THE development of the Mobile

terday before the Exchange club.
This prosperity of the state de-
ponds largely upon the prosperity
of this district" said Mr.. Bowie. and
the reduction in freight rates. which
will naturally follow the development
of the port. will insure a greater
market for the products of this dis
trict. We have the largest river
system of any state in the union, and
products sent down these rivers to
the port will find ready market, as
large ships will be In waiting. 1t
Will be possible then for our coal
mines to operate continuously, giving
employment to our labor and steady
employment means prosperity for all.
I'VE are not asking for an increase
in taxes, but merely asking that the
voters give the legislature the au-
thority to issue bonds not exceeding
$4,000, 900 for the development and

developed will pay for itself"

by Bowie was indorsed by the club,
