POSTMASTERS HERE
 TO TALK POLITICS
DAVIDSON THINKS NEED FOR TWO POLITICAL PARTIES IN ALABAMA NEVER GREATER. TRUSTS TO RoUT AND FILE.

"In my opinion the large gathering of presidential postmasters, now assembled in Birmingham. is purely for political purposes" said Julius W. Davidson, chairman of the state executive commit tee of the Davidson faction of republ- cans in Alabama last night While many of them are my personal friends I do not think they should dictate the policy of the party in this state. The voters should be consulted. They have heretofore been too often ignored.
 "As the days go by I am more con- vinced than ever, if possible, that it is absolutely necessary that there should be two strong parties in Alabama A re- publican party, commanding and demand ing the respect and confidence of the business and conservative people of the state will soon bring about a condition of affairs that will better the condition of the citizens of the state and in all walks of life The history of the world shows that no people or nation has ever reached the highest state of civilization when one party controls without opposi- tion the destiny of the people. The dominant faction of the democratic party of Alabama has become self-opinionated. The opinion of this element asserts itself as law, regardless of the wishes of the people who placed them in power. Wheth- CT or not the pledges made in the dem ocartic platform have been carried out must be answered by every voter in the next election. A strong state ticket will be placed in the field and every elec- ton, whether it be municipal, state, coun- ty or otherwise will be strongly con tested. The effort made last year to dis band the party proved futile and prae- tically 10000 patriotic republicans rallied to the support of the state ticket after 1t was announced that they had no right to place a ticket in the field. This is conservative force to be reckoned with in the state of Alabama. Many business men are not only willing but anxious to align themselves with the party in the state as matter of preservation of their business interests"

fident that they will carry off victory. The High school boys have not been beaten this year. and only one team has scored against them at all, though every aggregation which they have played has outweghed them. The local boys are as fast as lightning and have several new trick plays that are winners.
 Taken comparatively, the High school and Marions are just about evenly matched. In the matter of weight, Ma rion is superior, but in feetness the High school has the advantage One ad- vantage very nearly offsets the other, thus making the outcome of the battle very doubtful indeed. About the only real advantage the High school has Is that of home grounds and the crowd.
 The rivalry between the two teams IS great, and both will strive hard to gain the victory In preceding years Marion has whipped the High school. but they have played at home. The Birmingham boys hope to rub it in on the visitors this trip. A good game is assured, and a great crowd is expected to turn out for the contest at 3:50 this afternoon.

WILL KNOTT HEAD . CENTRAL RA|LROAD2 Report Says He Is To Succeed
 Major Hanson WAS HERE LAST WEEK Thompson and sevier Here To Attend Routine Meeting of Terminal Go.
 L. 6. N. Pay Car Ar
 rives Today.

When the report was circulated in Bir- mingham yesterday morning that Stewart R. Knott would be appointed president of the Central of Georgia railroad to sue- ceed Maj. J. F. Hanson, there was sur prise. At the same time many railroad men credited the report
 As reported in The Age-Herald some days ago, MT. Knott, in company with President Hanson and General Manager Noise, spent several hours in Birming- ham, and was shown all over the prop erty of the road here At that time noth- ing in an official way was stated, all though 1t was pretty generally understood that MT. Knott, in some capacity, would be associated with the road.
 If MT. Knott is made president of the Central of Georgia it will be due en- tirely, railroad men consider, to the ac- quisition of the line by the Hartman in- terests. Press dispatches state that MT Hartman does not know Major Hanson, and is warm friend of MT. Knott.
 Knott was formerly vice president of the Louisville and Nashville and traffic manager of the Kansas City Southern, the latter being an ally to the Hartman lines. He is considered to be d railroad man of advenced ideas and unquestioned ability.
 J. s. B. Thompson, assistant to President Finley of the Southern railroad, and l.. Sevier, vice president and traffic manager of the Seaboard Air Line, were in Bir- mingham yesterday attending a routine meeting of the Birmingham Terminal company. MT. Thompson is secretary of the company.
 The Terminal company meeting was held yesterday in the office of President G. B. Mccormack. It was announced after the meeting that only routine mat ters were considered, and details incident to the finishing of the station dealt with MT. Thompson and Mir Sevier returned to Atlanta and Norfolk yesterday after noon. They were travelling in private cars.
 The Louisville and Nashville pay car, 1t was announced yesterday, will be in the city today at noon.
 This arrival of the car will be a mat ter of pleasure to the employees of the road, as it has been due since November 12. The reasons for the delay have not been given.
 There is a deal of wonder now as to whether the Louisville and Nashville will dispense real money or cashiers checks.
