A LOCAL OPTION PLANK
Included Declaration in Favor of
Local Self-Government-rOppo-nenti
of the Primary System
Won a Partial Victory.
" (.Issccialtd Preu Rtferl.)
MONTGOMERY Ala. Way li. t'ntn
long past midnight this morning Bute-
wide delegates to the democratic State
convention kept up a bitter and persistent
fight to retain Statewide prohibition In'
Alabama. The fight bids fair to prove
one of the most memorable In Alabama
politics. Defeated at almost every turn
the lading advocaisa of the Statewide
policy propored a new amendment to the
prohibition plank In the platform as fast
aa the previous proposition had been lost.
R. Tyler Omidwyn of Montgomery was
finally elected chairman of the conven-
tion over U K. Jeffries of Belma. The
vote ai 383 to 21 f and was taken aa
showing the division of the local option
and the Statewide forces and subse-
quent test votes upon sections of the plat-
form were in about the same ratio.
O'NEAL'S SPEECH.
Of the prohibition policy Emmett
O'Neal nominee for governor. In his
speech of acceptance said:
'If the policy of Statewide prohibition
is to be maintained we must purge from
the statutes those provisions which In-
vade constitutional guarantees and vio-
late well established legal rights."
Mr. O'Neal took the position that there
must he more and better paid mine In-
spectors hacked up by heavy and col-
lectable penalties. In order to protect life
and that some provision should be made
to take care of the widow and orphans
of the dead miners.
The platform as adopted tonight in.
contrast to the trend of affairs in Ala-
bama since the last convention is the
essence of conservatism. That this is
true waa shown by the first section
which declared that In future in all plat-
forms and declarations of the party It
shall be known as the "democratic and
conservative party of Alabama."
ANTt-PROHIBITION TLANK.
The fifth section of the platform on
which the fight was made by the "Blate-
widers" la as follows:
U "We favor temperance and sobriety a
promotive of good citizenship and'ifood
gbvernmsjat but we . deplore legislative
Attempts to 'enforce the prohibition of
the manufacture or other disposition of
Intoxicants against the expressed wishes
of the communities affected and we 're-
affirm our adherence to the principle of
local option approved In the platform of
the party adopted In 189. believing that
a departure In practice from the principle
then announced was a departure from the
time-honored democratic doctrine of local
self -government and wa not In further-
ance of th cause of temperance."
Opponents of the primary system won
partial victory. The nomination of the
Judiciary by convention was indorsed.
'' PROTECnorTcONDEMN'ED.
"We. are unalterably opposed to the
present high tariff for which the repub-
lican party Is responsible" reads another
section "and condemn It for It faithless
failure to revise the tariff downward aa
pledged In the platform; we charge the
present era of almost prohibitive high
prices to the Instrumentality of the tariff
and favpr such reduction and readjust-
ment thereof aa will relieve all classes
from any unjust burden and from the ef-
fect of unjust discrimination which may
tend to oppress the many for th benflt
of the few.''
Protection of capital foreign and do-
mestic; regulation of public service cor-
porations: Immigration of desirable white
people; efficient laws for mine operations;
and the creation of a Btate highway
commission and the purging of the State
payroll from sinecures form the subject
cause of public education; maintenance
of Confederate veterans and their widows
of other section of the platform.

LONG SPEECHES EXPECTED
Conference Took Up Routine Work
ii Earnest Yesterday The
Women Visitors Were Ten
dered a Reception.
(.Associated Preu Report.)
ASHEVILLE N. C May IS Since
the election of bishops and connection!
officers Is over at the general conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church.
South the conference got down to active
.work today on the many memorials and
petition which have already passed
through the handa of the various commit-
tees and were up for adoption or rejec-
tion by the conference.
The fact that there was no discussion
of the Vanderblle university question cre-
ated some surprise as it had been freely
predicted that both sides were ready with
speeches to defend their positions. There
seemed to be some relief that the report
of the committee on education bearing
on the question met with such speedy
adoption by the conference. It le claimed
by those who were In favor of the re--port
that the ' church has won a great
and signal victory and has forever set
st rest the question of whether or .not
the Methodist Episcopal church. Booth
owns Vanderbllr university.
The report adopted this morning was
writtenMn its entlretv hv Rev. H. M.
Dubose D. D. The election of Rev. W.
W. Plnson of Tennessee as missionary
secretary Kev. W. F. Murray of Ken-
tucky aa church extension secretary. Rev.
F. 8. Parker of Tennessee as general sec-
retary of th Ep worth League and editor
of the lEpworth . Era. .1 . K Dickey of
Georgia as secretary of the board of edu-
cation and Rev. J. F. Lamar and D. M.
Smith as pubtshlng agents is considered
tonight aa th very best possible selec-
tions that could have been made. Each
man elected I eminently qualified to fill
the responsible position to which the
church ha called him. The laymen are
greatly pleased with tne measure adopted
today by which they will hereafter have
larger representation in the annual con-
ference. It 1 thought that the measure
passed upon today will meet with the en-
tire approval of all laymen throughout
the church.
WOMEN TENDERED RECEPTION.
This afternoon the Methodist women of
Ashevllle tendered a reception . to the
visiting ladles attending the conference.
Rev. S. Parker Gadman of Brooklyn
New York delivered a lecture tonight
on William E. Gladstone at the audito-
rium session. The opening of the reli-
gious exercises was conducted by the
Kev. J. B. Cox of Mexico while Bishop
James Atkins presided. The Rev. A.
Carmen superintendent of the Methodist
church In Canada was Introduced to th
Conference.
The committee on church relation rec-
ommended that the Methodist Episcopal
thurch. South the Methodist Episcopal
chukcH and the Methodist Protestant
church be brought Into still closer rela-
tionship. The conference adopted the
report. .
The following were elected aa a com-
mittee for selecting the next place of
meeting: J. G. Brown T. B. King L. L.
Thomas T. W. Davis and A. J. Lamar.
Dr. H. M. Dubose addressed the confer-
ence and asked the delegates not to vote
for him for re-election a editor of the
Epworth Era as he desired to re-enter
the pastorate. Bishop Honda and Dr.
Hori of Japan took an affectionate leave
ot the conference and Rev. Nmphtala
Tuccocok fraternal delegate of the Meth-
odist Episcopal church was introduced.
He will deliver his message Thursday
night. 1
There were two faction on th Vender-
bllt matter. One wa headed by the uni-
versity chancellor and th trustees. The
rules of the church forbid the naming
on boards of trust of men not members
ot the church If men as competent can
be found In the church. The trustees se-
lected several men outside of the church
for such positions including one of the
Vsnderbllts. Then there came a move to
do away with-the selection of the trustees
by the conference and make that body
the trustee s self-perpetuating body.
The college of hlshopa went on record as
opposed to this innovation. The adop-
tion of the report show that the stand
ft the bishops Is approved.
COMMON LAW VISITOR8.
Briefly this report finds that the
bishops are common law visitors to the
university that the conference has th
right to select the trustee either Itself or
through any other agency It desires; that
the conference shall select th board of
trust and fill vacancies on it; that th
conference shall continue the plan adopted
In Baltimore kt 1901 when It committed
to the board 01 education for confirma-
tion the names of all trustees selected by
the board of trust finally the reoort
confirms the stand taken by the bishops '
on outer minor points ana instructs them
to take any action necessary at any time
to protect the church's right in th uni-
versity. Following the adoption of th" report
the conference elected to fill vacancies on
the board of trustee K. M. Harris Of
South Carolina A. W. Bigg of Tennessee
and B. A. Godby of Texas. -
The afternoon session was opened with
a prayer of great earnestness by Rev.
8. Anderson for the ministers who have
been elected for the different position
of trust In the church. .
A motion to adjourn Mdnday next at
noon was carried after a motion to ad-
journ Saturday night waa defeated.
J. a Wilson .1. R. Pepper B. M. Bur-
ger. M. L. Watson and A. . Napier
were elected member of th Sunday
school board. A committee of woman
also was appointed to select the women
to serve on the commission on missionary
union. .- -.
By a vote of th conference the sal-
aries of all general secretaries of de-
partments and chief editors war raisad
from 13000 to (.1600 per year.
