WORK IN HARMONY
 ON CANAL PROJECT Understood Industrial Con
 cerns Are Interested SUCCESS IS IN SIGHT
Data Now Being Compiled on Subject Expected to Make Very Strong Impression on United
 States Congress

It is stated that the large corporations of the Birmingham district, including even the railroads. are now giving their strong the-gulf waterway project and are hard at work behind the scheme putting forth strenuous efforts toward It's success.
 Since the first announcement that the government had detailed United States Engineer Little and United States In- speotor Craighill, both located at Tus- caloosa, to examine and make a report on the feasibility of the Birmingham to the gulf waterway the interest in the Birmingham district has been aroused. Both MT. Little and MT. Craighill have been conducting their examination of the route of the proposed waterway in a more or less secret manner. They have been in Birmingham and Bessemer sev- eral times, but at the time little was known of thelr movements and little more Is known now. However. it Is stated that on the last one or two of these trips Into the Birmingham district representatives of some of the large industrial corpora tions here met the two federal employees and accompanied them in their investiga- tions
 Secretary W. c. Radcliffe of the Cham Der of Commerce is still at work on the data he Is gathering on the tonnage from this district, production and consump- ton Of Birmingham and the district and he states that 1t will probably be com pleted sometime next week. This data will be submitted to the Tuscaloosa en- gineers, who are detailed on the project by the government, and will form the basis of the report which they will make to the federal government.
 J. A. Van Hoose, chairman of the Cham Der of Commerce waterway committee, which has the scheme in charge. Is very enthusiastic. He stated yesterday that some of the local railroad men whose names he could not divulge were enthus- iastie for the canal, stating that instead of It's hurting them 1t would help by talk ing off their hands the heavy freight which now kept their lines blockaded and caused car shortages.
 "The importance of the data being gath cred by Mr. Radcliffe, MT. Slater and Mir Weller" stated MT. Van Hoose, Ifs such that it cannot fail to greatly impress En- gineer Little and Inspector Craighill, and l have little doubt but what their report will be a strong recommendation in favor of the construction of the waterway"

for the detail work we would like to have you assume, in the closing days of the campaign. It will be interesting to ing a campaign of education in rather quiet but effective way and the vote we will receive from present indications will be a revelation to the people of the state. Yours truly, ]. O. THOMPSON.
 National Committeeman" Hon. J. o. Thompson National Commit teeman. Birmingham, Ala:
 My Dear MT. Thompson-1n reply to your letter of even date asking that I assume the position of temporary chair man of the progressive campaign com mittee of Alabama, I beg to state that 1 will be delighted to serve in that ca pacity during the absence of MT. Perry man.
 Tn assuming this position I wish to state that I am breaking away from the political ties of a lifetime. It is. how ever, not nasty action on my part. but the fixed determination following a care full study of the political situation in the country. l Honestly believe that the time has come for a third party, and that the progT essive party now offers the great opportunity for our people to break away from the old party lines and repudiate the boss rule that has hung like d mill stone about our necks.
 AS strong as l have been bound by party ties, having never cast my vote save for democrat, I have decided to vote for MT. Roosevelt. and to work for him. feeling that any man worthy of breaking the ties of a lifetime for is worthy of working for.
 At the same time want to urge all the people of Alabama to support Colonel Roosevelt, remembering that it was Mir. Roosevelt who displayed great courage in 1907 when he took action in the matter of the sale of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company and saved this district from the greatest calamity that could have happened to us. We owe him this additional debt of gratitude.
 'I sincerely hope that every true man who believes as I do will cast his vote for Mir. Roosevelt and you may rest as- sured that my best efforts from now until the election will be turned toward secur- ing a. vote in Alabama that will surprise the people. Yours very truly,
 "J. D. COLLINS"

ALABAMA DONATES

 1000 People


 Alabama has contributed tu the cam paign of the democratic candidates for president and vice president through ex- Governor William D. Jeks. national com mitteeuian. s12,50o.
 We are short in the assessment levied against us." stated the committeeman. "but have forwarded. at that, very neat sum-
 Governor Jelks then stated that the money was contributed by about 1000 peo- pie.
 There is scarcely a question: stated he, but that in proportion to population. Alabamas people have responded in greater numbers than the people of any other state.
 However, we can do more still. To- day. I wired headquarters $500 We need another 5000. We should raise that sum Friday and Saturday"
 Governor Jslks stated that Kentucky was practically the only states which had met the entire assessment levied against it. and that Kentuckys success in that regard is due princspally to the fact that the national committeeman from that state very wealthy man. has made exceptionally large contribu- .uons.

J. D. Collins, the well known proprietor of the Collins Shoe company, has accept ed the temporary management of the bull moose campaign in Alabama.
 ''T R." has captured him, and one life long democrat in Alabama, one at least, has gone into the ranks of the general opposition
 Mir. Collins has had dealings in politics. At one time he was an alderman of Bir- mingham. Later he managed the guber- material campaign of Col. S. D. Mallory in this county.
 He gives as reason for his defection from the ranks of democracy his belief that the time has come for a third party, and for the breaking of old ties which bound a man to democracy simply be- cause his father was a democrat. He speaks of the benefit received by this dis trict as a result of the absorption of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany by the United States Steel corpora tion, which occurred during the adminis- trsltion of MT. Roosevelt.
 Tho following letters in which is con tained the news of the defection of MT. Collins are self-explanatory:
 Birmingham, Ala, October 31 1912. 'Hon. J. D. Collins. City:
 Dear MT. Collins:-I am informed from several sources that you are an enthusi- astic supporter of Colonel Roosevelt and the progressive movement. Your attitude in that particular illustrates the situation not only in Alabama, but throughout the nation. You will recall that MT. Lamont of MT. Cleveand's cabinet, has just ad- dressed a communication to Colonel Roosevelt setting out reasons why demo- crats should support the progressive movement. The bulletins that are being received at our headquarters show in- numerable cases like MT. Lamont's and yours. May not ask you to take charge of our headquarters here for few days in the absence of our state chairman, MT. Perryman, who has been called away on account of the serious illness of amem- ber of his family? Your splendid man agement of Colonel Mallory's campaign in his recent fight for the democratic nomination makes you especially fitted

Curious Possibility Suggested

Colonel Harvey pointed out several weeks ago some interesting complica- tions that might arise should no can didate for President or vice presidents receive a majority in the electoral col lcge,'' said W. P. G. Harding. The death of Vice President Sherman sug- gests another curious possibility. The republican national committee has au- thority to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the candidate for vice pres ident, and. it's chairman has called meeting to be held in Chicago on No- vember 12, to name a person to re- ceive the votes of the republican cleo tors. Should it transpire in the mean time that no candidate for President will secure majority of the electoral votes 1t is possible that the committee may name President Taft as a candi- date for vice president.
 The constitution of the United States provides that the electors shall meet at the capitals of their respective states and cast their votes for their choice for President and vice president l (one of whom shall not be a resident of the same state as themselves). As MT. Taft Is a resident of the state of Ohio. electors from that state in casting their votes for him for Pres ident could not legally vote for an ether ohio man for vice president, but
  vote for Ohio men for both places. | "It is likely that democratic electors will be chosen In Ohio. but should MT | Taft be designated by the republican national committee as the candidate | for vice president, there seems to he TO legal obstacle in the way of his re- ceiving the votes of all republican cleo tors for both places. Under the con stitution the House would by states | lallot for President on the names of the three candidates having the high est number of votes In the electoral college, while the Senate, voting indi- vidually, would ballot for vice presi- dent on the names of the two candi- | dates having the highest number of | electoral votes. The present House of | Representatives has 22 states with democratic majorities 22 with repub- | lican majorities. while four are even | ly divided, so that if the House should | fail to elect a President the vice pres | ident to be chosen by the Senate would after March 1 succeed to the presI- dency. Assuming that MT. Wilson se.. cures plurality of the electoral votes l but not e majority, and that MT. Taft gets tie next largest number of cleo toral votes, it would be possible for him to succeed himself as President !! by being first placed on the ticket by the republican national committee as candidate for vice president by being voted for as such by the republican electors and by being cfosen vice pres ident by a majority of the present Sen ate.'
