BARKER'S COMMENT
 ON LEWIS LETTER
Says Lewis Is Too Well Known in State to Pay
 Him Any Attention

Mobile, March 5.-(Special) p. D. Barker commenting upon the Lew is letter read in the Senate Monday, that the charge of political activity should be made against him at this time, as he had been less active in this presidential campaign than he ever had been in any former campaign for the last 90 years.
 Possibly said Mr. Barker, "the neces- slty for such activity is removed because the republican sentiment in Alabama is so universally for MT. Taft's renomina- tion that the opposition forces have not been able so far to get up a contest 1et alone carry any primaries or con- ventons. There is no need of activity when there is virtually no opposition.
 AS to the statement of Postmaster Lewis of Bessemer, he ls too well known in Ala abama to pay any attention to them They remind me very much. though, of the pipe dreams with which he attempted to impose upon Secretary Hlles and the President when he and others were vow ing their allegiance to MT. Taft few months ago"

Dixon's Reply to Charge

If personalities are wanted In this campaign we'll give them more than they expect in the game" declared Dixon, manager of the republican headquarters of Theodore Roosevelt replying to a Taft statement called to his attention in a building owned by Frank Munsey. We elected Taft four years ago, you ltnow, out of the International Harvester Inn plement company in Chicago. So far as know no rent was paid for the rooms. Four years ago when I was trying to elect Taft, Mir. Mckinley, now head of the Taft company. was down south round ing up speakers for Mir Cannon"
 MT. Mckinley said in reference to the alleged activity among federal employees Under the recent ruling of the civil service commission the managers of any presidential candidate may inquire of any federal officeholder as to political affil- iations in his vicinity and may even ask his own political preferences. which l distinctively did not do in my letter of the 24th.
 No officeholder was asked by me to do anything which was not consistent with his honor and law. In this connec- ton I might suggest that MT Roosevelt s managers are as free as I am to write any officehoder in the United States at any time, and what Is more to the point, they are doing 1t.

delightful concert for the benefit of ths South Highlands Presbyterian church was given at the residence of MT. and Mrs E. w Barrett on Highland avenue last night under the auspices of Mrs. Solon H. Jacobs There was a seating capacity for D or more and nearly every seat was occupied. This was the programme:

The reception hall and the sun parlor. on either side of the main audi terium, contained the overflow. The listen ers'were discriminating and warm in their applause.
 Mrs. Turner, an accomplished violinist, made a charming impression. She played with grace and verve and was forced to respond to an encore.
 MT. Chaddck was in the best of form. He has been heard in public more than once in the noble song, Hear Me, Ye Winds and Waves" but his delivery of this classic was never better probably than last night. Mrs. ChalifouXs harp solo was a gem and was played most daintily. Her encore number was a beau tiful Welsh air by Abt-Thomas.
 Mrs. Stephenson made a fine impress sion. Her programme number was full of forid and difficult passages but her vocal ization was quite adequate. She was re- called and her encore song was singularly pleasing.
 MT. Hartzele, both as accompanlst and solo pianist. was musicianly and was cordially compimented.
 The tro-composed of Mrs. Stephenson, Mrs Williams and Miss Davis-was ad mirably rendered and was a fitting close t, an exceptionally artistic programme.

STIMSON IS OUT FOR

CONTINUED FROM PAGE n


 and the success he has attained in dealing with these national problems and not ac5 cording to the views which any of us may hold upon these local questions of state machinery"
 The Secretary of War drew attention to the investigations that have been made under President Taft into problems that had been the subject of serious contro- versy for years. The work of the tariff board. the Hadley railway securities com mission and the Hughes commission on second class mail matter were typical, he said, of the methods sought by MT. Taft to ascertain facts.
 |. "I doubt if there has ever been an ad- minstration where so many vital ques- tions of progress were under careful, scientific investigation and scrutiny by commissions of competent experts" he said.
 There is nothing dramatic about such a method; but a reform accomplished in the light of such carefully accredited facts is more likely to be permanent. This is the very essence of MT Taft's method as a reformer."
 Falsely Villified
 President Taft has been most falsely villihed and abused in connection with the tariff said MT Stimson, and has, iE fact, taken the republican party out of 
 fited by the tariff and has made part Of the republican progressive policy the downward revision of the tariff jaw schedule by schedule.
 .'Is not this a tremendous achievement in the direction of national progress" asked MT. Stimson, ito completely rescue his party from the methods and influences which, if uncontrolled. would inevitably turn it into a party of special interests and reaction? Is he not right in standing to the uttermost, even to the exercise of all of the executive powers of veto against the old privilege breeding methods of tariff revision employed by the democratic House of Representatives? Is he not light in insisting even against popular camor that we shall make a clean break with the past and that no tariff revision shall take place except upon these con ditions and after scientific study by non-partisan board of experts"
 Reviews Administration
 Secretary Stimson reviewed the admin istraton and it's achievements. He said that the President had outlined the sys- tenn of trust reform which, if adopted would put the country in "a fair way of solving our trust problem and solving 1t right: that in the corporation tax the President had turned the flank of one of the most stubborn Actresses of reaction" His interest in human well fare was evidenced by his devotion to the progress of the Filipnos said Mir. Stimson, through his activity in behalf of the arbitration treaties, his efforts for adequate workmens compensation and ef- fective employers liability laws and his suggestions for an industrial commission.

letter, challenging the Taft campaign forces ito a test by means of primaries was sent to Director William B. Me Kinley of the Taft campaign committee late today by Senator Dixon, ex-President Roosevelt's executive chairman:
 My Dear Mr. Mckinley:
 For the purpose of determining def- nitely whether the republican voters of the country desire Col Theodore Roose- welt or President Taft as their candi- date in the approaching presidential cam paign, l hereby challenge you to a test by means of primaries in every state in the unon.h
 Senator Dixon states that the obvious purpose of both the republican campaign committees is to elect a republican next fall; that both are interested primarily in the success of the party; and that the first requisite to such success Is to choose the candidate with the greatest popular strength.
