Al Wilson, 1903,12 Second Avenue, i STATE PRESS ECHOES, And the People A re iOr Him. Papers which three weeks ago wouldn’t support Johnston for anything are now declaring for him for governor. How beautifully the organized machinery works! A whisper and a nod, and—the boss saunt the word. See?—Alabama Al liance-News. • • * The People Are All Right. Yes, the people are all right. The near er you come to the people the nearer you get to the right lines. The people are de termined that the rule-or-ruin few shall not, by their contrivances, prevail over the wishes of the many. This means the nomination and election of Joe John ston.—Huntsville Argus. • • • No Successful Opposition. The Herald does not agree with its able contemporary, the Ashville Aegis, In Its prediction that Captain Johnston will have successful opposition in the race for the nomination. We do not be lieve now that there Is a man in the state who will enter the race for anything fur ther than establishing a name In political circles, hoping that toe future may bear him fruit.—Union Springs Herald. • • » The Mobile Register Should Take Notioe. The Journal is waiting for the Mobile Register to discover that on the occasion of Captain Johnston’s recent visit to the city that the captain called on the gov ernor in company with his friend, State Treasurer Craig Smith. The governor had his private secretary, Captain Val den, present at the little seance. This ought to furnish the Register with suffi cient circumstantial evidence to make out its case against the governor and the captain that they are In a combine.— Montgomery Journal. • • • Doubtful iflt Finds Its Man. The Advertiser's coup d'etat, which come out after the late elections, has been sidetracked. Governor Oates is out In a speech declaring he will not be a candidate for governor, and will not ac cept the nomination. So the Advertiser must nominate some other man. Here tofore the people have had their candi date and the Advertiser has had Its can didate. and it has always triumphed In the fight by forcing by diplomatic skill Its candidate on the people. But all good things must have an end as well as evil ones. The Advertiser has great reason to rejoice over Its former triumphs. It speaks volumes for the power and In fluence of that great newspaper organ, but It ought to be satisfied with Its fonner victories and follow the people Jn the coming contest; otherwise It may lose its prestige, which has been of so much value to It in the past. It may press its claims a hit too far and fall very hard. Indeed, the little fall It has Just experienced In pressing Governor Oates' claims to a point where most of Its gold allies left It alone ought to be a warning. The Mobile Register, the Birmingham News, the Anniston Hot Blast and the Huntsville Argus refused to go with the Advertiser In pressing Governor Oates' clslms after Capt. Joseph F. Johnston announced his candidacy. But, notwith standing this, (he Advertiser says the gold standard men must have ano!h“r candldate--another demand for harmony, we suppose, such as the Advertiser Is accustomed" to making. We doubt If tills great organ can find its man.—Progres sive Age. • * • The Advertiser Ingenious. The Journal has never doubted the ability of the Montgomery Advertiser, but has always questioned Its methods and judgment. It Is quite Ingenious 111 Its methods and effective In Its assaults upon opponents because of Its Ingenious methods. Here Is a fair Illustration of Its methods of attack. In today's Issue It says: “The Cherokee Sentinel, one of the most radical populist papers In the state, proposes honest elections' as the first and foremost plank 111 that party's platform, and the free coinage of silver as the second. The State Herald, Cap tain Johnston's mouthpiece, proposes to make free silver the first, and a ‘fair and' honest' vote the second. The difference between the two papers. It will be seen. Is merely the relative importance of the two planks; they are really together.” Now. to a person—even a person of more than ordinary Intelligence—tills looks like a center shot, and Is calculated to demoralize Johnston's friends and put them to rout. Hut let the reader stop a minute and think, and he will readily see how Illogical and liow very ridiculous It Is. and how absurd the position In which the Advertiser has placed Itself. Now. really, what harm can there be In the free silver advocates having two such planks In their platform as one de claring for free silver and the other for honest elections? Both of these planks have been Inserted In the state demo cratic platform by former democratic slate conventions, and the esteemed Ad vertiser has hitherto regarded them ns very good democratic planks. if the populists chose to take two very good planks In the democratic platform and adopt them, more’s the credit to them and to the democratic party, from which It steals Us two planks. But let’s take another view' of it. Suppose the demo cratic state convention declares for the single gold standard and dishonest elec tions. and yet this is what the Advertiser, by Inference, would have the party do, what would be the result? No one doubts what would be the result. And this Is not what the Advertiser would have the party do unless It sought and Invited Us defeat. How many people are dally mis led by Just such Ingenious assaults upon all opposition, simply because they have not got time to stop and think.—Mont gomery Journal. • • • The Register's Inconsistency. The Opelika Kvening News thusly handles the Mobile Register without gloves: The Register says; "One needs no gift of prophecy to ena ble him to foresee that If Captain John ston be nominated by the democratic party for governor of Alabama the dem erratic party will be defeated by the re ptibhean-pQDUlist combination.” If the Register had not been bo anxious to promote the political aspirations of its townsman for the senate it surely would not have penned the above sentence. To show the fallacy, not to say the absurdi ty, of the argument we have only to sub stitute the name of Gov. W. C. Oates for that of Captain Johnston. Have the populists and republicans any more love for Governor Oates than they have for Captain Johnston? Has Governor Oates ever pandered to the prejudices of either the republicans or populists? If so, when and where? If the argument has any force against the nomination of Captain Johnston, it is much stronger against the nomination of Governor Oates. Cap tain Johnston is in favor of the free coin age of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, and Governor Oates is not. The populists agree with Captain Johnston on this point and disagree with Governor Oates. Yet the Register was rampant fov the nomination of Governor Oates to succeed himself. None so blind as they who will not see. The Register goes on to say: "Captain Johnston Is not enough of a free-silvor-or-bust politician to attract a single dyed-in-the-wool populist. He is recognized by them as one of us—a man who is a democrat from conviction and who will under all circumstances g!v8 his support to the party nominees. The populists have no use for that kind of man.” Does Governor Oates differ from Cap lain Johnston in this respect? Is he les3 faithful than Captain Johnston to the democratic party? Will the Register an swer? If lie is not less faithful to his party, will the populists or republicans vote for him? And if they will not vote for him how can he be elected governor? Yet the Register show'ed its temper be cause Governor Oates refused to be a candidate before the convention for re nomination. "Consistency thou art a Jewel.” * * • Why Not Have Harmony? For several months past there has been talk In all portions of Alabama about the importance of having harmony In the ranks of the democratic party In next year’s state election. This talk hits been indulged In by those who favor the free and unlimited coinage of sliver and those wiio favor the single gold standard. For several months It seemed that a repeti tion of the Gate s-Johnston contest was to he had, ami this was mainly the causu of the expressions In favor of harmoniz ing the difference* in the party sufficient ly to agree on a candidate for governor without having a bitter contest inside the party. Governor Oates has positively and finally declined to become a. candidate for governor. This leaves no candidate In the state except Capt. Joseph F. John ston. and affords the party an opportuni ty to unite on him as its candidate for governor. Captain Johnston is a man who Is in every way worthy to serve as Alabama's chief executive. He is recognized as one of the best, business men in the state, and certainly no other Alabamian has done more work for his party than has Captain Johnston. Then why the neces sity of drafting another candidate? When there is no one else asking to be governor, why the necessity of bringing a pressure t.o force the candidacy of an other man? These are pertinent, questions, and nre being answered by many who do not agree with Captain Johnston fully In his financial views by declaring that no oth er candidate should be brought out. but that the party should unite In an effort to elect him over the combined opposition of the republicans and populists.—Jack sonville Republican. * * • Let the Fight Go On. “Let the fight go on, but let it he con ducted without rancor, and above all let It be understood that the contest ends with the nomination and that every dem ocrat will loyally support the nominee of our convention.” The above la the closing sentence of an] editorial in the Advertiser. It wants the "tight to go on, but wants it to be con ducted without rancor.” How is this possible when the gold monometallists persist In virtually calling the silvcritcs a set of fools and Its leaders a set of place seekers? "And above all let It be under stood that the contest ends with the nomination.” Of course those who par ticipate in the convention will, ns honor able men, abide by I he nomination. But what about those who are read out of the partv by the Advertiser and its followers and not allowed to vote in the primaries? There are thousands of these, and with out them it is impossible to elect any democrat as the successor of Governor Oates. It can safely he counted on that there are at least one-half the white men In Alabama In favor of restoring silver to the same position it occupied In 1873. How then does the Advertiser and its fol lowers expect to elect a democrat? Will they countenance and advocate Daiiui box Stuffing as in the days when the con test was between white men on the one tilde and negroes and a few carpet-bag gers and scalawags on the other? The contest now is between white men and white men, good citizens arid good citi zens. The policy of the Advertiser. If successful, will surely disrupt the party and turn the government over to the re publicans. In saying this we do not mean to countenance any desertion from Ihe democratic ranks. As for ourselves, we shall fight the gold hug element until a nomination is made. Bui after that time we shall advocate the election of any democrat that may he nominated.—Opelika Evening News. * • • "On With the Fight.” In order that our readers may get a full Insight Into the sayings and doings of some of the leading democratic dailies of Alabama at this critical Juncture, the Argus reproduces on its first page, in its entirety, a forceful editorial from the Birmingham State Herald of Friday. It shows the reckless and defiant drift of the Montgomery Advertiser and Mobile Register (In the face of Captain John ston's practically assured nomination), in a startling hut true light. There must be more than any ordinary prompting for the desperate tone of these two Jour nals There are many other equally con sistent and faithful advocates of the gold standard who do not view the situation In this Jaundiced and destructive light. The Argus, while an earnest supporter of Mr. Cleveland's financial policy, recog nizes In the strained and far-fetehed is sue presented by the Register and Ad vertiser in regard to a strictly stale campaign, a degree of proscriptive in tolerance, which It condemns in common with Ihe great majority of the people, without qualification. If there Is any doubt In any one's mind about the per sonal malignity which stimulates the Advertiser, for instance, let him read the following, which appeared like the wire tipped cracker of a hull whip, at the end of an editorial of Friday assailing some recent pacific utterances of Governor "On with the fight to the finish. It Is for the best. There can be no mouthing after a hard fight and a clean licking. The Advertiser has no sort of misgiving a* to Ihe wisdom of this policy, or as to the outcome of the contest. The right will prevail. Parly loyaity will be up held. Mutineers will be rebuked. Selfish leaders will be disciplined into line. In sincere demagogues will be shamed Into silence. The party will be stronger for the tussle." Note the phrases—"on with the fight, "mutineers" and such! Who would imag ine that these refer to party brethren whose ranks outnumber those of the hari-kari way of thinking, set forth in the Register and Advertiser, as much as forty to one? The spirit and Intent of all this Is de plorable, but it cannot be that the demo cratic masses will succumb before It. When even Governor Oates stumbles into a praise-v jrthy spirit this fierce inter necine blade leaps forth from the Adver tiser. It is not difficult to see who is the real “mutineer!”—Huntsville Argus. • • • Keep Up With the Great Majority. The few state Journals which seem to feel constrained to continue their oppo sition to the nomination of Capt. Joseph F. Johnston for governor may depend upon it that they are far away from the well nigh universal sentiment within the ranks of the democratic partj* In Ala bama. The tide is so strong toward Johnston as the best, safest and surest solution of the gubernatorial problem that there is no mistaking it. There would not be found within the entire state enough of those democrats of any body-to-beat-Johnston kind to form a faction—no, not even a small faction worthy of the name. They are over estimating themselves, and by their au dacious noisiness they have persuaded themselves that their numbers are great er and their ranks more compact than ever. Who Is the man they are to lead forth for the altar to sacrifice? A week has passed since the labor of finding some other than Governor Oates was begun and not even a single name has been paraded. No good ground has been given for their continued effort to divide and dismember the party; for this would be the only certain result of their proposed plan. They cannot in their hearts be laying a predicate to depart from the tents which have so long shielded th^m and theirs. No. we cannot for a moment believe this. Rut as far as within them lay they are injuring their party, white we are sure they do not intend it. Dem ocratic brethren, you must come along with the great majority of your people.— Huntsville Argus. speciaTmusical service.
