Combining his roles of circuit-rider preacher and backwoods politician, Catts told his campaign audiences a vision, in which his mother appeared to him and directed him to do his "duty" caused him to seek the governorship. His political meetings usually took the form of the old-fashioned revival service with prayers for guidance, shouts from audience and the passing of the plate.

Hall, editor of The Advertiser. Mr. Hall explored his thesis that under the condition made by the scientific laboratory civilization is not likely to have but one more great war. can't pay for another great war, we can't absorb the punishment it will inflict," said the editor. "But I do not doubt that we will have one more on a grand scale, although I do not expect it now.

Certainly Germany and France are not going to fight. The next war will start in the Far East. It may spread to Europe. "It will take just one more war under modern conditions to convince civilized man that war is beyond his means and beyond his physical power to endure. Then we shall not only organize the nations in a peace pact, but we shall have the will to enforce the pact.

Today we have the organization, but we lack the will do give it force. "You young gentlemen, who are just old enough to die and just at the age to live beautifully, should regard peace and war issues as personal, not academic. The things we love in this life cannot survive another war of the powers. That is not a bit of sentimental rhetoric, it is a rational deduction from factual material that is available to any literate student of affairs. "Sheer human necessity, not sentimental yearning, will one day put war under the same control that typhoid fever is in Alabama at this time."
