 "The Chamber of Commerce of Bir- mingham has made a wise selection in choosing as president John ". Sibley. MT.

MT. Sibley will make an active, broad minded president. When men of his type are placed at the head of the business organizations of the south and their work heartily backed up by the community these or ganizations can be made very great factors in the material advancement of the south Birmingham. and, for that matter, every city in the south that wants to really do things, needs this kind of cooperative or team work un- der the leadership of man of broad business ability and untiring energy

 The race promises to be interesting to tbe finish. and il Is believed that the vote. when coureed, will be close. The candidates are among the best known men of the state. MT Henderson had been prominent in Troy and Pike county for long number of years before his appointment to the presidency of the commission by Governor Conner. to which office he was afterwards elected without opposition by the people. MT. Brown ispat present secretary of state, an office which he won by an over whelming vote. He has a larger per sona1 following in Alabama, it is stated, than any other young man. and 1t is certain that he will poll large vote on April 1.
 The effort of John H. Wallace, Jr.. chairman of the fish and game com mission, to gain another term, and the effort of his opponents, E. C. Janney of Birmingham. and John w. Cheney of Montgomery. to defeat him. have aroused the interest of the people. The
 Ai creating the department for the protection of the fish and game of Ala bama was drawn by Mir Wallace and introduced by him in the legislature. lie was unanimously elected chairuaH and has since been in charge Captafn Cheney is connected with the state de- partment of agriculture. and MT Janney is connected with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company in its land department.

900 VOTERS PAID POLL TAX YESTERDAY
Only Four Days Remain for Delinquent Ones to En-
 franchise Themselves

Nine hundred persons paid their poll tax yesterday, which brings the number of roll taxes paid to the tax collector at the courthouse up to 7ioo. To this number might be added $50 paid the deputy tax collector at Ensley and 500 at Bessemer. This will bring the total number of taxes paid to S35O. While this is a fair average, judging by the amount paid last year, there are thousands of taxes still unpaid. The estimated voting strength of the coun- tv is between F. GOO and 15O00, and as only four days remain. those whose taxes are unpaid will have to act soon in order to pay enough taxes to bring the voting strength up to the average.

Congressional Races

Shortly after February l the various congressional committees will meet for the purpose of making arrangements for the election or reelection of congressman. The committee of the Fourth district has been called to meet February and other calls will soon issue. Very little excite ment has been developed in reference to the congressional campaign The indica- tions are that only two of the present con- gressmen will have opposition. William Richardson of the Eighth district is op- rosed by Capt Samuel Blackwell of De- catur and Hugh Dent of the Second dis trict is opposed by Capt. o. c. Wiley of Troy. The impression prevails that the incumbents will be reelected.
 Judge E. B. Almon, speaker of the Ala bama house who on Monday announced himself candidate for Congress from the Eighth district, announced yesterday that he had retired from the race. He gave as a reason for his action that many of his friends, believing that he would not run. had already pledged themselves to the other candidates, leaving the impress sion that this fact would result in his de- feat and in the embarrassment of his friends.
 With the exception of Thurston H. All len of I.auderdale county, it is believed that all the candidates for congressman at large have formally announced them selves. The statement of MT. Allen is ex- pected this week.

STATE CONVENTION MAY LACK HARMONY .ON CERTAIN POINTS No Lack of Genuine Enthu- siasm for Alabama's
 FavOrite Son
STATE CONTESTS ARE
 FULL OF INTEREST
Believed That List of Entries for Congressman at Large Is Now Practically Closed-Other
 Political Gossip

The convention of Alabama democrats which will occur in Montgomery April 17 Is not destined to be harmony conven- ton. There will be no effort made to un- dermine oscar w. Underwood. and it is probable that Justices Mcclellan and Sayre will be reelected without opposl- ton.
 But on other subjects there is destined to be a series of the livest scraps in the history of the state. The. first clash will occur over the election of delegates to tho national convention. There is already large number of well known men who are planning to attend the convention q: med with delegate credentials, and it is understood that if slate is formed a strenuous effort will be made to defeat that slate. Already politics is being played all along the line, and it is possi- ble that when the convention rolls around two well fortified factions will be drawn up expecting battle.
 The delegates from the "blackbelt" counties are going to the convention de- termined to renew the fight waged so strenuously before the state democratic executive committee in the interest of the representation of those counties. These delegates will want representation based on population as against voting strength, the reason being the preponderance Of negro population in the counties which they will represent.
 The delegates from the "blackbelt' will be in the minority. But to gain their point, it is understood that they will be willing to form a coalition with other factionists. If the coalition is formed it will represent a majority capable of put ting through any legislation which it de- sires
 In the meantime the indications are that oscar w. Underwood will be the only presidential candidate to receive the attention of the Alabama voters April l. The qualification time limit expires Febru- ary l. The petition that Underwood's s rame be put upon the ticket has already reached Tyler Goodwyn, chairman of the state democratic executive committee. An effort was made in certain counties to gain an indorsement of 50o voters for Woodrow Wilson, but from recent devel- opments it seems that the effort has fallen flat.

Congressman at Large

Fred Wall, the youthful mayor Of Athens, and candidate for Congress from the state at large, stated yesterday in Birmingham that he would make thorough canvass of the state before April I. and that he felt confident of win ming the prize in the pursuit of which so many other prominent men are engaged.
 There is little doubt but that the race for the extra congressional seat to which Alabama is entitled will prove one of the most interesting in recent years. Each of the candidates are already hard at work. and from the evidence at hand no stone will be left unturned.
 Victor B. Atkins of Selma plans to center his attack In Jefferson county. This cadidate for Congress spent several days in Birmingham last week, and will announce local headquarters within the next few days It is probable that Sen ator Hugh Morrow will accept the posi- tion of state campaign manager, and it is understood that Judge John Hearst Miller will look after Jefferson county in the interest of the Selman. Isaac w. Hill. who is also a candidate for the honor of becoming the first Alabama congressman n at large. is making a man to man hunt throughout the state. and in the opinion of politicians he is developing great strength. Col. H. Y. Brooke. with the in- dorsement of the executive committee of his home county, Crenshaw, behind him, is making hay while the sun shines in spite of his inability. on account of the state examinations which he has been and still is conducting. to make a campaign over the entire state. The other candidates for congressman at large, Daniel Cook of Wilcox. John w. Abercrombie of Calhoun and Kyle B. Price of Coffee, are making energetic campaigns MT.

Has No Jurisdiction.

One of Representative Kahn's Cali,
fornia constituents wrote to him not
long ago inclosing blue prints of de-
vice he had thought up for "scrutiniz'
Ing heavenly bodies" as he put it.
He wished to have an appropriation
of a million dollars or SO from con-
eress to perfect his device, so that the
humb!est citizen could know just
what is going on in Mars and various
celestial points.
Kahn didn't like to offend the man
with a flat refusal Of congress to ap-
pronriate this money. and he put 1t to
him like this:
I'VE have gone over the situation
carefully, and the best lawyers among
us are of the opinion that VIC can dc
nothing for the reason that congress
has no Jurisdiction over heavenly
bodies"
