Labor Day Address Consid- cred Virtual Announcement of Candidacy of World
 War Veteran
By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Herald 22I-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, September 5.-(Spe- cial.)-With speech which featured the Labor Day celebration in Mont gomery, Monday, Colonel Bibb Graves. World war veteran and for many years prominent in the states poli- tical circles, to all intents and pur- poses, fired the opening gun in his campaign to succeed Thomas E. Xiii by, as governor of Alabama. Colonel Graves has for some time past been candidate for gubernatorial honors. and though he has not yet formally announced that he will enter the race, old-timers, Monday were of the opin- ion that his speech here before union labor representatives, virtually con- stituted such an announcement.
 Colonel Graves himself when seen by newspaperman following his ad- dress and asked if his address did not mean that he was to become a candi- date for governor, did not deny it.. Just when his official announcement will be made is not known, but it is believed such an announcement
 
 Too Many IdIers
 In the course of his address, Colo Del Graves told those present that the people of the city and county oe Montgomery, the state and the nation have more idlers in office than they can support. They must be thinned to a stand,' he said. If you don't pull the suckers off the corn you. get nothing but nubbins at gathering time. These useless, oyerpaid states men must be put to work" To this statement he added; These useless statesmen must be put to work, be- cause their burden on the community is not only in the salary they draw but also in the fact that they are non producers and a dead weight on every real producer"
 MT. Graves, further on in his ad- dress also had this to say: Year after year we have sent men to this state house, all good fellows, but live wires that know exactly what their bunch wanted, that from time to time have : created this job and raised that salary until the office holders band wagon is sosloaded down with good fellow sriding it, that the team can hardly pull it'
 Too Much Thunder
 Stating that when family lives i' q house for long time it gets so esuttcred up with old plunder tha eheg we to go out doors to turn around, Mir. Graves declared. Ala bama has been keeping house over hundred years and has been ac- cuInulating poards, bureaus and settes ana etc, untYS this state house isn't e-s enough toN hois' cur plunder and we have had to go down and get rooms for some Of the osftciai family 10 live in. I claim the credit Of nuf- ting two bureaus in the junk bile when we abolished the bureau of sta tistics and the bureau of immigra ton and I would like to see a lot more of our bureaus and boards and settees pitched into the same juais
