JUDGE KELION To
SPEAK ON SUNDAY
Declares, However, That He
Will Not Speak Between
Huddleston and Hornady

Regarding The Age-Herald story of yes
of Blount county might be unable to fill
his speaking engagement at the Bijou
Sunday afternoon, the judge last night,
while a visitor to Birmingham, declared
that he would be present and give his
reasons for opposing the educational
amendment to the constitution.
He did state, however, that he had not
agreed to speak after Representative Hud-
dleston and before Commissioner Hor-
nady. In this respect. he said:
BY way of explanation / wish to say
that have not agreed to be 'sandwiched'
between the pro orators, and do not
believe the sense of fairness of the gen
tlemen will insist on putting me to any
disadvantage 1t has been my under
standing that / am to address a mass
meeting on the issues involved with ref
erence to the ratification of the tax
amendment, and just how the voters are
to receive any instruction or inforna-
ton that will enable them to determine
the merits or dement's of the proposition
by the 'raking' proposed, I am unable
to see.
Il will have no objection to answering
questions as to my associates in the fight
against the amendment and whatever
amusement the distinguished gentlemen
may be able to get out of that course
will be entirely all right am not
ashamed of my associates in this fight,
nor will 1t be unpleasant to me to read
out an itemized account of expenses borne
entirely by myself in conducting this cam
paign.
1t is very probable that I may con-
clude to interrogate these pro orators
about some matters in reference to the
conduct the "a mi or haf ic al, Or
conducted by the ratificationists. The au-
dience may get some incidental pleasure
out of their answers to these interroga-
tories"

MUSGROVE FAILS TO

REGARD TO POLITICS
Jasper Man Spends Day
With the Rev. Lawrence
Named on Anti-SalOOn
Board

l.. 3. Musgrove, whose pastime, ac-
cording to good natured critics, con-
sists in pitting r. p Hobson against all
corners, is mentioned as a probable cam
didate for governor.
There never has been a campaign in
Alabama in which the colonel failed
to receive a mention. But he has never
run. Perhaps he never will.
Said he yesterday in this regard
when | am asked if / will run | tell
story. John Boldly was on a trade
for pair of steers. The trade for
many long days hung fire. Finally l
told John to let the owner of the
steers know that he didn't want them.
John replied. Never tell a man you
don't want a thing; for perhaps he
would give it to you
Regarding politics in general Colonel
tIusgrove failed to commit himself"
He did confess that he had signed an
agreement to sing basso in the prohi-
bition chorus, Alabama is going
drier," by which he meant that he
had become a member of the head
quarters committee of the Alabama
Anti-Saloon league. When asked, how
ever, when next Captain Hobson would
be a candidate in Alabama, he shook
his head.
Il can't tell" he said. But the cap
tain is always ready"
The reporter then asked if he would
support Senator Bankhead in his CAM
p8fg for reelection.
Na this he replied:
Wen, the senator is my neighbor

State Receives $4,000 Since Novem-
Der 1, But Salaries of Employees
Drawing Over $10O Monthly
Still Held Up

Montgomery, November S.-(Special.)
In the event that the supreme court
should hold that the attorney generals
act carries no appropriation, it is point
ed out that the wheels of several of the
most important departments of the state
government might be clogged until the
situation, has been clarified. Among the
branches of the state government that
could be affected are the convict depart
ment, insurance department and the state
game and fish department
The appropriations for the expenses of
these departments are made quite SINH
lar to that for the attorney generals
department, being of an indefinite ma
ture, but it is claimed that they differ
from the latter in that their expenses
come out of their earnings, while the
attorney generals expenses are a direct
call on the state treasury.

STATE RECEIVES $4,000

Montgomery, November 3.-(Special)
Approximately $4,000 was certified into
the state treasury today by w. D. All
good, chief clerk to the auditor. OF this
sum SCI 900 was turned in by the convict
department, and the remaining $4,000 by
tax collectors and probate judges.
This makes a total of about $4,000 that
has been RENTED to the treasury since
November ! and helps little toward re-
lieving the depleted condition of the treas
ury. The ban placed on the payment of
salaries of 500 or more, however, has
not yet been lifted.
