nx HuGH Wi. RonERTs

They gathered at the park in belief that George Huddleston would deny that even though his country was at war with the most formidable military power of the world, he had steadfastly refused to aid in raising an army for the pros ecution of that war.
 Because MT. Huddleston did not deny did not even attempt to explain--and because he did attempt to obscure the entire situation with a general charge, shrieked madly above the applause of his peculiar following; They lie' those who had gathered in certainty that he would successfully and satisfactorily refute the evidence against him, were crestfallen throughout yesterday.
 He spoke of profteers but not his anti war course in Congress. He declared his opponents were fools and liars, but he did not specify or particularize. He crit icised those banded together in Jefferson county for reasons of patriotism, but did not speak uncivilly of the German Kaiser.

DID NOT EXPLAIN

MT. Huddleston, among his best friends, did not explain his abuse of the volun- teers, of the soldiers in the regular army, or of the system of conscription. He did not explain why he voted against the espionage bill which was framed for the purpose of expressing German spies; why he voted against the explosive bill which was framed for the purpose of American industries against German bomb throwers. He did not ex- plain his attempted interference with vital sections of the sabotage bill.
 He did not explain his language which had tendency to array labor against capital in the very moment when the gov yernment needed the hearty and enthu- siastic cooperation of it's every man. He did not explain his meaning when he charged that the leaders of conscription- and the President was one of these lead ers-were munition makers, profit hunt CTS, plupderers and nlalefactors of great wealth. everything and everybody save patriotic citizens cemented together by love of country

BRANDON SPEAKS ' ID BIG AUDIENCE AT CAPITOL PARK Replies to Attacks and Ap- pears Confident He Will
 Be Elected TIRED BUT FULL OF
 VIM AS SPEAKER Judge DeGraffenreid Says Race Is Between Brandon and Kilby and
 Criticizes Kilby's Busi-
 ness Record
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Judge w. W. Brandon of Tuscaloosa, candidate for governor addressed mag nificent audience at Capitol park lasr night in the interest of his candidacy. Though he was tired as a result of con stant campa igning, he managed in his own vigorous style to drive his thoughts home with an able punch In the audience was an enthusiastic contingent from Tuscaloosa, which in cheering and sing ing added to the jollity of the occasion. Judge Brandon was apparently confi- dent that he would be elected. He .e. trained from discussion of the issues either to prohibition or the constitutional amendment. He did declare, however, that the people had reached determina- tion to elect their own governor, and as a result send the dictator back to Ohio"
 He made vigorous defense of my good name," and was especially forteful in resenting the insinuation that the Catholics in Alabama had raised cam paign fund for the purpose of securing his election over Thomas F. Kilby.
 SOURCE OF FUND
 Any man" said he, who charges that I have conducted my campaign on money any dime of which was subscribed by sectarian institution, falsifies. I declare that the bulk of the money oN which 1 have fought this fight came in contribu. tons from the good folks of Tuscaloosa county, and the savings of the little woman who bears my name''
 He affirmed himself friend of labor, and deciared that if "I am elected gover- nor l want everybody to know that l stand for 1abor.' He declared the in. ducement of a newspaper, published across the Mississippi river, to attempt to deprive him of his good name, unfair and cowardly, He assailed MT. Kilby's record as business man, and as proof read from an auditors report on the financial condition of the city of Annis- ton following the incumbency of MT. kilby as mayor. He stated that he had been charged with being a poor man. ans exclaimed that if he was still poor after having been auditor for four years and probate judge of Tuscaloosa county for eight years, the people could know that at least he was an honest man.

Co OPERATION IN PALESTINE
Three Thousand Jews Have Success
lilly Combined to Fight the
High Cost of Living.

II is, therefore, with the keenest
pleasure that l hear of the success of
az experiment. on q small scale I'M.
der war conditions In Palestine, Nor
man HapgQod writes dn Leslie's. Since
1914 scarcity. disease, deprecated
currency, have combined to reduce the
Je eSish workers almost to starvation.
During the war a small group decided
to take the most immediate and effec-
tiTG step. About three years ago 450
workers formed a cooperative So
ciety in order to fight against the
rise in prices. Each worker contrib
uted 10 francs and with this capital
OF $500 francs the society began to
make its purchases. As a result the
members of the society were able to
purchase four times cheaper than the
ordinary public. This cooperation So
ciety, "Mashblr," embraces at pres
ent about 5000 persons and has a
budget of $1,000 francs. Their first
year of business showed profit. Dur
ing the second year robbery and
plunder by the Turks changed this
profit into loss. The third year has
now shown them again paying their
way. This society includes not only
workmen, but also teachers and clerks.
1t has applied to the commission for
credit of 10000 francs and for au-
thorization for one Of their group to
travel to Egypt to make purchases.
1t is, indeed, on a small scale COM
pared with the business l cited on
July 9, but the lesson is the same:
The strongest single answer to the
cost of living lies in cooperation.

GENERAL pERsAlno MODEST MAN

"All that General Pershmg wants
now is the success OF the American
boys In France, and to avoid, so far
as possible, any glory for himself"
declared James +. Pershing. brother
Of Americas leader In the field, in an
address delivered in Portland recently
in behalf Of the United War Work
drive. which opens November Ii. The
speaker paid tribute 70 the men in
the ranks, and gave his audience an
idea Of the high esteem In which the
boys are held by their commander.
He showed the importance Of war
work in this country as an imperative
necessity TO the victory Of the Allies
in the battles for Democracy, and
urged that no dimunitlon in speed be
allowed TO result through recent peace
proposals. Unqualified Endorsement
OF the United War Work drive was
voiced by Mr.. Pershing who is one Of
the leading authorities on conditions
now existing along the battlefront,
and he was especially desirous that
there be no relaxation OF efforts In
behalf Of the several war work funds

mediately II ID, said that every cent OF

This is the word OF leaders OF the
Embarrassing campaign and their ex-
PLANTATION is easily comprehended. In
tho first place. II has been officially
estimated that 1S months TO two years
must elapse before all the American
boys can be returned from foreign
soil There are the men OF many other

ties In Europe would plainly create
grave problems connected With the
care OF the men. Remove the great
motive which actuates every man at
the front today and throw him into
dull inactivity, with nothing much to
do but await his chance TO return to
home and loved ones, and the work OF
keeping him cheerful increases In mag.
nitude. The soldier welfare organiza.
