Here, for example, came The Birmingham Led ger fam-a-tic. which Is pronounced differently from the old time fanatic though 1t sometimes means the same thing. and although he had been In the big City of the State for several hours, he wrote back home to the of- feet that Houtz was going to let the ball that Mayor-elect GAstnn GuntRr pitched go by but that he would do a plenty to the next one.
 Of course Houtz hadn't been here in a long time. and perhaps didn't know a Mayor elect and pitcher already in action and thought Mr. Gunter was oh unking all those three little beads that made that disagreeable umpire call him out.

washin gton, D. C.. April 17.-(spe- L)-Representative Burnett. who Is a member of the House Public Build tngs Committee. thinks that the bill aow being framed will. when reported, carry not more than $1s,0oo.o0o. and 1t will be one of the last measures to be reported this session.
 The calculation is that the Senate will add not less than $4.000'00o to the bill and probably as much as se,- 100000.
 The House, always in such matters has to allow for senatorial demands. Some of the big cities like Boston. Cleveland and Denver are asking very large appropriatfons for public build- inxs. and this is what is causing the House committeee considerable trou- ble.s
 MT. Burnett. of course, is looking out sharply for Alabama and If the state does not get it's share 1t will not be because he is not doing his utmost to have Alabama properly recognized.

!. THE DENVER ELECTION. ]

Observation-Disclosures

The election in Denver Yesterday
resulted in a great personal triumph
for Mayor Speer. In spite of the Wig
orous and bitter campaign made
against him he was reelected by a
comfortable plurality, now believed
to be about $500. se
There was always more or less be-
lief, among all well-informed poll
ticians. that Mayor Speer would be
likely to succeed himself. He has a
first class political machine, compos-
ed largely of those persons IN the
service of the city and who are actu-
ated by personal motives in desiring
a continuance of the present admin
istration.
Moreover, 1t Is always very difficult
to carry large city upon a moral
issue However much people may
believe in decency, when it comes to
voting they vote for the open town
because 1t makes business better"
In their judgment.
Mayor Speer has two strong points
in his favor which offset the attacks
made upon the moral question. He
Is personally very likeable and an
able man in the mayors chair. He
is the head of the administration and
rules with a complete grasp of all
departments.
And again Speer has been pro-
gressive mayor, always endeavoring
to do something to beautify the town
and improve it from physical stand
point. Viewing it in this light many
taxpayers were willing to overlook
the burdens which had been placed
upon them for improvements.
Mr.. Speer's opponent, Horace
Phelps, was comparatively new to
politics. He made a three weeks
campaign, while Mayor Speer has
been making four years campaign.
1t was impossible for Phelps and the
Republicans to overcome the work
and the record of Speer for his four
years.
Party lines rested loosely. as was
emphasized by the fact that many
Republicans, including the Denver
Republican newspaper. were at heart
for Speer. 1t is not likely to serious
ly affect this falls election, unless
Speer should seize the opportunity
to get into state politics, of which
there lis a good deal of doubt. And,
moreover, it is open to question
whether or not the voters who be-
lieved in Speer for mayor would fol-
low him into state and county poll
tics.
1t was fair and square fight the
most honest election that Denver has
had in many years, and Speer Is
really the choice of the majority of
the legitimate voters of the city
