peoples ticket, ' said Chairman Smith. "Our ticket is made up of thoroughly representative citizens stands for genuine local option in the broadest, fairest way. If the present law does not permit wet county to vote on the question, then we say it should be so amended that the majority of the voters in any county can determine this matter for themselves at the polls and not by legislative enactment.
 This is certainly local self govern ment-local option, pure Jeffersonian de- mocracy.
 "The business mems ticket is against statewide prohibition. It will oppose by every legitimate means every effort that will be made by the statewiders to nullify the present local option law under which the people of Jefferson county have de- clared by their votes at the polls for strict regulation. The people decided this ques- tion in 1911 for period of four years, and these men will resist any effort to defeat the will of the people by legis- lative act.
 Tt behooves all of us therefore, who wish to maintain the local option law to vote the entire business mems ticket"

FORD TRANSFERRED
 TO THE COUNTY JAIL

Eugene C. Ford, the young man arrested in Jasper Friday afternoon on the charge of grand larceny, was transferred to the county jail yesterday morning on war rant sworn out by Detectives R. G. Will Hams and Marshall Smith. At a late hour last night Ford had not made bond.

Atkins, an insurance brok- CT. It was this transaction that lead to the arrest of Ford at Jasper, where he had gone in an endeavor to escape the vigilance of local detectives.

B. Asbury Thompson GOES TO THE
 STATE SENATE

to do practical work for Jeffer- son county. As recognized authority on taxation, he will bend his energies to the amend ment of the tax laws of Ala bama so that each county will bear its fair burden of taxation and Jefferson county will no longer have to supply the de- 6ciencies of the state. MT. Thompson's experience, wis dom and tact make him the logical leader in the Senate for this all important movement.
 MT. Thompson's election also means legislation for the abol- ishment of government by ap- pointment-the election of all officers by the people and the elimination of all useless offices.
 "Put none but the true and the tried on guard.'
 Vote for the man of all men whom Jefferson county needs in the Senate at this time.

Hugo Black s Message To His Friends

We have fought a good fight; we have kept faith with the people; and victory is ours. Realizing that 1 am without the means that, is at the call of two of the candidates for solicitor, my friends have worked freely and faithfully to insure my election. My campaign committee is not composed of few capitalists or ring politicians, but of hundreds of men in every walk of life. l have not depended on an eleventh hour campaign. 1 have been directly to the people, looked them in the eye, and told them l wanted to be elected by them. The time has passed when the result of an election can be changed by the mere stroke of an editors pen, which after all ex presses the opinion of only one man. I have not sought the indorsement of any newspaper monied interest or lawless element l will be indebted to you alone for my election. A poll of the 5000 voters who have just regis tered showed 65 per cent for me.
 Reports from every part of the county indicate like result. MT. lief lin is still my only real opponent. Re member however, that I am depend Ing on your help Monday. We want a vote of confidence to show that the vast majority of the people of the county are in favor of law enforce ment and service. I will give you both. I can never repay you for your support except by my earnest, honest effort to serve you faithfully, and this [ shall ever strive to do.
 Sincerely,
 HUGO BLACK.
