CALM OF
ALABAMA HIT
BY ANTI-ALS
Questions of Prohibi-
ton and Religion
Shakes Stronghold
Of Half a Century
BY JAMES II. TAYLOR

bihMlNIhAM, Ala, Oct. l3.-tHl-
Alabama, for more than half a cen
fury a tower of democratic strength,
today, so far as the presidential cam
paign il concerned, is tattering on
the bring Of republicanism.
Persons on both sides Of the po-
litical fence concede this situation
was brought about by the nomination
at Houston of Gov. Alfred 4. Smith
whose religious affiliations and con-
victions regarding prohibition have
changed hitherto burning affection
for democracy into lukewarmness and
has set party chieftains about re-
kindling fires.
To hold Alabama in the democratic
line, that party's leaders must bridge
the chasm between Smith and the
people over his adherence to Catholic
ism and outspoken advocacy for modi-
fication of the prohibition laws. Not-
ers in rural communities, principally,
fear Smiths election will mean an
end to separation of church and state
while in urban communities women
and ministers have been joined by
ordinary dry voters in declaring his
entrance to the White House will see
the return of the saloon.
The republicans are not without
their difficulties in the way of pre-
JUDGES to be overcome. To sell" the
electorate on Mr.. Hoover they must
offer an argument sufficiently strong
TO overcome antagonism toward the
republican party that dates back to
the war between the states and sub
sequent carpet bag rule. Thousands
of AlahamanS still bristle when the
question of social equality between
the races is brought up and to many,
repubiicanism is synonymous TO
negro dominance.
That the states electorate will
undergo a change of heart and
swell the majority they already are
claiming between now and Novem-
Der s j. the confident hope OF dem
ocratic leaders. On the other hand,
republican heads are daily adding
vigor to a campaign Unprecedented
for it's activity. They are equally

those days were no kid ,%love" af-

and took a rapid fire Of editorial

Herald Established in 1892
When Jesse o. Wheeler. who had
been connected with the Victoria Ad-
voeate, one Of the oldest. il not the
Oldest daily paper in Texas, came
70 Brownsville in 1892 to establish
The Brownsville Herald, he found
the field occupied BY two English
and two Spanish publications. The
plant for The Herald was ordered
from New York, coming by boat to
Brazos Santiago, and the first edi-
ton of the Lower Rio Grande VAL
ley daily was issued July 4, 1892.
Following the death of Jesse o.
Wheeler in 1908. Mrs. Wheeler as
sumed active management and edi-
torship, conducting the publication
until 1924. when il was purchased
BY the present owners.
In 1905 the Brownsville Sentinel
was revived and became a daily
publication, continuing several a
and later became a weekly, publica-
ton of which was suspended in 1919.
The daily was again revived in 1922,
continuing publication n few months.
Among the early publications to
serve the lower border territory was
the San Antonio Daily Herald. which
vas issued in 1s49. the only daily
paper IN south Texas at that time.

Of Governor Smith will increase
rather than diminish in the inter
vening weeks.
Even the most ardent followers
of Herbert Hoover do not question
that the state is solidIy democratic,
so far ms the state ticket is con-
cerned. With less than a dozen ex-
ceptions. and these to the lower
house of the legislature, Alabama has
not elected a republican TO major
political office in nearly three score
years.
This presidential campaign has re-
solved itself into a battle for ballots,
the magnitude and Importance Of
which the most confident Of demo-
cratic leaders appreciate. In by
gone years, even 1920 when Harding
polled the largest republican vote
ever recorded in Alabama, democrats
and republicans alike we're content
with only casual efforts at vote get
ting. The result was never ques-
toned beforehand.
This year there is a different
story. Democrats have marshaled
their forces from all corners of the
tstae with sub-headquarters in the
most populous areas and general
campaign headquarters here. Rep.
w. b. Oliver has assumed active
charge Of the Smith campaign. "A
democratic speakers bureau has been
organized with the party's ~oratorical
big guns firing daily from strategic
centers.
The republicans were quick to seize
AZ 2nn1w%.,sF. r~oann&a1 shaw xshne
the Alabama delegation returned
from Houston, dissatisfied with the
majority selection. Only one of
Alabama's delegation Of "a voted for
Smith and no effort was made for a
band wagon ride.
Political unrest in the state was
climaxed by the formation here Of
an Anti-Smith club. The movement
spread and democrats thus far have
failed to check il. Anti-Smith clubs
and Hoover Democrats" either are
active or their influence is felt in
every county in the state.
Lacking a well rounded state or
ganization with which to augment
their numbers when votes began
voluntarily flooking into their fold.
republican party leaders set upon
that task as the most important Of
all its work. They topped off the
drive with selection Of a slate of
former democratic electors. Among
their number was a delegate to Hous-
ton and the wife Of another.
Quick to catch the drift of senti-
ment, men who for a decade or
more had been in public life began
TO enroll with the H~ooverites and
the state organization was made
complete with headquarters and a
speakers bureau here.

Not Partisan
II should be borne in mind that
in the political activity regulations
there is nothing partisan; they af-
feet all parties equally, and few
protests come from the employees.
With few exceptions they observe
the proprieties OF the situation.
Moreover. they appreciate the ad-
vantages and privileges incident TO
q position in the classified service
and understand that necessary Ger
tain restrictions and inhibitions are
involved.
The restriction against political
activity leaves the employee free to
vote as he ~pleases, TO express his
views privately. to make a volun-
tary contribution, but not in q gov
eminent building or to another fed

position TO the benefit Of one Of
public Is divided.
F~orty-five years Of growth and
stability in the classified service
justify the rules and regulations
against offensive ~partisanship.
