LET ALABAMA UNITE AND WIN

As the spreading, shadow Of Scandal casts the various Republican officials into deeper gloom of trust betrayed, and as the people in chagrin and dismay behold the enshrouding of figure after figure in high office, it be- comes more and more apparent that the Re- publican party cannot clear its record nor rid itself of it's reproach in sufficient. degree to regain the public confidence between now and election time. As the days pass by with their revelations of public betrayal in high
 Republican position, the conclusion grows inevitable that this is Democratic year, and that the choice of party leadership becomes daily of more pressing significance and i'm portance. ts
 At this momentous period in party history Alabama occupies a position of peculiar stra- tegic influence. Alabama possesses a candi- date for the. presidential nomination whose
 strength has been steadily growing, and who now is a most outstanding figure in the pub
 lie eye. While all the disclosure of. official turpitude has been occurring, Oscar Under wood has been serenely going about among the people, giving expression to high ideals and high purpose, and has stood out. in sharply defined contrast against the dark
 background of the oil cloud. His words have met with the acclaim of multitudes, and the popular tide of favor in his behalf has been steadily rising. No other candidate would have a better chance of winning at the polls,
 and no other would be more feared by the Republicans themselves.
 On Tuesday the people of Alabama have it within their power to say whether this state shall present to the nation an obscure name,
 the utterance of which would be mere for
 this state shall amidst clamorous acclaim pre- sent the distinguished name of Oscar Under wood as a serious and powerful contender for the party nomination. The moment for
 Alabama is pregnant with tremendous possi- bilities. This state has the presidency almost within it's reach, for it has the Democratic nomination almost within it's grasp, which in this critical time is nearly tantamount to election. Only in one way can the people of Alabama realize this magnificent destiny. Only by giving complete and overwhelming support to that capable and experienced statesman of broad and enlightened public vision can Alabama step into that position of national leadership to which an upexcelled opportunity now invites her.
 Tuesdays vote shall tell the tale. By Tues days vote will the nation know whether Alabama takes her political responsibility seriously, or whether she will permit herself to be divided into conflicting and self-defeat- ing groups severed by consideration of lesser significance, or of deliberate, self-seeking po- litical contrivance. Shall Alabama start, a new line of presidents from the South, or shall Alabama choose to remain provincial? It is for the people to decide. The name and the fame and the destiny of the state are
 in their hands. They can divide and lose or they can unite in support of Oscar Un- derwood and stand the foremost chance of Which shall it be?

derwood forces are resorting to in this matter,
 We can't see how any ardent prohibitionist who has helped win the great battles of tenn perance in our state and nation with ,Un- derwood's influence and vote against him. can support him in this primary. We can't sec < how the women who have labored so long for the privilege of voting can support a man who fought them until the last. We do not see how the laboring man can support him. ' We can't see how the K. K. Ks can support him since he has needlessly criticized that order. Why is it such crime to vote for Mir. Musgrove? Is he not an Alabamian also? He is standing now where he has always stood, for temperance, woman suf- to the farmer and the laboring man. We are still freemen; let us vote as we please.
 E. R. HARRIS.
 SuIligent, Ala. March S. 1924. T
 Every citizen should vote according to his convictions. Is it not "crime to vote for Mir. MusgrOve. .'" It is merely useless and futile. He would stand no chance of the nomination. while Mir. Underwood has an excellent chance, not only to be nominated, but to be elected. If the nation is willing so to honor Mr. Underwood, why should his own people be reluctant?-Ed Age-Herald.

 My Dear Comrade: The communication which have from you, under date of Febru- ary IA, is circular one, but because it is signed by you, it becomes a personal one with me. You and I are old friends. Our friendship is bound up in soldier comradeship, in times of war and peace. We served to- gether back in the old National Guard days, when we were called "tin soldiers by those who, unlike Us, were unwilling to give any time for military training that one might be useful to country in time of emergency. After years of such state service with thou sands of young Alabamians, the Mexican border call came, and we responded. Upon our return from that tour of duty, we went into the same division for World War service, and about the same time we> joined General Pershings A. E.. F. over there in France. Then, after our return home and to civilian life. we worked together again, helping to build the American Legion. an organization in which we could retain our service bonds of friendship and through it serve country in time of peace as we'll

 TN the course of a long life having to do
 with law and politics, I have observed \ that it is advisable at more or less frequent intervals to re-enact statutes. Fro visions of the new enactments may be identic to the provisions of the old ones, but pur- pose is served The public regards the re- enactments as something new. Its attention is captured. Unless this is done the people forget the old and ignore it's terms or as sume that it does not, exist To the doctrine of a frequent recurrence to the people for the right to rule should be added frequent restatement of principles
 T remember very well the time our republic was in the hands of men who discussed the rule of the people along lines of fixed and settled principles. Then with growth in their material wealth and prosperity the American people grew impatient with the scholarly old gentlemen who argued law and legislation along these lines. They commenced to de- mand that the affairs of this county be man. aged by business men. Their demand, like most demands of the people, was met. Now we are wondering whether we are better off or better satisfied under the rule of realists than we were under the rule of idealists.,
 Business administrations have produced an effect upon. one of the learned professions of America, that of the law. The public has come to be in doubt as. to what lawyer really is and what the practice of law means. Not for long time have I seen any popular statement touching the duties of lawyer and extolling legal practice. Indeed am not sure that the thousands of young men who yearly are sworn in as members of the bar are properly informed as to what their oath really means. The way in which many lawyers are conducting themselves IS calcu- lated to induce these young men to believe that the oath is taken with a mental reserva- tion. 'e., .s s-c-,,
 One thing that ought to be recalled fire quently to all lawyers and fixed in the mind of the American people is thata every man admitted to the bar is an officer of the court, upon whose shoulders rest some of the responsibilities for the administration of jus tice. -.~.,

do any candidate for any office-but, am not called upon to choose between them in this particular case. If we win stand to- gether and help make an Alabamian the president of the United States after he is president I don't believe he will forget us who served in the same army with his son in the great world conflict. Yours" sincerely,

Still On The "Wet And Dry" Issue


 To the Editor of The Age Herald
 There seems to be an idea among some of the Underwood supporters that citizen can be good Democrat unless he votes for MT. Underwood. These self-appointed pO- lltlcal dictators are appealing to the voters to support Mir. Underwood from a standpoint of state pride and patriotism. There are thou sands of voters in Alabama who are one hun dred per cent. Democrats, one hundred per cent. patriotic and one hundred per cent. American who are not going to support Mir. Underwood in the preferential primary be- cause he does not stand for those fundamental principles of government which they honestly believe should be put in force Patriotism runs deeper than the political Inspirations of any office-seeker regardless of whether he be an Alabaman or from some other state We believe the voters of Alabama would rather have a president who is fundamentally dry than to have one dry for political expediency If the people of the state vote their real con- Vlctlons, they will vote for a man whose past record IS dry, one whose sympathy is with the common people instead of the big interests ol our country one who is big enough to deal fairly with all classes
 We have yet to find the man who can offer good excuse for the holding of two Democratic primaries in Alabama this spring. We have yet to find man who can give any excuse for disfranchising the people of the state in the selection of delegates to the Democratic national convention and confer ring this privilege upon Governor Conner. Governor Brandon. Forney Johnson. Ali Tunstall. Walter Moore or any other out spoken Underwood supporter. Why confer this honor upon an Underwood supporter? ? The real true Democrats of the state should, and I believe most of them do. resent such undemocratic political ciIicanery as the Un-
