BRYAN CLUB WILL
 MEET HERE SOON
WILL PROBABLY NAME TICKET OF DELEGATES, ELECTORS AND ALTERNATIVES AND PLACE MIR. BRYAN'S NAME ON TICKET.

There will be meeting of the Ala
 while
 It Is understood that this meeting will be for two purposes-to suggest
 the name of William Jennings Bryan
 for place on the state ticket, and U
 name ticket of delegates electors and alternates from each district As is remembered the state commit tee arranged the plan whereby the
 names of all democratic candidates for the presidency shall go on the state
 ticket. The delegates elected shall
 support that candidate receiving the largest number of votes. It is general
 ly believed that only one presidential
 candidate will be on the ticket-Bryan. The naming of ticket for delegates
 from the districts seems necessary on
 account of the tardiness with which
 candidates are entering the field. While
 it is very probable that there will be
 enough candidates to fill thel ist Of delegates from the district, it is very probable that there will not be a suf- ficient number of electors and alter mates.
 For delegate at large there are a'- ready four announced candidates, Capt. E. w. Booker. Col. John W. Tomlinson. and R. N. Rhodes of Birmingham, and Congressman Heflin. R. H. Parkes of l Montgomery. Congressman Clayton and 1 Emmet ONeal of Florence are mem
 tioned as probable candidates.
 The following are the announced caa- didates for district delegates: First, | John McDuffie, Monroe Second, S. H. Dent, Jr. Montgomery, and J. Lee Long. Butler; Third, Harry L. Martin, Dale i; Fourth, none; Fifth, Judge J. c. Wood, | Lowdnes, and M. ". Whatley, Clay: | Sixth, John H. Bankhead. Jr Walker; | Amos Horton. Greene. and James Pearce. Marion; Seventh. W. T.

ARTHUR SCHEMED
 FOR HIS NEW SUIT
HAD A FINE SCHEME WHICH WORKED ALL RIGHT, BUT HE DID NOT LEAVE TOWN QUICKLY ENOUGH.

Arthur Wells deserved to win, but he got two years imprisonment for a gen uine practical joke. Arthur, who is of the colored race, wanted a new suit of clothes, so he went to telephone and called up Earle-Terrel & Co.
 This is Chapel Corey of the Birming- ham Trust and Savings Co.," he said 'I want to send over my porter to be fixed up. Give him the best suit of clothes you have, and dress him up in the best style Charge it to me-"
 '.All right, MT. Corey. send him along" was the reply.
 A few minutes later Arthur walked into the store and announced that he was MT. Chappell Coreys porter. The clerk according to instructions diked him up from head to foot with the best in stock, and Arthur walked out like dude of the first water To make things cer- tain, however, the company called up MT. Corey and asked if the negros ap- pearance was pleasing. Some things hap pened then, for after few hours Arthur was wearing stripes.

Claims To UnderseII Others.

An interesting statement was received yesterday from T. A. Wilson, manager of the grocery department at Drennen & Co.'S store. The firm offers some inducing prices, and it is not probable that they handle groceries merely for the accom- mediation of their customers. As will be seen, MT Wilson states that his company undersells the grocers in five out of every six southern towns, and makes money.

VALUE OF GOOD PLUMBING.
Poor Material or Poor Work Always
Source of Expense.

If there's any one thing about a home
or public building that needs to be done
in a thorough substantial manner, 1T is
plumbing Cheap plumbing Will be-
come a continuous expense for repairs
to say nothing of the damage that is
liable to be done property. Experience
has shown us that not only the house
owner loses money on a cheap job, but
in the long run the plumbing firm that
did the work loses. We believe We can
give you more real value, dollar for
dollar, than any plumbing firm and we
invite comparison of work and prices.
But we'd rather not get your job if we
have to use poor material and compete
with poor workmen. For a good hon
est Job, good work and good material,
were Johnny on the spot and will
compete with any of them. That's what
we like and the fact that we've put in
so many plumbing systems is pretty
good evidence that we back up our
word with the work. If you're inter-
ested in plumbing. let us talk with

TEAM GETS CRUSHING DEFEAT.
East High Wins From Local Eleven by
IL to O.

The local high schools aspirations
for the state championship received a
crushing setback Friday afternoon at
Des Moines when the East High team
of that city beat them by the score
of IL to 0. Two touchdowns and two
goals in the first half turned the trick.
While their hopes of winning the first
honor is sadly crushed. there is still a
chance. East High plays Ida Grove
next Saturday. II Ida Grove should
win. and then lose to the local team,
which it is to meet on Nov. IA. the
Marshalltown eleven could still lay
claim to the championship.
The only satisfactory explanation
that can be given for yesterdays de-
feat is a reversal of form. To all APP
pearances, and for all practical pur-
poses, it was an entirely different team
that went down to defeat yesterday
than that which swept West High be-
fore it two weeks before
That East High has a better team
than West High is admitted, but this
fact is no good reason for the local
teams play. Many things combined to
beat them, chief of which was their
