To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
Attention of the people is again called
to the calamity threatening Jefferson
county. So far only one candidate for
the legislature has had the courage to
came out and announce publicly that he
will fight and vote against any bill look
Ing to Acknowledgement. Unless each cam
didate does likewise the people have a
right to assume that he is not opposed
to the division, or that he is more inter-
ested in his own success than In the
eounty's good and is trying to fool both
Bessemer and the rest of the county by
straddlng.
If the first is known 1t is a sure thing
none of them will ever get to Montgomery
from Jefferson county. If the second is
true, Jefferson county does not want
such men there to represent her. This
Is one occasion where leaders, not strad-
dlers or politicians will be selected.
1t is notorious fact that the Bessemer
politicians have sent delegations to every
public gathering for fifteen years solely
with the object of trading off any princi-
pie or policy liable to show up on condi-
ton they got help and promises towards
providing themselves a new county court
house full of fat Jobs.

and then has issued it systematically in

1t is not generally known that they kept
a representative hanging around Mont
gomery throughout the whole session of
the constitutional convention at a cost
of over $1,000, who's sole mission was by
hook or crook to get Bessemer county
clipped into that instrument.
Some years ago with the aid of a
divided delegation. they succeeded In get
ting the bill through both houses of the
legislature, but the county was saved
by Governor Jones veto.
Her only hope now is again dividing
the delegation.
To that end 1t Is understood three or
four men will get her Single shot vote"

four might as we'll get out and hustle

He will get none from Bessemer and he

Twenty-fourth street and Immediately
the bricks commenced flying.
The Dowell woman secured pistol and

greatly terrified over the shooting, but

might have made. This section of the
city is one of the worst, and there are
frequent rows and scraps.

LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS.
Action Against an Elective Railroad
Commission.

At a regular meeting of Division 1856,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
held on Sunday. August II. in their hall
at Birmingham. the following resolu-
lions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, There is now being waged
against the railroads of the state a fight
on the railroad commission of the state,
which we think is not only unjust to the
railroads but very dangerous to all rail-
road employees; and whereas, we deem 1t
our duty to ourselves and cur friends to
do what we can to defeat those who are
leading and making this fight against us;
and whereas, we feel that we can now
call upon our friends to assist Us, and
that those of them who are interested In
our welfare will listen to our call. there
fore be 1t
Resolved by District 156, Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, as follows:
l. That we will, as an order and indi-
vidually, do all in our power to defeat
the election of a railroad commission for
the state of Alabama and allow the law
In this respect to remain as 1t Is.
e. We respectfully call upon our friends,
our merchants, our landlords and all
others with whom we deal to assist US
now In this matter We feel that In this
we are asking for their support not alone
for our good, but also for theirs; that 1t
Will be of mutual benefit to all of us.
g. That the interests OF the wholesale
dealers en- Morris avenue are not our In
tetests, nor our families interests, nor
the interests of the retail men with whom
we deal, nor the interests of our land
lords, and that any assistance given
them is really an injury to all Of US.
A. We also specially request all wage
esrners in this county to give this matter
serious consideration end say whether or
not they are willing to keep those OF US
who are, like themselves. wage-earners.
or whether they will keep the wholesale
dealers on Morris avenue. In this city. II
they consider the matter, which we
earnestly request, we have no doubt as
to their action.
s. Resolved further, That the papers In
this city are hereby requested to publish
these resolutions fo- us. T. s. POUND.

POLITICAL CLUB
FOR YOUNG VOTERS
PLANS ON FOOT FOR oReANIZA-
TON OF YOUNG MEN INTO A
STRONG BODY FOR CITY AND
STATE ELECTIONS.

Plans are on foot for the organization
mingham for the purpose of taking an
active hand In the city elections, which
will be held next spring, and In county
and state elections In the future. Several
prominent young Democrats are interest
ing themselves in the movement and 1t
will be brought to a focus before the ac-
tive work of the city campaign COM
mences.
These young men have never taken ar
organized interest in the city or state
campaigns. and they believe that IL the
organization is started on the right basis
and the members hold together the club
can be made a power in political circles.
Several persons have been spoken OF in
connection with the offices In the club,
among the other names mentioned being
that of city Attorney Ed d. Smith for
chairman. He Is active In politics and is
thoroughly familiar with state and city
politics. and 1t is thought he would make
a good officer
Those back of the movement point to
the fact that Montgomery, Atlanta and
many other cities have strong orga1iza-
lions of this kind, and that the young
men are able to control enough votes to
elect a certain percentage of young men
to important positions. They claim that
no city or state government without
young men IN 1t Is progressive.
1t Is pI obable a call will be issued for
meeting as soon as the state campaign is
over and politics have settled down to
their normal condition.
