 ton was overwhelmed by debt, MT.
 Kilby had taken the case in hand with
 the result that Anniston was soon
 officially reckoned the best governed
 small city in the United States. He next
 told of how Mir. Kilby, against great
 opposition, enforced the liquor laws in
 Anniston, closed gambling dens and
 bucket shops and made the city a model city in winch to live. He de- clared that the report of an audit of Anniston's books--that read the night before by Judge Brandon. and which had a tendency to disprove Kilby' claim as a business man-was delivered | to the Brandon camp by Joe Stat, tery of Anniston, who is Roman Cath. clio. He declared that MT. Kilby
 through three campaigns. had weath cred the storm which this report for a moment raised. and that Judge Bran don would find to his sorrow that tht l fourth would be weathered with equa' east and celerity.

"Plain Biip' Brandon stands flatfooted. unequivocal for no single thing, and for a little man is the most magnificent straddler since the dawn of civilization.
 That expresses the keynote of the ora tory last night at the Jefferson theatre in the interest of Thomas E. Kilby, can- didate for governor. Despite the in element weather, which forced an aban- donment of Capitol park at the last rno- ment previous to the time of beginning. a large audience greeted the Anniston man. In addition to MT.

 At this juncture a man climbed upon a mailbox and jeered at the speaker when MT.

TWO BUSINESS MEN
 ARE BEING URGED

Both the amendment and the anti amendent forces in Jefferson county have prepared slates of candidates for
 the legislature and these states have
 been extensively advertised.
 Without disparagement of the men selected on these states some of Bir-
 mingham's best known business men have pointed out that some of her ablest citizens who are candidates have been omitted from the states. One of the most notable cases is that of John |B. Weakley. MT. Weak1ey is in favor of the amendment. But he is regarded as one of the most capable business men and one of the ablest legislators Jeff ferson county ever had in Montgomery. As chairman of the finance and taxation committee of the last legislature he had much to do with pulling the state out of the financial hole in which it found itself
 Another man to whom business mon are pointing is Augustus Benners. MT. Benners is one of the best lawyers in the county and has legislative experi-
 ence. He was at one time prominently mentioned for speaker of the house. MT. Benners is opposed to the amendment
 Business men are pointing out that
 the county really needs the service of these two men in the legislature re- gardless of slates, because of the value they will be in solving other problems
 which are to arise when the amendment issue Is disposed of.

The Huddleston crowd has accused us of resorting to dirty politics, salo Frank Willis Barnett in speech ir front of the First National Bank build- ing yesterday evening about 6:So o'clock, when he spoke to crowd es- timated at 2000, though it was driz- zling rain, "and I want to say right here that we are fighting for Wood row Wilson, and any man who says that Woodrow Wilson is capable of dirty politics is coward, pro-Ger- community"
 MT. Barnett was introduced by Henry Page Burruss, commissioner of public improvements of Birmingham, Mir. Bur russ making a few remarks anent the present campaign, in which the Patrl- otic League of Jefferson county is er- deay bring to elect a successor to George Huddleston, whom President Wilson says is "in every way an op- ponent of the administration"
 Mir. Barnett and Commissioner Bur russ had just spoken at the corner of Third avenue and Nineteenth street, and upon arrival at the First National bank in Robert w. Ewing's car thsy immediately attracted the attention of a large crowd of pedestrians.
 About half a dozen Huddleston men were in the crowd and they failed ut terly in their attempt to stop the fiery "parson" in his onslaught on Huddles- tons record. He tore 1t to pieces, re- gardless of the hooting and jeering of the Huddlesttonites. One man jumped upon the fender of the speakers car and Haunted photo of Huddleston in his face. Quick as a flash MT Barnett produced photograph of President Wilson and exhibited 1t, saying:
 This is the man I am fighting for; this is the one who we are standing by and the one we are going to stand by to the finish. The kind of men who are jeering at me would applaud the sinking of another Lusitania, and I say

 day, and in unmistakable terms declared his attitude thereto. He attacked ths
 platform of each of his rival candidates
 and ridiculed the alleged half. f.hesitani
 manner with which Judge Brandon has assumed position on the various points
 at issue.
 BRANDON'S ATTITUDE MT. Kilby discussed Judge Brandon as
 prohibitionist, as a friend of labo- and as a true American. He declared
 that the Tuscaloosa man declared him self a prohibitionist of prohibitionists.
 but an opponent of the constitutional amendment; that while he opposed the amendment he had chosen Judge Foster. an advocate of the amendment. to man age his campaign. Further to illustrate his point that Judge Brandon has strad dled, MT kilby said:
 "Is Judge Brandon a prohibitionist? In 1909 he stumped the state against the prohibition amendment proposed to tho state constitution. Later he managed the campaign of the liquor candidate for Congress from the Sixth district against thdl STedt PTonlpftioniSt, r. r. IiopSCH. And then the newspapers discussed h;m as the possible local option candidate for governor, and Judge Brandon did not declare lthat the newspapers had classi- fled him in the wrong column. Not long before he announced, a reporter for the Montgomery Advertiser asked him whether or not he woud declare for local option. He replied that his platform would be satisfactory to all. He was then contemplating straddle, a hybrid. affair by means of which he hoped to get them coming and going

GOVERNOR O'NEAL's METHOD

Before continuing his effort to prove Judge Brandon straddler, MT. kilby took time at this juncture to declare that Governor ONeal had had something to do with the legislature in 1s11.
 "The legislature, or rather the senate, at that tin,e was closely divided" he said Two senators who had sat witr prohibtionists in all their conferences. went over to the side of the local option
 sts. The trick was turned through the gift of office and the promise of office. The prohibition laws were revoked and local option established as the set policy of the state"
 Another significant utterance of Mir. Kilby concerned .'the humiliation which Judge Foster must feel when he differs with the candidate whose campaign ne manages on the real issue of the cani- paign." Continuing, he said: Should ths time ever come when my campaign man ager and l differ on the fundamental issue, the manager will either retire from.
 the management or I will retire frotd the candidacy" The speaker then renewed his argL- ment to the effect that Judge Bran don would not remain hitched.
 CITES SOME EXAMPLES For instance" he said, Judge Bran don in Mobile, where the Catholic vote is strong, is pro-Catholic, and in Jef- ferson, where True Amerimanism ana patriotism prevail, he Is anti-Catholic. l In Mobile, he spoke from platform on which Pat Lyons and other prominent l Catholics sat applauding his sentl- l ments.

AS FIXED POLICY

He discussed prohibition not only as
 the fixed policy of the state. not only
 as the great reliever of all ills to whic.,
 the flesh is heir. but as . possession which required constant watching. IL was his contention that the amendment did not endanger state rights, or the right of a state to govern itself. He declared that argument to the effect that it was undemocratic was ridicu-
 lous. He swore allegiance to the pro- hibition cause, and expressed a de- terminatio to work for that cause as long as he lived. He charged the at tempt to defeat the amendment was simply an attempt on tho part of local optionists to restore the saloon to the state of Alabama.
 Throughout his address he seldom, l raised his voice above the tone used l in ordinary conversation, and yet was | distinctly heard by everyone in ths audience. He was given close atten- tion, and was frequently interrupted l by applause.
 AYERS MAKES HAPPY TALK l Harry Ayers made highly humor- GUS, entertaining and clever speech. II. compiled the campaign jokes of other ages and applied them with aptitude to Judge Brandon. His jokes. while pro-
 vocative of laughter, were as venera- ble as those related the night before by Judge Brandon. himself. One oi them was to the effect that Mir. Kilby,
 having been greeted by four Kilby men and one Teasley man, asked decrepi: , individual If he was for Brandon. This l decrepit individual replied, NO, I'm just sick naturally"
 He was clever in initiating the ora : torical mannerisms of the Tuscaloosa candidate. and one of hts stories ii- frustrated his contention that Judge Brandon was straddler. on both sides of the fence at the same time, anxious to agree with the man to whom at a particular time he was talking. and apt in learning the attitude of his audi tors before committing himself on any issue.
