Mr.. Hagerman, chairman of the

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET

Like the mountain of old the Repub
licans labored yesterday and while
they did not bring forth a mouse,
they brought forth the next thing
to it-only a small part of a ticket.
Nominations were made only for
Commissioner of the Third District,
Sheriff and Probate Judge. Their
leaders freely admitted that it would
be useless to make any farther noml-
nations. and there is little doubt but
at the same time they secretly admit
ted that it was just as useless 20
make these three nominations, 50
far as any hope of election is con
cerned. To maintain a party organi-
cation it was necessary to make
some nominations, and as out of all
the Republicans in the county only
three men were found who were will
ing to sacrifice themselves, these
men were gladly allowed to- make the
C and choose the offices for which
they believed themselves qualified
to fill. Herbert Hagerman thought
he would make a good Commissioner,
K. G. Woodruff rather liked the Office
of Sheriff, and Karl Snyder has a Il
dicial turn Of mind, so he decided
to run for Probate Judge. The re
suit in November will be just the
same as if they had run for any 9th
err offices on the ticket. The 0nly
qualification that these gentlemen
will get out of the campaign will be
that they also ran" Running is a
good exercise, and if they do not he
come hypnotized in the belief that
foolishly spend their time and money
there will be little harm to anyone
in their running.
1t is not supposed that any of these
gentlemen have the remotest nope
of election. If so, their political in
nocence is to be pitied. This county
is overwhelmingly Democratic. The
three gentlemen nominated are good
citizens, but there is no reason in
the world why any Democrat should
vote for them in preference to his
own candidates. And not more thar
a few Democrats will. The willing
ness of these three gentlemen to sac
rifice themselves for their party is
to be commended, but like the goat
that once tried to throw a locomotive
off the track their judgment must
be pitied.

and Tennessee road" the road from Ca
lera TO Decatur. Stevenson had been
president OF the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga road and still was deeply inter-
ested in Cha ttanooga. He wanted to stop
the South and North road, leading out
from Montgomery, at Red Mountain, at
the point where that road ntersected the
Alabama and Chattanooga In other
words, he was opposed to the completion
of the gap of sixty-seven miles between
Birmingham and Decatur for the reason
that he wished to secure to Chattanooga
the position Of distributing center of the
forthcoming trade of the mineral region
of Alabama; and also he proposed to try
to command the cotton business of Mont
gomery from Chattanooga.
This scheme of Banker Stevenson was
heartily backed by J. c. Stanton, who
was not only the practical owner of the
Alabama and Chattanooga, but the prac-
teal owner of the military legislature of
Alabama Stanton had built great ho-
tel at Chattanooga and invested largely
in real estate there. The funds for all
this, 1t is claimed by the records of Ala
bama, were derived from sale of state
bonds
If Stevenson and Sage forced payment
of their holding of the bonds OF the
road from Calera to Decatur the gap
of sixty-seven miles would never be buff.
