lT would be amusing, if ii were not
80 pitiful to note the very earnest
manner in which the democrats are
trying.to make themselves believe
that to Senator Newlands really be-
longs the homer of the passage of the
Irrigation Law instead of Congress-
man Mondell. They are rather late
in making this claim. They should
have filed a bill Of particulars IA long
time ago. But this is in keeping
with the entire record of the party
for the past 80 years. They are now
laying claim TO all the beneficial
measures passed by the republican
party during forty years Of conges-
sional Legislation, and have even laid
unholy hands upon our great repub-
lican rulers, claiming them to ha We
always been good democrats. Gent
lemen your claims are too thin.

OPTIMISM IN THE
 DEMOCRATIC RANKS
CONGRESSMAN BURNETT SAYS PARTY IS MUCH ENCOURAGED BY REPUBLICAN sTRIFE-Is ON WAY TO MONTGOMERY

Congressman John L. Burnett of the Seventh congressional district arrived in Birmingham last night from Attalla, where he delivered the literary address at the closing exercises of the public schools, He is registered at the Metro politan. Mir. Burnett Is on his way to attend the state convention at Montgom- cry as a member of the Etowah delega- tion
 When asked about politics MT Burnett said that he found Washington quiet and there was little talk of presidential cadi- dates among the democrats. MT. Bur nett left the capital Sunday and says that politicians were rather scarce at that time. However. he spoke to several prominent men. including Chairman Cow herd of the congressional committee. and says that a very optimistic feeling pre- vails, as a result of the republican strife fin various parts of the country.
 Mir. Burnett said he thought that there would be little excitement at Montgomery today, and so far as he was concerned he would take no active part IF the pro- ceedlngs. He said that he was inclined to believe that the Parker spirit was very strong in the state and thought tho New York jurist would be endorsed by the convention. although personally he would be satisfied with either Parker or Mcclellan.
 Sentiment In many of the southern states is strong for Parker but on ae- count of the two-thlrds rule In the dem- ocrahc national convention and the op- position of the Tammany forces there was no telling who would be nominated although MT. Burnett did not think that Hearst stood much chance to carry the convention.
 Congressman Burnett will leave today for Montgomery and tomorrow will return to Pell City. where he expects to spend several days. From there he will go back to Montgomery, where he will at tend the session of the state supreme court. He stated that he expected to spend most of his vacation until con- gress reconvenes in the state, although he would be constantly on the move.
 MT. Burnett is enjoying fine health and is quite busy looking after the affairs oi his constituents.

Boys Enjoy Picnic.

cullman, May A.-(Special)--The St. Bernard College boys enjoyed their cus- tomary and anxiously looked forward to May Day picnic at Joppa on Monday, and the occasion was one on which their re- alization of pleasure fully justified their anticipation. The beauty of the weather, the keen interest taken in the baseball game in which they easily defeated the Joppa boys by a score of to 8 in five innings. notwithstanding the handicap of poor grounds, to which they were un- accustomed, all combined to make the day one that will no doubt be looked back to with pleasure by most of the boys for years to come.

GOOD PROGRESS IS
 NOW BEING MADE Campaign tor Local Taxation Making Rapid Headway REPORTS ARE FAVORABLE Large Part of County Has Been Can vassed and There Is No opposl-
 tion-EIection Officers
 to Be Chosen.
REPORTS ARE FAVORABLE

About June 1 the managers, clerks and returning officers are to be chosen for the special local taxation election. which has been ordered by the Board of Rev enue for June 2O The election of off, cers are to be selected by Probate Judge J. P. Stiles, Sheriff Andrew w. Burgin and Clerk of the Circuit Court Walter K. McAdory. Under the law the off, cials cannot be selected earlier than twenty days before the election
 The committee appointed to carry on the campaign for local taxation for the public schools of the county report much progress already in the movement. A large part of the county has been can vassed in the interest of the issue, and so far no opposition has developed. In the rural as well as the town and city districts all of the voters and tax payers are said to be in favor of 1t. The work ingmen of the county, about SO,oOO strong are said to be in favor of the move- ment as a unit, and are doing all in their power to carry the day. The campaign committee. of which D. K. Campbell and Henry B. Gray are the managers, will probably call upon the pastors union of Birmingham to ask all of the ministers of the gospel to use their influence towards local taxation for the scshools.
 The entire campaign is being conduct- ed from the headquarters of the commit tee on the seventh floor of the First Ma tional bank building. Secretary Sande- fur is at the headquarters at all times, and for the past few days has been busy sending out lItters to prominent tax payers of the county relative to the com ing election. He has employed a stenog- rapher.
 Managers Campbell and Gray are at headouarters often for the purpose or instructing relative to the details of the campaign It is hardly probable that the committee of one hundred appointed to carry on the campaign will hold meeting they being appointed more as advisers than campaigners
 The appearances now are that 1t will only be a matter of how large the ma iority will be in favor of local taxation, when the votes are counted on the night of the election.
 Yancey l.. Senn, a member Of the com mittee of one hundred from East Lake, reports that so far no opposition to the issue has as yet developed. He predicted that 1t would carry by large majority at his town. Similar reports are being received from Bessemer, Pratt City, Ens- ley, Avondale, Woodlawn and other towns in the county.
 Birmingham will go overwhelmingly for local taxation.
