Members of Alabama Dele
 gation State That Party Is United in Campaign
NO DISSENTION AT
 ST. LOUIS CONVENTION
Speech of Governor Glenn Masterpiece, Says Captain White, and Showed Fallacy of Criticism of Foreign
 Policy of President Wilson
"we will win with Wilson"

"we will win with Wilson"
 That is the slogan sounded by the Alabama delegates who have returned from St. Louis, where they attended the convention. National Committed man Edward D. Smith, who reached his home here yesterday, believes that the democratic party will be successful in electing the President, and that they will also retain control of the House and Senate. Senator Frank S. White is confident that Wilson will triumph over Hughes.
 The Birmingham and Alabama dele gates and alternates are unanimous 1n the opinion that the result of the con- vention and the actions taken by the delegates at St. Louis have greatly strengthened the cause. While believing that the fight will be hard one, all express the opinion that the party is in better position to meet the repub- licans now than it was before the con- vention.
 The hospitality of St. Louis and the entertainment given the delegates and visitors was a revelation to the Ala bama men. They declare that nothing like it has ever been attempted by any convention city In the past. There was a reception committee for every state delegation and the visitors were law ishly entertained, many being carried to private homes by members of the St. Louis committees
 REMARKABLE GATHERING
 While there was no dissention nor iorY p really a remarkable gathering" said B. D. Smith yesterday. "The speech of Governor Glynn was the greatest ever heard. It stirred the delegates in a way that few such gatherings have ever been moved. Senator James also made great spech. The address or Bryan in which he pladged his loyal support to the ticket had fine effect. In the entire history of our party, there has never been campaign when we presented such a united front.
 "The national committee has not yet outlined the plans for the campaign, but it is probable that we will be called to gather at Washington within the next week. The committeeman will then out line plans for the campaign and vigorous fight will be started. It is probable that an effort will be made to secure a campaign fund Of from s2,000,O0O to $2,250.000. It is believed that this sum can be raised, although the amount in the last campaign was only s1,5o0, ,OoO Of course it is expected that the republicans will have vastly larger fund than the democrats
 Senator Frank s. White, delegate from the state at large, declared that he thought before attending the con vention that the party would win, and that this conviction was greatly strengthened by the action of the dele gates, and the result of the meeting. "rhe party leaders are now confident of success" said Senator White. "Thd convention was the most harmonious in the history of the party, and in spite of the fact that there were no fights to arouse the delegates, there was a vast amount of spontaneous enthusi- asm. The speech of Governor Glynn was a masterpiece and sounded the keynote of the fight which democracy IS to make. All the other speeches were good, and the address of Bryan had fine effect and aroused much enthusiasm.
 DELEGATION HARMONIOUS
 ssThe organization of the Alabama del egation was entirely harmonious. The adoption of the woman suffrage plank was the best solution of the question, in my opinion. I was member of the platform committee and voted against the plank in committee, but when it be- came known that the President wanted 1t inserted, and when the majority re- port favored it. I, like most of the other delegates, voted for the plank
 Crawford Johnson, who was one o1 the delegates from the Ninth district believes that the democrats will be able to meet every argument advanced by the republicans. After attending the convention, I am convinced, as were practically all the other delegates, that Wilson is going to win,' said MT. John- son, "'The republicans of course have named strong man in Hughes, but the democrats will be able to handle hlm The only argument the republicans can hope to make capital out of against Will son is the matter of our foreign rela- tions. I believe that the speech of Gov ernor Glynn showed the fallacy of their contentious in this regard. think the outlook is most promising"
 Louis O. Davidson of Uniontown, one of the delegates from the Sixth district who stopped over in Birmingham yester- day, declared that the convention hao greatly advanced the cause of democ racy and he expects a splendid victory in November ''The convention was en- tirely harmonious, but it was also en- thusiastic' said MT. Davidson. The speech of Governor Glynn was probably the most striking address of the week and Senator James also presented ar able argument for the party. Bryan was given an enthusiastic reception when ht made his declaration in favor of th' President and called on all democrat: and progressiyes to line up for Wilson ir the campaign"

 Edgar l.. Clarkson. alternateJ delegate from the Sixth district, who spent yes terday here. said the entertainment ane hospitality of the people of St. Louis was the most striking thing of the week. The convention was a great sue cess and we all came away more thar ever confident of victory" said MT
