Wriqht Will Carry Cass.

Walker, Sept. 16.-(Special to
Pioneer. )-Seven precincts out of
possible forty-three in Cass county,
gave Wright majority of 155 over
Thwing.
It is estimated that Wright will
carry the county by a comfortable
majority.
From present indications Byhre
is renominated for auditor, Delury
for sheriff and Funk of Cass Lake, is
nominated for county attorney.
The returns that are coming in on the
legislative ballot indicate that P. H.
McGerry will receive the republican
nomination for representative as he
has, so far, been in the lead by a
vote of to 1 over his opponents,
Wright Swamps Thwing in Hubbard.
Park Rapids, Sept. 16.-(Special
to Pioneer. )-Eleven precincts out
of thirty-one precincts of Hubbard
county, gave Mr.. Wright 738,
Thwing 212. Wright's ma jority for
the whole county is estimated at
over 1000. -.
Wright Carries Clearwater.
Bagley, Sept. 16.-(Special to
Pioneer. 1.-The primary election in
this county was hot one and the
contest for several of the offices
was very close.
At this hour, 3 p. M, with FIVE
precincts to hear from, the vote for
representative is as follows:
Opsahl, 361; Funkley, 161 and
Ives 20, and it is not believed that
the five small precincts will materi-
ally change these results.
For nomination for Judge of dis:
trict court the vote for Mr.. Wright
is 272 and Thwing 225.
With the small five precincts yet
to hear from (which will not change
the vote more than five either way)

time is remarkably low. considering
the outbreak of a fortnight ago. The
city health department is rapidly di-
minishing the cases of-contagious dis
eases over the city and they are try

of smallpox.
The reports of the city physicians
on births are worse than the changes
in temperature. Today only two have
been received at the office of the city

The dificulty in speaking and writing regarding Alabama is not to find what to say, but rather to decide what to leave out so as to keep an article with in reasonable length.
 The Conservation Conference held in Washington this past week has now learned through Governor Conner, ana his three advisers, something regard ing Alabama's great destiny due 10 its natural resources. Before, how ever. 1t is possible for us to bring to outsiders a full realization Of what Alabama means to itself. the nation and the world, 1t Is necessary that our own people should become so filled with q sense of pride--not false pride, but honest pride-that they will become forever lifted out of petty ways or talking regarding Alabama and up to a view point that enables them to see far beyond their own daily surround ings and far forward beyond the pres ent year. There Is nothing in this to make men negligent of their own af- fairs. We are all of us tied down to daily necessities. and many of us have tasks that in themselves are petty. Let. however. the smallest man among us once realize that his little work Is part of a great whole. and that he Is citizen of a State absolutely match less in opportunity, his affairs will take on e new dignity in his own eyes and his heart will swell with the re- alization that his work, well done, can contribute to the great result that must came to this State when the people of thu State are once awakened.
 Summarized Greatness.
 The Alabama Bankers Association met here during the past week. The Commercial Club transmitted a mes- sage to the Association. It forms a summary of positive facts so far reaching in their importance that the message may well be read by every one who lives in the State. The mes sage follows:
 You are the financial powers in a State whose development has scarcely begun.
 Before the middle of the century. Ala bama will have superseded Western Pennsylvania.
 win control the only great remaining body of iron ore in North America:
 Win have developed the greatest horse power from streams of any State of the Union;
 will supply the motive power of a large portion of the shipping of the world:
 Will be recognized everywhere as the cheapest source of cement;
 Will be the greatest ship-building center of the Western Hemisphere:
 Will have within its bounds vastly more manufactures than it now has;
 Will be the source of supply for manufactured iron and steel to both coasts of South America and to the awakened Orient.
 You thus influence business in the greatest potential State of the great est Republic the world has ever known.

 The cars to Pickett Springs and other parks were also crowded during the afternoon. The largest crowd went to Pickett Springs. The matinee at the baseball bark was also a drawing attraction and the crowd in the grand stand bore striking testimony to the local interest in the game fin progress in Mobile.
 The new concrete dam and street rail- way trestle at Electric Park have been completed and the lake is filling up at a rate of over three feet a day.

But the youngsters had no monopoly of the outdoor fun, for while they were making merry on the toboggan slides, merry-go-round and other youth full blood circulators. their big brothers and sisters were getting their share over ice cream and other refreshments in the cool zephyrs that gently swept through the pavilions.

i bama cannot be attained unless we have one hundred fold more money at work in it than is now the fact. Every line in the above message coull be made the subject of a separate article in order to explain it's full mean ing. but we must content ourselves with very brief comment
 Iron Supremacy.
 The mention of Western Pennsylva- mia refers to the great iron industries | of that State. Those industries are based upon the arrival of iron ore from the Lake Superior region, brought into combination with the coal of Penn sylvania in and around Pittsburg. The town of Gary Indiana, now approach ing completion. will itself, be a seri- ous blow to the industries of West | ern Pennsylvania. for its destined pur pose Is to bring the ore of the Lake Superior region into combination with the coal of the Indiana and Illinois | fields. Alabama is not, therefore, alone l in its influence upon Western Pennsyl- vania: Americas power of consumption Is against that region; for in thirty years the Lake Superior field will prob ably be exhausted and there will then remain only one great body of iron ore in the United States. That body is in Alabama.
 Power Supremacy.
 The question of power from streams Is settled by the very existence of the streams themselves. Alabama receives waterpower benefits through the Ten nessee. the Coosa. the Warrior and other streams taking their rise in or near the south end of the great Ap- palachian Range. The ultimate con- servation of the Appalachian Range as q forest sererve. Is not only possible. but imperative if the flow of the streams is to be maintained. The time Is coming when every stream of rapid How in this State will be chained to produce power The hum of facto- ries of all kinds will be heard through the State at all points north of the center of the State. probably far south Of Montgomery, even, since it Is now possible to transmit electric power as far as 150 miles. There is 1000, 900 horsepower unclaimed in this State at the present time.
 Steamship Tribute.
 The motive power of the shipping of the world Is the coal now resting in Alabama's hills. Most of 1t Is of splen- did steaming quality. The streams of Alabama will be controlled to float it cheaply to Mobile, there to be distrib- uted by coaling vessels, at price with which mo other large coaling port in the world can easily compete. Not more than Iractlon or this motive power has become a fact; fin three years it will begin to grow strong because of the canalized Warrior; in ten years 1t will be an assured influence.
 Cement Greatness.
 The comment upon Alabama as a ce- ment State is not based alone upon the enormous body of cement material oc- cupying the central part of the State, na dtraversed by two gerat nayigabl streams. but also upon the cement ma terial lying in the northern part of the
