pression as to MT. Waris position rela tive to Lakeview park. MT. Smith will doubtless recall that shortly after elect ed city attorney, Mr. Ward took him to his office and showed him maps etc.. and gave him other information as to the controversy and advised with him in friendly interest to prosecute the claims of the city, thereby making a reputation by saving the park to the city. Is this not a fact. MT. Smith?
 It is not denied by Drennen that as mayor he has given permission-what- ever authority that is-to a friend of his to sell beer. when, as matter of fact. no such license can be issued. What is the consideration for this spe- eial favor to one saloon over the oth- CTS in Birmingham? Will Mir. Drennen deny this?
 ed the city's claim to ownership and pos session of Lakeview and other parks, and is glad of opportunity to reiterate it.
 The records show that Mir Ward is the author of a resolution calling on the city attorney to enforce the city's claim to all of It's parks. Mir. Drennen- voted to refer this resolution to a committee.
 Mir. Drennen Is late in pretening to have just discovered that MT. Ward was at one time a large stoclSholder In the street railway company. The night the franchise matter was fought out in the board MT. Ward stated that fact In his speech against the franchise and the president of the street railway denied 1t. Has Mir. Drennen ever fought anything he was connected with?
 The president of the street railway company paid high tribute in open coun- ell meeting when he said: MT. Ward would not ride in a golden chariot to heaven if 1t was furnished free by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company
 Mr. Ward will not remit fines on agree ment to secure votes, thereby buying power with the city's money; but always. when justice, mercy or misfortune makes 1t advisable.
 Why did the street railway company pay the poll taxes of many of it's em- ployes? Was 1t done in the interest of Mayor Drennen? What Is the inference The manhood of the companys employees will assert itself and vote for Ward for mayor.
 'Buslness administration" is a very catchy phrase; but has the business end of 1t been to the interests of the property owner and citizens or to Drennen and the machine?
 Drennen neglects to state that the prop erty owner pays 25 per cent more than is used in the work for all Improvements, with per cent interest added, or that they will have to pay for the picturesque parks bought from Behrens and others at fancy prices. Drennen did 1t all until the time for paying up comes-then the people catch it. How much does Drennen pay?
 Referring to a report circulated by Drennen headquarters among the paint CTS, MT. Ward wishes to say that he has never had but one house painted, and that was done by MT. Henry Uhl, who Is a union painter. if

 Representa- tive Theodore Burton of Ohio decided not to be candidate for mayor of Cleveland in the contest against Tom l.. Johnson. While he was being urged for the place friend asked:
 Don't you think you could be elected ?'
 Yes, l think 1 could" answered Bur ton
 Do you know what it means in Ohio to beat Tom Johnson for mayor of Cleve- land?'' he was asked.
 Yes he replied. T fully realize what it means. At first it might mean a step down. Of course, you refer to the fu- ture. At the same time I feel that l was elected to congress by the people of Cleveland and the Great Lake interests, because l could accomplish something for them, and l don't believe I ought to re- tire from congress for another office"

 That Senator Lodge has the confidence of the President Is beyond question. Not only has the senator been MT. Roosevelts 8 close friend for years but since MT Roosevelt became President he has con suited the senator on the great questions that are constantly coming up for de- cislon. The President likes Senator Lodge also because he is a man who. &C., complishes results. Beginning with the present congress Senator Lodge has been very prominnt in the affairs which have come before the senate He had charge of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty which paved the way for isthmian canal legisla- ton. Then as chairman of the Philip pines committee he had charge of two bills of great importance to the islands. one providing a system of revenue and the other for the government of the is- lands. Although the debate has been long drawn out on the statehood bill, it has not been as vigorous nor as extended as that upon these two Philippines bills. It was partisan question and required great care and tact on the part of the senator having the measures in charge Senator Lodge not only showed his skill in manner satisfactory to his own party, but the senators of the opposition spoke in high terms of him. In the pres- ent session he has had much to do, and what he has had in hand was accom-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-03-01

Senatorial courtesy is more than an
 empty sound, Senators are really courte-
 ous and obligng to each other, and even
 go to great lengths to accommodate each
 other. During all the time that the state
 hood bill was under discussion there was scarcely day when a vote on some
 phase of it might not have occurred. and each day Senator Quay never found any difficulty in arranging pairs for absent senators who were on his side of the question. Senators who were earnestly opposed to the omnibus bill would pair with republican senator who was ab- sent. The Pennsylvania senator always looked after these details. He knew when any of his supporters were absent, and he always found a republican who was opposing him willing to protect the ab-
 sentee and accommodate Quay by making
 a pair This Is part of the courtesy of the senate. Let any member be called away or be detained by sickness and re- | quest that a pair be arranged, and 1t is | always granted.
 Speaking of pairs recalls a story that was told of Frank Pettigrew shortly after | he came to the senate from South Da- | kota. In those days he was as strong a | republican as he afterwards became an | "anti." After he had been in the senate | a short time he decided to get a perma- | nent pair. and went over to Wilkinson | Call of Florida. "Call' he said. T want | to arrange general pair with you. | have been looking over the democratic side and have come to the conclusion | that you are one man that will be wrong | on every proposition that will come mp | in the senate and I'll be safe if paired | with you" Call, who was not devoid of | humor. appreciated the remark and made | the pair. And yet before the session was over they were voting together Pettigrew | was one of three republicans who voted
 against the final conference report on the
 Mckinley tarin bill. Plum of Kansas
 and Paddock of Nebraska were the oth- | CTS.
