The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-12-27

ulating himself over having acquired the three fastest outfielders in the south, Messenger. Johnston and Now rey. referred to the matter of selling Elliott to Nashville.
 Molesworth, though he feels that .El- liott is the best young catcher in the business, appreciates the fact that he will probably not give Birmingham his best services next season. There fore, he expresses willingness that the deal be closed.
 It is probable that Elliott will be disposed of before the beginning of next season. There are two cities anx- ious to acquire him. Louisville of the American association, and Nashville of the Southern league. Though a Nash vile sporting writer, without the ap- proval of President w. G. Hirsig. pub lished a silly card to the effect that unless Birmingham turns Elliott over to Nashville, Birmingham will be heavi- 1 ly fined, MT. Baugh is hopeful that he will be able to render the Volunteers the favor of turning Elliott over to them.
 Manager Molesworth will have two fair catchers when he arrives, Yantz of last season, and Lemon, star of the San Antonio club of the Texas league

NOT
 YET CONFIRMED Strong Opposition Has De- yeloped Against Suterer
 for Postmaster

washin gton, December 26.-(Special.) ) Strong opposition is developing against the confirmation by the Senate from prominent citizens of Gull man. MT. Suterer's name was sent to the Senate for the position a few days ago by the President, but confirmation was held up until certain charges that are being filed are investigated.
 Congressman Burnett and the two senators are receiving many letters from from prominent citizens of Gull man. Some of them are strongly op- posed to the appointment of MT. Sut- erer, while others are just as strong ly in favor of his confirmat ton. The let ters are coming from both republicans and democrats.
 There seems to be no party fight ovei the confirmation. The opposition seems to be based on charges of a persona nature that will probably be investi gated before the nomination Is con l firmed.

PARTY. CONVENTIONS
ny WALTER HARPER


 Washington, December 26.-(Special.) j. The republican party has reluctantly ac cepted the inevitable issue for the cam paign of 1912. It is to be the tariff. Th' people and the democrats would aecep no other.
 The democrats will continue the figh for tariff for revenue only. This is wha the people seem to demand The demo crats are standing pat.
 The republicans have modified their DO sition. They have by word and promise yielded to the demand for revision down. ward, but will not abandon the idea ol l protection-protection of profits to ths manufacturer. And they hope to win or 1 this issue. This has always been the re- publican policy. True, they have been greedy in their demands for manufac- 1 turer's profits. It remains to be seen fl the people will further tolerate the policy in any degree.
 It is a clear cut issue and one that the people can readily understand.
 Shall the manufacturer be protected in his profits or shall the consumer have the advantage of legitimate competitive prices on the necessities of life?
 The people know that the republicans will reduce the degree of protection no lower than the exigencies of politics seem to demand. There will be no degree of sincerity in any reduction that is made or permitted.
 It has already been announced with a positiveness that carries the conviction of executive authority that any bill sent to the President that does not protect the profits of the American manufacturer will be vetoed.
 This same therat without the modifica- ton was Haunted in the face of the dem- ocrats at the last special session. The threat was made good.
 It is considered certain that any demo- cratic tariff bill that may be sent to the President during the present session will meet the same fate as the woolen and cotton bills that passed last summer.
 The minority members of the ways and means committee are writing a wool bill that will enbody the republican idea of profit protection. This will be turned down by the democrats in the House democratic bills based on the idea of tariff for revenue only with possible compro- mise with tho Senate will go to the Pres ident and get the promised veto.
 And there is the issue for the 1912 cam paign.
 The republicans will claim that protec- ton insures steady work and a full din- ner jail
 The democrats will argue that American industry and skill needs no further pro- tection. that protection is unjust and un- fair and that the interests of the American consumer should be protected.
 The republicans will make the claim that a tanff for revenue only will close down the American manufacturing plants and ruin the country.
 The democrats and the peoples sober judgment will give it the lie.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 They broke the news to the convict as gently as possible, but he was nevertheless quite overcome.

 We are no longer in a position to say to Germany what we. said at the time of the Venezuelan incident. The Monroe doctrine had then been called into question. We served notice upon Germany that we would maintain the doctrine and Germany withdrew grace fully from Venezuela. Why? Simply because as compared with Germany we had control of the sea. Our navy was then SO per cent stronger than Germany's. There was no war and no resultant burden of cost. That was economy. ..Rut suppose Germany today should seek to dispute the Monroe doctrine, and suppose we should assert that II small be maintained. We no longer nave con trol of the sea. We must either yleld inc Monroe doctrine or fight for It. or course. we would fight. The point l want to make is that we are no longer in A position to avert such a conflict because we are no longer more power ful than Germany. In the case or Venezuela Germany yielded because the .IInited States was in a position to de- feat her navy. Today the case Is re- versed
 These are a few reaSOnS Wiy ooh tend it is not economy to maintain weak navy, but to the contrary, It IS a certain road to enormous losses.
