ID SETTLE PAVING
 QUESTION FRIDAY
Fies Company Will Probably Be Awarded the Wood
 Block Contract

Tine commission held a special meet ing yesterday morning to consider the wood block paving question affecting the downtown business blocks. After some objections had been made the commissioners instructed the city at torney to draw up an ordinance for the work to be done by the Southern Asphalt and Construction company. of which Eugene Fies is president The commissioners, it will be recalled, awarded the work to the McCartin company, which concern subsequently asked that the work be done by the of the inability of the former company to get the creosoted wooden blocks.
 The subject will be finally acte l upon at the meeting Friday. The ques- tion was open until yesterday and rep resentatives were there for the Me- Cartin company, the Southern company and the Creosoted Wood Block com pany. Samuel Earle, one of the cit izens committee favorable to the wood blocks, said he believed the Southern Creosoted Wood Block company should be given the work inasmuch as per haps that company knew more about laying wood blocks than the local com pany. President Fies and Vice Presi- dent Ely both affirmed that they could do the work as well as anyone.
 The meeting was rather extensive and while it lasted the situation was threshed over thoroughly. The commis- sloners made 1t plain that wood blocks only were being considered and they only wanted to give all parties inter- ested square deal. It was understood that the commissioners never for a moment considered letting the local company do the work until 1t had been ascertained that not one nickle more would be paid by the citizens and that the best material obtainable would be used.
 While the subject is still open for consideration it is safe prediction that the Southern Asphalt and Con sfruction company will execute con tract Friday between the city for the beginning of the work.

Mr Aldrich is requesting still more carriers. as he could use 10 more easily.
 The enlargement of the mail delivery zone under the increased force of mail carriers will be general throughout the city, and no particular section will be favored.

IMPRESSIONS OF
 DIR. WILSON AT PRINCETON

and one cannot sway him when his mind Is fully made up. He is especially fond of gathering all possible data on any subject. assembling 1t before him, dis eussiug it frankly and openly and then forming his conclusion. From what I have been able to see of Dr. Wilson there exists no real reason for fear that he will not secure the best possible talent and information upon all subjects given him. His statement this morning that he will shoulder a heavy responsibility with his friends indicates his intention of relying on sound advice from other quarters than his own
 He made an ideal president of Prince ton and will make a splendid President of the United States. Dr. Wilson was always popular with the student body because he manifested interest in their work and desires, yet there is no room for me to say that he is easy to approach. On the contrary, he Is difficult to ap- proach." Ss.ss

That so far as his company is concerned the national election result had not and would not affect the developments planned was the statement yesterday of Manager Director W. winans Freeman of the Alabama Interstate Power company He said that the expenditure of s5.oo09o0 would be an accomplished fact within one year from this time and within that period the city of Birmingham would be supplied electric current by the com rary now doing the work in this state.
 Mir. Freeman gave 1t as his opinion that the big business companies had thor oughly discounted the election of Cover nor Wilson and the result Tuesday was only what had been expected. He added that every energy would be exerted to push forward the work of his company in this state.
 "The election Tuesday of Governor VII son had been discounted very materially in my opinion" said MT Freeman. ''The fact that the stock market was absolutely void of excitement today indicates such to have been the case as well as the general logic of the whole situation. The OuSluboS ol ~AhhSiASo SObio otS distinctly the change that was coming and were prepared for the final result. Our company engaged in building the dam at Lock 12 for the purpose of bring ing gie-t E+szg here will be undisturbed by the result.

p1eted as rapidly as possible. It is rather eating up interest, and it is to our benefit to get the power to Birmingham as quickly as possible believe it will be here within 12 months. We are getting our transmission lines now and will bring high pressure cables overhead from our generating plant near the dam to Bir- mingham, That line will be of steel tow CTS and will cost about S1o0 per tower. We also intend to send this line on to Gadsden. At the latter place our com pany is engaged in erecting a steam power plant to fill in there when neces- sity demands. We did not think 1t neces- sary to build an auxiliary plant in Bir- mingham.
 This movement for water power de- velopment here is far from being a new thing, but 1t has been more talked of than actually created in the past The people of the south, believe. have always recog- nized the power they possessed. but not until this time were the means available for carrying to a conclusion this work. We believe that our efforts in this direc- ton will result in a tremendous benefit to the whole state.''
 Mir. Freeman said so far as he knew the rumor that the electric trusts were behind the water power developments in this state were not based upon facts. He also said that he knew nothing of the proposed sale to the Birmingham Rail- way Light and Power company of power which would be cheaper than the present co1t of manufacture in this district by that company.

WAS DEATH KNELL ID. REPUBLICAN PARTY, THINKS UNDERWOOD House Leader Indicates That He Thinks Special Ses-
 sion Is Assured TALKS OF PLAN FOR
 NEW POSTOFFICE Does Not Favor Buying More Land as It Would Indefinitely Delay
 Construction of the
 Building

In the national struggle for the sur vival of the Attest, in the opinion of Oscar W. Underwood, democracy has won and the republican party is des- tined not to apepar in the annals of future history.
 Mr Underwood believes that future struggles in American politics will be between the democrats and the so- called "progressives." This is of pe- culiar interest inasmuch as 1t Is gen. era1ly thought that in 1918 MT. Under- wood and Colonel Roosevelt will be the principal candidates for the presidency of the United States.
 'The result of the eleetion,' stated Mir Underwood last night "is mag nifioent victory for Governor Wilson and for the democratic party. It Illus trates the fact that the people arc aroused to the need of government for the people. It Is an indication of the falling away of the voters from the republican party. 1t Is my opinion that that party Is destined to figure no more as one of the great political organ izations of the country"
 Special Session Probable
 That there will be special session of Congress is considered certain by MT. Underwood. The people by putting the democrats in power" he said, fin dlcate that they desire a revision of the tariff downward. This promise was con tained In the basic plank of our plat form It is my opinion, therefore, that as soon as possible the democrats will get together in an extraordinary ses- sion and revise the tariff"
 It is understood that the tariff bills. written by MT. Underwood during the last session Of Congress and which were vetoed by President Taft, will be again submitted to Congress. approved by that body and signed by the new President
 Tt Is now up to us" continued Mir. Underwood. The people have expressed their approval of our policy and have put us in power. It is now our duty to give them what they want. This, I be- lieye, we will be able to do. I predict q successful administration for Gov ernor Wilson and the continuation of the party in power"
 Government Building Appropriation
 In the winter session of the present 1bnBTtSS WODu tApetlS lHf passage of a general appropriation bill. If this bill is passed he will endeavor to secure an appropriation for the con- sispction of government building in Birmingham. The lot. as is known, has already been purchased
 If the appropriation bill is passed" stated Mir Underwood, 'I will endeavor to take care of Birmingham I am cer- tain that I can do so. In this way we can construct the new government building, which I know is badly need ed"
 MT Underwood did not seem to favor an effort to obtain an additional ap- propriation for the purpose of buying more land for the building. "If the at tempt is made" stated he, 'it would de- lay for an indefinite period the con- struction of the building"
 MT Underwood will remain in Bir- niingham-quietly. he hopes-until the last days of this month.

DRYERS COMMENT
 ON THE ELECTION
Muckraking Magazines Had Inflamed Public Mind Against Republican
 Institutions

In commenting on the election. E. IT. Dryer. referee in bankruptcy for the southern section of the northern district of Alabama in the federal building yes- terday said: Results speak for them selves. An important factor that should not be overlooked in the election returns is the way the great unrest of the coun- tr1y was manifested by the largely in- creased socialist vote The undertaking magazines which for Athe past three or four years have kept up an uneeasing campaign of exposures of national polt- icaI graft had its effect in infiaming the public mind against republican nstitu- tions And notwithstanding the over whelmng victory of the democratic party the future political complexion of this country is still highly problematic.'
