 Broken Up

Washington. August 6-Some 50 women attempting to stage a women's party demonstration against delay in the Senate in action on the woman suf- frage amendment were arrested by the police late today at Lafayette square opposite the White house
 The women, many of whom partici- pated in the banner-carrying demon- strations before the White House sev- eral months ago, sought to carry out a speech making programme without permits from the police. The police ap- peared With patrol wagons just as Miss Blanche McPherson of New York was beginning the first speech.
 There was little disorder and the round up was carried out almost before the crowd. which braved the excessive heat for the show, knew what was go- ing on.
 All of the women were released on bail for appearance tomorrow after they had been taken to a district police headquarters.

 VOTERS TO SPURN
 THE AMENDMENT
Addresses Large Audience in Mont gomery and Warns Against Re suits From Ratifying
 Measure

Montgomery, August 6.-(SpeciaI) ) Adoption of the prohibition and woman $ suffrage amendments to the constitution
 of the United States will place Alabama in the same position she was in dur ing the Civil war and will give to Con- gress the right to enforce the laws that should be enforced only by the state
 government, Senator oscar W. Under
 wood told an audience of 1000 at the Colonial theatre Monday night.
 Senator Underwood argued that law that was good for Alabama would not suit New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana. Louisiana, and other sta.eS that have voted down questions of closing saloons Adoption of the prohibition amendment in Alabama, he sad, Will De dlc,atinS to other states what they should do.
 MT Underwood was introduced by :. r. Mcintyre, one of the leading amend ment men in Montgomery county. On the stage were seated many prominent county officials and business men. The
 audience was made up chiefly of mel. Many soldiers from Camp Sheridan, who had heard of Alabama's Underwood sat through the address.
 | The senator's first words were of the war. Congress, he said, is preparing for a three-year war. When the United | States army is complete in France We will begin to drive the Germans across the Rhine and we will hear great deal | of the battle of the Rnine, he said. | The speaker said the southern states l should not force the northern states 10 | accept something they do not want and | when the remaining states get ready | for prohibition they will vote whisky out l He stressed the importance of each state
 in the union being permitted to govern ! itself in all matters of such magnitude I In closing his speech, which was loudly | applauded, Senator Underwood said ha came to Alabama to warn his people of the danger that will come from the adoption of the two amendments.

Law Enforcement An Issue In This Campaign
 For Governor

The issue of law enforcement must not be lost sight of ill this campaign. All Departments of the state should cooperate to this end and expense should be too great vindicate the majesty of the law. All men, high and low, rich and poor all corporations, big and small, and all combinations of whatever nature should be made to bow to the shrine of justice.
 As Mayor of Annison from 1905 to 1909, Tom Kilby gave example of law enforcement that attracted attcn ton all the state. He enforced the prohibition law when prohibition unpopular. He closed up the bucket shop and the gambling ens here He got justice for the people from the public utility corporations, administering equal justice to all men.
 As regards prohibitions it stands to that who has helped to put state wide prohibition in the stat and who enforced it under local option rule will be jealous in enforcing that law than of four who have always fought present laws, which forced them Klby feels personal interest in the laws he helped to make, and prohibition will be safe n Ala bama with him governor
 KILBY HAS NO AMBITION TO GO DOWN IN HIS TORY AS A PARDON GOVERNOR. HE WOULD NOT BLEASE-IZE ALABAMA, FOR WHEN THE PEOPLES MONEY IS SPENT TO CONVICT CRIMINALS THEY SHOULD SERVE THEIR SENTENCES, UNLESS NEW EVIDENCE IS DISCOVERED.
