Candidates Here S
 The New Style

$ The Selma Times of August says:
 Judge R. l.. Bradley of Vernon, can didate for state treasurer, has struck a high note in his appeals to the peoT ie. Here is the way he speaks of his rival in the race:
 My only opponent is George Ellis, at Montgomery He is gentleman of the first water and if elected will make Il first class treasurer" Judge Bradley should be hailed as a pioneer of new school of politics.: also as scholar ard a gentleman His example as candi- date ought to have wide emulation. The rule is to belittle and besmirch and lie about ones opponents. It is all very nauseating to the better class of citizens who know that loud claims to-a monop- oly of virtue and consistency and ca pacity are always sham and a mock : cry. Hats off to Judge R. L. Bradley of Vernon. May his tribe increase!"

 PREDICTS EMMET ! JONES WILL WIN
with His Record as a Subordinate, What Will He Do With Full
 Authority? 2"

'sThe man who can point with pride to real results is the man who will wfn'' said J. Kirk Jackson yesterday.
 ''Emmet A. Jones, candidate for com. missioner of Agriculture and industries, is one man that enjoys the distinction of putting into successful operation many useful plans that have materially bene- fitted the farmer as well as the conner cial world. He is a man who knows how, and his achievements are apparent. Not only is he a practical farmer, but man skilled in the art of marketing farm products at a profit.
 some 10 years ago he operated ths celebrated Manning place, a plantation of 5000 acres or more, and by close ap- plication and the introduction of iln- proved tarm machinery for the cultiva- tion and harvesting of hay and grain, he demonstrated to the farmers in that section that it was profitable to, diver sify. Today the cane brake of Alabama IS noted for it's hay, grain and cattle
 ALABAMA LAND BOOK
 'As chief of the state markets bureau Mir. Jones published most valua 1le book known as The Alabama Land Book This publication portrayed the agricultural and industrial advantages of this state, and was sent broadcast throughout the United States, and in my judgment 1t has done much to in-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-08-11

crease the land values in Alabama. Only last week a part of the Manning place, 800 acres, sold for s50,000 At the time MT. Joncs operated this plantation tnis same land sold at sl7.5O per acre.
 ''The Aiatamal Markets Journal, pub lication originated by MT. Jones, was a most useful agency for placing the farmer in touch with buyers for his products. Tn this journal farm products were listed for sale by the farmer and copies were sent to merchants in thus and other states.
 PEANUT OIL INDUSTRY
 ''The people in the southeastern part of Alabama are specially indebted td MT. Jones for his activities in creating the peanut oil industry It was he wAd personally conducted the sale of the first carload of domestic peanut o1 i'll America, and by virtue of this sale, lie created an unlimited and profitable mar ket for al the peanuts grown in tnis state. Alabama today ranks first in the production of peanuts.
 His succe ssful introduction of the wonderful feed value of the velvet bean into the Flgin, H.. dairy district nas created an unlimited demand for more velvet bean meal than our mills are abe to supply aS present. The possibilities for a much larger industry are assured.
 PIG SKIN THEORY
 ''Nhen Ernmet Jones sprung his pig skin theory it was looked upon as a joke" but from a recent article in the Literary Digest and bulletin of the federal department of agriculture 1t would seen. that his idea of converting &, 100000 pig hides into leather has claimed the serious attention of not only our government, but the commercial world as well.
 Through the activities of MT. Jones, Alabama enjoys the distinction of being one of the very few states to have its agricultural and industrial advantages visualized in the unique form of mcv- ing pictures in $500 feet of clear finn. This moving picture has been shown m most of the states and Canada giving Alabama the greatest publicity.
 '1When on4 man can accomplish these wonderful achievements while holding subordinate state office, what will he accomplish as commissioner of agricut- ture of Alabama? This Is one candidate who does things of value, and for wha. he has already done I predict for htiu the largest majority that any commits : sioner of agriculture has been elected on

afternoon contained an excellent

Amiens for some time past; Mrs. Van

bad succeeded in Organizing their
work there satisfactorily. and accord
ing to lettere received from them by
by their friends in this country. were
evidently pleased with the results.
In commenting on the cablegram al
iuded to DR.. Hney is credited by the
Denver Times with saying:
Every four months they are en-
titled 10 one weeks holiday and they
were on the eve OF tnat date when
the message was sent. but We have no
means of knowing whether they had
taken their vacation at that time or
not. If stirring events were anticipat-
ed a, Amiens. il is safe to say that
neither OF them were absent from
their post of duty. The fact that the
cablegram came from Paris would
seem to indicate that they had left
Amiens before the big German drive
