THE FEELING GROWS.

There is evidence every day of the
growing popularity OF the President
especially in the south. Much of the
hostility shown towards him before
the election was due of course to
politics, but that election was an
eye-opener. The southern people are
finding out that he is one of their
best friends. and those who have met
him have found him anything but
the kind of man he has been pictured
TO them.
One of those who has found out
his mistake is the mayor of Birming-
ham, Ala, a lifelong democrat, and
a man who has few superiors in the
councils of his party in Alabama.
Mayor William Drennen has just re-
turned from Washington. where he
saw for himself. He is back home,
and this is what he says to the south
and the whole world;
We've got a man up yonder in
