 For the highest onice. Frank P. O'Brien stands unopposed for the Dem- ocratic nomination and barring only the miraculous, will be the next Mayos of Birmingham.
 For President of the City Council. a position rraught with much power some honor and no money, strenuous fight has been waged by B. H. Coop e: and Harry Jones.
 For Chief of Police, William E i Wier and George H. Bodeker have made most spectacular race. and on the last lap promise to come unde' the wire neck and neck Ex-Chiei Wier and present Chief Bodeker each | has their issues. Mir.

 Newburgh. N Y, July e5-Ex- Gov ernor B. B. odell, Jr.. State Commit teeman from the Twentieth District, said today concernig the announcement of the candidacy of Governor Hughes for re-nomination:
 Governor Hughes's statement is no surprise to me There Is no question but the organization will accept Mfr. Hughes because. to turn him down would cause the withdrawal of lnde. pendent voters from the support of the State ticket. It Is a fact also that in every locality. the so-called leaders. in my opinion. would prefer some one else; but up to this time. there has been no capitalization of the sentiment in favor of any particular candidate in opposition.
 Much as we may desire. we can not close our eyes to the fact that there are divisions in the party lines. Aml bilious persons who were anxious to succeed Senator Platt. will not look on the candidacy of Governor Hughes with

Another thing. 1t would be we'll for | players to remember, that Is if they have learnt 1t. that they are not paid to walk about the field and show off their shapely limbs. they are not paid simply to have their names in the line up; they are not paid to have personal feeling about plays that are held at the expense of others. They are Eaid to play baseball and when a man ceases to remember that he makes up part of a big machine. that depends on his running smoothly for it's sue cess then he Is no longer filling his place. No matter how good hitter or player he may be, he can do a team more harm with. his personal feelings than a less expert man could by poor playing.
 Reagan was wrong all the way through, and he is too good a player to get mixed up in mess like yesterday that cost the team the game. If he, had been in right when Redmond hit the ball that scored Donahue 1t would have been caught.
 Fftzsimmons may have been. wrong about that decision in all probability ignored the mob that yowled at him, placed him high in the esteem of many.
 Just few more games like that and there will be more than one city in the league crying poor mouth and poorer attendance.
 Surely President Chambers will see to it, as a duty to the public. that the mob rowdyism of Saturday afternoont and utter disregard of the rules by the players will not occur again
 Had the man who was called safe on third been a local player. would the crowd have so vociferously demanded Justice" for him?
 If they believed they were right about Donahue being out, would they have made the same demonstration had one of their own team been called safe under similar circumstances? To do so would be to be true sportsmen, as fair to one side as the other.
 The chances are. ten to one, had 1t been a Montgomery player who was called safe. a Memphian denying awful roasting.

WEST END TO HAVE
 PEOPLES PHONES
FRANCHISE HAS BEEN GRANTED AND EVERY NECESSARY EQUIP MENT MUST BE IN PLACE WITH IN SIX MONTHS FROM DATE.

The Peoples Home Telephone company will enter West End, a franchise hav- ing been granted them by the Mayor and Aldermen of that municipality. un- der the terms of the contract the set ting of the necessary poles, installation of switchboards and other work must be completed within six months.
 A franchise in West End has long been sought by the Peoples company, but their application was repeatedly turned down. Their entrance into West End will not only serve to strengthen their system, but it is believed will be welcomed by the residents of this little suburb, as 1t will give them two systems and the benefits of improved service, which gen orally results from competition.
 The rates of the Peoples company in West End will be the same as in Bir- mingham. which is s1.50 per month for residence phones. The granting of this franchise will give them nearly every part of what is to be Greater Birming- ham, Work will be started immediately and the company hopes to be giving inli service long before the six months is up

He called attention to the small sanitary sewers now in exis- tence, declared them entirely inadequate for the needs of city as great as Bir- mingham today, called attention to the overflow being run into the storm sewers, the back pressure and the conditions which tend toward disease, and urged that the bond issue be carried immedi- ately.

MAYOR ONCE MORE
 VETOES STREET TAX
Mooted Question Will Come Up Again at Wednesdays Meeting
 of Council.

Mayor Ward prepared yesterday his fourth veto of the street tax, the com munication to be read at the next meet ing of the City Council. The Mayor sets out in his veto number of reasons why the ordinance should not become a law while the phraseology is similar to the previous three vetoes of the tax.
 The street tax question has been live wire in the City Council for more than two months, and will again be taken up next Wednesday when the Council meets. At the last meeting a resolution was in troduced recommending the adoption of the street tax and an effort will be made at the next meeting to pass the ordinance, the Mayors veto notwithstanding.
