Bankhead Withdraws
Underwood S Name.

At the close of the forty fifth ballot
Senator ]. H. Bankhead, of Alabama,
came to the stand. He asked unani-
NOUS consent to make a statement.
There was no objection, and he pro-
ceeded:
@Mr Chairman and gentlemen of the
convention: Mr.. Underwood entered
this contest hoping that he might Sc
cure the nomination from this conven-
ton
But I desire to say for him that his
Arst and greatest hope was that
through this movement he might be
able to eliminate and eradicate for all
time every vestige of sectional feeling
in this country.
mt. Underwood today was willing
to forego this nomination if he had
succeeded and if the country had con-
Guided that Mason and Dixon's line
had been trampled out and that this is
once more united country. We have
demonstrated here, my friends, in my
judgment, that no longer does sectional
feeling exist
''The liberal treatment that Mr.. In
derwood has received in the East has
satisfied him that if they had an op-
portunity to nominate him they would
rush to his aid.
Mr. Underwood does not enter this
contest to defeat any man for the nom
ination. He will not be a party to the
defeat Of any candidate. His only hope
was that the great record he had made;
his belief was that under his leader
ship things had been achieved that
would have assured the election of
Democrat at the next election.<
He has always said: I take no per-
sonal part IN this campaign I have no
time. I have full mans work cut out
for me at Washington and I want to
make it possible to elect the Democrat
&c nominee. whoever he may be- Cap
pause)
Upon that high ground he stands
today Upon that high ground he will
stand tomorrow and all other days He
had no concern beyond that which
comes to any man who desires to win
But think the time has come when
It has been demonstrated that he can
not be nominated in this convention.
And he can not be used to defeat
the nomination of any other candidate
He and his friends are ready and will
ing to give the nominee of this conven-
tion their hearty support.
He and his friends have stood on
every Democratic platform that has
been written since 1896
He will stand upon any platform
this convention will write. He is a
Democrat and stands for the success of
his party"

NEW INDUSTRY IN
 WHITE WAY POSTS The Annist0n Product Has
 Opened New Field LOCAL IRON IS USED New Posts Are Very Artistic and Promise to Meet Wide Sale as
 White Way Plan Spreads
 Over the Country

| It is a fact of much interest in indus trial circles that a new and important use for pig iron is found in the whits way. The ornamental lamp posts in Bir- mlngham are manufactured in Anniston or Birmingham pig iron.
 The white way is so popular that every city in thls country will soon adopt this brilliant method of street illumination. John L. Parker. a member of the Tweii- tieth street white way committee. said yesterday:
 | "It Is a matter of local pride that the artistic lamp posts used in Birmingham's white way are manufactured in Annis- ton, a neighborlng Alabama city, of pig iron produced in Birmingham. Everyone understands the value of this industrial center of converting raw pig metal into a finished product. A great deal of the Birmingham district iron goes into steel | rails. Some goes into steel bars and some into steel wire. A large tonnage of Iron is melted for cast iron pipe, but thers is still a considerable tonnage entirely ] too much-left for sale as merchant iron to be shipped north to manufacturers who turn II into finished products and get the blg profits, Now there are large possi- bilites in this new industry making or- namental posts for white way illumina- tion
 Several cities have the wDita yay, but the posts used arc nothl1g like 50 artistic as those turned out bY the Unian Foundry company at Admission. of which Mi Gerard Schumacher is vice presldent and general manager MT. Schumacher | is a most energetic business man. and it goes without saying that he will be | successful competitor In many cities of the north and west Every lamp post that he sells will mean that much more demand for Birmingham iron. The Annis- tor company produces lamp posts of high quality and at cheaper price than other foundry. If cities that are about to put up white way lights will only send rep- resentatives to Birmingham to look at our streets at night MT. schumachers company will soon be crowded with white way orders"
