EMPLOYERS ASKED
TO RESTORE JOBS

Movement Started by Tennessee Man.
ufacturers TO Care For the
Returning Soldiers.

The Tennessee Manufacturers AS
sociation at the beginning of the war
rendered it's offices and office force to
the Government to be used in any way
which its services might be needed.
For more than a year this association
has beeu actively engaged in war ac-
tivities anr has now undertaken the
question of letting retired soldiers and
sailors placed back in their former po-
sitions as fast as they are mustered
out of service. To this end, President
Edgerton and Secretary Gilbert are is
suing letters to the manufacturers
over the state urging them to get in
touch with their men at once and in
vite them to come back to the place
which they willingly gave up when
called into the service. In addition to
this, they are urging the manuractur-
ers to retain their present employees
as well. The letter which is is being
issued, is as follows:
"To the manufacturers of Tennes-
see."
THE ending of the war brings to the
manufacturers Of Tennessee many re-
sponsibilities and will in many ways
change their present method of doing
business. We feel confident, however,
every manufacturer in Tennessee will
measure IN to the responsibilities now
confronting them and will adjust their
business to a peace-time basis with as
little delay as possible. We want to
remind the manufacturers of Tennes-
see, of an opportunity for service
which many have already recognized
and which we trust every manufacture
err in the state will subscribe to, name
ly, to take back the men who ceased
their work to place their lives at the
disposal of the nation. From the large
number of letters which we have re-
ceived, we are confident a majority of

PROGRA AM For the Week Rsg SCI,

the manufacturers of Tennessee have
already taken this step but we hope
through this open letter to cause ev-
cry manufacturer to recognize this pa
triotic duty. The employees of Ten
nessee fully demonstrated their UNI
selfish loyalty to their Government
and will come back from the field of
battle with new sense OF RESPONSE
bility and will be a valuable adjunct
to the industrial life of this state.
while we are urging the manu-
facturers Of Tennessee to restore the
returned soldiers to their former
places, we want to call attention to
the fact that the man who kent the in
dustries running was likewise loyal
and patriotic and they too, deserve
recognition. We ask that the manu-
facturers not only find pace for the
men as they return, but to retain tho
men who were steady on the job dur
ing the job during the war. In doing
this, the manufacturers will to some
extent be paying debt of gratitude
to the men of two armies, both of
which were indispensable in the win
ming of the war
1--WE would ask that you get in touch
with your men even before they are
demobilized, and give them the assur-
ance that a place is awaiting them up
on their return. Likewise, give as
surance to your present employees that
they are to remain in your employ.

 Next Tuesday AMENDMENT HAS
 BEEN LEADING ISSUE Amendists Apparently United on Kilby for Governor, While Antis Are Split Among Other Four
 Men in the Race

Montgomery. August 10,-(Special) Alabama's political campaign of 1918 virtually came to a close at midnight Saturday after one of the quietest periods of activity ever preceding an election and on Tuesday the democratic voters of Alabama will select one of five men to be governor for the four years beginning the middle of January, and will select legislature which will ratify or reject the federal prohibition amendment.
 Until two weeks ago there was com paratively no interest in the election. Farmers and business men have been too much interested in the war and in an effort to support those who are backing the allied nations on the firing line to give much attention to politics By a gentlemen's agreement forced by the voters themselves, the candidates while carrying on their campaigns made no effort to attract attention from the serious affairs of the day brought on by the war.

AMENDMENT ISSUE

The ratification of the prohibition amendment has been the leading issue. Thomas E. Kilby of Anniston, lieuten- ant governor. has been the chosen can- ldidate of the amendists and the Ala opposed to the amendment have been split among four candidates, Charles B. Teasley, W. w. Brandon, John H. Wal lace, Jr.. and John Purifoy. These four men have blanks in their platforms op- posed to the amendment, while MT. Kill by has said he would do all in his pow CT to bring about the ratification of the amendment.
 Amendists claim to be united to a man in favor of the election of Mr. Kilby and anti-amedists admit that there is still a wide divergence of opin- ion among them as to which anti amendist should have their support. Mir. Wallace has fought the amendment from the time it became q serious reso- lution in Congress and throughout the campaign he has urged the election of legislature which will refuse to rati- fy it. His campaign committee has in- sisted that he was the logical man to represent those opposed to the amend ment and has charged that no other candidate has made a speech in opposi- tion to the amendment MT. Brandon and Mir. Teasley have made thorough campaigns and also have appealed for the anti-amendment votes. MT. Purifoy has remained in his office throughout the campaign and until this week made his campaign through the mails. His appeal also has been to anti -amendists In addition, he has asked the votes of Confederate soldiers and sons of Con- federate Sodiers

NO LINEUP POssIBLE

DuriHS the past month two Ala bama newspapers opposed to the amendment have attempted to center the anti amendment strength on MT Teasley but have failed. They have insisted that MT. Teasley was the best person to represent this faction, but they began this effort too late in the campaign Anti-amendists had already made their choice and there was no means of lining them up behind one man.
 Although appealing for anti-amendment votes, MT Brandon has insisted that the amendment was not an issue and has at- tempted to base his campaign on per- Sonal grounds. This was his strong point until an effort was made to line up the voters on the one issue as he was the best known man in the state His friends admit that he would stand an excellent chance of being nominated 1T the voters were to refuse to accept the amendment as the issue and would se- lect nominee on personal grounds How ever, 1t is known this cannot be done now and MT. Brandon must go into the election knowing that the issues of the campaign will be settled by the election of the candidate who has been most sue cessful in lining up the vote either for or against the amendment
 One report this week was that the anti amendists realizing that they could not win with MT. Teasley, would jump to MT. Brandon at the last moment close lhquiry was made in several sections of the state and it developed that this was not true and that the anti-amendment campaign committee would not attempt to project itself into the gubernatorial race. This leaves the campaign as it has been for several weeks--one amend
