JUDGE STRATTON
 TO OPEN CAMPAIGN
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR CONFERS WITH THE LEADERS OF THE PARTY-DiS- cUssEs ISSUES OF CONTEST.

Judge Asa E. Stratton of Montgomery, who was recently nominated for gover- nor of Alabama in a mass convention of republicans held at Birmingham, was m the city yesterday and discussed the poli- tical situation in the state. Judge Strat- ton seems to be pleased with the chances for success in rolling up a credtabe vote In the state and announced that he will make thorough canvass during the cam paign.
 Judge Stratton together with the other candidates named by the mass convention will return to Birmingham next Tues day for a conference with the state re- publican campaign committee which was appointed by State Chairman Julius w. Davidson a few days ago anI which will hold its first meeting in Birmingham next Tuesday. It is said that all the nominees of the party will attend the meeting.
 A chairman is to be elected at this meet ing and arrangements made for the open ing of campaign headquarters in Bir- mingham from which place the campaign will be conducted
 It is said that some of the republican nominees will challenge the democratic candidates for joint debate and it is dn- nouneed that some of the best republican speakers will be put in the field especial- ly In tie counties where local candidates cIa m chances of election.
 In discrssing the republican situation in t1e state Judge Stratton sail. q came up to consult with republicans , about the campaign to be made on behalf of the republican state ticket, and to arrange for that campaign. The republi- cans in Alabama, do not believe in the Bryan-Hearst idea if railroad ownership, by either the national or state govern ment, and they thought 1t wise, and op- perfume at this time to put ticket in the field, so as to keep their own forces aligned and also to provide . place for those democrats-and there are many of them in Alabama-who do not believe in the socialistic tendency of their own party.
 Besides this, all minority parties in any state is bound to disintegrate unless they have q ticket to vote for. [. is feared, because of the policy of do- nothing that many republicans in Ala bama strayed off, and voted in the doni- ocratic primary. It is dangerous 10 sim ply trust to luck for party growth. W)rK and a ticket are necessary at each cleo ton. The young men of the couatry, since objectionable conditions have passed away In the south. are looking to the repub;i- can party for affilation. Aecrrits 10 re- pubicanlsm not only in Alabama, but In the south, will be plentiful in the fu- ture, if an opportunity is afforded them to vote the ticket.
 '1 shall more formally address the re- publicans of the state in few days. The ticket has been legally put in the field, and it is simply up to all republicans to vote the ticket-or not-as they may feel inclined. My information is that the great majority will do so-in fact practically a unanirous slrlort of the ticket"

NEW WAREHOUSE IS
 NEAR COMPLETION
THE INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY OF AMERICA MOVES STATE HEADQUARTERS TO BlR- NGHAM-AGENT TALKS.

The large warehouse that is being erect ed at Twenty-fourth street and Ninth avenue, north, by the International liar vester company of America. is nearing completion and will be occupied by No vember l.
 The building IS of brick and covers an area of 125 by 100 feet. It will be three stories high. The structure is for the ac- commodation of the general agency of Alabama which was recently moved to this city from Montgomery.
 The business of the International Harvester company in Alabama was in- creasing very rapidly and the officers were unable to secure adequate quarters in Montgomery for the accommodation of the trade.
 Birmingham has been selected for state headquarters on account of better ship ping advantages and as offering a better opportunity for reaching the con sumer. In discussing the removal of the state headuarters to Birmingham E. NJ. Dimon, general state agent, yesterday, said:
 We hope to have our new building ot
  completed during this month and we will occupy 1t with the offices and business of the International Harvester Company of America about November l.
 We have maintained state headuarters in Alabama for three years and the business has grown very rapidly. We were forced to seek larger quarters and failing to find the room needed in Mont gcmer.'. and Birn1ihghdrn offering several other advantages that do not exist at Montgomery we decided to come to this city.
 '"rhe new building will give us ample room for our increasing business and the advantages in shipping from this district will enable us to extend our operations. Here we have practically three lines of railroads from Chicago
 "The farmers of Alabama and the south are taking more and more to the use of improved machinery on the farm and this fact is encouraging. With im- proved implements the farmers are en- abed to cultivate more acres and thereby increase the volume of products at less cost and greater ease.
 Our offices in the new building will be handsomely furnished and convenient ly appointed. Our warerooms and sales departments will be commodious and at tractive."

slow to perceive and follow their duty even with respect to the former.
 Value of Soft Water.
 ''It is surprising that our railway com panies have only in recent years awaken ed to a realization of the advantages of a soft water for use in locomotive boilers, considering how they. were daily forced to meet the losses due to hard unsuitable waters, although the softening process had been known for half century. The railway companies have, however, in re- cent years been calling into their service many young men from our universities who have been trained to think, and to this fact may be due more than has here tofore been acknowledged the improve ment noted in railway practice.
 Illustrating the Saving.
 "An anecdote here will illustrate the point to be emphasized. It concerns a woolen factory said to have been located somewhere in Michigan. For years the proprietor used in washing his wool an extremely hard surface water, but pres ently. for the comfort of his operatives, developed an artesan supply which proved cool, abundant and soft. He. however. continued to wash his wool with the hard surface water until some bright com mercial traveller. in passing through the works, suggested the obvious change in method, which, when made, in a few months saved, in cost of soap required enough to pay the whole expense of drill ing the well and a considerable sum in ad- dition. The commercial traveller after wards, in relating his observation and experience as above outlined, was asked by some listener. how he accounted for the obtuseness of the manufacturer, to which he replied. "Oh, he was one of those western hustlers and didn't have time to think"
 Technical Graduate.
 It may be noted as a promising sign of the times that in the management and op- eration of our water works the technical graduate is increasingly in evidence, that he has been trained to take time to think and this sign is harbinger of good for the future of municipal water works de- velopment."

EFFECTS OF GULF STORM

E. D. Smith of Columbia. S. C.. field agent for the Southern Cotton assoca- ton. arrived in Birmingham yesterday from Atlanta. He came here for the pur pose of meeting the committee of finance of the association appointed at the Hot Springs convention September G. which met al the Morris hotel. The business of the meeting was not made public.
 MT. Smith has just completed an ltiner- ary of the cotton belt Regarding cond- tions of the cotton crop he said; "I find in North Carolina and South Carolina that the conditions were far below those of last year
 Prom the very best source of informa- tion, such as bankers merchants and farmers. the crop in North Carolina pre- vious to the storm of September r and to- days frost, was estimated to be 25O,0 bales short of last years crop South Carolina, with the same condition, pO0C0 Yunder last year, and Georgia the same; Alabma was estimated to be $250000 short, making the total under last year for these four states about 1,25OOO0 bales of cot ton.
 Tn Arkansas the outlook previous to the gulf storm was for 10 to 15 per cent increase over last year; in Mississippi the outlook was for at least 5oo,oOo bales in- crease over last year; in Louisiana from 250,000 to 300,000 bales increase over last year; in Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas the outlook was for from one half to three-quarter million increase over last year, making the total estimated in- crease west of the river over the decrease east of 1t something like a quarter of a million

Water Works Paper.

Below is the report of the committee on water works and water supply, by Julian Griggs. chairmn, consulting engi- neer, Columbus, O.:
 Tn noting the signs of the times in the matters of water supply and water works, your committee sees no dfminutlon of the trend toward public as against private ownership of these utilities, which has been so decided in recent years Doubtless an array of statistics to show this trend by tables or by curves would be of some interest to the engineering profession, but the committee have gath cred us such data; it has been contended with listing a few of the obvious tenden- cies of the present for the purpose of marking time which is one of the func- tinns of convention
