 Senator Judge yesterday issued signed statement concerning a speech made by MT Huddleston before the Alabama State Bar association, in which he quoted from the minutes of that organization as compiled by the official stenographic re- port of the proceedings. The statement is being generally distributed by Senator Judge In giving publicity to the speech of MT. Huddleston, MT. Judge said: 'In no political fight of mine can I be accused of engaging in personalities but the public utterances of public man who seeks legislative office should not pass
 unnoticed. MT. Huddleston, at a. meeting of the Alabama Bar association, in in dorsing a socialistic speech made by Clement Wood, used these words, which appear in the record of the bar associa- tion:
 "'By MT. Huddleston: There is an- other thing I would like to say. Our fathers back generation or two, de- clared that just government derived It's power from the consent of the governed. We have seen fit, in the application of that principle, which is the foundation stone of American independence, to say that government does not derive it's pow CTS from the consent of the governed, when the governed happened to be of a different race. We have repealed that political principle when we undertake to deal with the female portion of society. "'So I say it is unfortunate for the
 people of Alabama that they have denied
 the right of suffrage to so large part
 of our population. We have the negro
 here with us we cannot kill him, we
 cannot deport him, we have got to make
 him citizen. How are you going to
 do it so long as you deny him the right
 to vote? The right of manhood's express
 sion is the greatest incentive he can nave
 to make himself a man. I agree with
 MT. Wood Clement Wood) that the right
 of suffrage should be extended 1rrespec-
 tive of race and sex; irrespective of any
 thing save honesty and intelligence.
