Good morning, neighbor. How

That is the question fully a million
residents Of this Ninth District are
expected to ask as they step into theil
usual polling places or some other
centrally located headquarters on the
opening Of the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign.
And the man behind the counter
will say after consulting his card in,

is looking to you this time for a loan
Of about $1,000"
And the good American purchaser
is relied upon to reply:
"All right, neighbor, that sounds
like a fair allotment to me. Just

far toward preparing for the anti-amend-
ment campaign. The questions are:
Will representative citizens assemble
at this time?
VIII plans made by the subcommittee
designated by Edward D. Smith meet
the approval of those who do gather for
the meeting?
Will the subcommittee succeed in keep
ing from the meeting an Endorsement Of
some candidate for governor
WANT AFFIRMATIVE ANSWERS
If the pilots of the anti-amendment
campaign can answer each question in
the affirmative they will have gone far
in organizing cohesive campaign COM
mittee. If they cannot, onlookers be-
lieve this state will see one of the great
est political breaks that has come to
Alabama in many years.
There is doubt that a proper organiza-
ton can be formed at the Montgomery
meeting April 4 because a great major
ity of the citizens who have taken in
terest in public affairs are busy with
their personal affairs, believing them to
be more important at this time than any
campaign. For this reason it is doubt
full that statewide meeting of repre-
sentative men can be obtained. This
does not mean that there will be no rep
resentative men here at the meeting, but
does mean that the representative men
will be few and far between, according
to present indications.
PEOPLE ARE BUSY
During the past weeks, the Montgomery
representative of The Age-Herald saw
letters from certain we'll known citi-
zens in which they stated that they
would like the best in the world to come
to Montgomery and take part in the
meeting, but could not do SO because
their personal interests demanded theii
attention. They said they were opposed
to the ratification of the amendment
and intended to fight it. but could not
devote any time to a campaign at this
