Montgomery, Ala., May 2—Returns
from the State primaries held today
record the nomination, by an over-
whelming majority, of Emmet O'Neal
of Florence, the anti-prohlbltlon
amendment candidate, for Governor,
defeating H. S. D. Mailory of Selma.
K. P. Thomas of Eufaula was nom-
inated for Lieutenant Governor.
Prohibition Was Main Issue.
Prohibition was the main issue
fought out in the campaign leading
up to the primaries held today. Mai-
lory has been credited with the larg-
est part of the result represented by
the act passed by the legislature by
which the amendment for Statewide
prohibition was submitted to the vo-
ters last November. The amendment
was defeated at the polls by a ma-
jority of 27,000. Mailory based his
campaign for Gubernatorial nomina-
tion on a continuation of the liquor
laws as now on the statute books.
O'Neal was the prime mover of the
convention held at Montgomery from
which the movement was launched
that defeated the constitutional
amendment for Statewide prohibi-
tion, in which figlit he was leader of
the anti-amendment forces. His plat-
form in the campaign for Governor
was for a "fair trial" of the present
laws but their modification by the
will of the people demandlug it along
the local option plan.
The nomination of O'Neal is gener-
ally accepted as a final knell sound-
ing the wane of the prohibition move-
ment in this State,
can receive convention ladles are in
number far short of wihat will be im-
peratively needed; and ask therefore
that other homes shall be opened dur-
ing the week, notification,thereof be-
ing made as before requested.
Mrchants Should Decorate Stores.
The Commercial Club directors to-
day will take vigorously in hand the
matter of store decorations for the
convention. The fire department will
decorate headquarters building, the
opera house, convention headquarters
and other convention scenes, and it
is urged that the business men co-
operate in this way in order that th?
city shall have its "best front" while
the hundreds of visitors are here.
The additional convention commit-
tees were completed last night and
this morning will get busy.

Three convention sessions were
held yesterday. The meeting was
ushered in by an ii mal reception
in the parlors by the local members
to the visitors, the convention thence
marching into the hall to the strains
of orchestral music. The line was
led by Mrs. Elizabeth Hooper, M. D.,
of Port Huron, Mich., Supreme Med-
ical Examiner, and Mrs. Allie Webb,
Commander of Temple Hive. During
the social informality punch was

j ternal Sisters. In the receiving line

. Sihear of the local Hive presided over

Mrs. Mary Martin demonstrated re-
spectively cla« initiation and the

Beautiful L. 0. T. M. Drill.
The evening stssion, which was op-
en to the public and was attended by
a very la^ge gathering of Lady Mac-
cabees, Sir Knights and their families
and friends, was inaugurated by an
exhibition drill of the local Hives
team. The drill consisted of the
manuel an* team formations, each,
and all beautifully executed.
The drill team was captained by

The drill was plentifully applaud-
ed throughout and at itg close when
Mrs. Captain Rogers was presented
with an arm bouquet of roses.
Addresses of Welcome and Responses.
Mrs. Laura B. Hart, State Com-
mander, presided, and most grace-
fully so, over the open session. She
employed the remark of Gen. Gordon,
C. S. A., of Memphis recently he made
to the effect that Praternallsm had
1 contributed more than any other or-
ganized people to the fellowship of
man and their brotherhood with Goi,
as a basis of a beautiful tribute oaid
to fraternal organization and the L.
O. T. M. In particular.
In introducing Mayor Fred ,P. Ham-
ill who gave welcome in behalf of Mie
city to the vlsitora, Mrs.'Hart stated
that here where he feas several times
served the city as its chief executive,
he was known by all and all held him
in proud regard aa one who baa
wrought greatly for better civic, so-
cial and moral advancement, and ibe
ladies of the Maccabees appreciate
the honor which is theirs by his pres-
ence and words of welcome.
Mayor Hamill in appropriate fe-
licitations gave the visitors thrice
welcome, recorded his appreciation
for their noble order ami ennobling
principles and occompliahments, and
wished for the L. 0. T. M's God-
spied and perpetuity.
In behalf of Temple Hive, Mrs. Al-
lie Webb, Past Commander, gave
greeting to "Temple's Hive, homes
and hearts." She stated that the vis-
itors by then must have been assur-
ed of their welcome, and predicted
great benefit from the convention 'o
follow in measure of new friendships
formed, minds broadened and hearts
quickened in kindly ways. The prlm-
ciples of the Order, said Mrs. Webb,
can not be improved upon, and the
Order stands today the greatest of
organized women. She admonished
her Lady Maccabees to cherish th»t
heaven-born instinct of kindness, and
one of the principles "to not keep the
alabaster boxes of their love sealed
from their Sisters until they are
dead," In behalf of the local Hive,
Mrs. Webb recorded appreciation of
the visitors' presence, those especially
who had journeyed over long dis-
tances to be here; and hoped for the
fullest measure of social pleasure and
fraternal benefits to ensue from the
convention, and "that some day you
will come again over the new rapid
transit lines soon to be in operation
Into this city."
W. B. Blaine( in behalf of the 800
knights of the Maccabees of Prairie
Queen Tent No. 7, the banner Tent
in Texas, gave greetings to "the
I>ady Maccabees, Sir Knights and all
those who aren't but ought to be."
In glowing terms, yet at times having
humorous turns, Mt Blaine gave we1-
c< me and--extol!ed the two Orders as
the noblest on the earth.
Dr. Hooper.
Mrs. Elizabeth Hooper, M, D, Su-
preme Medical Examiner, broufeiit
greetings from the "116,000 Lady
Maccabees of the World." Dr. Hosi-
er's genuinely personal charm gave
her remarks beautiful attractiveness,
even though they dwelt largeiy wan
statistic* of the Order. iaterspencd
through her address was the ' hu-
morous side" of her official position,
L'..t nevertheless the was instructive,
since many were the sidelights from
L. O. T. M. work.
Twenty years ago, she said, the
membership was 219. That was in
IS93. Five ye rs i.itfr it had !o-
ce„6ed to JO,000 members, .1 the
next ensuing ten years to 140,000,
and now has a total of 116,000 mem-
bers. Since organization $18,000,000
in death claims have been paid by
the Order, and thereby thousands of
homee have been prevented from dis-
integration by the death of husbands
and mothers, the greatest benefits
having bestowal upon the orphan
children at times when they most

needed financial aid. The L. O. T.
M. ranks eighth in the list of life in-
surance companies, and is the larg-
est, in point of members and assets,
of any organization composed entire-
ly of women and managed by them.
Dr. Hooper then proceeded at some
leugth to explain the basis adopted
eight years ago for fixing Uie rate for
indemnity to the members, based on
the best proved scientific rules of
life-expectancy and rate of mortality;
whereby members entering when yet
young in years receive the benefit of
a lower rate than those whose years
are more advanced. She stated that
the assets of the company are invest-
ed in the highest class of bond secur-
ities, their stability and guarantee of
the organization's solvency offsetting
the slightlyl lower income from the
other more speculative investments.
She referred to the movement now
well underway for a hospital home
for indigent members and orphans of
the Older, and looking further to-
ward a tuberculosis home to be built.
She complimented the great growth
of. the Order in Texas under Mrs.
Hart's leadership, and made a plea
for its continuance so that" ttfe £".
O. T. M. in Texas may soon reach the
second class. "* V

the saying that the Commercial Club, %

that Temple does not propose to al-
