North Dakota Leads Off

Nine states have adopted regular presidential preference primary laws, namely, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Oregon, California, New Jersey, South Dakota, Massachusetts and Michigan. This does not include states which will hold primaries in ac- cordance with decision of party com mittees. For example, Alabama on April 1, and Georgia on May 1. All told perhaps a dozen states will eX- press their preferences before the con- ventions are held.
 North Dakota led off yesterday, and it's vote resulted in a distinct vic tory for Senator LaFollette over Col onel Roosevelt. William Howard Taft "did not figure" say the dispatches from the state, prominently in the contest
 Indeed he did not. He was ignored
 
 by nine voters out of ten. This con- demnation in republican state is the most marked defeat that the President has encountered. Practically speak ing no republicans in North Dakota desire to see Mr. Taft renominated. It is idle to say that President can be reelected when a strong republi- can state ignores him. MT. Taft's plurality in 1908 in North Dakota was 24,795. On joint ballot in the legis- lature the republicans have majority of 113. Colonel Roosevelt formerly lived for a number of years at Me dora in North Dakota, and this fact adds an extra sting to the LaFollette victory.
 The primary in North Dakota was of an official nature, applying alike to democrats and republicans, but the democrats seems to have been lost in the LaFollette- Roosevelt shuffle.
 The action of the North Dakota re- publicans demonstrates the folly of the Roosevelt boom, while it also points to the defeat of MT. Taft with his standpat, high protection record The republicans are marching straight to defeat, and the nomination of Oscar Underwood as the champion of rev enue tariff would render assurance doubly sure.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-21

concerned, and the Roosevelt boom will practically be out of the running.
 Tt is fairly safe to say" says the Mobile Register, that when the next presidential year rolls around the naming of candidates by both parties will be by primary; and that national conventions will be simply to ratify the will of the majority vote of the party and to formulate the statement of principles on which the battle will be fought. This will be natural evo- lution. Already we see all state can didates nominated in primaries, and in many states the senators are prac- tically elected by that process. Stead fly it is coming into practice for the choice of men to stand for office to be made by the people themselves.

Regarding Birmineham's Growth.

This city has made remarkable strides since I first saw 1t 20 years ago, said Francis Wright, representative of Harper & Bros publishing house, who has been spending several days here When arrived the other day l hardly recognized Birmingham as being the place I visited in the early nineties. But after looking around I recognized several old landmarks. Birmingham Is a very handsome city today It will con- tinue to grow rapidly and 20 years hence it's population will probably be over the half million mark
 . MT. Wright said that standard books were not in as much demand in south ern cities as he had expected to ind. Tn Texas cities and in Atlanta, just as in Birmingham, are many ante bellum gentlemen who have fine libraries, said he, but the younger generation seems to buy chiefly light ana frivolous liter ature. l suppose the young men or the south are too busy accumulating wealth to take an interest in serious books as their forebears did"

Great Piano yirtuoso Coming

Arthur Friedheim, the distinguished Russian pianist, is booked for recital at the Jefferson theatre Tuesday, April :. All persons who keep up"with the musical world knows him by reputation as the greatest Liszt player living.
 "As F'riedheim is in demand in all Of the large cities of the north he will make very limited southern tour, said a local musician. "He will appear only in New Orleans, Birmingham and one or two other cities in this part of the country
 T understand that Birmingham was selected after Manager R. F. Johnston of New York had canvassed the situ- atfon thoroughly. This city has ad- vanced steadily in musical culture and now a piano virtuoso Is sure to draw a good audience"

New Plans of Chamber of Commerce

President Sibley of the Chamber of Commerce wants 1000 additional members and the raising of $50,000 by subscription to make the organiza- ton effective. The directors, be it said to their credit, have pledged themselves to carry into effect Presi- dent Sibley's programme.
 A definite plan of operation is to be mapped out, and with this agreed upon it ought not to be difficult to ob- tain 1000 new members and to pro- cure $50,0O0 as a basis for the new work. to be done.
 It is believed that steps will be taken to build an auditorium that will call this way great conventions, and the location of new industries, and a public library, and various other ad- ditions that would go far toward making this city a desirable place of business and of residence.
 The sum named has never been raised here by any organization in a single effort, but President Sibley is confident it can be done, and he pro- poses to do his utmost to bring it about, and the directors are support ing him to man. The entire plan is feasible. This city is large enough to make large efforts, and President Sib- lev has the force and magnetism to make his plan so successful it will work a great change in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce.

Sketch of Enther RYan

The sRev Abram J. Ryan, the ''poet priest of the south" is the subject of an interesting biography in the thirteenth volume of the Catholic Encyclopedia which has just come from the press. Father Ryan was born at Norfolk, Va. August 15, 1899, and died at Louisville Ky, April %, 1886.
 He inherited from his parents,'' says the encyclopedia, fin it's most poetic and religious form the strange witchery of the Irish temper Fitted for the priesthood b;- a nature at once mystic and spiritual he was ordained just before the beginning of the civil war, entered the Confederate army as a chaplain, and served in this capacity until the end of the war. In the hour of defeat he won the heart of the entire south by his Conquered Ban ner, whose exquisite measure was taken, Gregorian hymns. The Marseillaise. as a hymn of victory, never more profoundly stirred the heart of France than did this hymn of defeat the hearts of those to whom it was addressed. It was read or sung in every southern household, and thus became the Spotheosis of the Lost Cause While much of his later war poetry was notable in it's time, his first effort, which fixed his fame, was his i finest production. The only other themes upon which he sang were those inspired by religious feeling. Among his poems Of that class are to be found bits of the most weird and exquisite smagery.
 within the limits of the southern Con federacy and the Catholic church in the 1 United States no poet was more popular. ] After the war he exercised the ministry l in New Orleans, and was editor of 'Ihe Star Catholic weekly; later he founded
 The Banner of the South in Augusta | Ga. religious and political weekly; then
 he retired to Mobile. In 1880 ne lec- tured in several northern cities. As q
 pulpit orator and lecturer he was always
 interesting and occasionally brilliant As
 a man he had a subtle fascinating na'
 ture, full of magnetism when he saw II i to exert it: as a priest he was full oi l tenderness, gentleness and courage IT i the midst of pestience he had no real i of death or disease. Even when he was young his feeble body gave him the ap' 1 pearance of age, and with I'll this there
 was a dreamy mysticism Of the poet SC
 manifest in the flesh as to impart' to his
 personality something which marked hin ] off from all other men. His Poems, Pa triotic, Religious and Miscellaneous have
 reached twenty-fourth edition

Excise Bill as Party Measure

The passage of the excise bill by a vote of 250 to 40 in the House was a remarkable victory. The republicans were fairly stampeded by it, and only 40 of them voted against it. Thirty republicans voted outright for the bill while 40 opposed it. Not democratic vote was recorded against it in the House, thus again reaffirming the leadership of Oscar Underwood in the ordinarily turbulent House. The bill went through exactly as it had been framed, and the democratic members honors themselves when they stand up solidly in support of just taxation and revenue tariff
 The passage of the excise measure by the House brings the democratic tariff programme within sight The wool schedule is all that remains be- fore an appeal is taken to the coun- try.
