Chairman Forney Johnston OF the I'm

Captain Hobsons work OF the week and
lays emphasis on certain features of his
method of campaigning. His statement
is as follows:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
| notice in this mornings Age-Herald,
page ;, an article headed Strong Dele
gaticn Is Needed for Work in Next Leg
islature," and some comments thereon by
two gentlemen concerning whom we have
heard somewhat before. One of them is
now the financier of the present admins
tration and the other is the presiding
officer of the senate of the same admin
istration. 1t is rather amusing now to
find one of the beneficiaries of the late
slate and another of the promoters
of the same SLATE" protesting against
any kind of a prohibition slate.
Yes. sir, we want strong delegation
from jefferson county in the next legisla-
ture and we are going to have it. We
are also going to have a strong" gover-
nor but If am any forecaster of coming
events the present whisky aggregation,

the American Cities Railway company,
otherwise known as the Birmingham Rail
way, Light and Power company, is to
have precious little to do with nsning it.

plain people go about whistling, thinking

not doubt but that such meetings are be-
| ing held in Birmingham now and many
more will be held before the next legis-
lature is selected, and I want to serve
notice on that said coterie of gentlemen
that there are others also who will have
something to say in the matter, and
will farther say that l have appointed
myself as one of those who is to take
some interest in this matter and | desire
to serve notice on certain elements in
our community this early in the play
that the common people are not going to
stand for:
1. Any man to represent them " no has
had any connection with the present
gubernatoria administration.
2. Any man who represents a predatory
corporation or interest.
g. Any man or set of men who favor
making the tax burdens heavier on the
poor people and lighter on the rich and
powerful.
A. Any man who favored the 'job' put
up on the people when the right to elect
their city commissioners was taken away
from them.
3. Any man who favored such legisla-
ton as is contained in section 36-F of
the present revenue bill.
6. Any man who favored the caption of
the Smith liquor bill. which gives dry
counties the right TO vote wet, but which
refuses the wet counties the privilege OF
holding an election to vote dry.
And I wish further to say that you
have not heard the last of me yet. Re-

Unable to Find Telegram

Batavia, N. Y, January N.-After
searching through thousands of docu-
ments. Chester c. Platt wired former
Governor William Sulzer today that he
was unable to find a telegram Sulzer
said he received from George H. Mcclure
of Syracuse, in regard to state canal
contracts.
In explaining the message he sent to the
state canal board, asking delay in grant
ing contracts in which James c. Stewart
was interested, Sulzer said at the John
Doe investigation in New York that he
had received a message from Mcclure
urging him to take this action.
He was asked to produce the telegram
and requested Platt, his former secretary,
to get it from the files in his possession
and followed it to New York.
Mr.. Platt said he did not remember
having seen the telegram.
