SCHOLARLY SPEECH
 WINS FRIENDS FOR
 RUSHTON IN JASPER
Goes Into Detail In Discus sion of the Democratic Doctrine of States
 Rights

Jasper, April 19.-(SpeciaD. .-F FoIlowing Congressman Tom Heflin's speech this morning at the courthouse, Ray Rushton, of Montgomery, candidate for short term United States Senator, made a very scholarly speech of the old-time state rights democratic order.
 He was introduced by the chairman of the democratic executive committee, Judge B. w. Shepherd.
 MT. Rushton went into detailed ex- planation of what the two forms of gov ernment were. He made clear what he meant by state rights and showed how these rights might very easily be en- Icroached upon by the federal government. He stated that there were several amend ments to the federal constitution that he opposed, but that after they were adopt ed he said that he felt that any man offering for office as United States Sen ator should make up his mind to sup port them He went into discussion of what he meant in his platform by saying that he would support all amend ments that were legally adopted He said that the fifteenth amendment, in his opinion, was never legally adopted be- cause it would have been necessary for five southern states to have voted for it and he said that the legislatures of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi and other southern states were made up
 of carpet baggers. and he said that they were never any part of the citizen ship of the south, and that alone makes it illegal.
 He referred tosthe policy of one candi- date running on a light wine and beer platform and said that he was misleading the people because in this race there was no liquor issue in it. He said that he hoped that any man who tried to
 infect the liquor issue, either for or against whisky, would be defeated.
 Mir Rushton said that every opponent that none of them had done anything to way of lighter taxation. He said that while the boys were fighting, the war department had made %, new millionaires in the United States by awarding them contracts for war material and doing it in a shamefully wasteful manner. He said that not a man connected with con- gress had ever denied that this .had been done and not man would claim that he had tried to prevent it. He said that it was time some economy was being practiced and that the burden of taxa tion should be lifted from the people. He said that he opposed the present state system of taxation and told them it was unconstitutional In the main issues he favored the improvement of rivers and harbors and post offices and post roads and the curtailment .of expenses in op- erating the government.
 He said that he was plain lawyer and wanted to represent all the people and not any special interest. He said

committee followed the presentation of series of resolutions adopted by the Birmingham post Saturday night, in which the history of the controversy growing out of the proposed visit CT DeNalera to Birmingham was briefly re- viewed. The members of the commit tec who conferred with the governor for some time this afternoon in his of. flee in the capitol were William Rogers chairman: Judge Horace C WILKINSON and George Watkins. Mir. Rogers out lined the purpose of the visit of the Bir- mingham legion committee and Judge Wilkinson spoke at some length, going into the details concerning the Sim Fein agitation, their activities during the war. the visit of DeValera to the United States and the organized campaign for the fur therance of their plans throughout the country. The resolutions were presented by MT Watkins.
 Governor Kilby took the position that as chief executive of the state he had no right to declare Devalera or any other individual coming Into the state persona non grata so long as he com mitted no breach of the peace nor in any manner led him to beliey that such breach would be provoked
 The governor let it be known early in the discussion that he had no in- tention officially of recognizing Devalera or officially refusing to recognize the Sim Fein leader, inasmuch as the United States government had recognized no republic in Ireland, and DeVaiera so far as the American government was concerned had no standing save as an individual, his visit to this state being nothing more than that of any other man spreading some propaganda, the governor told the committee
 Declaring that the state department had been very delinquent in handling DeValera, Governor Kilby declared that
