IDENTICAL PLANKS
MIR. BRYAN DISCUSSES THE INDE-
 PENDENTs PLATFORM.
The Actual Preparation Of The Speech Of Acceptance Was Begun By
 Mir. Bryan Yester-

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July &c., The most interesting piece of news to emenate from Fairview today was a formal statement by William J. Bryan in which he discussed the platform of the Independence party. adopted at the convention at Chicago which ad- journed yesterday, and pointed out that it contains a number of blanks identi- cal with or substantially similar to the blanks of the Democratic plat form.
 He declared that the voter, preferr- ing the Democratic platform to the Republican platform and yet who joins with the Independence party, merely assists tie Republican party and thus defeats the reforms in which he is interested. MT. Bryan argues that the question is not whether one can get all the reform that he wants but how he can ge. the most reform, and he asserts that the Democratic party of- fers the best opportunity to secure that which is obtainable at this time.
 No attempt will be made by Mir. Bryan to reply to the open letter of Victor Rosewater, of Omaha. charging a conspiracy between Mir. Bryan and his brother-in-law,, State Chairman Allen, to purIoin votes in Nebraska.
 He simply addressed that to me to attract attention" said MT. Bryan. "He Is hardly the man to go to the popu- lace as guardian"
 The sweltering heat did not deter number of persons from going 10 Fairview and paying their respects to the Democratic candidate. AIT were cordially received and Mir. Bryan him. self who personally conducted hts visitors through his home and showed them his priceless collection of art treasures gathered during his trip around the world.
 The actual preparation of the speech of acceptance was begun by Mir. Bryan today Among the notable visitors who will be present the day of notification will be John W Kern, of Indiana the Democratic candidate for Vice Presi- dential nominee. At the conclusion Of the exercises Mir. Bryan will receive the notification committee and several distinguished guests at Fairview where supper win be served on the lawn. Unlike his distinguished ed opponents who refused to accept an elephant as mascot, Mir Bryan today in response to a letter from the Agricultural Soc ciety of Minnesota. telegraphed that would be delighted to avail himself of their offer to send him an educated mule" as mascot.
 He is said to understand the habits of the elephant declared MT. Bryan with a twinkle of the eye, and TOT that reason among others. shall ac- cept him.

TOM BRAGG WORKING
 FOR THE ANNUAL GAME
Trying to Have Alumni Indorse Foot- ball Meeting Between Auburn
 and TuncalOOsa.

and TuMcalOOsa.
 Tom Bragg, of the faculty or the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and alumnl director of Auburn athletics. reached Montgomery yesterday ana will remain in the city few days, en- deavorinR to arouse the alumni Of Au- burn and Alabama to make an eHort to have the two institutions meet In their annual football game in NoVem per.
 For the first time In years the TWO State institutions will not get together in the classic sporting event Of the wear. petty differences having strained relations between the two colleges.
 The Auburn-Alabama game IS the only football contest of the year In which the alumni of the two institu- tions and the majority of the student body of each college Is interested to any great degree. Hundreds of peo- pie annually make a pilgrimage to Birmingham to witness the game and these contests have always been suc- cessful from every point of view. E Mir. Bragg believes and his opinion is endorsed by practically every man who knows anything about collegiate football in this State that the alumni will withdraw all support and interest in the sport If the game Is not ar ranged. The Alumni Societies of the two institutions in Birmingham are endeavoring to bring weight to bear for Ahe contest to be arranged and in all probability the Montgomery socie- ties will take similar action in the next few days,

OIL TAX INITIATED
THOUSANDS OF TAGS ARE SHIFTED
 TO AUBURN.
Call For Tax Of One-Haif Cent Per Gallon of Illuminating Oil Sold In Alabama---Revenue Ex-
 pected to Result.

The first enforcement of the new oil tag tax law enacted by the last Leg islature began yesterday when, on re- quisition of the Board of Trustees, of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, sev- eral thousand tags were shipped by State Auditor W. W. Brandon to Au- burn. the seat of the college charged with the administration of the law. The tags will be dispensed from Au- burn on the approval of Dr. B. B. Ross. State Chemist, who is responsible for the inspection of the Illuminating oils sold in the State and coming with in the meaning of the statute.
 It is understood that several appli- cations for tags are on file with the Auburn Board of Trustees. Beginning today no oil for Illuminating purposes sold within the State of Alabama in bulk shall be sold unless it shall have first been tested by the State Chemist and have attached an official tag show ing the number of gallons contained in the tank, barrel, package, etc, in which the shipment is made.
 The tags, on the approval of the Chemists test for fire safety and gen. era1 excellence of quality. call for the payment of one-half cent per gallon that 1t represents. Three-fourths of the receipts from this source of rev. enue goes into the State Treasury. The remaining twenty-five per cent is paid into the treasury of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute by way uf com pensation for inspection of the oil and dispensing tags and to be used in the maintenance of the college.
 It Is said that when the law is well under it's way of enforcement 1t will be a fruitful revenue for the State and the college with which the busi- ness is associated. It is but an imi- tatlon of a tax and inspection law obtaining in adjoining States.
 But for the technical defeat of the law on the ground of It's unconstitu- tionaIity three or four years ago 1t would have been in operation ere now In Alabama The Alabama Supreme Court declared the law null after the 1902-3 session of the Legislature. Sim liar provisions were contained in the code committees report to the last assembly ana it was made law.
 There Is an appropriate penalty for the person, firm or corporation which fails to comply with the terms of the statute.

AUBURN PROSPECTS
BUILDING OPERATIONS THERE AT
 HIGH TIDE.
Dr. Thach,in City, Speaks of Encourage meat for Future of the College
 and Declares Best Work =
 of Instffution fs Ahead.

Invigorated by a trip to the East, af- ter the numerous cares of the college, pr. Charles c. Thach. President of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. came to Montgomery yesterday at noon from Auburn.
 At the Exchange Hotel. where he will be for a few days on business. pr. Thach yesterday spoke enthusiastically of the Auburn prospects for the ap- proaching session. He believes that fhe wear will be unparalleled in point of attendance, and declares 1t his in~ tention, and that of the entire faculty, to make the work excel that of pre- vious years.
 The building committee of the Au- burn Board of Trustees Is scheduled for a meeting August 5, for the ex- press purpose of awarding the con- obstruction of the new agricultural building at Auburn. There are about seventy-five bids on file for this hand some job.
 "The agriculture building will cost in the neighborhood of $70,0UU," said pr. Thach yesterday. Tt will be large enough for the accommodation not only of the agricultural course which is be- ing yearly enlarged. but for all allied
  dustries and other subjects. The build ing will be a credit to the institution and to the State."
 The progress of the contractors on the new library building at Auburn. pr. Thach reports as being highly sat- isfactory. The structure will be ready for occupancy by the opening of the next session. It is said to be more than meeting the dreams of the stu dents and faculty to whom the edifice is especially dear and will be a model of architecture.
 A most gratifying feature of Auburn improvements Is the sanitary system that is being installed. Under the di- rection of Professor c. N. Mitcham of the department of engineering. the new water works system Is being rapidly built. Water will be pumped tn rough pipes for two miles from a healthy spring to a standpipe, to be erected near the college campus. and of suf- ficient capacity to supply the needs of the college and the town citizens. It
