 RESULT OF THE ELECTION

world who can make a correct fore cast. being utterly unable to state in advance of the election what per cent of the 1908 vote that Roosevelt will take from Taft or that Wilson and Debs will take from Haft or what per cent Taft, Roosevelt and Debs will take from Wilson. Surely Roosevelt has none to lose and all to gain as he was not running in 1908 If Wilson carries New York and New Jersey he will carry all the other states excepting California lS, Idaho 1. illinois ss, Michigan l5. New Hampshire 1, Pennsylvania 3s. Utah |,
 Washington and Wyoming ,. a total of IT votes, which will be divided be tween Roosevelt and Taft. The balance, 414 votes. will go to Wilson.
 If Wilson falls to carry New York and New Jersey tho same sentiment
 would very likely prevail in other states and the election would either go into the House or Roosevelt land slide would put the colonel in the White House"

Marcus Well, who in the past has made a number of very successful cleo tion forecasts, declined yesterday to make any definite forecast on the re- suits tomorrow but he made a state. ment on the situation which will be read with interest by everyone who has been watching the political trend. He said:
 This Is the first presidential cleo ton since 1884 that I have not been able to make a straight out forecast putting each state to the credit of the man who should win it, Being n three-cornered fight there is no doubt in my mind that if all the democrats vote for Wilson he will carry 46 states out of IS. The two states he would not carry would be Vermont and Utah. They will go for President Taft and Roosevelt Debs and Chain would not get any.

What Birmingham Traveling Men Say About
 Busmess, Politics and Things In General

social circles Mir Monroe travels the Central of Georgia railroad and the Louis vile and Nashville north and south, which is a rather extensive territory In this state. He said Saturday that the tanners were beginning to turn thetr cot ton loose. in the markets of the smaller cities and that good price is being re- ceived.
 we are sll intte ested in what the farmers are doing,' said MT. Monroe Sat urday. For it rests with them whether we are prosperous in a large measure. am told that the cotton and corn crop this year is very good. The farmers have been slow to let their cotton go for the prices prevailing during the early part ot the season. but now they are getting into the market strong. I am told that a large volume of cotton was sold during the past week in my territory. The activity of the souths staple regulates the busi- ness that this jobbing center transacts, So our business has been excellent"
 ''The crop of cartridges is good, also, continued Mir. Monroe, who is some shot. "The effective enforcement of the game laws has preserved the game of this state wonderfully and the sportsmen this year will find an unusual amount of game to be hunted. The trains now are filled with men out for a few days hunt and, believe me, 1t Is fine work.

]. P. Oliver

j. P. Oliver. who travels for the local branch of Armour & Go. in the counties about Birmingham, came in Saturday aft ernoon and spun the following narrowing yarn to "Slim" Fielding, assistant man aeer: "The meat business is showing an alarming falling off In the country ais tricts owing to the fact that the farm- CTS are killing their own stock. This weeks business has been very poor. l" Later in the afternoon MT. Oliver met reporter and talked optimistically of the prosperous conditions in central Ala bama. Mir Oliver said: "On my route the farmer is prosperous, for he has enjoyed heavy crops the past season, and they are finding a ready market at record prices. The cotton prices are advancing and the cotton movement should come along very brisk from now on. The pos ltical sentiment Is all in favor of Will son, and he will undoubtedly poll the largest democratic vote ever cast in Ala bama."

They usually get to Birmingham once week for short conference with the sales manager and other executive officials. That company caused much comment during the lecent Confederate Veterans reunion at Macon by supplying the principal amount of bread used in that city by the vets. A. E. Griffin, one of the salesmen covering a part of the Mississippi territory, was here Saturday. He said that Wilson would be elected tomorrow; that the crops were good, and the general outlook splendid.
 This wave of prosperity and good feel ing that Birmingham is enjoying extends all over the country said MT. Griffin. Men engaged in all lines of work are oI- timistic over the future and business is being handled accordingly. The feeling is that this wave of good bushes will be succeeded by still greater one after the election has quieted things down some what. Birmingham all the while is being boosted in places least believed and every where we have inquiries about this pro- gressiye placer"

l the legislators brain flags in Birming- ham. but l want to say right here when the city government, the courts. the patrolmen. etc, have to take orders from the B. Y. F. U., Dr. Dickinson and his various church organizations, I cannot only show you 5000 but 30,oOO geod citizens of this town who are ready to pack their grip. I would not have You mistake my attitude to- ward Christianity. l have the greatest reverence; In fact, l myself have two brothers Baptist preachers. There are hundreds of good, church. going people in Birmingham today who are ashamed of MT. Dickinson's accusations.
 i I am familiar with the criminal con. d!tions of Birmingham, I handled the i ci animal work out of the sherin's Of 1 ice for 8 long time. l know the con- ditions we'll and am not exaggerating when I say that Judge Lane and the resent form of government have ac- ccmpllshed more during their period of administration than has been ac- complished during the last five years. Take, for example: I am in the retail drug business at Avenue F and Twelfth l street of this city. 1 have seen the time when 15 blind tigers" were run ning in full blast within five blocks of this store, Sunday, as well as during the week. and practically all operated 1 in private residences, and in great many instances women serving the drinks. I saw on one occasion a Sun day afternoon, 32 young men and boys, two-thirds of whom were minors, in one residence, seated at tables, three crap games in opcI ation, draught beer being carried to them as fast as 1t could be dispensed-all apparently well 1 intoxicated The other places were be- l ing operated in the same manner, mak- | ing no mention of the fights had and money wasted The Sunday 'drunks" entering the store then was more than annoying. I wish to give thanks to Judge Lane, Chief Bodeker and all others connected with that department l that no such conditions exist today 1t has been many Sundays since I have noticed a man in my place with the slightest appearance of intoxication. and to my own personal knowledge, very. very little. if any, whisky Is be- il sold illicitly in this locality.
 Police Officers
 With reference to some of the police officers violating the law: Any close ob- serving man. well acquainted in Birming- ham, will readily say the standard of men doing police duty has been raised leo pe' cent within the last F months. Instead of being lot of broken down politicians and whisky drinkers, you see a lot ol clean, well dressed young men with dig. l nified manners. Instead or hanging arouro blind t,sers'' for hours and hours the, are looking after the work of their beat: and moving along.
 One out of l2 betrayed Christ, but there is not any use to murder Judge Lane oi i that account. l might call MT. Dickinson. attention to the fact that only a shor' while ago one Rev. Rfcheson was electro
 outed for poisoning member of his choir There is not any use to condemn all ths preachers because one went wrong. Int goats get in every profession, as wei as the police force.

That Fayette, Ala, is one of the clean est, brightest and most enjoyable cities in Alabama or the south and is progress ing very fast was statement of W. D, Putnam of that city, one of the H. Nj Beck Candy company travelling men. He was here Saturday paying his usual visit to headquarters. MT. Putnam is widely known in northern Alabama and other parts of this state over which he has been travelling for long time.
 In reference to the gas developments in the Fayette field, MT. Putnam said the Providence oil and Gas company mer were at work and they expected new well in this week. He said that pipe line was supplying Fayette with heat, fuel and light gas and that all those who used that commodity were well pleased with the service.
 "Fayette is certainly a great place, said MT. Putnam. After the fire de- stroyed our town the progressive residents started to rebuild. They profted by the fire to the extent of doing the new build ing well and with an eye to the future. The result has been that we have one of the cleanest little places in this whole country and we are making progress right along. Fayette is kept clean. 1t is sani- tary, and the residents are delightful peo- pie to associate with.
 "The gas developments in the Fayette field have contributed considerable to our progress, think. We have natural gas as fuel light and heat. The company sells it to another company which sells it to the people The quality of the gas is good and we ali utilize the natural product. The developments at Fayette have not stopped but are going ahead with great vigor. The Providence Oil and Gas company continues to drill and it is expected that another we'll will be in soon.
 Business in my territory is very good We feel like the holiday season will be unusually fine The merchants seem ta think that way. The cotton crop in the western part of the state is better than In the northwestern part, according to our information, while the general gathering work seems to be we'll under way. The farmers are encouraged over the chances for rather good price for cotton"
