Deny That Money Passed
Regarding the charge that Doodle was
mixed up in the endorsement the following
statement was given out by a committee
of the German-American Union:
To the Citizens of Birmingham:
The undersigned committee Of the Ger
man-American union replying to the
charges in The Age-Herald to the effect
that there was monetary consideration
from Mr.. Drennen for the endorsement of
him as candidate for mayor by said I'M
ion, we desire to say that there was no
consideration monetary or otherwise from
Mr.. Bremen or any one else given or
promised to the union or it's committee for
said endorsement.
The German-American union has from

many other candidates for local officers,
among them Hon. A. o. Lane for mayor,
hon. FRANK v. EVANS IOT mayor, captain
Frank P. O'Brien for sheriff, Fergus W.
Mccarthy, Esq, for clerk of the circuit

What Mr.. Drennen and his supporters
think of the allegations, no one knows, but
themselves. They have nothing to give out
for publication.
At both Smith and Parker headquarters
every one was tickled to death. They had
nothing further to say and seemed to view
the whole affair in the light that it would
rebound to their good

ONE DAY IN CITY CAMPAIGN
CITY COMMITTEE MEETS
WITHOUT Mr.. MONTGOMERY
So GERMANS REPUDIATE
AC TON OF THE UNION

tne committee ana given out LOT puoifSo-
ton:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense of this
committee that the city primary shall
be conducted in every respect fairly and
honestly. and that each candidate shall
have fair and equal representation In
each box, and that the managers clerks,
and other persons connected with the
management of said primary, shall be
men of high character and men in whom
all candidates and people will have con-
fidenee, and that such steps shall be
taken and such safeguards thrown
around said primary, as will prevent re-
peating and all other fraud, and fur
ther, that 1t is the sense of this COM
mittee that the result of this primary
shall be fair and correct expression
of the will of the white democratic vot-
ers of Birmingham.
I'VE are endeavorng to get up what will
be in every respect a fair primary for all
the candidates." said Chairman Gregg, CT
the subcommittee, last night. Although
the plan has not yet been fully outlined,
most of its provisions have been determined
upon.
VIII Provide for Registration
hN pan VIII PioNldS iot d IS6iS dtloH
of voters in the city. one registration place
being provided in each ward. The regis
trars are to be appointed by sub-commt-
tee of three, which will have in charge the
carrying out of the plan which we outline
This committee will be composed of repre-
sentatives of each of the three mayoralty
candidates.
I'VE estimate that the expense of the
amount will be raised by assessing the
candidates. Mayoralty candidates will be
assessed 500 each, and each of the candi-
dates for places on the board of aldermen
and on the police commission will, have to
pay SIS each.
'As usual, there will be polling place in
each of the nine wards of the city. The
subcommittee of three mentioned above is
to appoint the officers who will have charge
of the boxes, from lists submitted to them
by each of the candidates Each candidate
for mayor is to submit list of not less
than five men for each box from which the
three managers will be selected. Each
candidate for alderman will hand in lists
of men who he is willing shall represent
him at the polls, and from these lists two
clerks for each box sail be selected. The
committee will also select a good return
ing officer, who viii be agreeable, as nearly
as possible, to all the candidates.
Under the Pettus Law
Eyes, this primary will be held under the
new Pettus primary election law. The most
important changes will be that each official
is required to take an oath similar to that
administered to officers in the general e,ec-
lions, that the sheriff is empowered to have
a sufficient number of deputies on hand to
successfully quell all disturbances that no
barrooms shall be opened or liquors sold on
the day preceding or on the day of the
primary. Neither can liquor be given
away. OF course, there are several other
provisions that will affect the primary,
but not important ones"
