A Southern League Orgaalzed to Maintain Them. Montgomery, Ala., Feb. —. —(Special Correspondence.)—The Southern Ballot Rights League, which was organized in New Orleans, Jan. 18, has opened a general office here to commence its work. The purpose of this association is to agitate and educate the south on the subject of ballot re-* form. Investigations of political corruption will be made and published to the world. Documents, speeches, etc., on the subject of ballot rights will be widely distributed by the league. Any one may become a member of the league who will send his name and address to the general office at Montgomery, Ala. If $1 accompanies the name, the member will receive the publications of the association for one year. A ballot reform wave has struck the south and especially Alabama. The league will keep its members posted and no doubt but that thousands of people in the south will join this work, send in their dollar to keep it going and to be informed as to what is being done for a fair vote and an honest count. The Southern Ballot Rights League is non-partisan and prominent republicans like Col. W. S. Parkerson of New Orleans, democrats like Secretary of State Adams of Louisiana, populists like J. C. Manning of Alabama, are interested in the movement. Reformer.
