GEN. JOHNSTON IS
 AGAINST MOUNTAIN
 MONUMENT PLAN
Writes That the Millions Proposed For the Stone Mountain Pro-
 ject Can Be Better Utilized
,.ro the Editor of The Age-Herald

STo the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I notice in the papers project on foot .to turn Stone mountain, near Atlanta into a monument to the Confederacy, and Ito enlist the United Daughters of the Con- ,federacy in raising s2,0oO000 to accom- plish it.
 As one of the surviving veterans, l lift alp my voice against the movement l cannot but honor the spirit that prompted it. and am sure that if we could convert all the mountains in the late Confederate states into monuments they would not be a memorial worthy of those who laid down their lives for the cause we loved and lost.
 But in view of the Restitution and in- expressable needs of suffering humanity in this great world war, aside from the fact that there are still surviving vet erans of the war who need help, is it right to pass by these perishing and needy ones to pay tribute to the dead heroes, how ever much we love and honor them? What would they say to it? What would our peerless chieftain and Christian lead CT Robert E. Lee. say to it?
 We are sure that out of the sweetness and tendernes of his loving heart he would point his fingers to the world of suf- fering women and children and would say minister unto these. Though he be dead, he yet speaketh. As one who knew him personally and loved him with a love passing the love of woman, I cannot but heed the call of his life in seking to op- pose this great and costly enterprise.
 would not give offense to the noble sentiment ot8our southern women in de- ,sring to honor those who gave their lives dor the cause, but in the face of the facts that now confront us it would be vain answer to the urgent calls for help that sounds in our ears daily from these war ring nations.

HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF IT

If the Anti-Saloon league or anyone else is making an effort to turn the democratic party into a nationwide prohibition party I have no Knowledge of it, and am not a party to it. If there is sue ha plan, those who have confided in the newspaper referred to and Senator Underwood have failed to take me into their confidence
 It would be foolish for the democratic party to become a prohibition party. Only one thing would be more foolish, and that would be to make the party liquor

 party. For 80 years the democratic plat form has steered clear of the liquor ques- tion There is no occasion for change of policy.
 Senator Underwood's premise for his opposition to me is therefore unfounded' lit follows that his conclusion must fall. In his letter he says: MT. Smith is and always has been fundamentally sound democrat. He will stand for the principles of his party under all circumstances and never betray them. I resent this unfair
 implication. It is unfair, not only to me. but to many thousands of prohibitionists in Alabama. I am the son of a Confed- crate colonel who fought for democracy during the days of reconstruction. I have never scratched democratic ticket. Since becoming of age, have served my party, not with the distinction of some, but as unselfshly and with as true devotion and with as little reward as any.
 I have been honored with party posi- tions from precincts to the national con vention. My voice has been heard on the democratic stump in Alabama at least as often as that of my distinguished attack CT. As a delegate at large to the Balti- more convention no question was raised as to my party loyalty, and l hold now in my files a personal letter from Senator CHueIWOOu tlidHhiI6 iHc lof iiy uutiii HIS efforts in his behalf. At the present time. by the votes of democrats in a Notly con tested primary, represent this district on the state democratic committee. In what way have I failed as democrat? Where
 in have I departed from the faith of my fathers? Can Senator Underwood. the Birmingham Age Herald, the Montgomery Advertiser or the Alabama Democrat and those who have consistently beat the bushes for candidate to oppose me and who endeavored after my announcemer rt to induce nine different men to qualify before my present opponent qualified, lay any indictment against my party record, my party service, my ability or my fitness to hold this party honor?
