The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-05-07

)72zfeQ OfQfeS SenQte ic Primary in August iuction campaigns, make the above announcement fly by the President in the vigorous prosecution of soldiers and sailors with the best equipment, the to make them effective and comfortable while ex- save land and homes from the beastly brutality
 Muscle Shoals
 In the Senate I worked for Muscle Shoals de- veopment. At my own expense I attended the that adopted Muscle Shoals as nitrate plant, there by eliminating all competition.
 Warrior Plant When the President selected the Warrior basin for steam nitrate plant, I urged its location at Iuscaloosa This plant would not have conflcted at all with Muscle Shoals. One to be operated by steam and the other by hydro-electric power.
 Lock 17
 While in the Senate I helped to pass the final appropriation for Lock IT.
 Convicts on the Public Roads
 As president of the Convict Improvement asso- citation worked actively to place the 5000 convcts of the state tk public highways and thereby se- cure their construction and maintenance without burdening the people with overtaxation The 5000 convcts would be worth s2,000, 900 year on the public roads and the convicts humanely treat ed. number of states as well as Jefferson county are successfully working convicts on tha road The death rate among the convcts in Jefferson county is less than half of what it is tho population worked last year there only five deaths. Sem ator Bankhead has never favored placing convicts on the public highways.
 Appropriations hy National Government
 for Public Highways
 favor appropriations by the national govern under the shackeford bill claimed to be uu1 the Bank head bill It was introduced in Congress by Rep resentatve Shackelford of Missouri. l Congression- 639.) 00' f"eS
 Prohibition
 stand for prohibition where I have always stood. Senator Bankhead has always opposed it. As late as January g. 1917 he voted to submit inc question to indscrminate vote in the District of Columbia, and when that was defeated, he voted against against prohibition in the District of Columbia. tCongressonal Record 64th Congress 2d session, Vol 54, pages 1l72-1173)
 Federal Prohibition Amendment
 Senator Bankhead voted to submit the federal amendment to the states for ratification Whether this means change in his position or bid for pro hibition yotes do not know: if the latter, it is eieyenth-hour repentance and will not be accepted eral amendment he has placed himself beyond the venton at Montgomery: Eve dsnounce @ " the pro- pro- posed amendment as treason to the party, as unconditional surrender of states rights" If it be treason" to the party, not those who voted to submit it traitors to the party? Can anti imendists denounce the ~treason' and embrace the 'traitor?" That's the question.
 l favor the ratification of the amendment: It makes prohibition prohibitve; it will preserve food for which people and allies are starv- ing; it will the manhood of the nation for which stand so much in need in this war; its adoption will remove from politics strife, division and bitterness.
 Labor and Capital
 I favor fair and liberal treatment alike to labor and capital.
 While in the Senate the records will show that was at my post of duty every day that the Senate was in session. If elected will be the last Con- federate soldier to serve in that body, and shall devote my entire time and talent to the discharge of the duties of the office and endeavor to reflect Wilson and his administration with fidelity and loyalty.
