 convinced that Mir. Cazalas should be removed from office, l would be com pelled to obey the governors mandate and would reluctantly but immediately comply with his order.
 Called Insinuati0n
 "The people know that the insinua- tion of Mir. Cazalas that bootleggers and law violators instigated the impe 2ch- ment proceedings against MT. Cazalas is false. The people have not forgot ten that Mir. Cazalas is the one who per- mitted wholesale violations of the pro- hibition law to the disgrace of the city and county of Mobile, and tie state of Alabama. The people have not forgot ten that MT. Cazalas had as his chief deputy sheriff in charge of the enforce ment of prohibition laws one, who has been convicted, of engaging, while serv- ing as such deputy, in 9 wholesale con spiracy to violate the prohibition laws. The people have not forgotten that the evidence showed that wholesale bootleg gers and professional gamblers signed note for the payment of large part of the Cazalas campaign fund.
 "The people will therefore not be surprised to know that no bootlegger or professional law violator has com plained to the attorney general against MT. Cazalas as sheriff.
 "No politician of Mobile county has ever spoken to the attorney general against Mir. Cazalas. No member of the United States attorneys office at Mo- bile or investigator connected there with caused or requested the attorney general to investigate the impeachment proceedings.
 Every one who has kept in touch with the situation in Mobile knows that the condition there was such as to demand action on the part of every of ficer charged with any duty to enforce law who had any respect for his oath of office.
 Propaganda Charged There has been a studied effort by propaganda to impress the people that Mir. Cazaas Is sought to be impeached upon charges of which he has been ex- onerated in the United States court I and that the lack of law enforcement in Mobile resulted from a failure of state law enforcement officers to work vEth Mir. Cazalas.
 MT. Cazalas was not tried in the United States court for neglect of his official duty. If he had been, he would have been convicted for the judge charged the jury in that case that MT CaZalas knew that the law was being violated, and that he did nothing tC prevent such violations.'
 AS to state law enforcement offi. cers working under MT. Cazalas, I ad vised the chief law enforcement officer l l1v tn narpaif hio fnrno fn reveal their plans to Mir. Cazalas be cause MT. Cazalas demanded that state law enforcement officers work under the control of his deputy who was reputed to be in the wholesale liquor business and who was afterwards convicted for wholesale conspiracy to violate sucb laws. MT. Cazalas was advised of this reason. It would be prosecution Oi public office to cooperate with such conditions.
 Tt will probably be of interest for | the public outside of Mobile to know that it is current rumOr that when local daily papers of Mobile county re fused to be controlled in the interest oi the liquor ring in Mobile that week. of giving favorable publicity to MT Cazalas and his associates. The editor of this paper is the reporter who is giving such favorable news space tC Mir. Cazalas' interviews and the propa ganda of the liquor ring against all who dare endeavor to enforce the prohibition laws.
 Regardless of the slanderous at tempt to discredit officers endeavorine to enforce these laws, that these laws might be nullified, I expect to use now and hereafter all of the official power I have to rid the splendid city of Mo bile of a un-American condition of law | leSsneSS"
