From Clerk Nugent

The above communication was orig
inally sent to the Star as an anony-
nous communication, signed Jim
Jackson, and the Star refused to pub
lish it. An examination of Joe Bells
docket showed the name of Jim Jack
son, colored man, written in Bells
own hand in his docket when Judge
and comparison of handwriting
showed that Bell was the author of
the anonymous communication. To-
day asked him to sign the commune
cation with his own name and he did
so.
/ want to say first that I have
never promised Frank Adams to vote
for him nor have I made Galloway
any promises. / have simply stayed
out of the Adams-Galloway and the
Catts-Knott fight and attended quiet
ly to the work of the clerks Office.
Everybody knows that / made clean
fight for the clerks office and won o1sN
and it affords me pleasure to believe
that l won out without the help of
Judge Bell.
Judge Bell does not know what he
will be after Nov. 7th. / do; 1 will
be Nov. 7th, and after Nov. 7th,
democrat who never in his life voted
against any nominee of a democratic
primary or convention, nor even
scratched one. In the primary elec-
tion I voted for Hudson and for Far
ris, and have no apology to make.
When Mr.. Cats was declared the
nominee I accepted him fully as the
party nominee and made one contri-
button, and one only, to his campaign
fund, when he was absolutely the
nominee and before there had been
any recount. / have refused to get
mixed up in any Cats Knott fight,
believing that men like Bell, whose
democracy in my opinion depends al
most wholly upon whether they or
their friends are elected to Office,
were simply trying to find some ex-
cuse to make fight against me, in
the face of the fact that they knew
that was the certain nominee Of
primary in which they took part and
by which every clean man should be
honorably bound.
Now every man is entitled to his
own opinion and the gentleman has
stated his opinion and belief as ex-
pressed in his communication but if
my own democracy was as uncertain
as believe Judge Bells, on a state
ment over his own signature, think
that l would flock with July Brown.
Respectfully, P. II. Nugent.

policy, his needless invasion of Mexico,

who will naturally vote for Hughes on
the square-toed issue of protection,
Furthermore, they find considerable
measure of confirmation of their view
in the spectacular efforts of the Demo-
crath to preempt a small corner on the
protection band-wagon, Mr.. Wilson's
eleventh hour conversion to the crea-
ton of a tariff board etc. In due time,
the Republican orators will make a
drive on the tariff, accompanying their
arguments with analyses of the Under
wood tariff bill and it's effects which,
they assert, will pretty nearly blow
their Democratic adverasries out of
the water.

2ls,OOO,OOO More Deacit-That the
Wilson administration is seeking to
suppress the fact that the deficit for
this fiscal year will be $245, 100000
larger than has ever been explained to
Congress or to the public is the con
viotion of those who have been study
ing the situation in the light of Sec
rotary McAdoo's own statements
Some time ago, before the prepared
ness bills were framed and before the
second invasion of Mexico, Mr.. Nc
Adoo went before the Ways and Means
committee and stated that, allowing
500 900, 900 for the increase of the
preparedness appropriations, II would
be necessary to raise by special taxes
$3.50 100000 The preparedness bills
have now been framed and they ex-
coed those of last year by $994,000,000
in round numbers 100000. 900. This
includes the Sal 1000, 900 deficiency APP
preparation for the Mexican militia
mobilization, etc. Adding the $780,
100000 excess over the. McAdoo pre-
paredness estimate to the $15O,OO0,-
600 deficit on which McAdoo then
counted, the total amounts to $780,
100000. The special taxes imposed
in the pending revenue bill are to
raise $2O5. 100000 But where is the
remaining $245, 100000 to come from?
Not from the proposed $19O,000,0O0
bond sale, because the administration
clearly explains that that sum is sole
ly to cover the expenses of the Mexi-
can affair up to January l. 1t adds.
moreover, that if the militia is kept
on the border until June 80, next, an
additional $50 10000 900 will be needed.
But there has been no explanation of
how the administration purposes to
make good this deficit of $4,000, 900,
and the only possible conclusion is
that, after the election is over that
amount will be borrowed. by another
sale of bonds, making the bond sales
OF the Wilson administration 1915, 000,-
600 instead of $1SO,OOO,OOO, the voters
being kept in ignorance of this fact
until after the election. Either there
must be an additional bond sale to
raise the $245,OOO,OOO, or extraordinar-
lily burdensome taxes must be i'm
posed or. and that is hardly conceiv-
able, the now widely advertised pre-
paredness program is to be held up

Wilson Versus UnderwOOd-Pr
dent Wilson, writing to s. NJ. Hastings,
of the Illinois Manufacturers Associa-
ton on July 8, said, in part, ut ought
to be possible by such means 1.-THE
Tariff Commission created by the
Kitchen bilD to make the question of
duties merely question of progress
and development, question of adapt
ing means to ends, of facilitating and
helping business and employing to the
utmost the resources of the country
in a vast development of our business
resources" When this statement was
read on the floor of the House. Rep.
Kitchen emphatically denied that il
could have been written by the Presi-
dent, and denounced, il is straight Re-
publican, protection argument, but
when shown the Presidents signature,
by Rep. Longworth, Mr., Kitchen had
nothing further to say. Rep. Under
wood, the author of the Democratic
tariff bill, regards the proposed tariff
board as purely piece Of protection
machinery and has informed the Dem
ocratic caucus that he purposes vigor-
ously to oppose its creation He real
ICES that the only possible reason for
having a tariff board is in order that
1t may determine the difference be-
tween the cost Of production here and
abroad, as a guide to Congress, that 1t
may fix duties to equal that differ
ence. AS the Democratic party is OPP
posed to protection, he can perceive no
reason for the creation of a tariff
board. unless it be simply a piece of
political chicanery designed to steal
a Republican issue, and Mr. Under
wood is too Straightforward to stand
for that kind of politics. He believes
in standing on the Democratic plat
form which four years ago declared It |
to be "a fundamental principle OF the |
Democratic party that the Federal
Government, under the Constitution,
has no right or power to impose or
collect tariff duties except for the pur-
pose Of revenue" which this year re-
afiirms its belief in tariff for revenue

ton was made only after a storm of
popular indignation had swept over
the country. Credit for the extensive
program which has been adopted does
not belong to Woodrow Wilson or
Josephus Daniels, but to the American
people, who have made known their
disgust with the Wilson-D Daniels pea
nut naval policy in no uncertain tone,
and have actually made their wishes
regarding the navy felt through their
representatives in the two houses of
Congress. 1t is noteworthy, moreover,
that even at this late day many Demo

Tariif Still Charms-Reports from
the west indicate that whenever Gov.
Hughes touches upon the tariff and
states the Republican position his re-
markes are most enthusiastically re-
oeived. This confirms the view of the
Republican managers that majority
OF just about 1900, 900 of the voters in
this country believe in a protective
tariff. In 1912, II is recalled, the COM
bined Republican and Progressive vote
exceed that received by President Will
son by upwards of 100000. In that
election there were some Democrats
who voted the Progressive ticket, and
many Republicans who. being opposed
to Roosevelt and feeling Taft could not
win, voted for Wilson. But taking IL
all In all. the estimate of a million and

that all persons may know what

statement was an itemized statement

Mr.. Feagin said he would have felt
honor boud to redeem the obligations
personally had the amendment failed
of adoption, but believing the result
of the election has opened a way for
the general advancement of the state,
he urged all persons to aid him in
clearing up the obligation. "If l were
financially able, 1 would not hesitate
to donate the entire amount, 1 would

this step if ! felt that the amendment

far as l can see, no man or set of men
can claim the honor The victory was
one of right and of principle and was
due chiefly to the faithful and per-
sistent efforts of the right thinking
men and institutions throughout the
state, nor can the blessings which
have been won be capitalized by any
man.

Governor and Two Congress-

yelled itself red, white and blue in the
face tonight over the celebration of the
Wilson victory, and the arrival of Gov
ernor Henderson and Congressman
Blackmon and oliver to join In the festivi-
ties
Governor Henderson arrived from Bir-
mingham on the o'clock train, and was
met at the depot by a parade headed
by all the city and county officials, u
brass band a torchlight procession of
Red Men in full Indian dress, and the
Modern Woodmen in uniform. Whistles,
yells, autos sirens and blaring horns
greeted the governor. but this reception
was but a squeak beside the uproar In
the packed and damned Academy of
Music when he appeared on the stage.
Despite the cold weather half of Selma
was on the streets to witness the parade
and attend the reception at the academy.
Congressman Blackmon, the first speak
er, was followed by Congressman Oliver
and then the governor. Mayor Benish
was chairman and evoked uproarious ap-
plause by telling the crowd he had given
orders to the police to let them turn
loose for the night.
