BURGLARS ENTER
BUT TAKE NOTHING

Burglars during Monday night en-
tered the store of w. 7. McMath, OH
West Church street, but Mr.. Nc
Math stated today they took nothing
of value, so far as he had been able
to discover. Entrance was effected
by saving a hasp on the back door

arrived and departed in an automo,

to complete the robbery. An auto

fired, Mr.. McMath states, but the in

w. D. Upshaw, who had been bill
ed as an exponent Of Mr.. McAdoo's
candidacy for president, delivered a
prohibition lecture instead of a poll
itical address at the court house
last night. y
1 first began to suspect this when
PR, Upshaw kept his hearers await
ing half an hour after the appointed
time for the speaking to begin. Then
he sent word by a policeman to
"Sing a Song" that he had been de-
tanned by long DISTANCE telephone
message, If Willie ppshaW talked
over long distance telephone during
all the time he kept last nights
crowd waiting at the court house,
then the McAdoo men certainly have
the money to spend-and they're
spending it.
But this is beside the story of
the meeting, and l want to apolog-
ize for the DEPRESSION.
Willie ppshaw is a great man; !
know this because he broke down
last night and confessed that he is
the individual who brought prohibit
ton to the nation, that it was he
who drove the Demon Rum from
the halls of Congress, and that 'in

of Georgia" but who has been with

during the past forty years. Mr..

Wet DRY is AHEAD
Alabalnian First Southerner
With Golden Opportunity to
Be Named President
IS 100 PCT. AMERICAN
Distinguished Service During 80
Years Given Nation By
Underwood

] ATLANTA. March 49, ---4 Cans
paign offices of Senator Under
wood late Monday issued a state
ment concerning the visit to Allan
ia of John w. sibley, Birmingham
business man and member from
the state at large of the Alabama
Underwood campaign committee.
Mr.. Sibley is very jubilant over
the magnificent majority of over
$4,000 piled up for Senator Under
wood in the presidential primary in
Alabama last Tuesday, says state
ment, as follows:
Mr.. Sibley, who is one of the
pioneer prohibitionists of Alabama,
and took active and influential part
in all the campaigns in favor Of pro.
hibition in Alabama, says he is ex-
tremely gratified at the overwhelm-
ing number of prohibitionists who
voted for Senator Underwood.
Headquarters committee of the
Anti-Saloon League fought Under
wood bitterly and imported William
Jennings Bryan to stmp one state
against him in the closing days of
the campaign, but the result showed
that large majority of the eank
and file since prohibitionists sup
ported Underwood. During the
campaign, Mr.. Sibley pointed out,
that Senator Underwood was a real
friend of prohibition, though he
differed as to the policy before the
adoption of the 18th amendment;
for it was Senator Underwood's
support and influence as the demor
cratic leader congress that put on
the statute books the anti-shipping
bills that made prohibition enforce
ment possible and he had voted for
every bill appropriating funds for
enforcement of the Volstead Law
and was the only candidate for
president of either party who had
publicly declared he would, if cleo.
ted president, use the army and
navy to break up the rum-runners.
Mr.. Sibley says that it is easy 10
understand Bryan's opposition to
Underwood, for it was the Under
wood delegations at the Baltimore
convention that blocked Bryan's
scheme for fourth nomination by
the democrats and gave the two
thirds majority to Woodrow Wilson
Bryan knew that 1912 was a sure
democratic year and has never for
gwen Underwood for upsetting his
scheme. Bryan certainly controlled
the policy of democracy in three
presidential campaigns, but never
q request did he make for a prohi-
bition plank in the platforms. He
was also a member of congress, but
there is no record of his offering
a bill to make the nation dry.
Mr.. Sibley says as an ex-Geor.
gian, he hopes and believes the
grand old Empire state of the South
Will repeat its action of 1919 and
join hands with Alabama in secur-
ing the nomination for the frs
southernor in 80 years who has a
golden opportunity of being elected
IN the general election in November
Vndefwood's 80 years of faithful
and distinguished service has won
for him the highest encomiums thru
out the nation; even his political
foes admire and respect his signal
ability pOise and fair-mindness,
couple with an Amerieanism that Is
100 per cent pure.
