congressman I1cIbcIl di ooHo Ol ANS" York former chairman of the republican executive committee, chief aide to the only living ex-President, Col. Theodore Roosevelt, in his fight now raging in the Empire state. is in Birmingham.
 The well known New York politician arrived yesterday, being engaged in q lawsuit in this city. He talked interest ingly on the political situation in New York and gave the information that Colo. some of his closest neighbors and ad- visors, contemplating offering for tho presidency at the next election.
 Mir Parsons said the progressiyes of New York had the old guard completely routed and that MT. Stimson, the former special trust-busting attorney, who was nominated by MT. Roosevelt, would cer- tainly be elected governor of New York over MT. Dix, the democratic nominee.
 In speaking of the situation among other things he said:
 Republicans Always Win
 For the past several years people have believed along about June that the dem ocrats would win in New York; about August the tide recedes somewhat, and in November the republicans always come out on top This is true of the political situation in New York at this time. The entire face of things has changed in the past two weeks, and Colonel Roosevelt, whose activities in New York politics can rot be disputed, will assist materially in electing MT. Stmson governor. The colo mel is an active, full-blooded American, and will always manifest an interest in governmental affairs. This being true. 1t is not strange for him to engage active ly in party matters. He is after no per sonal gain, according to my view.
 He is unquestionably purifying force In American public life. The New York political situation is very roseate to the republicans. Colonel Roosevelt and other leading republicans secured the nomina- ton of MT. Stimson. after studying very carefully to find the most competent man and the one who would carry out those features of republican belief which as sure that party the kindliest feeling from all people interested in the progress and welfare of this country.
 About MT. Stimson
 "Mr. Stimson Is a true, red -blooded, active man. He Is the first who se- cured convictions in rebate cases and has handled the sugar frauds In an able manner. He prosecuted Charles W. Morse and secured his conviction. He cannot be swerved from any pur- pose which he thinks Is right. On the other hand, he will not assist in prose- cutting anyone whom he believes Is not guilty.
 with this record before us we nom- mated him. He Is unquestionably as able as any man that was ever nominated by New York republicans and will carry the banner of our party to success. There is no Mary of the vine-clad cottage about him; nothing, In fact' but truth and ability"
 In speaking of Colonel Roosevelt s relations to Wall street and the in dustrial interests the New York con gressman observed:
 ,"There is no industrial concern nor Wall street interest that need feel any fear from Colonel Roosevelt. There Is no more room for unrest now than in 1904 Many who now oppose him opposed him then but he was over whelmingly elected. He will not trample upon anyone but simply gives everyone a square deal The moneyed interests of New York who are doing a legitimate business and are giving a square deal will get that much from MT. Roosevelt. The prosperity of the country has not been affected by any of Colonel Roosevelt's speeches and need not be-"
 What effect will the resignation of Charles H. Young of the republican club have on the candidacy of MT. Stimson ?'' was asked Congressman Parsons.
 Very little, in my opinion, unless if be to help Stimson," he answered. "There are some people who differ from the party just now, but when 1t comes time to face the situation many of them will be found walking right up to the box for Stimson."
 Effect of Hearst's Activity
 In speaking of the activities of Will liam Randolph Hearst, who recently nomina ted man for governor, MT. Par sons said.
 "The wrath of MT. Hearst will fall principally upon the democrats. MT. Hearst can render no harm to the re- publican party but he does hurt the democrats"
 In talking of the national situation MT. Parsons said the republicans would carry about their usual number of con gressional districts of New York but that he was not well enough informed to tell about the country at large. He said politics would soon become a sec- ondary matter in. the country for a short while at least and then business would pick up. Mr. Parsons will be in Birmingham today and will return to New York probably tonight. He was recently renominated for Copcress from his distriot
