NO QUORUM OF DEMOCRATS
Matter of Candidate for Governor
Only Informally Discussed.

Owing to the rainy weather the
meeting OF the executive sub-commit-
tee of the Democratic State Central
committee was not held yesterday as
planned, only three members coming
The three present were Mayor James
B. Martin Of this city, Thomas II. ke-
hoe Of New Britain and Eugene r.
OSullivan of Torrngton. During the
afternoon most of the other members
telephoned in from their different
| towns and stated the reason for their
| non appearance. 1
The three members who came met
in the office of the secretary of the
state committee, Edwin s. Thomas,
and had heart to heart discussion Of
the state situation. All felt very much
encouraged with the outlook, none Of
them believing that Congressman Lii
! ley would be defeated for the repub-
lican nomination for governor. To
them II seems that any good democrat
who would accept the nomination
would carry the state this fall
The matter of who should be the
standard bearer for the party was not
discussed at any length because OF
the absence of the rest of the COM
mlttee. But those present thought
that either Judge A. Heaton Robert
son Of this city or George M Gum Of
Milford could carry the ticket to VIC
tory, and that F.. G. Stoddard Of New
Haven could carry the state If he
would run. There IL still talk Of
Samuel L. Bronson of this city and 1t
Is known that some of the powers pre-
| fer him.
| The three men present considered
| principally the formation OF clubs in
various towns throughout the state in
accordance with the suggestion Of the
national committee These clubs will
! not be marching organizations as in
former years, but will pay more at
tention to regular work. such as get
ting young men to register and getting
out voters on election day
A meeting of the committee will be
held early in September for organlza-
ton and after that the work will be
taken up and pushed rapidly until
election day

What's a Good


The Tribune tells the news as faith
fully and truthfully as it can, without fear
and without favor, and comments on it
with the best intelligence it can command.
The Tribune is in league with all men
and women who think, and with all the
agencies that strive for the happiness of
the people.
The Tribune shields no wrong that
ought to be exposed and stops at no truth
that ought to be uttered.
The Tribune does not lend itself to the
making of strife between citizens, neither
RACES like a demagogue nor Weeps like a
Charlatan.
The Tribune has ideals, believes in
progress, and wins its way by courage,
plain speaking and fair dealing.
The Tribune assemblies each week as
much of the good things that are done in
the world as it can find and no more of the
foul than II must.
The Tribune has political opinions and
may belong to a party, but it cannot be an
organ and keep the high faith of the best
journalism.
The Tribune knows no boss, leans to
no petty satrap of office, and owes no allie
glance but to that which is believed to be
true.
The Tribune is run on business prinCi-
pies and should make money and prosper
like any other business, but probably
won't if that is its sole aim.
The Tribune takes a cheerful view of
the world, is kind to human failing, and
helps men more by entertaining them than
by ranting and sColding at them.

BARBOUR COUNTY
 CLUB PLANNED
More Than 100 We'll Known Citizens of Birmingham Formerly Lived
 There.

There is a movement on foot for the or ganization of a Barbour County club in Birmingham tne members of which are to be residents of Birmingham who for merly lived in Barbour.
 The movement was started by Col Harry Shorter, and as there are more than 100 Barbour county people in Bir- mingham, the step has met with great favor. Col. Robert Pearson, Judge A. O. Lane, Judge N. B. Feagin, Governor Will liam D. Jelks, Governor Braxton Bragg Conner and many other prominent citizens and former residents of Barbour county are interested in the proposed plans.
 The object of the club will be the form ing of acquaintances and friendships among the former residents of the county. which before the development on such ex- tensive scales of Jefferson and other North Alabama counties, was the greatest political factor in the state. Everyone remembers the old slogan: ''As Barbour goes, so goes the state,'' and the old boast that Alabama is divided into three sec- tions, North Alabama, South Alabama and Barbour county"

HARRISON FREE
 OF MURDER CHARGE
The Killing of Grover Richardson Hap. pened Near Bessemer Several
 Months Ago.

The jury in the case of Charles M. Haralson, charged with the murder of Grover Richardson, at Bessemer several months ago, returned a verdict of not guilty yesterday afternoon. The jury's decision in the case was read shortly after o'clock, and Haralson, with the words. Thank God" walked out of the court room free man.
 When the verdict was read the de- fendant sat at the long table in the first division of the criminal court sur rounded by his wife and several child ren. After the jury had announced that a verdict had been agreed upon there was a delay of about five minutes from some cause. and the suspense showed perceptibly Tn the restless de- meanor of those so vitally interested. When the verdict had been read Judge Nesmith discharged the jury with the customary thanks of the court.
 Haralson, it will be recalled, was charged with the murder of Richard son by shooting him. The affray was said to have grown out of jealousy.

J. A. VANHOOSE MAY
 RUN FOR CONGRESS
IF HE MAKES RACE HIS PRINCE PAL PLANK WILL BE FOR A WATERWAY FROM BlRMlNG- HAM TO THE SEA-"

J. A VanHoose will very probably be a candidate for Congress from the Ninth district, against Representative Oscar W. Underwood. This matter has been under consideration by MT. VanIIoose for sev- eral days, and the probabilities are very strong as to his candidacy. "A Water way From Birmingham to the Sea" will be the principal plank in his platform in case he decides to make the race.
 Asked last night if he would be can didate, MT. VanHoose said:
 "It is true that I have been thinking of running for Congress, but l am not yet prepared to make a positive an- nouncement. Will say, however, that am seriously considering the matter.
 "The principal feature upon which I will make my candidacy will be for a waterway from Birmingham to the sea- This is something which is an absolute necessity to Birmingham's future de- velopment, and while other parts of the country are being improved l can't see why we shouldn't figure in the receiving of the plums. Appropriations are being made for work which isn't half as im- portant as this waterway would be. and should make the race and be elected will devote my every effort to securing it.
 "Of course, this would not be the only plank in my platform, for I think I can place few more good ones in it.
 Former Mayor W. M. Drennen is be- ing talked of also as a probable candi- date. He will not, however, declare his intentions yet.
