Republican Campaign Book Ready.

Former Postmaster General Smith has prepared a campaign book for the use of the republican party this year. It will be circulated, 1t Is said, to the extent of million copies From Lincoln to Roosevelt, or Why I Am a Republican, is the title The book is supposed to be history of the party and its achieve ments arranged in chronological form. The book is thoroughly typical of repub- lican campaign documents ascribing to the republican party all the good which has come to the country In the last fifty years.
 Some of the achievements" claimed for the republican party In the book are humorous. For instance: May, 1856, Charles Sumner, the great republican leader from Massachusetts, beaten over the head with a cane In the senate cham Der by Congressman Preston s. Brooks of South Carolina" December, 1857, the Thirty-flfth congress meets with a dem ocratic majority October, 1871, Chica- go partly destroyed by the greatest fire in modern times"

Boston, May S.-Contrary to what had been deemed probable. general strike of all union bakers in New England was not ordered at the convention of the Massa- chusetts state branch of the bakery and confectionery workers held today. The sentiment of the convention seemed to be opposed to drastic action at this time. The matter of ordering a general strike in order to prevent Firms outside of Boston from supplying goods to those bakeries in this city. against which a strike has been declared. was left to the executive committee of the Massachusetts state branch.

 Governor Cunningham Talks.
 Regarding his own intentions anent the democratic nomination next time Lieutenant Governor Cunningham said in substance, on Saturday: "I am not al- together certain whether I will offer or not. There is plenty of time and I want to be sure of myself before l say posi- lively what I will do." Nothing further than this could be secured from the genial doctor. though he seemed willing to discuss that or any other line of state political gossip. The doctor is very cautious in everything he does. A state house official says that even in the small est matters he goes exhaustively into in- vestgation. This caused the postpone ment of the appointment of an assistant mine inspector on Saturday. Everybody thought he was ready, and Private Sec retary Jackson told the reporters in the morning they should have the announce ment by noon. But the doctor found something he was not satisfied with and held 1t up until Tuesday.

AT LOSS
 OF F [, SHEPARD Is Exceedingly Popular In
 Montgomery GOSSIP ABOUT SUCCESSION Talk of Candidacy for Nomination for Governor = Cunningham Will
 Not Commit Himself on
 the Subject.
GOSSIP ABOUT SUCCESSION
BY HERvEY W. LAIRD.

Montgomery, May s.-(Special) )-There Is widespread regret in oMntgomery over the transfer of General Freight Agent F. c. Shepard of the Louisville and Nash- vile, who will leave the city Tuesday to assume his new duties. He has been as- signed to owensboro, Ky, where he will be general freight agent of the Owens boro and Nashville division.
 MT. Shepard came to Montgomery June l. 1895, from the general agency of the Louisville and Nashville at New Orleans. In 18S1-2 he was a train dispatcher in Birmingham going from there to Pensa- cola. MT. Shepard has been a leader in every good work in Montgomery. As president of the Y. M. c. A. he has done unselfsh service, and his official post in the local Presbyterian church will be hard to fill
 Quite a number of his friends have made efforts to induce him to remain in the city, entering some other line of work and there would be a great deal of rejoicing if he should decide to do so.
 DeFuniak and Conner.
 The transfer of MT. Shepard will bring Ernest A. deFuniak of Birmingham to the Capital City. This has been told al- ready and is ancient history. but the prospects of harmony between him and D. B. Conner, when the latter becomes president of the state railroad commits sion next fall, Is a matter for surmise.. No opponent of MT. Conner in the race for the democratic nomination for the place was more active than MT. deFuniak. So decided were his services In this con- nection in fact that the two gentlemen came to blows In an election booth on the day of the primary and had to be sepa- rated by friends. Many seem to think that the circumstances are unfortunate, to say the least; others see no prospect of trouble. Those In the latter class are in the majority, too. They contend that both are too broad-minded to allow this to make any difference in their relations to each other in a business way and that no harm can possibly fall to interests represented by either because of the un- pleasantness.
 Conner for Governor
 Whoever Is now being discussed or groomed for the democratic nomination to succeed Governor Jelks it Is very cer- tain that two men are to be reckoned with, the present lieutenant governor, acting executive, and B. B. Conner suc- cessful candidate for the democratic nom- nation for president of the State railroad commission. The correspondent of The Age-Herald talked on Saturday with the president of one of the largest business concerns in the city and found him de- cidedly of the opinion that Conner would be in the race. And we'll elect him, too," he very emphatically remarked.

THE COMMITTEE
VISITS JEROME
ROuSing Tunnel Meet
ing Held Saturday.
Jerome Citizens Thoroughly Appre-
Ciate the Great Importance of
Proposed Black Hills Tunnel.

The Prescott Black Hills tunnel
committee, accompanied by W. F. P.
Fogg, visited Jerome on Saturday and
attended a meeting of the business
men of that place on Saturday. The
meeting was held in the town council
chamber, and was presided over by
Mayor q. W. Hull and was attended
by representative business men of the
town.
While those present had heard of
the projected enterprise it was out
lined to them in detail by an address
delivered by Mr.. Fogg and they ex-
pressed themselves as being in favor
of it and pledged their support to
it in every way possible. Several ad-
dresses were made in reference to the
enterprise by the citizens of Jreome as
we'll as by the visiting committee in
which the advantages we're fully
shown forth and the reasonable pros
pect of the success of the enterprise
touched on.
Before the meeting adjourned the
chairman was authorized to appoint a
committee of ten citizens of Jerome,
which committee should have author
ity to appoint a sub committee to
meet a sub committee from the Pres
colt committee and visit the Black
Hills section and go over the ground
thoroughly.
The visit could scarcely have been
more satisfactory or successful, al
though the entire population of
Jerome we're at the time engrossed in
the Forthcoming Fourth of July cele-
bration.
The advantage of the direct traffic
communication between the two
places, which the consummation of the
enterprise would secure was seen at a
glance. At The same time Jerome is
interested in the mineral development
of the Black Hills range of noun
taIns and would realize great benefits
in this direction 10y the building of
the tunnel.
Mr.. Fogg seems to have struck a
popular chord IN the public with his
mammoth enterprise and instead of
people now expressing any doubt as to
its feasibility or the probable financial
success, they express wonder that
some one did not think of this years
ago.

Dancing was kept up most Of the
day in the new dancing pavilion, the
music being furnished by an orchestra
from Jerome.
A band had been organized few
DAYS ago among the miners at jerome,
and although they had only practiced
few days they played several Of the
national and popular airs during the
day and did we'll under the circum-
stances.
Ed Shumate was not able to be on
the grounds in person and j. P. Dill
loE took charge of the place for him
and it is said that the day was one Of
the most profitable ones for the resort
of the season, everybody present
seeming to have plenty money to
spend and they spent it freely.
