SMTHWICK SPEAKS
AT BAKER TUESDAY
Candidates for County Offices Were
Also Heard at Meeting.

BAKER, April 26.-Over three hun
dred people crowded into the school
auditorium here Tuesday evening to
hear Congressman J. H. Smithwick
speak. From indications of the en-
thusiastic crowd it appeared to be one
hundred per cent Smithwick support
ers.
The speaker was introduced by w. E.
Moow, one of Bakers most distin-
guished ad leading citizens, who eulo-
gized Mr.. Smithwick for his terms al
ready spent in Washington. Mr..
Smithwick began by thanking the
voters of Baker for their loyal support
in previous elections and made men,
ton of the fact that this was his first
opportunity he had ever had to speak
in Baker Mr.. Smithwick said there
would be no mud singing" on his
part. He only wanted to repudiate
some of the charges made by his OPP
ponent, Mr.. Hancock, and throughout
his speech their was not one word of
disrespect toward him. Mr. Hancock
was cordially invited to Baker to join
in a joint debate with Mr.. Smithwick
but he did not show up. He met Mr..
Smithwick at Laurel Hill that after
noon and only shook his fists in Smith
wick's face and said he would beat
him, but refused to have fight of
brains with his challenger, Mr.. Smith
wick.
Along in his discourse Mr.. Smith
wick brought out that he was in favor
Of theTowner- Sterling bill, and ex-
planned the bill somewhat. He also
stressed the fact that he was bitterly
opposed to the Dyer anti-lynching
bill and voted against it. He emphat-
ically pleaded in favor of a soldier
bonus and said he wanted Muscle
Shoals developed because it meant
cheap fertilizer for farmers.
In his closing remarks he stressed
the fact that he was in office work
ing for his people back home and that
he has not missed a day being in his
office attending to the affairs of his
people a day since he went to Wash
ington except when he came home and
was out attending to departmental
business. Mr.. Snithwicks speech
lasted so minutes
The three candidates for sheriff, j.
NJ. Reynolds, and T. Holly and Sheriff
Steele made a few remarks pertaining
to the office they were seeking. Rich
ard Miller. w. II. (BiD Mapoles,
Mack Tyner, and Clyde Webb. made
known they were running for tax col
lector. Mr.. ]. A. Kierce and E. P
Ewing running for commissioner from
