informed that he was busily engaged in
marking ballots for one of my opponents
who was overwhelmingly defeated. / am
willing to accept him as branded by
Governor Conner, namely, as the paid
henchmen of the interests in their fight
against the welfare Of the people.
As to whether or not my opponent
is wet. I am frank to say ] do not
know how he voted, whether wet or
dry. do know that during the 1923
session of the Alabama legislature he
maintained a suite of'rooms on the sixth
floor of the Exchange hotel in Mont
gomery in which liquor WAS free and
easy, and kept man on guard night
and day in the hall to keep the bell
boys from stealing the whisky. That
mans name Is Tom Williamson, for
mer resident of Birmingham. He made
the statement to me, while on duty as
guard in the hall of the floor. that
he was there as the employee of Mr..
Walter Moore, guarding the whisky in
this suite of rooms to keep the bell
boys from stealing it. That may be the
kind Of prohibition Mr.. Lawrence pre-
fers. Those facts were the basis for
my charge that Moore was wet. am
willing to leave it to the people to
decide.
am in receipt of reports from all
sections of the state which assure nv
election on Tuesday. The ex-service men
are supporting my candidacy all over
the state: so also are the progressives
who know that while / was engaged
in Montgomery in fighting the battles
of the people, during the 1923 legisla-
ture and getting the tax exemptions of
great power companies repealed and
championing the fight to abolish the
convict lease system, my opponent was
among those who were opposing me at
every turn.
The only strength that my opponent
was able to develop at any time, in
any section of the state, was through his
effort to make the question of Mr.. I'm
derwOod's nomination in the June CON-
ventiOn the issue in this campaign.
However, as soon as the resolution of
the last Democratic convention was
called to the attention of those people
who were inclined to support Moore
on this issue, amely that the national
committeeman elected on Tuesday is
being elected to serve in the national
convention of 1928 and not in the ma
tional convention of 1924, the resolu-
ton being to the effect that the pres
emit national committeeman, Mr.. Moore,
even. though defeated in this campaign,
will serve as national committeeman
throughout the entire convention in
New York in June, the tendency to
support him on this issue vanished into
thin air. In fact, many people have
stated to me that they resented the
efforts of Mr.. Moore and some of his
friends to .mislead them in this re-
spect.
1 have been unable to find, in any
section of the state, any sentiment OF
support for Mr.. Moore personally.
want to take this occasion to thank
my many friends in all sections Of the
state for their warm and active support
of my candidacy.
