AS a result Of the cooperation of
the Commercial Association with the
local officials OF the L. g. N, 1t Is
now regarded as practically certain
that a special excursion will be run to
Pensacola the morning of June IS
from Birmingham and Montgomery
and intermediate points, and possibly
from some of the principal points
south of Montgomery, the special pur-
pose Of the excursion being to give
the people of the inland territory an
opportunity to visit the battleships
under Admiral Ward.
The latest official advfces from the
secretary of the navy to the CONNER
cial Association show that there has
up to this time been no change in the
plans for the ships to be at Pensacola
from June ID to June %, inclusive.
On the return from Galveston, the four
ships will put in a couple OF days at
tornedo work outside of the harbor.
and there is a possible doubt Of their
getting into the harbor before the 18th
as the torpedo work might perhaps be
delayed by adverse weather conditions,
or the entrance of the ships to the
harbor be delayed by possible loss of
torpedoes and search for them. It is
regarded, however as reasonably GER
tain that the ships will be in the har-
Dor on the 18th, or certainly on the
18th, and the Commercial Association
has advised Admiral Ward of the ar
rangements to date and asked his ap-
proval or correction of same.
With the o. r. G. excursion reach
ing here on the 21st, 1t is not prac-
ticable for the L. & N. to attempt to
furnish rolling stock at the same tirae
FOR an excursion from territory other
than that covered by the O. r. G.
tickets. The Commercial Association
has made an effort to have the ships
here later than the 23rd. but falling
in that, has Joined with Mr.. Lurton in
a request on Mr.. Russell to run in tho
proposed Birmingham Montgomery eX-
cursion to reach here on the 18th,
tickets good to leave up to midnight
on the 18th. BY an arrangement OF
this sort, even II the battleships should
not get into the harbor until the 18th.
! the excursionists would be able to see
the ships. The situation in detail Is
being presented to Mr.. Russell and to
Admiral Ward and in view Of the
telegram which Mr.. Russell sent Mr..
Lurton several days ago. 1t is believed
that the excursion rates will be grant
ed as requested.

HOT CAMPAIGN
ENDS IN MOBILE
ADVOCATES AND OPPONENTS
OF COMMISSION GOVERNMENT
RESTING ON oARs-THE ELEc-
TIoN OCCURS MONDAY.
Special to The journal.

Mobile, Ala, June ?.-After one of
the most energetic campaigns in the
history of the city, a campaign in
which undertaking and personalities
played a prominent part, interspersed
with profanity, slander and vitupera-
ton, the commission government cam
pa1gn in this city came to virtual
close tonight and the battling forces
are resting upon their oars. the advo-
Gates of commission government con-
f1dent of victory and the defenders Of
aldermanfc rule hoping against hope
! that something will turn the tide in
their favor. Every device known to
the professional politician has been
brought into play and every argument
that, by any stretch of the imagina-
ton could have the most remote bear
ing upon the issues at stake, has been
used over and over again at the meet
ings that have been held during the
week in every ward in the city by
both factions.
Commission government in Bir-
ringham. Memphis and other cities
has been discussed until the subject
is threadbare, the prompt action of
! the Birmingham commissioners N lop-
ping off the heads of useless office
holders being given especial attention,
while moving pictures, Sunday base
ball, the prohibition question, taxes
I
share of the vaporings of spell bind
ers. And the fact that the capital
city has adopted the commission form
| or government was not forgotten, the
discussion covering every possible ar
gument that could be made for or
| against the system.
"CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION"
At the outset of the controversy
both sides announced Campaign of
education" and this has been rigidly
adhered to by the advocates of COM
mission government, barring only argu-
ments necessary to refute charges of
the other side, but early In the cam
Tpafgn the anti-commission govern
| ment crowd, apparently finding legiti-
mate argument against the proposed
plan rather difficult, began to inject
personalities and inuendo some of the
speakers going so far as to use pro-
fanity upon the stand in the effort to
discredit either the system itself or
the speakers upon the opposing side.
The election, which will be held on
Monday, promises to be one of the
| most warmly contested in the history
of the city and every effort will be
| made by both sides to get every vote
out. Elaborate preparations have
been made to prevent fraudulent yot~
ing and, although charges have all
ready been made that the polling lists
SSCAA win Tie IIdHleS OF OedQ men, II
is hardly believed that an attempt will
be made to cast vote for any of the
departed ones.
Interest in the election is intense.
and for the past week it has been this
one subject of conversation, other
matters fading into insignificance be-
side it. And tonight both sides are
on the qui vive, watching with every
sense for possible ninth hour attempts
to put one over" that may have a
bearing upon the result of Mondays
