 that is he has wonderful hypnotic pow CTS, or how else can you account fol l some of the men of sanity, intelligence
 and uprightness who are following himi
 think the kindest way to look upoE them is just to consider that in this election they have been politically hypno- | tized, but when George gets out of town they will come to themselves and be
 consciously ashamed for having stuck to him, in spite of the Presidents scathing l telegram. ... ..,s <. Yes. spent. some happy years, in
 France. I first went to Paris at the
 age of Is, and side by side with my 1 companions ina private school rsfin- 1 oloed the idea of, the great 'revanehe' the tlnel when France would win back ne stolen provinces of A1sace and
 lorraine. Thank God I expect to live | to see that day, and to make it dot1bly | glorious twill be blythe help of Amer ica, who,. after century, is paying pack long overdue debt to LaFayetts iana ms countrymen. Thank God France ls not pled white, but that the men l of France are fighting IiISe conoIrer ors, While the women with brave hearts are pack1ngs them up. France has found her soul and is marehing on to xic- tory. ~ss.. STUDIED IN GERMANY ,ns "It is true, as Mr.. Burrussz stated that studied lsin Germany. but truth fully can say I never liked the Ger man military kultur, philosophy. or theology, and for it's adtocracy I loathed it, for in Germany the state.is everything and the individual nothing. while in America the individual is the main thing and the government is ru~, in his interest and by the people. It seems that George got bit with some of the socialistic theories floating in the atmosphere of Prague. and that the virus is still in his blood. It is a pity that he did not stop by the Pas- teur Institute in Paris and get treat ment. If he had done this the phrase made in Germany might not have such a hold on him. N,e~I
 T have said over my signature that George Huddleston is a 1itbilitys sin war times but that he will be a real menace fin peace times. I now, repeat the statement to better explain my meaning. He has not hesitatedf flo try ana array class against classsin his speeches. He said it was as rtrh mans war but that the laboring mn would have to do the fighting. Iram thinking of Mortimer Jordan, the han py-hearted.s barefoot boy who used 10 'romp4 in the o1d8sJordan home which stood where the iTutwiler now stands. call him to mind later as a hi sh school lad, and then for awhile miss him as he studies at the. University Of Alabama. He then comes into sight again}at work on The Age-Herald. and then desire to be of service to his fellow man spurs him to fit himself to be a. physician.s A few years pass and he comes back home to practice. and then he marries the lovely daugh- ter of my old Eufaula friend, Zell Gaston.
 God is good to him and bIesses h5s nome With son and a daughter. TIqs nome IS a happy one, his practice is growing. it seems that he is destined Tor long and useful career. The long arm of the Kaiser reaches to America and war is declareda Every- body knew Mort Jordan would volun- teer He won a captaincy. and Sun- day afternoon word came that he died from wounds received in action; & we all Knew he would,s for he came ofaa fighting breed s,. -4
 TINGLE WITH SHAME
 ''It makes my blood jingle with. shame to know that congressman represent ing this loyal district in which the sons or rloh and poor are fighting side by side could have had it in his heart ito call it, rich mans war. It is not true m any way whatsoever, for you can call the roster of the old families who have l.ie'uo eAio City idTSely what It. 1S-the smiths, the Jordans, the Porters, the Walkers and many others furnished sons, or kin, for Uncle Sam. But while they were loyal the sons of workingmen were just as patriotic, and labor has borne its. full part in the volunteer as well as the draft
 1T believe that the shed blood of gal lant Capt. Mortimer Jordan is going to be the cement which will unite the men of loyal heart in this district to stand by the President and show to his dear old mother, his grief-stricken wife and his lovely children that he did not die in vain. And we will also think of the snuffing out of the life of the widows son, brave Ingraham. and the rest who have paid the full price,. and that we will go to the polls tomorrow and show to the world that this district is rep resented by democrat whose one idea is to beat Germany to her knees for Ter unspeakable infamies on land, sea and air"
 REASON FOR CHANGE
 Following the meeting yesterday after noon, another meeting was held at the First National Bank building, when speeches were made by Commissioner Burruss, Dr. A. J. Dickinson, candidate for Congress; Dr. J. 1T. Finder, J. Mercer Barnett and J. D. Truss, former city commissioner, WnO was untH a IeW 0ayS ago a very ardent supporter of Huddles- ton.
 T am a candidate for a state office myself, and I may lose votes By making this talk, I may turn all Huddlestcn men against me, but that makes no dn- ference to me. would rather be defeated and be with the President than to stand aloof from him or be- against him and win the race I am in now.''
 MT. Truss was loudly cheeredc by the 1000 or more citizens who heard him, and received congratulations upon his manly stand for the President. and many men in the audience shouted. Yes, ve stood for him when he made four blunderss but we. cant go that far. for if he failed his country four times. he may do 1t again"
 A band furnished music, for the meet ing last night. selections being played between each speech.
