dith, secretary of agriculture, who halls
from Des MONIES, Ia, is best equipped,
best qualified and best suited to the de-
mands OF the rank and file of the party
for a progressive candidate.
Mr.. Bryan's views have been disclosed
to leading Democrats with whom he has
recently been in informal conference
here. Curiously enough Mr.. Meredith
himself is not an aspirant for the nomi-
nation, but is an avowed supporter of
William G. McAdoo for whom he is try
ing to get the Iowa delegation.
But the Conmoner thinks the Wilson
load hangs too heavy around the neck
of Mr.. McAdoo and while he is personally
fond of the former secretary of the treas
ury and has high regard for his ability,
he thinks the son law argument would
be a difficult one to surmount in the cam
ipaign.
As for Attorney General Palmer Mr..
Bryan clfafes because of the Injunction
issued by Mr. Palmer against the coal
miners. The Commoner thinks the
Democrats should keep in the good
graces of labor and while he approves
heartily of Mr.. Palmer's prohibition
views, he doesn't think the attorney gen
eral can qualify as a friend of labor.
| To all the candidates on the list, Mr.
Bryan applies this test prohibition
woman suffrage. friendliness to labor
capacity for business administration and
recognition of the interests of the farm
er. Mr.. Meredith supplies all of these
qualities He ran for governor of Iowa
on dry ticket and is known as a cham
ipion OF prohibition, He has ardently
supported woman suffrage. He has tax

labor and was. appointed member Of

moreover, successful business man. He
is the editor and publisher of Successful
Farming" one of the largest farm period
icals in the country. He is a promoter
of other large business enterprises and
thinks in terms of business efficiency. He
fayors the league OF nations and has been
consistent supporter of President Will
son.
As a matter of fact Mr.. Meredith has
never taken himself seriously as presi-
Dental aspirant. Many of his friends
here, however, who are not inclined to
think he has much of a chance this
year even with Mr.. Bryans support say
he would make an excellent candidate
four years from now as he would by that
time have acquired an intimate knowl-
edge of government administration
| through his membership in the cabinet.
Mr.. Meredith is himself one of the
big four" in Iowas delegation to the
| Democratic convention at San Francisco.
While he has worked hard to have the
delegation go uninstructed. he is at the
same time eager to have Iowa support
ultimately the candidacy of William G.
| McAdoo on the floor of the convention.
Other members of the Iowa delegation
are trying to have lowa's delegates in

Palmer will begin the battle for an in

Meanwhile the attitude of William

himself is not likely to be a delegate to
the convention Nebraskans here insist
that there are more vets than drys in the
Democratic primaries in Nebraska and
that Senator Hitchcock and wet ticket
of delegates will win. This makes Mr.
Bryan all the more anxious to select a
leading dry from the neighboring state OF
Iowa to support. Whether he is a dele
gate or not, Mr.. Bryan is out to make
the Democratic convention dry. And
Edward T. Meredith is and has been d
pronounced advocate of prohibition fol
many years. So the spectacle presents
itself of former secretary of state il
the Wilson cabinet supporting for the
presidential nomination the secretary OF
agriculture as against the attorney gen
eral and a former secretary of the treas
ury in the same cabinet. Whatever The

BANK PRESIDENT IS ON STAND AT
 TRIAL OF RIDDLE
Identifies Large Number of Drafts Paid Through Bank, Credited to
 Savage Cotton Go.

Anniston. May 7.-(special.-w. H. Boynton. president of the Isabell Ma tional Bank of Talladega, testified among other things in the federal court late Thursday afternoon that D.. Henry Riddle has signed note for Slo,000 with A. M. and W. A. Savage, two other defendants in the sensa- tional case now being heard before Judge William l. Grubb on November 20. 1917. and that he countersigned all of the checks of the company until a month after the note had been paid on December S1 of the same year.
 President Boynton also identified a large number of drafts paid through his bank and credited to the account of the Savage Cotton Company during the period of their alleged crooked cotton dealing which has brought the seven defendants before the federal district court for trial under charges of con- spiracy and using the mails to defraud
 One of the interesting phases of the Thursday afternoon session came when H. T. Lamkin, formerly cotton broker al Charlotte, N. C., and through whose

 PIECES OF MAIL

All records were smashed by the amount of campaign mail passins through the local postoffice during the twenty-four hours ending at o'clock yesterday morning.
 During that time a total of between 25o, 900 and 300Ooo pieces of mail were han dled The greatest bulk of this mail was handled during the early part of Thurs- day night. At 8 o'clock yesterday morn- ing the last piece of the mail had gotten out of the office.
 Clerks worked all night to reduce the young mountain of cards and circulars which had poured in during the late af- ternoon and early evening Thursday.
 A large majority of the mail was got ten out before midnight

Lamkin identified several telegrams purporting to have been promises were made that the sender of the message was just ready to leave fer Charlotte in order to clear up the differences said to have existed be- tween the shippers and the brokers at that time.
 A lively and interesting tilt of ques- tioning occurred between Mir. Lamkin and Hugo Black, one of the attorneys representing MT. Riddle, the former cotton broker, answering several questions in detail, while the attorney tried to stop him and give hfm chance to ask another question. MT. Riddle prompted much of the question ing directed toward the bank president from his home town and asked of the former cotton broker whose own tes- timony showed that he was now work ing on a salary in New York city.
 The district attorneys objected when Attorney Black asked Mir. Lamkin of his connection with the Knight-Yancey case of Decatur, which attracted such wide attention several years ago, and the witness proceeded with an affirma- tive answer before the presiding judge could announce his decision on the ob lection.

 NO APPETITE
And Color Is Bad, Too-Mud- dy and Blotched. Know
 What the Trouble Is?
It Is Probably Your Blood
The Blood Is Often Sluggish in the Spring and Needs
 Purifying = Pepto-
 Mangan Will Help

The blood is life itself. and when your blood gets out of order, nothing seems right! You are blue, discour- aged and out-of-sorts. Food loses it's taste, and sleep does not seem to re- fresh you. You don't want to work and cannot have a good time.
 Then you say to yourself, Whats the matter with me, anyway" May he you think of your blood. and maybe you don't.
 Spring is here. And Spring. more than any otser season. is the time peo- pie suffer most from blood disorders. Sometimes it is just Spring Fever but conscientious, hard-working folks really suffer from Spring Fever.
 They drive themselves, and worry and fret--but get little done. Neither body nor mind will function properly till the blood has purged itself of the winter accumulation of poisons-till 1t gained its color and strength.
 Years ago people took sulphur and molasses in the Spring to help their blood. But nowadays. instead. they take Pepto-Mangan, nice-tasting. agreeable and quickly effective blood tonic. Pepto-Mangan Is approved by physicians everywhere. It has helped thousands of rundown, listless people get back their old-time vigor and en- thusiasm.
 Everyone in your family should take a good blood purifier and builder this Spring. Get Pepto- -Mangan today. Your druggist has it. in both liquid and tablet form. Ask for Gude's Pepto- Mangan and see that the name "Gude's" Is on the package.-Adv.

than liquor, andf said MT. O'Neal, on becoming governor, recommended the restoration of the saloon in Alabama.
 During this discussion a supporter of Senator Whitein the balcony cried, ''Hurrah for White" and proceeded to ignore the speaker while delivering an address himself for the senator. A po- hceman stopped his impromptu remarks. and the senator proceeded.
 Senator White took the time to make few remarks about MT. Heflin, say- ing he was taking the cerdit for 40-cent cotton and was absolutely ignoring the prior claim of Bill Boil Weevil
 In his rejoinder, Governor O'Neal de- clared that no convention was held in 1909, but that democratic convention was held in 1910 which went on record IS favoring local option and that he carried out his platform when he in- sisted that the rule of local option be restored.
 He also said Senator White had denied that he had received the indorsement of Dr. Brooks Lawrence. He recalled the Biblical story of Peter and the Lord, and likening it unto Senator White and Dr. Lawrence, said Senator White could now hear the call: Peter, Peter, don'e deny me now"
 Each candidate received great ap- plause as he brought point home, and the non-partisans were unable to de- termine whose supporters were pre- dominant in the audience.
 An agreement was made between the two candidates to conclude the cam paign with a joint debate at Opelika Saturday.

Considerable disappointment was evil denced in local athletic circles yes- terday when it was learned that due to clash between Sewanee athletic officials and the members of the track team the Tigers will not be represented in the track field meet to take place this afternoon. Another disappointment was caused when C. w. Streit, chair man of the athletic committee Of the B. A.

 It is alleged that some of the Se- vance track athletes broke training, and as a result the whole squad was disbanded, and the trip to Birmingham cancelled.

O'Neal Denounces Speech By Bryan

Montgomery, May 7.-(Special )-For- mer Governor Emmet O'Neal, candidate for United States Senate, short term. is- sued the following statement here to- night after seeing a report of the speech delivered by w. J. Bryan at Albany to- day:
 William Jennings Bryan paid agent of the Anti-Saloon League. according to his own confession, has been ordered into Alabama by his employers to defeat Oscar Underwood and myself for the United States Senate. This is made plain by his own first speech. The ap- pearance of Bryan in Alabama makes the issue clear. Facing defeat, the Anti Saloon League has ordered Bryan from Nebraska to continue his work of wreck ing the democratic party.
 The issue made by the appearance Of this hired speaker is whether the people of Alabama shall select their senators or whether these senators shall be picked for them by the representatives of the Anti-Saloon League. Bryan's purpose to wreck the democratic party at San Fran cisco has been openly avowed, in seeking the disloyal vote in Nebraska but his wrecking crew will be halted in the Ala bama primaries"

RUSHTON DEFENDS
 BUTTERM|LK FROM THE VOLSTEAD ACT
POkes Fun at O'Neal and Replies to Heflin on Cath
 Olic Convent Bill

Sheffield, May .-(SpeciaL) )-Scath- the O'Neal-White debates of the liquor question and scoring J. Thomas Heflin for his attack upon MT. Rushton In connection with the latter's appearance before legislative committee in con- nection with the inspection bill, Ray Rushton of Montgomery. short term Senate candidate, here tonight evoked much applause from a crowd of Shef- field citizens. Many were present from both Lauderda1e and Colbert coun- ties to hear the Montgomery man speak.
 Declaring that Governor O'Neal had asserted buttermiIk was prohibited under the Volstead act and that Cap tain White had not denied it, MT. Rush. ton said he would take a stand with Governor O'Neal in seeking to remove the restriction on buttermilk. Ills sarcasm drew vociferous applause.
 The prohibition amendment only sur renders to the general government the power to prohibit intoxicating liquors" he said, "and the power to regulate butter milk Is still left to the states, and I oppose any further usurpation of power on the part of the government. The gen. eral government has no right to deprive Governor O'Neal or any of his followers of the buttermiiK which neither cheers nor inebriates. It is a food. It is good for pigs, children and even old men. If what Governor O'Neal says is so, I don't see how Captain White and Tom Heffin can defend the Volstead act any longer. I am going to look into this matter. and if I find that the Volstead act has got any such provision in 1t, will take employment from somebody and we will have another test case and see if we can't get the courts to protect us in the few constitutional rights left to us. We will win, tco.
 q know the members of the supreme court and know that they drink butter milk, and I know that they judicially know that it is not an intoxicating li- quor Liquor we will give up. Buttermilk -neverl"
 Mir. Rushton took to task J. Thomas Heflin, who had attacked the Mont gomery man charging him with being friendly with Catholics and with hav- ing been employed by Catholic in- terests to fight the inspection bill be- fore the legislature.
 T merely made suggestion to the legislature which was adopted and which is now a part of the law and being enforced" said MT. Rushton. "Mr. Heflin could have easily verified that had he taken the trouble to do so. My effort to amend the bill so as to have woman inspector of female institutions was successful and Mrs. Bush, most estimable lady, is en- gagged in the work now"
 MT. Rushton will leave here early for Huntsville. He will end his campaign at Scottsboro Saturday. MT. Rushton addressed large crowds in Florence and Tuscumbia this after noon.

BRYAN SPEAKS AT

 2 ri.eA N.4;a.aI r.-L r,.,Ili-.

 Montgomery, May 7-(Special.) )-Wil- liam Jennings Bryan will deliver an ad- dress at the Montgomery courthouse Sun- day afternoon in the interest of the can- didates he is supporting for state, district and party offices. His friends here re- ceived information Friday that he would arrive Sunday about noon, would speak for one hour, and would catch a train at 3:2o o'clock for another appointment
 The decision to bring MT. Bryan into Alabama came at the eleventh hour of the democratic campaign. It is known that many of his friends urged him not to come to the state at this time, de- claring that the state should be left to make its own decisions, but other friends urged him to come and submit his reasons for favoring the election of prohibition candidates to all offices, es- pecially for the delegation to the national convention.
