STATE CANDIDATES
HAVE TAKEN WINGS
Cannot Stand the Heat of
County Camapign
PERTINENT QUESTIONS
Candidates for Governor Asked to De-
fine Their Position ON Railroad
Cases-UniOn Mass Meeting
TO Be Held Today

The group of candidates for state Of
flee who came to Birmingham with the
Educational association took wings yes
terday and only a few remained to bat
tie against the heated county campaign.
The county candidates have put the
state aspirants out OF business, and after
o few attempts, they have all agreed that
Jefferson is no fertile field until after it
rains next Monday
This, to some extent, is responsible for
the inability of even the candidates for
governor to arouse much enthusiasm. A
meeting for Mr.. Mallory at woodlawn
last week did not develop good crowd.
For the same reason the O'Neal county
force is contenting itself with quiet
work, and will not announce its campaign
committee until after April 4. When 1t
Is announced, however, some people will
be startled.
The candidates for governor are hav-
ing to answer number of pertinent ques-
lions right now. People with the interest
of the state at heart are making nu-
of the administration.
One of these Is the attitude toward the
railroad litigation now In progress. The
last legislature made an appropriation to
be used In fighting the rate cases, leaving
1t optional with the governor to employ
counsel and the help needed In the voium-
nous and intricate work required.
The governor, when elected, could call
of all these proceedings should he be
so minded, and prevent them being car
ried to the highest court of the land. 1t
is said that both candidates will be asked
to outline their policy along these lines.
other questions. by educational. medical
and other organizations, will be submit
ted. Their replies may have considerable
weight In the election.
The mass meeting of union voters
called for this afternoon will be held at
the virginia theatre. First avenue and
Nineteenth street, beginning at O'Clock.
1t will be strictly for union me, with their
card and poll tax receipts, and no can
didates will be admitted The object is
to nominate and unite on a legislative
ticket.

CANDIDATES ARE
ON HOME STRETCH
Thirty Three Are After County
Offices
CONTESTS ARE CLOSE
Campaign Has offered Many Surprises.
Tom Pounds Yesterday Announced
Retirement From the Race
for SheriH's Once

Just one week from tomorrow. the %
candidates who are stretching their necks
for office in Jefferson county win either
lie down in defeat. or walk rejoicing into
the path which leads to the county treass
ury
Thus will end a campaign stretching
over two whole years, in which several
candidates have grown grayheaded ana
others have learned the names of every
man. woman and child in the county.
And after all these weeks, az they draw
their lines together for the final charge
it begins TO look like one OF the closest
county primaries Jefferson has ever had.
In one or two Instances candidates who
seemed TO be tailenders have picked un
and are running with the leaders.
This has caused great speculaffon. many
questioning where the added strength
came from. and who was the loser there-
by. Betting on the result started 1t q
lively clip last week. and before the
primary many large bets win likely ~
placed.
Between this and April several CAM
didates expect to make whfrfwfnd mn
shes. Some claim a landslide. hut the
persistent plugger keeps on the nove, ana
will make his claims after next Nom
day.
The withdrawal of Tom Pound from thu
race for sheriff yesterday was the cauSa
of much debate. ITO whom WIN hin
vote go? Did he come out In favor
of any other candidate? and other uues-
lions kept things lively.
It is believed that this is the hsS
withdrawal and that the other candidates
will fight the thing out.

The announcement made yesterday thai.
Street Commissioner John McCartin had
resigned his position with the city gov
eminent to enter the paving business
caused ripple of excitement around the
city hall, while the city fathers are up
in the air, wondering where they can
find man to equal the present incun-
bent.
Mr.. McCartin's connection with the city
government as street commissioner has
extended over a period of u years, while
he served on the Board of Aldermen for
eight years prior to accepting the posi-
ton as street commissioner. His record
is an enviable one and the aldermen are
10th to give him up.
During his career as street commits
sioner Mr.. McCartln has worked wonders
with his department. He resigned from
the Board of Aldermen to take it when
the city was in dire need of a man in
this position. He had nothing practically
in the shape of equipment and the like
to start on and considering the great
amount of work has had but little equip
ment added to 1t. By various and sundry

of the kind which has attracted the at

went to Barnhart's place and called him
to the door. When he came he

Hurrah for the gallant, brilliant,
Beveridge, may he win the most
glorious republican victory yer re-
corded in his state.
The following brief telegram from
indianapolis under date OF April S,
tells the story OF that same stirring
address:
The Indiana republican convention
today adopted a platform that ignores
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law and de-
clares for only a protective tariff
"that covers the cost Of production
here and abroad" The committee
on resolutions voted unanimously not
to mention the new measure. Nor
did the committee which framed the
resolutions take up the county option
question, which figured In the last
campaign.
The resolutions indorse the policies
OF former President Roosevelt and the
administration OF President Taft.
OVATION FOR BEvERIDGE.
When United States Senator Albert
J. Beveridge, In his speech as temper
airy chairman OF the convention, de-
clared his antagonism to the new
tariff law, his periods were marked
by storms of applause from the dele
gates and the crowded galleries in
hall.
Repeating as a text, 81 could not
stand for 1t then, and l cannot stand
