In speaking of the market yesterday a
representative of a leading interest said
1.-THE pig iron market is considered to be
in a flrmer condition than it was four
weeks ago when prices were ruling at 81
per ton lower. Leading interests here con-
slider that it has not reached as high a
figure as it will go. There is already a
scarcity of some grades and the heavy
purchases by large buyers has produced
a healthy condition
The advance of 25 cents yesterday Is
the fourth time within a month that a
similar advance has been made in the
local market. thus bringing the price of
iron now to 81 more than it was a month
ago.

CAMPAIGN WILL
OPEN NEXT WEEK
thorough Canvass of County
to be Made by Democrats
ELECTION ONLY MONTH OFF
1t Is Believed That Jefferson Is Over.
whelmingly In Favor Of Consti-
stutional Convention, and the
Sentiment is Growing.

The campaign for the Constitutional
convention, which occurs on April %, will
open up In this county next week The
managers of the campaign expect to
make a thorough canvass Of jefferson
County, prominent speakers being billed
for nearly every precinct in the county.
Chairman Robert H. Thach of the JEFF
ferson County Democratic Executive
Committee stated to an Age-Herald re-
porter yesterday that he expected to take
the matter up in few days, or as soon
as he catches up with his private bust
ness matters and gets them in shape. On
account of the Democratic campaign
prior to the primary election and the
county and State conventions of last
week and the week before, in all OF
which he took a leading interest his pri-
vate business affairs were more or less
NEGLECTED and 1t will require several
days in which to get these Strengthened
out.
Only a Month of.
The State election for a Constitutional
convention is but one month from yester-
day and in order to make a thorough
canvass of the county it will be necessary
for the Democrats to get to Work at
once. The Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis who oppose the holding of con-
vention have not been idle in recent
weeks, but have prepared for an active
canvass of the county. The Republicans
put out a county ticket last week and 1t
is announced that the nominees will
stump the county against the convention.
Leading Democrats believe that Jeffer-
son County is overwhelmingly in favor
of a new constitution for the State, and
that they will so vote on April %. No
chances will be taken, however, but
speakers and workers will go out among
the people and urge them to support the
DEMOCRATIC nominees and to vote for the
convention.
Strong Men Nominated.
The nominees of the Democrats for del
egates from this. county to the constitu-
tional convention are all prominent and
popular men. They represent every in
terest in the County and are broad-mind-
ed and progressive and able. They will
take rank with the greatest men in that
body if the people of Alabama vote to
hold a constitutional convention, which
now seems almost a certainty
Sentiment in favor of the convention is
growing in every section of the State
since the Depocratic convention met last
week and put out ticket of able men
and adopted a platform pledging the con-
vention to submit the constitution framed
by it to a vote of the people. The weekly
press of the State issued after the con-
vention adjourned has approved its ac-
ton without exception and from now un-
til the day of the election will advocate
the Democratic ticket and the convention
with all their power and influence.

GUARANTORS OF
MUSIC FESTIVAL
The List Of Citizens Who Have
Subscribed to the
Fund.

When the public spirited citizens of
the needed guarantee fund for the third
annual music festival Benjamin Quicken
chorus together and began the work of
rehearsal and today he has the largest
and best trained body of Aslngers ever
heard in this part of the country.
The chorus has mastered the elijah
music to be sung on the opening night
of the festival, April 80, and has almost
learned to the point OF finish the music
to be sung on the second night-Wag-
ner and Grieg. There will be a full re-
hearsal tomorrow night.
The first festival, which was held in
1899, cost only abou $500 The second,
held last spring, was more expensive,
and the forthcoming event will be the
most expensive of ALL but it will proba-
bly, be the most successful financially. It
will certainly be the greatest from an
artistic point of view, for Theodore
Thomas is to supply the orchestral music
and with Thomas come five or six emf
nent vocalists and two solo instrument
talists.
The GuarMtors.
The guarantee fund for the festival
amounts to little over $4,000. Following is

The Colorado Springs Gazette q
staunch republican Newspaper published
by Hon. l. N. Stevens, in a recent editor
ial commented on th- shaking up now
beng gwen the federal of1ce.holdsr
political machine Of this state, as follows:
"For several weeks succeeding the
late county elections the Gazette SINGLE
handed and alone has made vigorous
fight against the obnoxious and perni-
clous activity Of federal officeholders in
Republican political affairs in Colorado,
Its fret editorials we're laughed II
and ridiculed by those federal officials
who occupied positions as chairmen and
members Of central committees and such
chairmen declared that they would not
pay the slightest attention to any re-
quest for their sVns;ions. Both
Chairman Ford and Chairman Bailey
rushed into PRINT IN Denver paper and
by the most emphatic language which
they could commend they assured the
public that they would never. never re.
sign their party chairmanships.
But the Gazette was not content to
merely denounce the odious activity OF
the federal officehold-rs in Colorado. We
realized that one Of the factors Of defeat
in the state last year was this same per.
nicious activity OF federal ofiicisls and
the result IN Arapshoe county at the
late election demonstrated most clearly
that the Republican party could never
bs successful until the federal Office
holders cease their dictation OF party
affairs.
With that end In view the Gazette SIX
weeks ago proceeded to set the matter
clearly before the president aud the
members Of his cabinet. Fortunately
the presiden, is man who will prompt
y correct abuses Of this nature when
they are brought TO his attention. and
there 10 no question about tho orders
which have been issued from Washing
ton during the past two weeks com.
manding federal officcholders to keep
hands of Of party management being
the direct result Of the fight made by
the Gazette and those patriotic c,tizsns
who supported it BY personal interviews
with, and letters to, the president. 1t is
universally conceded In Washington
that such Is the case and Senator Scot,
and others complain that the vigor OF
our fight in Colorado has deprived them
Of much assistance in West Virginia
from federal siliceholders. who were cor-
siderate enough TO keep within proper
bounds in their political activity.
As sequence to the work OF the
Gazette. the resigaations Of Chairmen
Ford and Bailey and other party officials
have been rendered and the party com
mit,res have now M opportunity N
select chairmsn from aon holding mem.
bers Of the party. The Gazette sincere
ly hopes such wise selections shali bs
made ss shall rebound to tho benefit Of
the party in the entire state"
