Democracy and per. sonal liberty are not synonyms he said Democracy means that which is for the greatest good of the masses. Such, he said, is prohibition. He declared that next to the German beast liquor is the meanest foe to mankind. He declared iia Is through. with politics and has no in terest in ratification except for the good of the people

Huntsville, May .-(SpeciaI)-Judge Oscar Lewis, manager of the Wallace campaign for governor, and James Weatherly of Birmingham, Anti-Saloon league leader. met in joint debate today on the ratification of the proposed pro- hibition amendment to the federal consti- tuition. The debate was held in the Elks' theatre in the presence of fair crowd.
 Judge Lewis had the opening and clos ing. He was introduced by Lawrence Cooper of Huntsville.
 Prohibition is domestic question for each state to decide, he said, and this is no time to bring up local matters and divert the minds of the people when the fate of the nation is hanging in the bal ance. Prohibition has nothing to do with the question at issue. He said rati- fcation was the question, and this was one of the fundamental rights won for the people by ''the blood of our fathers.
