SENATOR FRANK 5. WHITES PLATFORM
Broadest Americanism, Loyalty to the Flag
 And Support of President Wilson
As candidate in the democratic primary to sue ceed our late distinguished senator, John H. Bank head in the Senate of the United States, wish to N says

Tombigbee. Alabama and other rivers in Alabama. the deepening of the channel and improvement of harbor conditions at Mobile. Without sufficient depth of chan mel and harbor facilities at Mo bile. the vast commerce in coal, iron and steel can never reach the markets of the world. l favor the construction of a ship chan nel from Mobile to Pensacola. FEDERAL AID TO EDUCATION Illiteracv is menace to the nation and state. It is the sub stance on which bolshevism and anarchy fatten. I shall urge fed eral aid to supplement the under paid school teachers. Money spent in maintaining a large standing army can better be spent in affording increased com mon school facilities. l oppose compulsory military training. The time wasted in that way could be better spent in attending school.
 FEDERAL HEALTH
 DEPARTMENT
 I favor the establishment of a k federal health department with a, skilled physician at it's head as a cabinet officer. Public health is of paramount importance. The state cannot successfully combat contagious and infectious diseases and adequately safeguard public health.
 LABOR AND CAPITAL
 Labor and capital are mutually dependent Harmonious relations between them Is essential to the growth and prosperity of the na- tion. Each is essential to the others welfare. Divided, they are destructive; united. they are con- structive. Each has it's rights. which must be respected. Capital must be assured of profitable em- ployment Labor must not be treated as a commodity. Its right to organize is inherent and should not be denied; its right to collective bargaining cannot now be questioned. It must be given a fair wage and surrounded with proper living conditions.
 EXPULSION OF THE TURK
 FROM EUROPE, RESTORA-
 TION OF HOLY LAND
 TO ITS OWNERS
 I favor driving the Turk out of Europe. the restoration of Pales- tine to it's owners and the protec- tion of the Jews and Armenians from Turkish atrocities.
 PROHIBITION LAWS
 I. favor the preservation and full enforcement of the federal prohibition amendment, the act 1rx, stead act and the prohibition laws of the state. l shall oppose the manufacture or sale of wines and beer. The right to manufacture and sell them would be to annul the Eighteenth amendment and the national and state prohibition laws. it would be practical sur render of all that we have gained in our fight with liquor and it's advocates; 1t would enable the blind tiger and bootlegger to ply their trade at will defy public officers In the enforcement of prohibition laws. If. as one of my opponents. Governor O'Neal. contends, Congress can determine what is and what is not intoxicat- ing liquor. then it Is of first inn 
 senator in this race who will op- pose the enactment bv Congress of any law permitting the manu- facture or sale of liquor contain ing a greater pc, cent of alcohol than is now permitted by the laws of this state. The right of the state in this regard should be respected.
 rnVCV VrSJnN
 I submit to the democratic voters in the May primary my claims for nomination. assur- ing them that if nominated I shall continue to pursue the course which I have in the past, as a man. as a citizen. a senator and democrat. and assuring them of my gratitude for their support.
 I wish in conclusion, to remind you that I am seeking to fill the place in the Senate made vacant by the death of gallant Confed- crate soldier. Senator John H. Bankhead. the last one in the Senate. As a boy I served in the Confederate army with the daunt- less Wizard of the Saddle" Gen. Bedford Forrest. and if elected will tse the last Confederate sol- dier that can serve in that body.
